The best work in the series

If you watch the fifth part all the way from the first part, there will be a strong feeling of seeing the level of this series gradually rise, and the fifth part can be said to be a superior work, I think it is in the following aspects-

The rise of the camp setting of the enemy and the enemy: First of all, each movie can be divided into three camps, the male protagonist, the police force, and the evil forces. The first one used the male protagonist and the police force vs. the evil forces, the latter used the motorcycle party to make a blind eye, so the essence is still 1vs1. In the second part, the male protagonist plus the police force vs the evil forces. The latter added the local police in Los Angeles. In the end, the male protagonist put aside the police force behind him and played a lot of 1vs. I won't talk about the third part, and I still can't figure out the meaning of the appearance of the underworld boss. The fourth part uses the male protagonist and the police force to fight against the evil forces. The former adds Dom, and the latter is a Mexican drug lord. Because the focus is on the relationship between Brain and Dom, the essence is still 1vs1. The fifth part, in the setting of the enemy and our camp, fully embodies "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", which was not found in the previous parts. The first is the male protagonist team vs FBI vs Rio drug lord, and seeing the tragic death of his teammates and angered Dwayne Johnson burst out, count me, that moment was really exciting!

The rise of the racing chase scene: It was very exciting to grab the train at the beginning, and the parkour chase on the roof of the private house can actually be regarded as half of speed and passion. Slip the safe! I didn't even expect that the safe could be used as a thunderbolt meteor hammer! Can this be played? Shocked! Hahaha! Compared with discussing its physical feasibility, it is still admirable for the screenwriter's brain hole! This can definitely open a topic on Zhihu: How likely is it in reality that the movie "Fast and Furious 5" finally dumps the safe while driving?

The rise of three-dimensional portrayal of characters: To tell the truth, seeing characters with their own magical powers rushing from all directions, now it looks like the Avengers, Justice League, etc., maybe Hollywood movies can be made into a series , There will always be a big gathering in the plot, but when Dom picks up the wine glass and invites everyone to toast together, it really makes people feel like family. This is exactly what the Fast and Furious series does. Just like in the "Toy Story" series, each film gradually portrays the feeling of contrast between growth and willingness.

The above climbs make me feel that "The Fast and the Furious" can definitely gain a foothold on its own style in various movie series and universes.
