What's going on?

This is Chris Ludacris Bridges.

I am in the new Fate of the Furious movie

and if you haven't seen all of them

I got to take you through each particular movie

one at a time, starting with the very first one.

(upbeat music)

The Fast and the Furious.

This is where it all began.

Starting with the three main characters,

Dom Toretto, Brian O'Connor, and Mia.

A little bit about Dom,

he represent strength and courage.

He's just unstoppable.

Brian, they didn't know he was a cop at first, but he is.

Dom and Brian they raced.

Dom wins the first race.

Dom and Brian drink Coronas for the first time.

Brian and Mia start dating.

It's a beautiful love story that's going to happen.

This is where Letty is introduced and the friend Vince,

who has some bad luck,

but we'll talk about that later in another movie.

Brian and Mia end up saving Dom, Vince and Letty

because they're trying to hijack the trucks

but little do they know

these truckers are armed and extremely dangerous.

Dom finds out Brian is a cop.

Dom gets angry.

Dom and Brian raced again.

My man Dom gets injured and at the end,

Brian lets Dom go free.

(upbeat music)

2 Fast 2 Furious.

We introduced Monica Fuentes, the undercover agent.

And my man Carter Verone, the drug lord.

Monica recruits Brian O'Connor.

Both of them go to recruit Roman Pearce.

They go undercover together.

Verone hires them to be his driver.

They have a police chase.

And this is where the greatest character

of all time is introduced,

this guy by the name of Tej.

That is me ladies and gentlemen.

He runs the street races.

He's all about making a dollar.

The police think they're you know chasing Brian and Roman

and it turns out that they're not.

I sent them on a wild goose chase.

Verone boards this yacht.

Fuentes becomes his hostage.

Brian and Roman foil his entire plan

and crashed onto the yacht.

Verone is arrested, Fuentes is rescued.

End of the story.

(upbeat music)

Tokyo Drift, the third installment in the series.

However, in the timeline it takes place

after Fast and Furious 6.

We introduce Sean who got expelled from school

and had to go live with his dad in Tokyo.

He had never drift race before.

D.K. who is known as the Drift King.

And my man Han the garage owner and street racer.

So Sean goes up against D.K., loses terribly.

Han teaches Sean how to drift.

D.K. accuses Han of stealing.

D.K. chases Han and Sean,

and my man Han ends up getting killed in a car crash.

Han's crash may later on be not what it seems.

Sean and D.K. raced.

Sean wins the race.

And at the end of the story,

my man Dom shows up and challenges Sean

and says, Han was family.

(upbeat music)

Fast and Furious,

five years after the first film.

Letty and Dom are on the run.

Letty is murdered in a car crash.

Dom obviously investigates.

Brian is now an FBI agent.

Now you introduced the drug lord Arturo Braga,

and then Gisele who works for Braga.

Brian and Dom looked for Braga

because they want to slit his damn throat.

So Gisele recruits them to join Braga's team.

And I'm talking about Dom and Brian.

They're kind of undercover here.

Dom and Brian steal Braga's drugs.

Brian and Mia haven't seen each other in five years,

so they finally hook up.

Braga almost runs over Gisele

but Dom comes and saves her.

Brian and Dom catch Braga after a car chase.

They've been hunting this guy down the whole movie.

So after all of Dom's goodwill and everything that he's done

you would think that he would go free,

yet, he's sent to prison.

(upbeat music)

Fast Five, my personal favorite.

Mia and Brian free Dom from a prison bust

right off the top of the movie,

it's the great way to start it.

It starts off with a bang.

Eventually they work to steal a car from a train,

they worked with Vince.

Vince comes back into the story.

Car has a location of 100 million dollars

that belongs to who?

The crime lord Reyes.

We all find out that Mia is pregnant.

This turned out like a soap opera.

So they assemble a team.

Han from part three.

Myself and Tyrese from part two.

Gisele from part four.

It's like a superhero group.

Now Luke Hobbs, Diplomatic Security Service agent,

he needs to arrest Dom, Mia, Brian and Vince.

So he's on the hunt.

And I'm talking about the worst guy in the world

you want looking for you.

Luke Hobbs and Dom get into a fight.

Hobbs eventually ends up arresting Dom.

Reyes attacks all of Hobbs team and Vince are killed.

Hobbs joins the team now.

He's a part of our crew for revenge on Reyes.

And if the story couldn't get any thicker,

there's an epic heist and a chase

with a vault tied to a car.

At the end of the car chase my man Hobbs kills Reyes.

Right when Hobbs thinks he's going to walk away

with this big vault of money...

Ha!

Dom and Brian tricked him and they get away with it.

And at the end, credit scene,

there's an inkling that Letty is still alive.

(upbeat music)

Fast and Furious 6.

There's a guy by the name of Owen Shaw that is introduced,

creating a dangerous device.

So dangerous that Luke Hobbs is looking for Owen Shaw.

What's the only way to find him?

To recruit the team that helped him take down

the individuals in the last movie.

Our team.

Shaw performs a heist.

Dom and our entire team are trying to stop him,

and he has this amazing car

that makes a bunch of other cars in his way flip over.

So Letty arrives, shoots Dom.

It's just confusion for the entire audience.

We find out that something is going on with her,

she has amnesia.

So now she's working for the opposite team.

And doesn't remember Dom all the way.

Shaw needs a computer chip to complete his device.

And Shaw's crew they steal a tank and they steal the chip,

but Dom and crew catch him.

Dom saves Letty's life from a tank crash.

Letty joins Dom's team.

Her memory is starting to come back.

Shaw escapes and gets the chip.

Damn!

The crew goes to Shaw's airplane.

There's a huge fight that's going on on the plane.

Cars driving around the side.

But in the midst of those fights

Gisele dies to save Han's life.

All in the name of love.

Dom fights Shaw, gets the chip,

Dom trades the chip to Hobbs for full pardons,

all the way around.

(upbeat music)

Furious 7.

Deckard Shaw.

Owen Shaw's brother.

He comes back for revenge.

He killed Han in Tokyo Drift.

It is revealed that we understand that now.

Deckard blows Dom's house up.

Dom goes to find God's Eye,

a computer program that can locate Deckard.

This chip and device is very, very bad in the wrong hands.

Because it can basically locate anyone at anytime.

And someone else who is looking for God's Eye

is a guy by the name of Mose Jakande.

Mercenary, who has God's Eye's creator, Ramsey.

She is being held hostage.

So the whole crew parachutes cars from the sky.

We find Ramsey and she's the one who leads us

to where God's Eye is at.

The whole crew goes to Dubai,

and there's this great action scenes

of a car jumping from building to building.

And we finally get it and we locate Deckard.

So Jakande chases the crew with the helicopter and drone

because Jakande really just wants to catch Ramsey,

who created this God's Eye device,

and she could possibly create another one,

but he currently has it.

And by the way, during this time Dom and Deckard Shaw

are having insane fist fight.

Jakande betrays Deckard.

Jakande shoots a missile at Deckard Shaw,

and a whole damn parking garage

just collapses underneath him.

Dom kills Jakande with a bag of grenades.

So we wiped this guy out of there, get him out.

Dom dies, does he die?

The whole audience thinks he's dead.

Letty gets her memory back at the end.

Letty wills Dom back to life.

You know why?

Because love conquers all.

Deckard goes to jail and Brian retires.

Alright everybody, my job is done here.

Make sure you go see The Fate of the Furious.

Great action scenes, great cars, great cast,

and there's sense of family,

but this time around Dom has gone rouge on us.

Signing out.

I'm Chris Ludacris Bridges and I'll see you guys again soon.
