Summary

The allure of The Fast and the Furious world is simple: the cars are the stars. In all three of the movies, sexy up-and-coming actors are paired with radical sport compacts and pavement-twisting, old-school muscle cars. Add in locations rife with street racing action, from the boulevards of Miami to the twisty canyon roads near Tokyo, and you have a formula for high-revving action movies guaranteed to start your engine.
