TBT: Fast and Furious Original Cast
Throwback Thursday we decided to post the classic photo of the original cast of The Fast and Furious which started a movie franchise phenomenon!
Who knew that the film was going to make superstars out of Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster.
The film centered around Los Angeles police officer Brian O’Connor must decide where his loyalties really lie when he becomes enamored with the street racing world he has been sent undercover to destroy. Since then it has grown into one of the largest franchise and high action films of our decade.
Original synopsis:
They’ve got the adrenaline rush and the mean machines, but most of all, they’ve got the extreme need for speed. On the turbo-charged streets of Los Angeles, every night is a championship race. With nitro-boosted fury, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), rules the road turning all his challengers into dust. He and his rival, Johnny Tran (Rick Yune) are the boldest, the baddest and the best. But now, there’s new rage on the road. They know he’s tough, they know he’s fast, but what they don’t know is that he’s a speed demon detective (Paul Walker) with enough drive and determination to come out the winner. With intense full-throttle action, awesome high-speed stunts, and full-on pedal to the metal intensity, this fast and furious assault puts you in the driver’s seat and dares you to exceed all limits.
Unfortunately in 2013 we lost Paul Walker in a fatal car accident, but the production of the film has gone under many changes to complete part seven so Walker’s character can live on immortally in the films storyline.
Here is the trailer that started it all:
