Random Fast And Furious Fan Theories That Are Just Crazy Enough To Be Tru (15 items)

  (#3) Brian Is Going To Be Killed Offscreen

  Even though the late Paul Walker's character Brian is still alive in the continuity of the series, he may not be for long. At the end of 2 Fast 2 Furious, Brian tells Roman (Tyrese Gibson) that the drug dealer they busted, Verone, is going come after them when gets out of prison.

  Reddit user tmacbusy believes that since Brian is offscreen, it would be easy to reintroduce Verone to the world of the Furious by having him exact his revenge on Brian. This would clear up the whole Paul Walker passing away thing, and they could reintroduce Mia to the films.

  (#10) Dom Toretto Is A Terminator

  It turns out the above video theory about Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto being a T-800 (or some other numbered cybernetic entity) is based in fact, sort of. Back in 2010, the rights to the Terminator franchise were up for sale and Universal was desperately trying to make a bid in order to cross-pollinate the series of movies about angry robots with their fast car property.

  Some people believe when that fell through, Universal and Fast and the Furious scribe Chris Morgan just decided to continue along with their dreams of electric Torettos by turning Dom into a robo-man and not telling anyone. What's the proof? Well, he has super strength, he doesn't seem to feel pain, he fights exactly like a T-800, and he never dies despite consistently being shot, thrown into walls, crashing head first into things, and having a nuclear submarine explode within his vicinity.

  (#5) Deckard Shaw Is Frank Martin From The Transporter

  Obviously, this theory got its start because Deckard and Frank are played by the same super tough bald Englishman, Jason Statham. But that's not the only thing these characters have in common.

  Redditor Connerws15's theory is that since they're both exceptionally talented in hand-to-hand combat, crazy driving, and looking smart in a suit, Deckard Shaw once worked under the code name "Frank Martin."

  (#9) The Fast And The Furious Takes Place In The Same Universe As Parks And Rec

  This might be a stretch, but it does kind of make sense. After busting Dom out of a prison convoy at the beginning of Fast Five, there's a collection of news footage helmed by Jay Jackson, the actor who plays Perd Hapley from Parks and Recreation.

  Some fans believe that Perd and the reporter are the same guy, and that the universes of P&R and F&F are one in the same. It's possible that Perd and this nameless reporter are just being played by the same person, but isn't it also possible that Parks & Rec takes place in the present day, while Fast Five takes place in a distant past before Perd moved to Pawnee and got terrible at his job? Redditor Nocut12 thinks that yes, it is entirely possible.

  (#1) The Absence Of Coronas In Fate Of The Furious Is A Nod To Paul Walker

  One of the biggest parts of the Fast and the Furious franchise (outside of the cars), is Dom drinking Coronas with the boys. Really, it's integral to the franchise. But Fate of the Furious, the eighth film in the series, manages to eschew the Coronas in lieu of Bud heavies.

  The conspicuous lack of Coronas in the final film, especially in the scene where the boys barbecue on a Brooklyn roof, is a nod to the fact that things have changed in the Furious-verse, and that the world of Dom and the gang is never going to be the same.

  (#11) Last Witch Hunter Is A Fast And The Furious Sequel

  On the surface this seems far-fetched, but once you start piecing together the facts it's obvious The Last Witch Hunter plays more like Fast and the Furious 73. In LWH, Vin Diesel's character, Kaulder, is 800 years old, he changes identities at the drop of a hat, he likes cars, and he even does some Tokyo Drifting at the end of the film.

  The film's director, Breck Eisner, told the Huffington Post the shot of Kaulder speeding off at the end was a nod to Fast and the Furious, saying, “Of course, we all recognize that Vin is clearly associated with Dom, and let’s please acknowledge that.” He continued by recognizing that even though he hadn't thought of the film as a sequel, it was a cool idea. “I do like that. The idea of immortality. Dom is clearly immortal. I mean those [Fast and the Furious] guys don’t die. They’re superheroes now.”
