Fast and Furious movies to re-release on OTT. When and where to stream the seven titles
Synopsis Get ready for a high-octane binge! Seven Fast & Furious films are racing onto Netflix on August 16th. Relive the iconic moments, from street racing roots to gravity-defying stunts, with titles like The Fast and the Furious, Fast Five, and Hobbs & Shaw. It's the perfect way to catch up before Fast 11 hits the theatres. When and where to stream Fast and Furious movies. Fast cars, daring heists, and gravity-defying stunts — the Fast & Furious franchise has been thrilling audiences for over two decades. Now, fans have a new reason to buckle up. In just a few days, seven films from the adrenaline-pumping saga will roar back onto Netflix, offering the perfect excuse for a high-octane binge. Whether you've been following Dominic Toretto's family since 2001 or you're just catching up, this streaming drop will cover some of the franchise's most iconic moments. August 16 will be a landmark day for Fast & Furious fans. Netflix is set to add seven titles from the blockbuster series, starting from its street-racing roots to some of its most outrageous, over-the-top action sequences. The line-up includes the first three movies — The Fast and the Furious (2001), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), and Tokyo Drift (2006) — as well as Fast Five (2011), Fast & Furious 6 (2013), Furious 7 (2015), and the spinoff Hobbs & Shaw (2019). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix US (@netflix) This means fans can relive everything from undercover cop drama to Rio rooftop chases, from drifting in Tokyo's neon streets to watching cars literally parachute out of planes. While the newer instalments — The Fate of the Furious, F9, and Fast X — won't be part of the drop, this batch covers the series' biggest turning points, including the shift from street racing to globe-trotting spy-heist action. Since Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker first hit the streets in 2001, the franchise has exploded into one of the biggest in film history. Alongside Diesel, it has featured an ever-growing roster of stars — Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Gal Gadot, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, Jason Momoa, and more. With Fast 11 already in the works, this Netflix release is the perfect pit stop for anyone wanting to revisit the ride so far.

7 Movie Car Crashes That Would Cost Millions In Real Life
Blockbuster destruction meets real-life price tags We all love a good car chase—the screeching tires, the slow-motion flips, the metal-on-metal mayhem that leaves highways in flames and villains airborne. But beyond the popcorn thrills, those cinematic wrecks would leave behind mangled vehicles, injured bystanders, and sky-high repair bills in the real world. What if those wild scenes weren't happening in Gotham or Rio, but in real traffic, with real people behind the wheel? Here are 7 of the most unforgettable movie car crashes—and what they'd actually cost if they happened outside the movie screen. 1. The Joker's Semi-Flip – The Dark Knight (2008) Scene: During a nighttime chase through downtown Gotham, Batman uses a cable to trip a massive 18-wheeler. The semi flips vertically and crashes roof-first onto the street, crushing pavement and sending shockwaves through nearby buildings. Estimated Damages: $300,000+ for vehicle damage $1M+ in road and property repairs Collateral injuries to civilians and responders Reality check: If this happened on a real street, there'd be lawsuits flying in every direction. No insurance would cover a stunt like that, and the victims would be stuck going after whoever caused the chaos for everything from PTSD to car repairs. 2. Safe Drag Chase – Fast Five (2011) Scene: In broad daylight, Dom and Brian chain a giant bank vault to two Dodge Chargers and rip it through the streets of Rio. The safe smashes through cars, buildings, streetlights, and even a bank lobby—like a wrecking ball on wheels. Estimated Damages: $5M+ in structural and civilian vehicle destruction Dozens of public property claims Risk of fatal injuries to bystanders Reality check: No way this wouldn't land someone in court. Anyone hit would likely file injury claims, and if that vault was tied to any business, commercial insurance would be dragged into the mess. 3. Highway Pile-Up – Final Destination 2 (2003) Scene: A logging truck loses its load on a busy highway, sending massive tree trunks bouncing through traffic. Vehicles swerve, flip, and explode in a chain-reaction disaster. It's one of the most realistic crash sequences ever put on film. Estimated Damages: $2M+ in damage and injury claims Several fatalities Dozens of long-term injuries Reality check: In the real world, that trucking company would be in deep trouble. Victims and their families would be lining up with lawsuits—and probably win big, too. However, also, in real life, in crashes like this, sometimes the driver who caused it doesn't have enough insurance, or any at all. That's where uninsured motorist coverage (UM) comes in. In states like Florida, Georgia, and Texas, UM coverage isn't mandatory, but it's a lifesaver when the at-fault driver disappears or can't pay. If you don't have it, you could be stuck covering your own medical bills and car repairs, even when the wreck wasn't your fault. 'Mission: Impossible' - The Final Ranking 4. Tank Rampage – Fast & Furious 6 (2013) Scene: A full-on tank rolls out on a Spanish freeway, crushing civilian vehicles under its treads like soda cans. It plows through lanes of traffic, explodes cop cars, and nearly sends characters flying off a bridge. Estimated Damages: $10M+ in infrastructure and vehicle loss Dozens of injuries, likely some fatalities Emergency services mobilized at scale Reality check: If someone pulled this off in real life, we're talking a state of emergency. Victims wouldn't just need lawyers—they'd need trauma counselors and serious compensation. 5. Limo Flip – Deadpool (2016) Scene: Deadpool leaps into a speeding limo packed with henchmen, leading to a mid-bridge brawl. The limo crashes, flips, and slides into multiple cars while Deadpool poses coolly on the overpass edge. Estimated Damages: $250K+ in luxury vehicle and traffic disruption Dozens of injuries from debris and secondary crashes Bridge structural inspections required Reality check: In the real world, someone would definitely be suing the limo company—and probably Deadpool too, if he wasn't, you know, technically unkillable. 6. Bus Jump – Speed (1994) Scene: A public transit bus must maintain 50 mph or explode. When it reaches a freeway under construction, the driver floors it—launching the bus over a massive gap and somehow sticking the landing. Estimated Damages: $500K+ in road damage and emergency response Passenger trauma and whiplash Major liability for city transit agency Reality check: Yeah… no one's walking away from that without calling a lawyer. Passengers would be well within their rights to sue the city for putting them through that insanity. 7. The Freeway Chase – The Matrix Reloaded (2003) Scene: Trinity and Morpheus speed against traffic on a bustling freeway while SUVs, trucks, and squad cars crash, flip, and explode around them. The scene ends with an 18-wheeler sandwiching another vehicle in midair. Estimated Damages: $4M+ in multi-vehicle and infrastructure damage Dozens of injury claims Complete shutdown of a major freeway Reality check: This is the kind of wreck that would take months to untangle. Good luck to anyone trying to figure out who was at fault—and don't even think about handling that without a lawyer. 🎬 Final Take Movie crashes make for edge-of-your-seat cinema, but in real life, they're disasters—physically, emotionally, and financially. If you're ever in a real-world crash (hopefully without a vault or tank involved), the legal system matters more than the action sequence.

Create Account Diesel (who plays Dominic Toretto in the films) broke the news alongside co-star Tyrese Gibson and Walker's brother Cody at Fuel Fest in Pomona, Calif., over the weekend. 'The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of Fast and Furious (in) April 2027?'' Diesel said during a surprise appearance. 'I said, 'Under three conditions' … because I've been listening to my fan base. I've been listening to all of you, who have been asking for three things. The first, is to bring the franchise back to L.A.! The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing! You wanna know what the third thing was? … The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Conner.'' As the audience broke out into cheers, Diesel ended his message, saying, 'That is what you're gonna get in the finale!' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Walker's cop-turned-street racer character was written out of the series after the actor died while in the midst of shooting Furious 7 back in 2013. His brothers completed work on the film with the help of digital technology and stunt doubles. At the end of that film, Brian and Dom take one last drive with the characters coming to a fork in the road and going their separate ways. While the rest of the Fast gang has continued to participate in worldwide heists in a bid to stop global terrorists, Brian remains in hiding, raising his and Mia's (Jordana Brewster) children. Previously, Chris Morgan, one of the key architects of the Fast & Furious franchise ever since the third instalment, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift , told Postmedia that Walker's character could return in future movies. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. ' There are no rules. Brian exists in our world and he'll always live in our world.' Morgan said back in 2017. 'There was a moment when we were doing Furious 7 after Paul had died and a lot of people were theorizing that maybe we should kill off that character. I took a really hard line with that. For me, there was no way I would ever write Brian O'Conner out of our universe. Our franchise is a very hopeful one. It's a very loving one. It's a very family one. I love, as a fan, knowing that Brian and Mia and their kids are out there and they are happy. I would never want to mess with that. As for what happens with that down the road, we've been thinking a lot about where the stories go and how we deal with them.' Paul Walker attends the world premiere of 'Fast and Furious 6' at Empire Leicester Square on May 7, 2013 in London. Photo by Getty Images The series' 10th entry, 2023's Fast X , introduced Jason Momoa's Dante Reyes, who was looking to exact revenge on Dom and his crew for his father's death in Fast Five .

With Fast X billed as the first of a two-part finale, Momoa teased that ' lots of chaos' is in store for fans of the franchise. ' Some evil s*** is going to happen,' he told Postmedia in a 2024 interview. 'There's more coming.' Meanwhile, Fast X director Louis Leterrier promised Entertainment Weekly back in 2023 that the finale will be 'a sad one.' 'Y ou're going to cry. There are some tears in your future, let me tell you,' he said. mdaniell@ Read More Canada Toronto Maple Leafs Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Relationships

Rotten Tomatoes ranks all Fast and Furious films with number 1 'one of the greats'
Fast and Furious is a franchise that has spanned two decades, with 11 movies to its name. But which one is the best, according to Rotten Tomatoes? The Fast and Furious franchise is a powerhouse in its own league, boasting an impressive 11 films over two decades and a massive fan following. Since its explosive debut in 2001, the series has attracted considerable attention and sparked endless debates about which instalment reigns supreme. Now, thanks to viewer votes, Rotten Tomatoes has ranked the films based on real-life reviews. Using their Tomatometer, the website arranged the films from highest-rated to lowest-rated, and some fans might be surprised by the top five entries. However, it's no shock that Fast and Furious 7 clinched the top spot with an 82% rating. This film marked a turning point for the franchise, following the tragic death of cast member Paul Walker. roduction began in September 2013 but was halted when Walker sadly died in a car accident, and the film is dedicated to his memory. When filming resumed, Walker's brothers stepped in to finish any remaining scenes, and the film was eventually released in 2015, featuring the poignant song See You Again as its soundtrack. Upon release, it was a box office sensation and became the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time, reports the Mirror US. A viewer penned a glowing five-star review, stating: "Definitely one of the strongest films in the franchise and, in my opinion, the best, this film has an incredible amount of action balanced out perfectly with the level of emotion and love put into this film by all involved and the fan base itself after the passing of the amazing Paul Walker." They continued to heap praise on the movie: "This film will go down in history as one of the greats with perhaps the most heartwarming ending ever to a film that will bring anyone to tears who knows the full meaning behind the scene." Claiming the second spot on the list is the gripping 2011 action thriller Fast Five, with Fast and Furious 6 not far behind in third place. Both instalments feature a beloved cast that packs a punch, starring household names like Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, and Eva Mendes, ensuring a cinematic experience packed with top-notch talent. The less favourable end of the list is occupied by the 2009 flick Fast and Furious, known as the fourth entry in the saga. In this film, viewers follow Dominic Toretto, played by Diesel, joining forces with FBI agent Brian O'Conner, portrayed by Walker, as they seek vengeance against a drug lord following the savage murder of Toretto's partner. Before you get to the end of the list, in fourth place is Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw, followed by The Fate of the Furious, F9 The Fast Saga, and the original film that kicked off the franchise, The Fast and the Furious, which holds the seventh spot.
