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

  (#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.

  (#2) Gisele And Han Are Still Alive

  As every Fast-head knows, Gisele (played by Gal Gadot) and Sung Kang's Han both die in the sixth film. Or, so the audience has been lead to believe. Not only are both Han and Gisele especially adept at tucking and rolling, but neither of their bodies are ever seen on camera after their deaths.

  Is it because they're both hideously mangled? Or is it, as Reddit user omegansmiles believes, because they're still alive? And not for nothing, but every other character in the series has survived oddly similar injuries to those that befell Gisele (falling out of a plane) and Han (exploding inside of a car). Maybe the series is just waiting to bring these two characters back.

  (#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.

  (#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.

  (#5) Deckard Shaw Is Frank Martin From The Transporter

  Obviously, this theory got its start because Deckard and Frank are played by the same super tough bald Englishman, Jason Statham. But that's not the only thing these characters have in common.

  Redditor Connerws15's theory is that since they're both exceptionally talented in hand-to-hand combat, crazy driving, and looking smart in a suit, Deckard Shaw once worked under the code name "Frank Martin."

  (#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.

  (#7) What Scene Changed At The Last Minute?

  A real-life conspiracy around the Fate of the Furious, it's said that something happened in the film's final scene that had to be changed at the last minute. But what could it have been? Some fans believe the film's final barbecue scene included Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner, and he had to scrubbed from the scene just before the film went to theaters, but no one involved with the film has confirmed or denied what has happened. What do you think happened? YouTube channel iHaveATheory outlines the controversy in the above video.

  (#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. 
• 

  (#9) The Fast And The Furious Takes Place In The Same Universe As Parks And Rec

  This might be a stretch, but it does kind of make sense. After busting Dom out of a prison convoy at the beginning of Fast Five, there's a collection of news footage helmed by Jay Jackson, the actor who plays Perd Hapley from Parks and Recreation.

  Some fans believe that Perd and the reporter are the same guy, and that the universes of P&R and F&F are one in the same. It's possible that Perd and this nameless reporter are just being played by the same person, but isn't it also possible that Parks & Rec takes place in the present day, while Fast Five takes place in a distant past before Perd moved to Pawnee and got terrible at his job? Redditor Nocut12 thinks that yes, it is entirely possible.

  (#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.

  (#11) Last Witch Hunter Is A Fast And The Furious Sequel

  On the surface this seems far-fetched, but once you start piecing together the facts it's obvious The Last Witch Hunter plays more like Fast and the Furious 73. In LWH, Vin Diesel's character, Kaulder, is 800 years old, he changes identities at the drop of a hat, he likes cars, and he even does some Tokyo Drifting at the end of the film.

  The film's director, Breck Eisner, told the Huffington Post the shot of Kaulder speeding off at the end was a nod to Fast and the Furious, saying, “Of course, we all recognize that Vin is clearly associated with Dom, and let’s please acknowledge that.” He continued by recognizing that even though he hadn't thought of the film as a sequel, it was a cool idea. “I do like that. The idea of immortality. Dom is clearly immortal. I mean those [Fast and the Furious] guys don’t die. They’re superheroes now.”

  (#12) The Fast And The Furious Runs Parallel To Transformers

  Redditor CubisticFlunky5 doesn't give much hard information in this theory, but it does actually make sense. Not only are the cars Dom and the gang drive on their world-spanning adventures much cooler than the cars us normies drive, but they handle much more punishment than any kind of regular car.

  If you've ever wondered what Bumblebee and the rest of the Transformers are up to when they're not saving the world from space invaders, this may be it. Both franchises are run by Universal, so it's possible that at some day soon there may be crossover between these two car-based franchises.

  (#13) The Movie Takes Place In An Alternate Universe Where People Can't Get Hurt

  One of the most interesting fan theories about the Fast and the Furious is that it takes place in an alternate universe, where people don't get injured in the way normal humans do. Redditor Dr_Eastman points out that in Fast 6, Dom saves Lettie from falling to her death by jumping from a speeding vehicle, catching her like Superman, and and landed on another speeding vehicle's windshield with no visible injuries.

  Aside from that, Dom has been shot multiple times, and doesn't seem to ever show signs of injury. Remember, after he and Deckard Shaw had a head-on car crash (since actually comparing penis length is hard to do when you're both in cars), they were both healthy enough to get into a physically punishing fist fight 10 seconds later.

  (#14) The Cars Are From The Future

  Try to wrap your mind around this theory: While the cars in the first three Fast and Furious films are correct for their time (the RX-7, Ford Mustang, Supra, etc), the cars from the fourth film through to the seventh (which take place after the second film and prior to the third film, Tokyo Drift) are newer than the cars from the films that chronologically come later.

  How could this be? Redditor The_Mustang_Man believes that the answer is obvious: Time travel, baby. By the time the films get to Fate of the Furious, they're populated with super lasers, cars that can be driven via computer and all sorts of stuff, so clearly all of the technology is ahead of its time. Obviously, Brian's connection to the FBI allowed the gang to use the Montauk Project to bring cars from the future into their present timeline.

  (#15) Dom Was Cloned In Fate Of The Furious

  When the first trailers for Fate of the Furious dropped, people were understandably curious as to why Dom would turn on his family and help Charlize Theron hack the planet. Many fans believed Dom was kidnapped and cloned in order to create a badder bad boy, who wouldn't be weighed down by his obsession with drinking Coronas with his bros. This theory didn't really pan out, but it's still something fun to think about, and it could always happen in a later film.
