Crossing the line movie car chases 2 Fast 2 Furious

There’s no shortage of quality car chases in Fast & Furious movies.

John Singleton took over the directors chair, but there was no let up in the automotive action.

Released in 2001, the firstFast & The Furiouswas an odd creation.

Its street racing premise was taken from a magazine article.

Its title was taken from an old Roger Corman movie.

To a cheering crowd, the four cars roar off the starting line in a neon blur.

Ah yes, bends.

Tej cackles to the crowd, Told yall I had a surprise.

Bridge, says Brian, bringing all his descriptive powers to bear on this deadly situation.

The world whips by in a mesmerising blur of colour, and the car crackles with magical energy.

Suki decides to go for the jump, and demolishes her car in the process.

But as this likeably silly scene from the second film demonstrates, that doesnt mean it isnt ludicrously entertaining.
