This crucial change ahead of FastX finally changed the direction of the FastAndFurious saga.
At the beginning of the 21st century, it would have been odd to suggest that The Fast and the Furious saga would still be kicking around after 20 years. Somehow, the franchise that started off as nothing but a lazy remake of Point Break ended up creating one of the biggest and most ridiculous fictional universes in existence.
The series showed that it could deliver great racing scenes, but there was simply no reason to stay invested when the stakes were never anything greater than a medal; it was the interpersonal drama between the characters that seemed to give the series so much goodwill. The only way to test Dom, Brian, and the crew that started to become a “family” was to put them at greater risk of danger with the potential to be actual heroes.
How Did 'Fast Five' Change the Franchise's Direction? While Fast & Furious suffered from the heavy amounts of computer-generated imagery, Fast Five featured an actual stunt team that could piece together more inventive action sequences. The film starts with a boost of energy that basically introduces Dom as a superhero; Brian and his sister Mia break him out of a bus in order to prevent him from being sent to prison.
