Fast & Furious order: This is how you watch the action films with Vin Diesel in the correct chronological order

In 2001, fans were able to enjoy the first “Fast & Furious” film. Hardly anyone would have thought that a relatively small car racing film would become one of the biggest franchises of all time: the “Fast & Furious” saga!

The film series with Vin Diesel is set to end soon, but at least three more films await us before then. There are currently ten films in the “Fast” saga, two more parts and a spin-off have already been confirmed. In addition to the main saga, there are also a series of “Fast & Furious” short films and the animated series “Fast & Furious: Spy Racers”.

With a film series released out of chronological order, spin-offs, short films, and an animated series, there could be some confusion in sorting all the Fast films into a proper order. Netzwelt provides help and tells you how to watch all previous and future parts in the correct chronological order.

Overview 1: All Fast films by release date

From The Fast and the Furious (Part 1) to Fast & Furious 8 (Part 8, original “The Fate of the Furious”) a total of eight films from the Fast series were put into production and shown on international screens at intervals of two to three years. The 9th film took a long time to arrive, which was partly due to “Hobbs & Shaw” and partly due to the corona pandemic. Now we can expect a new film every two years.

The most obvious way to view the film series is to watch them in the order in which they were released. Since it’s mostly about self-contained missions that the main characters around Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) have to complete, some people will hardly notice that the third part Tokyo Drift the content is a little out of line.

If you decide to view the films after their release, you can expect this order, which you are now familiar with Busy 23 hours are:

• The Fast and the Furious (2001)
• 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
• The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
