Watching otherwise may erase those thrills, or, even worse, give you a reveal that at the time makes little to no sense. Just like with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, and even the Fox X-Men movies, watching these movies in the order in which they were released allows you to have certain shocking reveals that change everything in the way they were intended theatrically. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)īut we recommend sticking with release date-the order in which every Fast and Furious movie came out in theaters.Įven though the Fast and Furious movies mess around with the over-arching timeline quite a bit (mainly, we think, as a way to keep fan-favorite, chip-snacking speedster Han (Sung Kang) in the mix), we are always going to recommend watching the movies in the order in which they were released as opposed to the chronological timeline order.If you want to watch the Fast and Furious movies in their chronological timeline order, this is your best bet:


We do not recommend this, especially not for newcomers. Some people like to watch these movies in the chronological timeline order of the movies' events. If you're going to watch all of the movies, we recommend watching them one way and one way only: the order in which they were released.īut for whatever reason, that's not for everyone. If you're new to the Furious-verse and looking to firmly entrench yourself in the family, well, you're in for a great time (and don't be surprised if you find yourself craving a Corona very soon). Yes, yes, far too complicated for movies that we're mostly watching for mind-blowing action, car chases, and Vin Diesel being a quasi-superhero. Get it?) ? It's definitely very confusing.Īnd on top of that, the movies end up getting into some timeline trickery, where later movies take place prior to earlier movies. How is someone supposed to know that The Fast and the Furious is the first movie, but Fast & Furious is the fourth, and The Fate of the Furious is the eighth ( F8. Some of the titles are admittedly confusing. And if you're new to the whole Fast and Furious deal, it might be a bit confusing to jump right into.īut it shouldn't be. WHETHER YOU'RE a Fast and Furious veteran or a newcomer to the series (more on that in a little), what you're really coming for, all things considered, is the utterly out-of-control action and thrills, right? Some of the movies in the Fast and Furious-verse are better than others, but whether they're early films in the series centered on underground street racing, or the later movies, which are.uh, basically about superhero spy heists and stuff, you're coming for the thrills.
