Is 2 Fast 2 Furious The Best In The Franchise?

- By this point, most fans think of the Fast and Furious franchise as more of a circus than it's roots as a street racing franchise. Though after Vin Diesel didn't return after The Fast and the Furious for 2 Fast 2 Furious, it wasn't clear the franchise had much gas left in the tank. 2 Fast 2 Furious is now thought to be a lower tier installment in the Fast Franchise, but looking back, the movie is a lot better than you probably remember. 2 Fast 2 Furious not only introduced Tyrese's Roman Pierce and Ludacris's Tej, but it also started the trend of amplifying what made The Fast and the Furious so much fun. We may have gotten away from racing down the streets of Miami, but without 2 Fast 2 Furious we may not have 10 installments, with an 11th on the way.

“In defence of” this objectively good movie. Shakespeare turned in his grave because he didn’t come up with “EJECTO SEATO CUZ” first
2 fast 2 furious was a masterpiece Nerd! Don’t be a fool
@ BigPurp right on the money brother!
forget about it cuh
This movie,
The first one and Tokyo Drift are the real fast and the furious films
Others are just Dom's hallucinations in the hospital 😅😅
after inhaling too much car polish😆
@@BeatRoot14 🤣🤣🤣
Whenever I think about Tokio Drift I come to a conclusion it was really more about racing cars fast (and furious... ly?) more than any other iterations, maybe except the first one... Arguably even more
@og_ice_freezer 1, 2 and Tokyo Drift were more about cars than the newer ones but Drift was purely for us car enthusiasts
He’s in a coma due to head trauma from the wreck at the end of the first movie. He didn’t get far in Brian’s car.
I’m honestly surprised by how low I see it rated by some, I feel Paul and Tyrese's dynamic outshines Paul and Vins in every way.
True I guess since Paul & Tyrese where really close
I feel the same way.
I think both dynamics work greatly for their respective movies. FF1 is more of a interpersonal drama while FF2 is closer to a buddy comedy. Brian and Dom don't know each other and have to build that brotherly bond over time, while Brian and Roman have a history and can play off each other.
I like watching this movie around the beginning of every summer. Think it’s the most fun one in the series.
I think that too, I think Tyrese was much more willing to play funny but serious.
I have to admit... I started to resent Vin's overly serious and "badass" character, not like there isn't charm to him... in the early movies, but the recent movies just... they bore me, and make me not like Don anymore.
No need to defend PEAK CINEMA
It has:
- Ejecto seato, cuz
-Forget about it, cuh
-Pockets ain't empty, cuz!
Need I say more? 😂😂😭
Edit: cuz to cuh
Forget about it, cuhhhh**
**Cuh
same here to say it's CUH too xD@@RocketPropelledWombat
The fucking zoom in right before he says "I said forget about it cuh" is what gets me
Don’t forget, “Like I said, we hungry.”
2fast was peak fast and ill die on that hill
It was honestly
Facts, this movie was fun and 🔥
This is the first one of these film i watched. I loved it. Not having seen the 1st one I didnt miss Toretto. He was a reference to the past . thats it.
eventually i watched the first one which i loved as well, but to me the blond guy is the main protagonist not the muscle shirt guy
I'll die with you on that hill
Ill join you. Its my fave of all of them
I always laugh when they go to get the package out of the bad guy's car and Roman smashes the window, only for Brian to just open the unlocked door. They both just look at each other and say nothing 😂
Hands down my favorite scene in the film 😂
Roman: What are you checking her out for?
Brian: I'm not checking her out.
* cuts to the next scene *
Roman: Yes you were.
Brian: No I wasn't.
Roman: I seen you checking her out man.
Brian: Okay I was now shut up.
Roman: You shut up! Tell me to shut up?
Fuentes: Both you girlies shut up! Unbelievable... 🤣
Their lines really felt like grown brothers that had a falling out and is now forced to spend time together 😂
I like to think they kept the "Yes you were" "No I wasn't" argument up the entire time they were moving to the next scene 🤣
The scramble scene, is my favorite to this day, it was like watching all my hot wheels cars racing at the same time, and they did it in real life.
Haha, really well put 😊
2 Fast and 2 Furious is my favorite out of the whole entire franchise, especially the cars they picked!
RIGHT BRIAN's CAR WAS SO ICONIC!
Both their cars sucked, especially the eclipse lol
I'm 32 now so was at the perfect age when this came out. I loved it.
Same here. I’m 32 and I lived in South Florida at the time when this came out. This movie taking place in Miami, I always had a connection to it. Childhood memories.
@@joshuaeli2789 UK for me, it was like a different world 😂
@@MatthewJBD hahaha that’s how I felt watching UK movies. Different world.
Turning 32 next month, this was one of my favorites back in the day! I still remember using the 2 Fast 2 Furious theme on AOL Instant Messenger.
@@Triptych229 haha AOL. It seemed to be that or short clips from The Rolling Stones or Red Hot Chili Peppers
I'd put 2 Fast 2 Furious over all the movies after Fast Five. This movie will always have a special place in my heart.
Yep I'd agree with that. It's a pretty terrible but yet still very watchable film and far better than all the later ones. It went from 'fun' to taking its self too seriously... Just like the bloody Marvel franchise did!
Still wished Suki and Leon (from the first movie) came back for the later movies.
That last sentence in the excerpt of what Vin Diesel said "They were capitalizing on the brand and milking the success of it as long as they could." He says thats why he didnt do 2 Fast 2 furious.
THAT SENTENCE LITERALLY DEFINES THE NEXT 8 MOVIES IN THE FAST FRANCHISE. Vin Diesel has no self awareness lmao
Yeah exactly, funny that vin didn't realised he criticised his own
Or maybe it's like Coppola's writing and they're setting the stage each time for an even more ridiculous successor.
Next 8?! I'm from the future and they've just released Fast and Furiously Farcical 48 and they're doing two more next year! Send help!
RIP John Singleton
Such an underrated director. Boyz N Tha Hood, Shaft, Four Brothers this. Him and Antoine Fuqua were at the top of their game in the early to mid 2000's
They captured the Miami vibe in 2F so well imo. The intro race scene is literally my favorite movie car scene to this day, it's just perfect. Kid me thought the bridge jump was the coolest shit ever. All the characters have actual personalities in this movie too. Definitely doesn't deserve the hate.
Idc if it sucked tbh, kid me found this the coolest movie ever at the time lol.
I agree I LOVE this movie and can watch it anytime
Brian's Skyline is still one of the coolest (if not the coolest) car in the whole franchise.
It didn't suck. It was the best.
2 fast 2 furious is my favorite 😂
Mine too
It's not my absolute fave (3, 5,7 and even 8 I share a lot of love for), but it's definitely in my top 5
I take it you got into the franchise kinda late@@ajohndaeal-asad6731
Worst Fast and Furious film is a highly competitive field.
Hella underrated comment
Nothing beats F9 tbh, that movie was the worst.
@@petermanji81169 is by far the worst. Like beyond the the usual cheesiness of F&F franchise it’s just not fun and the plot is so beyond nonsensical. Bad villain, lazy jokes, going to space just for the joke of it.
Idk about prime age? I turn 36 this year and I remember seeing this movie the summer before 9th grade. 🤷🏽♂️ so you had to have been 9 years old lol
@@petermanji8116......so far.
Fast & Furious 1 and 2 R My Favs in Series
+ the third one
That 3rd one had the best soundtrack. Makes you want to start drifting like some anime music
In order of favourites for me, 1, 3 and 2.
Thankfully they stopped and NEVER did another film after 3... 😂
I've always felt if the DVD prelude had been in the theater it would have been better received. Explaining Brian on the run, the extra races, and how he got the GTR to Miami definitely helped the plot
I have a high affinity for the "Classic" era of The Fast and the Furious franchise. 1, 2, and Tokyo Drift are all a little bit different but all have a very clear understanding of what the franchise is all about. Fast cars, family, and most importantly racing. After these three films the franchise jumps the shark, in a good way to be clear, but the simplicity and low stakes of the first three movies is extremely charming and a great time capsule of that early-mid 2000s era.
Fast 5 is my favorite, but this my second favorite. I remember being so skeptical of this one because it didn't have Vin but it was a lot of fun and the audience was really into it. They'll never get confused for a Kubrick film but there's nothing wrong with mindless fun.
Same here
This film always feels like the cast are having more fun, brian and romans chemistry is great.
In defence of 2f2f, "forget about it, cuh!"
"But... But... That's no defence!”
"... EJECTO SEAT, CUHHHH!"
"i said forget about it cuh" and "EJECTO SEATO CUZ!" live in my head rent free, Tyrese is amazing
I didn't realize 2 Fast was hated lol. It's a shame, because it's probably my favorite of the series. Their loss.
I still quote "we hongry" to this day
While silly at times it definitely has its own signature style, just like the first one had its own. I always come back to the racing scenes
The first time I saw this movie was about 2 days before hearing that John Singleton died
As a kid, my mom rented for me Phantom Menace and 2 Fast and 2 Furious. I put on phantom menace and within 25 minutes I turned it off, but 2 fast 2 furious? I was hooked, and that cemented as a fan of the family ever since. Even tho Fast Five is my personal favorite, I love 2 fast 2 furious for being shot in Miami, and it’s a local favorite around here next to Tokyo drift.
I had no clue this was so hated. Roman is my fave character and this was his origins history, I've loved this movie!
First fast film i saw in the cinema, was 12 at the time. It was so much fun and made me fall in love with the franchise, though tokyo drift played a huge part in it as well. ill always remember that scramble scene with all the cars, man that was sooo dope.
This was the first one I saw in theaters as I was too young according to my mom for the first one. I loved this movie when I was eleven and and I love it now in my thirties. It's not an over the top movie but a nice buddy cop like movie that is action pack (realistic) and the story is easy to follow.
Agreed this is my favorite of the franchise. It was just a fun movie, unlike the ridiculous over the top action of the newer ones.
I have so much nostalgia for this movie.
I was done when Brian said "CUH"
2 Fast is the second best film after Fast 5. The villain was a villain, the stunts were within the realm of reality and campy in a great way.
We hungry for more of this.
The first movie was cool but this is the one that really got me hooked into the franchise. You can imagine my excitement when Roman returned for the fifth movie 😃
Yess finally someone said it. This is acc my favourite fast and furious just because of how chaotic, quotable and so unapologetically 2000s it is. I’ll love this film forever
2 Fast 2 Furious is and will forever be my favorite of the franchise. While maybe yes, the stunts are what kickstarted the action-packed movies thereafter, most of the stunts were still realistic, with the exclusion of the boat jump of course. I think Fast and Furious was still grounded with most of it's action.
Idk im nostalgic of course but this and tokyo drift are my fave ever. I loved 2 so much though! Maye partly because of Eva Mendez xD
I was a kid when this came out & at the time? This movie was HUGE! Ludacris had the song too? It was a good time😁
2F2F and Tokio Drift are the NFS Most Wanted and Carbon movies that we always needed.
Always been the best of the FF franchise to me, glad to see y’all come around 😜
Me too
2 fast was my favorite growing up. And it still to this day holds a special place in my heart.
unironically my favorite Fast film. A Brian/Rome "buddy cop" movie > Super Dom saving the day every time
This gave Paul Walkers, Brian O Conner great character development, this is a personal favorite in the entire series. Stories don't make as much sense without 2 Fast 2 Furious. Love your videos BTW! .
Great video.
Had this one on DVD, it’s my favorite 😂
This is a really interesting take!
Damn its good to see a beloved childhood film get its flowers over 2 decades later
Thank you for this
As the franchise has gone completely bonkers, OG fans went back to advocate for the original trilogy, yet i STILL don't see enough recognition for 2F2F.
I'm gona be honest, 2F2F has been, and at this point will always be my favorite F&F movie, it has everything, JDMs, muscles, exotics, pink slips, sprints, circuits, chases, THE SCRAMBLE BABY! it's the only movie where Roman is legitimately funny. Singleton's hip hop music video vibe completely fits the NFS Underground 2 world phenomenon at the time and i still happened to be a full raphead back then, and on the side note, Singleton was the one who discovered Pitbull and arguably made him the world wide superstar he turned out to be later on. On the rewatch the stakes feel real and very high and keep bloating throughout the movie, which gave it even more tension to the scenes, Brian and Roman's friendship does feel more real in 1 movie, than Dom and Brian's "brotherhood" in 5 movies. I missed the first F&F in theaters, but after picking it up at Blockbuster me and my dad were the first ones in line for the 2F2F premiere, my heart was racing the entire time and we never missed another F&F movie in theaters again lol.
True! Very true
Brian and Romans friendship feels more real then with Dom !!
😔 I wished Paul Walker had been alive.
As someone who grow up in the 2000’s the first 2 Fast movies feel as if they perfectly captured the time. The stunts, the colors and comedy. They both have their own identity. The following movies after Tokyo Drift don’t seem to have any identity as the characters became superhuman vigilantes.
this is my favorite and introductory then again I haven't seen in it in 10 years. but the lasting impression because of its style says something
Finally 2 fast was always my favorite in the franchise will always love that early 2000s vibe even though I was a newborn at the time 😤🌊
As a kid, the only F&F movies I had access to were 2 fast and Tokyo drift, the 2 movies most disconnected from the current cast. Imagine how confused I was to finally see part 1 and recognise nobody except Brian
2 best lines of the whole franchise if not in all of cinema, "forget about cuh" and "ejecto seato"
It’s always been my favorite one, it’s got such a cozy vibe
Back in like 2003 I worked at my town's Radio Shack, we had this movie playing on a 47" rear projection TV by the cash register from open to close for a couple of years.
I love this movie and it's one of my favorites I didn't know it was so lowly rated😂😂
I've only seen the first 5 movies in the franchise, and 2 is the most fun of the lot.
Idk if I said it on one of your older videos or not. But 2 Fast 2 Furious then Tokyo Drift, was a good way to go. We should've gotten a bunch of different fast and furious movies with Doms story being told at the end scenes ever so often. Then wrap up with the main characters of those movies as the cast of the final 3 movies.
The racing scene is all around the world. Every country has one. There was a lot of content there
2F2F has always been my favorite in the franchise, when I was a kid I've probably watched it twice a week and when I was older I found out there was a prelude made for the movie which totally blew my mind
Never understood the hate, especially when you look at the couple of the last few entries in the franchise which in my opinion suck a lot...
When Tyrese’s character wasn’t a joke
did tokyo drift had a preludelike 2 fast? From what movie was that scene at 8:21?
Oh my goodness 2 Fast 2 Furious is my favorite movie. I love the villain and Eva Mendez is amazing. Rome is my favorite character for comedic reasons. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and I’m glad someone is talking about it.
This is the one i usually come back to !
Seen it in the theaters, was and still is a fun movie. Like this video says, there is a big comperison with Need for Speed and i like those games :)
i've always said this one was the best (or at least, my favorite). glad to see folks finally catching up.
This has always been my favorite fast and furious movie and I think a large part of it is it was the first one I saw. I didn't even know it was a sequel until a few years later
I was 17 when this came out, and listened to this sound track so many damn times in my jeep w the subwoofers and shitty underglow, I love the movie just for that nostalgia
first two movies were cool because of the cars and races, then it went downhill drift from there !
also, the influence on racing games were amazing ! glad we got need for speed underground and midnight clue after that ! and a bunch of other racing games too !
much love to games, dude
and go watch "thunderbolt" with jackie chan ! is one heck of a movie
Love thunderbolt
This one will always be my favorite, even after watching the newer ones
i totally recomend everyone the 'ben from canada' video essay about this film, as a plus for this vid
I just watched it and it was fascinating and hilarious at the same time. Thanks for the suggestion.
I only saw the first three movies, so imagine my surprise when i saw the recent film trailers
It’s great to see a positive take on this film. 😁
Pretty funny that an ad popped up with Ludacris in it.
Without this movie, I might never be in love with THE Skyline so it's always be in my high regards
This was the first one I saw. And til this day my fav.
I looked down on Fast & Furious for most of my life, honestly even at action as a genre; when I watched Fury Road I understood what could be great about it, but still had a hard time with the more, for lack of a better term (but with 0 moral judgement) stupid kind of action
I watched most of the franchise in a few days and the first three were what helped me get it and enjoy those kinda of movies, specially this second one that was just so fun I couldn't look down on it anymore, totally get why people love the franchise and they should give this one another shot
Its always been one of my favorites from the franchise
This is in my personal top three for the franchise (Fast 5, Furious 7, 2 Fast 2 Furious). Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, and Ludacris had amazing chemistry together and were funny. It had nice cars and some good action. There is something about it that keep me coming back.
This is my childhood movie. I wanted nothing but to be apart of the underground scene cause of this and growing up in south florida where emisions testing doesnt exist and the local PD doesnt get involved in your cars. Minus the whole drug cartel story line, its been at times like this. Meet up in locations, finding places to race, building relationships talking mad shit. Everyone actually having cars they are dedicated to. Ending up at random afterparties or even sometimes clubs and shit with the crew. It was def a different time. NGL miss it.
I used to watch this movie all the time. Me and my best friend LOVED the first movie, to the point where we could basically reenact the whole thing. The second one came out and we automatically loved it. Then when I was 20 years old, in 2007, I bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider, the same car that Rome drove in the movie. Mine was red but it had similar(ish) side decals and it was a convertible. If you saw the movie and saw my car you would make the connection pretty easily. Anyways, I installed a DVD player in the car and kept 2Fast 2Furious in it at all times so I could pop it in and make jokes and try to impress girls lol. We were 20 years old, we grew up in a very small town, and no one had money, so it was like the coolest thing in the world to have the same car as Rome in 2Fast 2Furious.
I always loved 2F2F. I was 13 when it came out though.
In contrast of your video although I agree and I may not be apart of the masses I thought 2 fast 2 furious and continue to think is one of the best of the fast franchise if not the best. I remember purchasing this movie and then repurchasing this movie and then purchasing it again about a year ago and it still holds up modern day it is still an amazing film The sequences are great. I can't see how anyone wouldn't think this is a masterpiece if not a classic
The first two movies have lines of dialogue still used today in the car community. Not so much the third onward, if at all. The first 3 however are a good milestone to me as it's a reminder of the times we can finally pull out our summer-only cars after 10 months of cold then get rolling feeling better. You won't see Corvettes, Ferrari Spyders, and McLarens out in the slush. =Þ
A good tie-in with the movies was with Streetglow which made F&F licensed neon and LED accessories which I indulged in and still have .... 6 tubes left? Those kits came with die cast cars from 1 and 2 so that was neat. The neon plate frames and exhaust tips were awesome but in my case attracted the local police who didn't know crap from applesauce. It was my time to educate them about the legality of DOT approved aftermarket products.
The fourth movie (soft reboot) is fine as it still had some racing in it and was still grounded in reality. No physics defying stunts and the action hero nonsense was kept to a minimum.
.....and, no, nitrous is not explosive. Every mechanic and car fan knows this. Hollywood has a tendency to warp ignorant minds. Even the label on my nitrous bottle claims it. Green diamond: "Non-flammable gas (2)". Think of it as an inhaler for the engine. You'd perform a _lot_ better after inhaling 100% medical grade oxygen and will want to punch a bear in the snout.
I’ve always dug this one and it has everything to do with Tyrese 🤘🏽
I dunno, me and all my friends loved the OG Fast movie, but we were obsessed with 2Fast, but the fact that we were addicted to anything Luda since Southern Hospitality may have played a part lol
The only thing I remember as a kid was this movie was considered to be bad. I watched it on TV or something as a kid and remember thinking to myself…..”I like this!” Especially the “pockets ain’t empty cuz” scene. Brilliant!
"EJECTO SEATO CUH" Never gets old lol
As much as I like the first movie, I am a big fan of what Fast and the Furious has become. mainly because when I go watch a Fast & Furious movie in theaters I want spectacle. if I wanted a well written arthouse movie, I would stay at home and watch it on my tv.
In terms of street racing and the culture this was pretty on point.
Tokyo drift is in my opinion the Underrated great movie of the Franchise. Tokyo drift was about the underworld no undercover cops
Can you make a video defending other movies, or at least the directors behind them?
There are a lot of directors that deserve more credit than the writers and the producers behind them, like...
* Andy Muschietti (Flash)
* José Padilha (Robocop)
* Marc Webb (TASM2)
* David F. Sandberg (Shazam: Fury of The Gods)
* Tim Miller (Terminator: Dark Fate)
* Dave Green (TMNT: Out of Shadows)
Wasnt even bad like you said" just misunderstood " and it was one of the better ones tbh
Love this movie, I mean it have everything brotherhood, street racing,comedy and a great villain too plus lots of amazing cars
The only time I've ever watched this movie was when I was 13. I thought it was awesome. I think I will choose to remember it that way. Also I have maintained the naming convention from this movie when referring to any Fast movie since then.
2F2F and Tokyo Drift are the absolute best FF movies. They capture the culture, still care about the cars, it was pure street racing and the characters felt real and relatable. When the movies became larger than life crime movies with the drama and explosion that is when it went downhill.
Cool.
2 Fast 2 Furious is easily one of my favourites out of the entire franchise. the chemistry between Tyrese and Paul Walker was impeccable and the number of quotable lines makes it stand out. to this day i still say "my pockets ain't empty cuh" or "cause i'm hUNGry" or "ejecto seato cuz" when i land a snipe. wild to see it wasn't well received by critics.
