It’s here, folks. We are finally able to see the finale of the “Fast & Furious” franchise with the new film, “Fast X.” Well, okay, not the true finale. This is just Part 1 of what is scheduled to be a two-part finale, but it might actually get extended to three parts if Vin Diesel has his way. So, really, “Fast X” is part one of a final trilogy of films. And to celebrate, The Playlist Podcast is going to rank every film in the completely ludicrous (no pun intended) action film franchise.
Now, fans of the franchise may think that the ranking of the “Fast & Furious” franchise would be simple because these films just keep getting bigger and better with each new entry. But that is most definitely not the case. Like any other franchise, there are highs and lows. Is “Fast Five” the clear #1? How terrible is “2 Fast 2 Furious?” And is the original “The Fast & The Furious” anything more than a dumb ripoff of the classic “Point Break?”
