When Furious 7 made landfall, Charlize Theron’s inexplicable mini-locs and the nuclear submarine exploding through an ice shelf set the stage for the saga’s eventual trip to space with a new kind of silly extravagance. When Fast Five arrived, it leveled up the scale of heisting in this franchise exponentially. So pick your import or your American muscle, and let’s ride off into the sunset together. After watching all 11 ultra-jacked films (and taking into consideration things like critical reception, box-office performance, significance to the franchise, heartstrings pulled, lessons imparted, etc.), we’ve created this ranking of Fast and Furious movies. Audiences have seen a car in space now, so what could possibly happen next? The answer to that in the latest installment, Fast X, is: anything and everything. ![]() Fast X finds us 22 years after that first fateful competition for pink slips in east L.A., and while the Family remains the same, the scope of the franchise could not be more different. And yet, as surely as a well-timed NOS injection will propel a vehicle across the finish line on a quarter-mile racetrack, that is exactly what happened.
