Bombastic action and star power: The Fast & Furious franchise is coming to Amazon Prime
At the beginning of the Fast & Furious series it was mainly about illegal car racing and the undercover investigator Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker). And even though Vin Diesel appeared as Dominic “Dom” Toretto in The Fast and The Furious, he sat out 2 Fast 2 Furious and only appeared in a cameo in Tokyo Drift.
With the fourth part he returned to the main cast together with Michelle Rodriguez. Since then, street racing has increasingly faded into the background and the films have developed more into heist and spy films.
The change was apparently just right, because the series became more and more successful. This is also due to the support of numerous other stars who have now joined the cast. Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Charlize Theron and Jason Momoa, among others, have also appeared in sequels and spin-offs.

Fast & Furious on Amazon Prime: Bombastic action that is second to none
Although the films are no longer about street racing, the makers are always finding new ways to showcase the cars spectacularly. Be it jumping from one skyscraper to the next (Fast & Furious 7) or shooting cars at a space satellite (Fast & Furious 9), the stunts are breathtaking.
The action is not only well received by the general public, but also by other filmmakers. That’s how it feels fresh award-winning Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer) himself came out as a fan of the series.
Nolan even revealed his favorite title: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. He didn’t reveal whether he would direct a Fast & Furious part himself. However, some fans might like the idea.
