Random Fast And Furious Fan Theories That Are Just Crazy Enough To Be Tru (15 items)

  (#6) Leo And Santos Were Working For Shaw The Entire TIme

  Leo and Santos may be the comic relief of the Fast and the Furious series, but what if they serve another, more nefarious, purpose? Redditor Dave_Kun thinks that while Dom and the gang were knocking back Coronas and stopping international crime, Deckard Shaw was building his own team of baddie car men, and he was using Leo and Santos to gather information on Dom.

  This makes perfect sense. It explains why Shaw knew so much about the team when his squad finally came into contact with them by the sixth and seventh films, and why the two goofs drop off the radar so quickly.

  (#3) Brian Is Going To Be Killed Offscreen

  Even though the late Paul Walker's character Brian is still alive in the continuity of the series, he may not be for long. At the end of 2 Fast 2 Furious, Brian tells Roman (Tyrese Gibson) that the drug dealer they busted, Verone, is going come after them when gets out of prison.

  Reddit user tmacbusy believes that since Brian is offscreen, it would be easy to reintroduce Verone to the world of the Furious by having him exact his revenge on Brian. This would clear up the whole Paul Walker passing away thing, and they could reintroduce Mia to the films.

  (#10) Dom Toretto Is A Terminator

  It turns out the above video theory about Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto being a T-800 (or some other numbered cybernetic entity) is based in fact, sort of. Back in 2010, the rights to the Terminator franchise were up for sale and Universal was desperately trying to make a bid in order to cross-pollinate the series of movies about angry robots with their fast car property.

  Some people believe when that fell through, Universal and Fast and the Furious scribe Chris Morgan just decided to continue along with their dreams of electric Torettos by turning Dom into a robo-man and not telling anyone. What's the proof? Well, he has super strength, he doesn't seem to feel pain, he fights exactly like a T-800, and he never dies despite consistently being shot, thrown into walls, crashing head first into things, and having a nuclear submarine explode within his vicinity.

  (#1) The Absence Of Coronas In Fate Of The Furious Is A Nod To Paul Walker

  One of the biggest parts of the Fast and the Furious franchise (outside of the cars), is Dom drinking Coronas with the boys. Really, it's integral to the franchise. But Fate of the Furious, the eighth film in the series, manages to eschew the Coronas in lieu of Bud heavies.

  The conspicuous lack of Coronas in the final film, especially in the scene where the boys barbecue on a Brooklyn roof, is a nod to the fact that things have changed in the Furious-verse, and that the world of Dom and the gang is never going to be the same.

  (#8) The Fast And The Furious Films Are A Dungeons & Dragons Campaign

  If you know anything about Vin Diesel, you know that he's a D&D fan, and as a producer and arguably one of the most important people in the chain of command in the Fast and the Furious franchise, if he wants to make his movies into a D&D campaign based around cars, he can do it.

  Essentially, Something Awful contributor Jonny Angel believes the entire F&F series is based around escalation and procuring super cool items and abilities by choosing to do interesting and increasingly dangerous things with your friends.

  (#4) Brian Never Stopped Being An Undercover Agent

  Brian O'Conner, the character played by the late Paul Walker, obviously bowed out of the series in Furious 7 and went to live with his family rather than remain an integral member of an international team of car thieves. Or did he?

  Reddit user tunawhitenocrustt posits that from the fourth movie on, Brian is secretly working with the FBI and using his contacts to allow the team to continue to pull off increasingly insane stunts. While Brian may have left Toretto's team (remember, Brian is still alive in this fictive universe), he went to work for the FBI and continues to monitor the team, in case they need his help with any (kind of) crime-stopping work in the future. Honestly, this theory seems pretty spot on.
