I love the Fast & Furious franchise, and I can still clearly remember nearly blowing up my four-cylinder Dodge Shadow while driving home after watching The Fast and the Furious in 2001 (it wasn’t a 10-second car). Ever since that slightly fast & furious night in which I watched some Corona loving street racers attempt to steal DVD players, I’ve enjoyed watching the franchise evolve into a globe-trotting blockbuster series that’s grossed billions at the worldwide box office.In honor of Fast 9’s original release date (May 22, 2020), I decided to see which Fast movie is the most Fast & Furious. Basically, I wanted to know which of the Fast films has the most races, fights, NOS, corona, BBQ, property destruction, gratuitous party shots, and mentions of family. I rewatched the movies and recorded a ludicrous amount of stats, and used insanely detailed articles from Bloomberg (excellent resource - whoever did this is excellent - stats hold up when I rewatched the films and compared data) and Insure the Gap to create 23 categories.Racing timeNOS usageIs there a BBQ? – Fun article about why the Furious 6 BBQ is the bestWhich finale has the fastest ending?Best Fight - This may sound crazy, but I love in Fast and Furious 6 when Han and Roman fight Jah (Joe Taslim). They get destroyed and are covered in sweat afterwards. It's a nice contrast to the rest of the brawls. Also, I like the Letty vs. Riley (Gina Carano) fight that happens at the same time.Engine Revving TimeTime spent talking about carsTime spent where cars are worked onGear shiftsTachometer/speedometer shotsExplosionsTime a gun is wieldedHand-to-hand combat timeTime spent riding outside of vehiclesTime spent at social gatheringsMale biceps timeGratuitous party shot timeHugsMentions of Family and TeamRoll ups with teamCorona consumptionProperty destructionDoes a main character die?I ranked each of the nine installments (1-9) according to where they placed in each category. Or, I gave them a one or a zero for Yes/No questions (Is there a BBQ?). The film that’s the most Fast & Furious has the least amount of points. How did I add up the points? Fast & Furious 6 has 22 mentions of “Family” and “Team,” so it got 1 point. 2 Fast 2 Furious only has one mention of “Team,” so it received 9 points.Here’s a couple more examples – The Fate of the Furious features billions of dollars of property damage (Nuclear submarine, thousands of cars, that massive facility that’s blown up in the beginning) so it got 1 point. The Fast & the Furious (2001) features a few destroyed cars and some property damage, so it got 9 points.Tokyo Drift has over 15 minutes of racing so it gets 1 point. Hobbs and Shaw has no “official” race, so it received 9 points.Here are the results.Fast & Furious 6 – 80 pointsFurious 7 – 86 points2 Fast 2 Furious – 87 pointsThe Fast and the Furious – 93 pointsFast Five – 98 pointsFast and Furious – 101 pointsThe Fate of the Furious – 105 pointsFast and Furious: Tokyo Drift – 112 pointsFast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw – 129 points.Here's the breakdownWhy is Fast & Furious 6 the most fast and furious? It never placed last in any category, and it tied 2 Fast 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift with four #1 spots. The film’s numbers remained consistent throughout the categories and won quite easily. I’ve included some videos to show you why it’s the most fast and furious of the franchise.Family is said 11 times (start at :30 seconds)There is a BBQ that features CoronaThe beginning of the film features Brian and Dom racing to the hospital where Mia is giving birth. Racing AND familyDom and Letty raceIt features the best fight in the franchise. I love when Tyrese and Sung Kang battle Joe Taslim, AND Michelle Rodriguez fights Gina CaranoThe ending is insane. The cars drive very fast while chasing an airplane on an insanely long runway. They also say “Ride or Die.”There are massive explosionsThe crew chase a tank on a highway and Dom saves Letty by crashing his car and catching her in the airDom and Hobbs work togetherTej and Hobbs buy sweet carsRoman and Brian have a great bro-mance (3:00 in clip)Brian beats the crap out of Braga and some prisoners (furious fight)Dom works on an engineThere’s a classic team meetingDom gets shot, then completely forgets about it.Grappling hooks are aided by NOS (grappling hooks are used a lot in franchise).Roman is always hungryThere you have it! Fast and Furious 6 is the most fast and furious film of the franchise. It features street races, corona, BBQ, family, planes blowing up, grappling hooks, fist fights and everything that makes a Fast movie great.If you like this random post, make sure to check out my other random data on Reddit.Movies featuring snowmobile action scenes are way cooler than movies featuring jet ski action scenesAnalyzing the unnecessarily large trap in PredatorsHow old is MacGruber?How long did it take The Joker's henchmen to build the cash pyramid in The Dark Knight?Brad Pitt eating and box office numbersJCVD and his splitsHow Far Did the Shark Travel in Jaws: The Revenge?Matthew McConaughey's massive jump in Reign of FireHow Far Does the Creature From It Follows Travel?People love a bearded Kurt RussellTracking the Merman's Murderous JourneyMichael Myers road trip in Halloween H20Stellan Skarsgard's journey in Deep Blue Sea was gnarlyHow Fast Can Leatherface Run?Jet Ski Action Scenes Are the WorstA Breakdown of the Events Leading Up to Sam Jackson's Demise in Deep Blue SeaThe Fast & Furious & CoronaHow Did the Geologist Get Lost in Prometheus?How Long Does it Take Horror Villains to Travel From NYC to San Francisco?Michael Myers Hates Using His Turn SignalCan Jason Voorhees teleport?How Long Did the Joker Need to Setup the Weapon Circle in Suicide Squad?How Much Time Did Batman Need to Setup the Bat Fire Symbol in The Dark Knight Rises?How Much Sand Did Elektra's Sandbag Trainer in Daredevil (2003) Require?Breaking down The Mariner vs. Sea Eater battle in WaterworldAnalyzing the Posters for Nicholas Sparks' Book AdaptationsHow far Did Nic Cage Run Around in a Bear Suit in The Wicker Man Remake?How Many Bullets Missed John Matrix in Commando?How Much Blood Poured Out of the Sprinklers During the "Blood Rave" in Blade?Michael Myers Loves Doing LaundryDolph Lundgren and His Front KicksHow Many Calories Did Shaggy and Scooby Doo Ingest When They Ate the Cotton Candy Glob? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3bS4HEQ
