The series that began as a somewhat realistic look at illegal street racing evolved into something akin to a superhero franchise.

But the first _Fast_ opened up the audience’s eyes to what planned recklessness could do—including driving under trucks. ### **5\.** [**_Fast & Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OLE1XU?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") Fans complained about the [CGI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF85XCCSst0 "undefined") in this film, especially this scene of Dom (Vin Diesel) driving under a fiery tanker. However, the stunt did give audiences their first glimpse at director Justin Lin’s ambition when it came to action. That ambition paid out in his fifth and sixth entries. ### **4.** [**_The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J1U0ZK/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B000J1U0ZK&linkId=fc7d7c7827dd954af5fe9306ddcbce16 "undefined") This movie introduced drifting, a technique that was used throughout the rest of the series. _Tokyo Drift_ was the last time fans got real high-stakes driving without bells and whistles like explosions and fireworks. ### **3\.** [**_Fast Five_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SAYRA6/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B005SAYRA6&linkId=b7491486e36bac418175d542342d73f2 "undefined") After _Fast & Furious_, Lin was determined to make _Fast Five_ look as real as possible. The car that crashed into the train? They really did that. The two guys jumping off a cliff _Butch Cassidy_\-style? That was real too, though stunt doubles were used. The safe the gang drags through Rio? Real, albeit [lighter than your average giant safe](http://ew.com/article/2011/12/17/fast-five-stunt-jack-gill/ "undefined"). ### **2\.** [**_Furious 7_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01251NV98/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01251NV98&linkId=59326372325d8ecfff7a9a6e63e0c5ed "undefined") They really did [drop 5 cars from a plane](http://www.businessinsider.com/furious-7-how-they-dropped-cars-from-a-plane-2015-4 "undefined") at 12,000 feet, and yet that stunt is upstaged by a CGI moment: Dom and Brian (Paul Walker) crash through two skyscrapers with a car. Still, the skyscraper scene was one of those rare moments when everyone in the theater yells, “Oh my God!” _twice_. ### **1\.** [**_Fast & Furious 6_**](https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Furious-6-Paul-Walker/dp/B00H7VCKKS?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") A testament to Lin’s new commitment to reality: A real tank crushed real cars, and the film crew built a fake airplane to film the final, epic moment on the runway. (Yes, the runway would have had to have been 29.3 miles long for this scene to work in real life, but stop nitpicking!) ### Fastest to Furious-ness How long do you have to wait until things get fast? ### **7\.** [**_Furious 7_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01251NV98/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01251NV98&linkId=59326372325d8ecfff7a9a6e63e0c5ed "undefined") 5:47 min. ### **6\.** [**_The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J1U0ZK/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B000J1U0ZK&linkId=fc7d7c7827dd954af5fe9306ddcbce16 "undefined") 5:45 min. ### **5\.** [**_2 Fast 2 Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018OFN2W/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0018OFN2W&linkId=282ce78d7fa58af4e65397969feb7dc0 "undefined") 4:01 min. ### **4\.** [**_The Fast and the Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018OFN1S/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0018OFN1S&linkId=cadb3b4014029b150434d40ddf4e5eb8 "undefined") 1:46 min. ### **3\.** [**_Fast & Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OLE1XU?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") 1:36 min. ### **2\.** [**_Fast Five_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SAYRA6/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B005SAYRA6&linkId=b7491486e36bac418175d542342d73f2 "undefined") 1:19 min. ### **1\.** [**_Fast & Furious 6_**](https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Furious-6-Paul-Walker/dp/B00H7VCKKS?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") 0:00 min. ### Number of Cars Harmed While Making This Picture The Fast _& Furious_ franchise totaled hundreds of real cars in production. ### **7\.** [**_The Fast and the Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018OFN1S/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0018OFN1S&linkId=cadb3b4014029b150434d40ddf4e5eb8 "undefined") 78 cars ### **6\.** [**_2 Fast 2 Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018OFN2W/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0018OFN2W&linkId=282ce78d7fa58af4e65397969feb7dc0 "undefined") 130 cars ### **5\.** [**_Fast & Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OLE1XU?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") 190 cars ### **4\.** [**_Furious 7_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01251NV98/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01251NV98&linkId=59326372325d8ecfff7a9a6e63e0c5ed "undefined") 230 cars ### **3\.** [**_The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J1U0ZK/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B000J1U0ZK&linkId=fc7d7c7827dd954af5fe9306ddcbce16 "undefined") 249 cars ### **2\.** [**_Fast Five_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SAYRA6/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B005SAYRA6&linkId=b7491486e36bac418175d542342d73f2 "undefined") 260 cars ### **1\.** [**_Fast & Furious 6_**](https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Furious-6-Paul-Walker/dp/B00H7VCKKS?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") 400 cars (est.)

[**_Fast & Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OLE1XU?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") This movie was too preoccupied with reuniting Vin Diesel and Paul Walker to bother with a cameo.

Considering that in an earlier film a similar accident actually resulted in serious injury, Dom would have certainly died in this scene. ### **5\.** [**_2 Fast 2 Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018OFN2W/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0018OFN2W&linkId=282ce78d7fa58af4e65397969feb7dc0 "undefined") Roman’s (Tyrese Gibson) car comes equipped with an “ejecto seato” straight out of a bad James Bond movie. ### **4\.** [**_Fast Five_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SAYRA6/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B005SAYRA6&linkId=b7491486e36bac418175d542342d73f2 "undefined") We’re fairly certain you cannot control where a giant safe might go when you make a hairpin turn. ### **3\.** [**_Fast & Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OLE1XU?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") Brian holds the bad guy’s foot so he can’t run away while Dom crashes into him. In real life, this is a great way to lose an arm. ### **2\.** [**_Furious 7_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01251NV98/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01251NV98&linkId=59326372325d8ecfff7a9a6e63e0c5ed "undefined") How did Letty even know Brian was climbing up that bus or when to turn her car? And wouldn’t Brian be screaming, “Did you see that?!?!” for the rest of the movie? (The Rock [Hulk-ing his cast off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIfk4pF4ry8 "undefined") just with his muscles is a close runner-up.) ### **1.**[ **_Fast & Furious 6_**](https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Furious-6-Paul-Walker/dp/B00H7VCKKS?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") Dom catches Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) in mid-air going at least 60 mph, and yet they still land on a car like it’s a bouncy house. It looks like makeup didn’t even bother to paint fake scratches and bruises on the actors. ### Best Quip Leave it to the _Fast_ family to make light of a deadly situation. ### **7.** [**_Fast & Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OLE1XU?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") Gisele (Gal Gadot) to Dom: “Are you one of those boys who prefers cars to women?” ### **6\.** [**_The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift_**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J1U0ZK/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B000J1U0ZK&linkId=fc7d7c7827dd954af5fe9306ddcbce16 "undefined") Neela (Nathalie Kelley): “Boys.

We need a plan C, D, E. We need more alphabets!” ### Best Song True fans will say the _Furious 7_ theme song wins for [emotional resonance](http://www.mtv.com/news/2134620/wiz-khalifa-paul-walker-see-you-again/ "undefined")—and [chart dominance](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6620238/wiz-khalifa-see-you-again-no-1-song-of-the-summer "undefined").

go in the first film. ### **6\.** [**_The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo

"undefined") _Tokyo Drift_ is an outlier, too far removed from the franchise’s beloved cast. ### **5\.** [**_Fast & Furious_**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OLE1XU?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") Despite its confusing title, subbing an ampersand for “and,” the movie profitably returned to the series’ roots. ### **4\.** [**_Fast & Furious 6_**](https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Furious-6-Paul-Walker/dp/B00H7VCKKS?tag=timemovies-20 "undefined") Bringing back Letty from the dead was an impressive twist. ### **3\.** [**_The Fast and the

](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01251NV98/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=timemovies-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01251NV98&linkId=59326372325d8ecfff7a9a6e63e0c5ed

"undefined")**(tied)** _Fast Five_ is the first film to bring the characters from all the other movies together and create a true “family.” (It’s also the first one with a [“fresh” Rotten Tomatoes score](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fast%5Ffive/ "undefined"). The Rock was a brilliant addition to the cast. His over-the-top fight scene with Diesel (along with the ludicrous stunts) indicated that the series had developed a much-needed sense of humor about itself. But for sheer emotional tour de force, no movie in the franchise measures up to _Furious 7_. Walker died during the making of the film, and the end is a deeply moving tribute to the actor. On screen, the stunts are bigger than ever. Though there’s too little of the Rock in this movie, Statham more than makes up for it as a villain just as determined to avenge his family as Diesel. When it comes to box office, _Furious 7_ raked in $1.5 billion worldwide. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4726355/fast-and-the-furious-movies-ranked/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4726355/fast-and-the-furious-movies-ranked/"},"headline":"We Ranked Every Possible Detail of the Fast & Furious Movies","datePublished":"2017-04-07T14:35:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:50:21.945Z","description":"We watched every film to determine which movie was the best, ranking the car flips, the quips and the man tears spilled over Corona beers.","url":"https://time.com/4726355/fast-and-the-furious-movies-ranked/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Matt Vella","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/matt-vella/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4726355/fast-and-the-furious-movies-ranked/","name":"We Ranked Every Possible Detail of the Fast & Furious Movies"}}]}] ```
