Since 2001, people have been captivated by “The Fast and the Furious” films. Almost 20 years later, we're still waiting for the next films. Here are some of the reasons why I think the franchise is still gaining fans all over the world:
The diverse cast
While Dominic Toretto has always been the ringleader of the team, we can't help but root for Brian, Giselle, Han, Roman, Tej, and all the new additions to the squad. The ragtag team of anti-heroes and their adventures all over the world has exposed us to different cultures as well. The diverse cast shows us that different types of people can be represented in one film. For a movie that started in the early 2000s, the FF series paved the way for diversity on film.

The nice cars
I'm not that much of a car geek but every time there's a scene where the characters pick their cars, I can't help but watch with jaws dropped. The vehicles are unbelievably beautiful, luxurious, and fast. Seeing our heroes drive through cities and terrains with these vehicles is exciting enough for me. My favorites are Brian's Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, the W Motors Lykan Hypersport that passed through skyscrapers, and Roman's bright orange Lamborghini Murcielago.
The unbelievable plot
Another thing that I love about the franchise is that every movie is fast and action-packed. Sometimes the scenes could seem ridiculous, but that's what why we're watching. We want our heroes to jump from planes, drive their luxury cars through military tanks and live through the whole experience. Adding The Rock and Jason Statham to the team guarantees more out-of-this-world action sequences.
