Synopsis:

In this thrilling TV series, former cop Brian O'Conner and mastermind Dominic Toretto lead their elite team of car racers as fugitives after a successful heist in Rio. Pursued by federal agent Luke Hobbs, they take on one final job to gain their freedom, involving a corrupt businessman and a deadly gang of mercenaries. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, street racer Sean Boswell enters the dangerous world of drift racing and the Japanese Mafia. As the crew confronts vengeful foes and new challenges, they join forces with a government agent to rescue a kidnapped hacker and secure a powerful surveillance program. The series explores high-stakes heists, underground racing, and international intrigue, blending action and drama.

Intentions:

In 2023 I finally got around to watching Hobbs & Shaw, F9: The Fast Saga and Fast X. I already knew the timeline/continuity was terrible in this franchise and these movies just reinforced that thinking. I also found out my best friends had never seen any of the films and didn't want to start because the commitment was too overwhelming. So I decided to edit the franchise into a TV series that fixes the continuity and also makes it more palatable to new viewers.

Change List:

Custom title sequence for every episode. Episode 1: Fast Five Cut together some of the 1989 scenes from F9 as the season opening. Cut the recap of Fast & Furious and went straight to the news reports. Recolored some scenes to match better. A few minor trims. Cut after Mia announces she’s pregnant. Added the song “Turning Point” to the credits. Episode 2: Fast Five Cut when they start prepping for the heist. Added a similar song as what plays to the credits ([Trap] - Noisestorm - Heist [Monstercat Release]). Episode 3: Fast Five Cut after Dom and Hobbs fight. Added music that felt right to the credits (BEAST | Dark Badass Battle Music • by Supreme Devices). Episode 4: Fast Five Spliced in a shot of Dante from Fast X during the safe heist. Spliced in a shot of Dante from Fast X falling off the bridge. Color corrected multiple shots to match better including the Fast X scenes. Cut the mid credit scene. Episode 5: Fast & Furious 6 Used the Fast Five mid credit scene as the opener. Minor trims. Cut after Letty shoots Dom. Added music that flowed well into the credits (Music for When The Antagonist Prevails - With No Mercy). Episode 6: Fast & Furious 6 Cut after Roman shoots the harpoon at Dom. Added “My Life Be Like” by Grits to the credits. The song is from the Tokyo Drift soundtrack and I wanted to slowly transition people back to that era since the timeline is messed up. Episode 7: Fast & Furious 6 Cut a couple scenes. Cut after Dom saves Letty. Extended the song “I’m Here For You” into the credits. Episode 8: Fast & Furious 6 Trimmed a bit from the beginning. Cut the mid credit scene. Episode 9: The Fast & the Furious Tokyo Drift Cut, rearranged, and trimmed a lot to make it seam like time has past since we last saw Sean. Recut everything to make it seem like he is working instead of going to high school. Boosted audio. Added “Shinpainai ft. AKLO” by Hideyoshi to the credits. Episode 10: The Fast & the Furious Tokyo Drift Cut, rearranged, and trimmed a lot to make it seam like time has past since we last saw Sean. Recut everything to make it seem like he is working instead of going to high school. Boosted audio. Added “Fast & Furious 6: The Prodigy & The Glitch Mob - Breathe Remix” to the credits. Episode 11: Furious 7 Started with Furious 7. Cut out Furious 7’s opening credits. Reordered the beginning of Furious 7 to intercut better with the mid credit scene from Fast & Furious 6. Cut Furious 7 after Dom goes to Tokyo and Mia talks to Brian. Added in the remainder of Tokyo Drift. Recut the ending of Tokyo Drift with the same sequence from Furious 7. Minor color corrections to make all the cuts match. Minor audio corrections. Episode 12: Furious 7 Minor audio corrections. Cut before the desert. Extended “How Bad Do You Want It” by Sevyn Streeter into the credits. Episode 13: Furious 7 Minor audio corrections. Cut after the team arrives home.
