The sixth theme is... The Fast and the Furious! ................................................................................. In June 2001, a low-budget car action/crime/detective film called The Fast and the Furious was released in the United States. Critics called it "for teenagers" and "cheap", but it was finally released in Japan four months later in October 2001. The Japanese title "Wild Speed" was added on impulse, which was probably because they could not predict the future of this film. In fact, who could have imagined that this would produce sequels and spin-offs for years and become a huge hit series representing Universal Pictures? Vin Diesel was absent in the second film, Paul Walker was not involved in the third film, and the original main cast finally returned in the fourth film, but Paul suddenly passed away in the middle of filming the seventh film... but anyway, the Fast and the Furious series continues to run wild even now, 22 years after the first film. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster). Roman (Tyrese). Tej (Ludacris). Han (Sung Kang). Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham). Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel). Jacob (John Cena). Plus, Gisele (Gal Gadot). Sean (Lucas Black). Twinkie (Bow Wow). Earl Hu (Jason Tobin). Reiko (Kitagawa Keiko). Rico Santos (Don Omar). Tego Leo (Tego Calderon). And of course Brian (Paul Walker). Where will the intense, lovable, absurd and moving story they have spun go? In May 2023, just after the release of the 10th film, "Fire Boost," the first in the final chapter, Tomohiro Machiyama and Kyubei Maruya, who have been fascinated by the Fast & Furious franchise, aka the "Wild Speed" series, will talk about it! ▼ Paid streaming is available here: https://maruyamachiyama202305.peatix.com
