Among other things, the recordings are supposed to be held in Angelino Heights, a historic area in downtown Los Angeles. The residents there now claim that the area has become a tourist attraction for street racing – because the adrenaline-pumping films are precisely about cars traveling at high speeds on the city’s streets.
— There were no races before ‘Fast and furious’ started filming on these streets, says Damian Kevitt, resident of the area and founder of the organization ‘Streets are for everyone’.
According to the residents, every night they hear loud cars on the streets and some children no longer dare to play outside after seeing cars that have lost control.
The first “Fast and furious” film premiered in 2001 and there will be both a tenth and an eleventh part – but then the film series has reached the finish line.
