Fast and Furious movies in order of how to watch them

The Quick and Livid franchise has been round for over 20 years now, and it’s had an extended and winding path to the worldwide field workplace juggernaut we all know it as as we speak.

However maybe the one factor extra complicated than how Dom, Letty, Brian, and the remainder of the crew turned from road racers, small-time crooks, and cops into world superspies is what order you’re really supposed to observe these films in. After the discharge of Quick X, the sequence could have 10 mainline entries, two with the identical title and several other with completely several types of names, and a derivative film.

Don’t fear although, we’re right here to assist information you thru the franchise 1 / 4 mile at a time, and in case you’re a Quick franchise veteran who already is aware of the timeline backwards and forwards, we’ve even obtained one other suggestion for methods to combine up your rewatch forward of the franchise’s penultimate (most likely?) entry:

The place to observe the Quick and Livid films on streaming

Earlier than we dive into the potential watch orders, it’s vital to know the place they’re all streaming.

The primary eight entries of the franchise can be found for DirecTV subscribers. The primary 5 entries, in addition to Livid 7, can be found on TNT and TBS (the primary film is barely on TNT). Livid 7 and F9 are streaming on Peacock, and F9 can be streaming on HBO Max. The spin-off Hobbs & Shaw is barely out there by VOD distributors like Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu — and the remainder of the films can be found on these platforms as properly.

Watching Quick and Livid films in launch order

That is essentially the most easy attainable technique to watch these films: the order by which they have been initially launched. On the one hand, this can be a semi-logical development of a story and offers a pleasant window into the way in which the sequence has expanded over time. As an added bonus, it’s additionally very enjoyable to observe this stuff get increasingly more ridiculous at each flip — and watching the crew go from boosting A/V gear to stealing nuclear subs nonetheless hits simply as hilariously and weirdly watching them like this because it did seeing them years aside in theaters.

This one is just a little bit flimsy, contemplating all of the retcons, flashbacks, and CGI scene-additions over time, however we’re doing the perfect we are able to. Except for the flashback of Dom and his brother Jacob from F9, the one big change to this order is becoming in The Quick and The Livid: Tokyo Drift into the center of the sixth and seventh entries, as a result of that’s technically when it occurs within the canon. Apart from that, that is fairly much like launch order, but it surely does no less than make just a little extra sense.

Watching Quick and Livid films in “flashback order”

Now we’re actually mixing issues up. This order makes an attempt to make sense out of the slipshod continuity (complimentary) that has held this franchise collectively, and given Justin Lin and Vin Diesel license for more and more absurd stunts — particularly within the final decade.

To start out with, we’re going to need to justify the truth that this crew is thought for his or her daring espionage and heisting exploits, so we’re kicking off with Quick and Livid and Quick 5. Subsequent, it’s time to get just a little backstory on how this crew got here collectively. Lastly, we kick issues off into excessive gear with a number of the crew’s highest-profile jobs, in addition to a narrative arc about Han and Shaw, which can proceed to be a plot thread up till Quick X, the place it’s been teased the 2 would possibly meet.

This order shakes issues up for veteran Quick viewers, and offers a barely new form to the way in which the sequence tells tales. Critically although, it does preserve simply sufficient construction to cease it from feeling completely random.
