How to watch the Fast and Furious movies: chronological timeline order<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Although most of the Fast films follow on from each other, there is one standout exception: you guessed it, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.<\/p>\n
Although it was the third Fast film to be released in cinemas, Tokyo Drift is actually set between Fast & Furious 6 and Furious 7. Swerving away from the story of Brian and Dom, the film follows a completely new set of characters led by Sean Boswell (Lucas Black), a student forced to move to Japan to avoid jail time.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the movies in chronological order<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
- The Fast and the Furious (2001)<\/li>\n
- 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)<\/li>\n
- Fast & Furious (2009)<\/li>\n
- Fast Five (2011)<\/li>\n
- Fast & Furious 6 (2013)<\/li>\n
- The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)<\/li>\n
- Furious 7 (2015)<\/li>\n
- The Fate of the Furious (2017)<\/li>\n
- Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)<\/li>\n
- F9 (2021)<\/li>\n<\/ol>
Tokyo Drift also marks the first appearance of Han Lue, a fan favourite who (SPOILER ALERT) appeared to be killed in a chase near the end of the film.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Universal decided Han was so popular he would be resurrected with a clever workaround: all subsequent Fast films would be set before<\/em> Toyko Drift.<\/p>\n
This meant Han was able to return alive and well in Fast & Furious, the next film in the franchise.<\/p>\n

Just to make things even more complicated, the Fast and Furious franchise also features several high-speed prequels, sequels and midquels. Most of these shorts were created for DVD releases of the original movies, shining light on unknown areas of the high-speed saga\u2019s timeline.<\/p>\n
First released on the DVD of 2 Fast 2 Furious (the next film on this list), the short film Turbo-Charged Prelude shows exactly how Brian (Paul Walker) went from being an LAPD cop to criminal. The reason is the one you\u2019d expect: after assisting Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) evade law enforcement, Brian himself becomes a wanted man.<\/p>\n
Los Bandoleros, the next short film, focuses on Dom and was served up to fans via a DVD bonus feature. No, it doesn\u2019t explain how Brian became a fully-fledged FBI agent by the next film but does introduce audiences to Han (Sung Kang), Rico (Don Omar) and Tego (Tego Calderon). Including all of these mini-movies, the Fast and Furious timeline looks like this:<\/p>\n
- The Fast and the Furious<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Turbo-Charged Prelude<\/strong><\/li>\n
- 2 Fast 2 Furious<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Los Bandoleros<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Fast & Furious<\/strong><\/li>\n

How to watch the Fast and Furious movies: release order<\/strong><\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re new to the Fast and Furious, sticking to the simplest route may be the best. After all, most of the movies follow a chronological order, with only really the third instalment in the franchise, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), causing some confusing pile-ups in the timeline as discussed.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how you watch Fast & Furious movies in order of release:<\/p>\n
- The Fast and the Furious<\/strong> (2001)<\/li>\n
- 2 Fast 2 Furious<\/strong> (2003)<\/li>\n
- The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift<\/strong> (2006)<\/li>\n
- Fast & Furious<\/strong> (2009)<\/li>\n
- Fast Five<\/strong> (2011)<\/li>\n
- Fast & Furious 6<\/strong> (2013)<\/li>\n
- Furious 7 (<\/strong>2015)<\/li>\n

Where to watch: Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
2 Fast 2 Furious doesn\u2019t feature Vin Diesel, but it does star Walker and follows on from the events of The Fast and the Furious. This one introduces Ludacris as Tej and Tyrese Gibson as Roman, who went on to become two main characters.<\/p>\n
Where to watch: Amazon\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
This is where things take a turn. This one was seen as a \u2018reboot\u2019 of sorts for the whole franchise. There was no Paul Walker or Diesel\u2026 or Ludacris, or Michelle Rodriguez, or Gibson. Basically no core characters here. The movie was set in Japan and featured Han (Sung Kang). Luckily, fans took to Han, but the movie did confuse the timeline somewhat.<\/p>\n
Where to watch: Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
Fast & Furious (2009)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Not to be confused with the first film in the franchise (these titles are confusing!) this one comes fourth. Set after 2 Fast 2 Furious, we ignore The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift for now.<\/p>\n
Where to watch: Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
Fast Five (2011)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The Rock first appears in Fast Five as Luke Hobbs, and we finally see Ludacris and Tyrese return to the franchise. Sung Kang also appears as Han \u2013 and Gal Gadot pops up too.\u00a0 The movies start ramping up and steering into the ridiculousness here.<\/p>\n
Where to watch: Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
Fast & Furious 6 (2013)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
We have a new villain introduced, or a whole villain family with Luke Evans starring as Owen Shaw. We also have a post-credits scene to introduce Jason Statham\u2019s character Deckard Shaw, who appears to kill Han in a scene first glimpsed in Tokyo Drift. Now we\u2019ve caught up \u2013 phew.<\/p>\n
Where to watch: Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
Fast & Furious 7 (2015)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The team reunite for this one that sees us say goodbye to Paul Walker. Statham is back after that credits scene for his first proper starring role in the FF franchise which saw him clash with Diesel and The Rock.<\/p>\n

Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw (2019)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
A little detour here, as it\u2019s not really part of the core franchise, but a spin-off. The Rock and Statham return to team up against Idris Elba\u2019s super-soldier. Shaw transitions from villain to hero. Vanessa Kirby also stars as Statham\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n

In the most recent instalment of The Fast Saga, Dominic and Letty find their retirement interrupted as a dangerous new threat emerges: Dom\u2019s younger brother, Jakob Toretto, played by John Cena.<\/p>\n
Dwayne Johnson is absent from this film, but we do get the return of Charlize Theron as Cipher and Helen Mirren as Queenie Shaw.<\/p>\n
