[edit] Introduction

The Fast and the Furious was the first film in a (thus far) three film franchise of the same name. The movie came out in 2001 and developed a devoted if small following for not only its obvious love for well-modified street cars as its action packed "good" bad guy/undercover cop story involving about street racing and the close relationships formed within the teams/gangs. The two follow up films are 2Fast/2Furious released in 2003 and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift released in 2006.
