Key Points:

Monitors inside Aimes’ hi-tech HQ play clips from the Fast family’s biggest stunts.
When Aimes talks about “humble roots” in Fast X, therefore, he’s also referring to the franchise as a whole.
It began with 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, a mid-budget crime film about street racing which featured a cast of relative unknowns.
The Fast Saga is one of the top-ten highest grossing film franchises of all time, and Fast X cost an estimated US$340 million (£275 million) to produce.

Retcons and resurrections

This is something the Fast films do with an alarming disregard for narrative coherence.
In this sense, Fast X feels like an attempt to rationalise the messy timeline that emerged out of the unusual choices of earlier films.
In Fast X, he finally reunites with Shaw, giving Han a chance to get revenge against the man who appeared to kill him four films ago.

An outlaw franchise

But there’s method in the madness, a consistent inconsistency which has allowed the saga to carve out its own niche.
The seemingly chaotic nature of the Fast Saga’s development is central to its appeal.
Reflecting on its unlikely trajectory, critics often observe that the franchise has an off-the-cuff feel.
