He wants to cozy up with Mia, and even if becoming close with her brother is only a perk, it’s a pretty awesome perk. But the deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole he goes, the less he wants to come out. On closer inspection, it’s revealed that he’s a cop, and Spilner isn’t even his last name infiltrating Team Toretto is literally Officer O’Connor’s job. At first, it appears he’s authentically interested in becoming part of this family. Infiltrating such a tightly-knit team is no easy task, as Brian Spilner comes to learn when he attempts to get into Dom’s good graces. From the jump, the idea of forged family is front and center, with diesel-fueled Dom standing as the alpha member of a fiercely loyal wolf pack.
That’s a key takeaway in this first lap around the Fast and Furious franchise, and, from what I understand, a key theme permeating the rest of the series. I would have, too, and I’m only sorry that I’m just latching on now.īut it’s never too late to find a new family. It’s no wonder so many people latched onto this world. The Fast and the Furious has both qualities in spades, right from the jump. I digress.) I’m good with stupid, as long as there’s heart and soul to back it up.

(Pretty harsh assessment of Dom by the way, Sergeant Tanner, but I’ll let it slide because I know you are secretly Buffalo Bill and you have a pit in your basement where you make people put the lotion on the skin or else they get the hose again, and that’s not even mentioning your mangina. I’ve been told repeatedly how much I would love the Fast and Furious franchise, given my affinity toward big, loud movies that are dumber than a man with a gas tank for a brain. The good news is, 30-year-old me loves it, too.
Young, high-school-sophomore me would have loved The Fast and the Furious. At the very least, I could have known that the best Cuban joint in Los Angeles is Cha Cha Cha, or that Dom Toretto’s phone number is 32. I could have spent so much time wishing I was part of this extended family of beautiful, badass men and women. I could have spent years fantasizing about punching stupid Vince in his stupid face, or stupid Johnny Tran and his stupid cousin Lance. For one, it’s kind of awkward showing up fifteen years late to the party. It’s an interesting experience, sitting down to watch the first film in a world-renown mega-franchise that’s been going on for a decade and change. It’s only now that I’m realizing how much I’ve missed out on. Somehow, this franchise moved so fast that it whipped right past me entirely. Nor had I, or have I, seen any of the other six Furious movies that have earned Universal a combined $2.3 billion worldwide. I don’t even like tunafish, but if it’s Toretto brand, then I’m sure it was awesome.īut I wouldn’t have been surprised to hear such a harsh judgment of The Fast and the Furious as recently as two hours ago - because as of two hours ago, I had not seen The Fast and the Furious. The only way those words apply to the 2001 Paul Walker and Vin Diesel vehicle is if you’re discussing the crustless tunafish sandwiches that brought undercover cop Brian O’Connor to Toretto’s Market & Cafe every single day for three weeks straight - and even then, probably not. You could say those words about a lot of movies that came out at the turn of the century, but not The Fast and the Furious. “It was crappy yesterday, it was crappy the day before, and guess what? It hasn’t changed.” Throw it in reverse! This week, Digital Trends is revisiting every film in The Fast and The Furious franchise before its epic conclusion in Furious 7, in theaters Friday, April 3.
