History YMMV / TheFastAndTheFurious

** ''A todo gas''. [[labelnote:Explanation]] The MarketBasedTitle for the film in UsefulNotes/{{Spain}} (though strictly speaking, it's actually a case of TheForeignSubtitle), and among [[UsefulNotes/LatinAmerica Latin Americans]] is considered part of the country's unholy trinity of BlindIdiotTranslation alongside [[Manga/DragonBall Onda Vital (Kamehameha)]] and [[Franchise/XMen Lobezno (Wolverine)]].[[/labelnote]]

** The "Remember when they used to steal DVD players" meme, since it was actually ''VHS'' players. Which actually makes the SerialEscalation even worse.

** In a similar vein, the "''A todo gas''" meme in Latin America, which holds that purportedly the first film was released under that name in Spain, and is usually held as an example of BlindIdiotTranslation. In reality, the first film was released in Spain as ''The Fast and the Furious: A todo gas'', meaning that if anything it was actually a case of TheForeignSubtitle, and while the second film largely retained the same format (''2 Fast 2 Furious: A todo gas 2''), it was dropped by the time of ''Film/TheFastAndTheFuriousTokyoDrift'' (which was titled ''The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo '''Race''''), and since ''Film/FastAndFurious'', it has simply titled the films "''Fast & Furious'' [number of entry]", and ironically, it has retained that format even when the original title strayed away from the franchise's name (such as ''Furious 7'' and ''The Fate of the Furious'' being simply titled ''Fast & Furious 7'' and ''Fast & Furious 8'').

* CommonKnowledge: The "Remember when they used to steal DVD players" meme, since it was actually ''VHS'' players. This actually makes the SerialEscalation being mocked even worse.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The early films were a loving revue of early-mid '00s extreme sports culture, especially tuner/car racing culture. Later films in the series (starting with the fourth) tend to be less obvious about it beyond the characters' choice of CoolCars, and seem to be more of an {{homage}} to the era. It may seem a bit bizarre that the original film's main conflict is over the theft of ''VHS players'', which not only went completely out of style, but are so old that most people [[CommonKnowledge misremember this detail]] and think it was DVD players (which themselves have mostly (but not completely) gone out of style a decade later in the face of emerging next-gen media formats like Blu-Ray).

** The fandom has pretty universally decided that the tenth movie needs to be titled ''[=Fas10=] Your Seatbelts''.

* EvilIsCool: As mentioned above, the Shaw brothers are considered the most badass villains in the franchise and are even considered among some of the best action movie villains in a long time.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Many felt that Deckard was too EasilyForgiven in the eighth movie. Sure, [[spoiler:he helped Dom rescue his infant son from a psychotic terrorist]], but he also [[spoiler:killed Han, having been revealed to be the Mercedes that rammed into Han's Madza RX-7 in the sixth movie]]. But then in the trailer for the ninth movie, it's revealed that ''[[spoiler:Han's still alive]]''.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: The 2006 PS2 and PSP game, made by Eutechnyx, though a bit cookie cutter, is an above-average open-world racing game set in Japanese expressways that basically combines ''Videogame/TokyoXtremeRacer'' with ''Videogame/NeedForSpeedUnderground'' (or ''Videogame/MidnightClub'').

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: ''Fast & Furious Crossroads'', despite being developed by acclaimed racing game developer Slightly Mad Studios and having of some the franchise's main actors among the cast, has been criticized for its weak and short story, heavy-handed linearity, [[ItsEasySoItSucks low difficulty]], [[DullSurprise bored voice acting]], dated graphics, bad controls, poor audio design, glitchy animations, GameBreakingBugs, and lack of features such as car customization, [[DrivingStick manual transmission]], different camera angles or even ''a speedometer'', all while being priced as a $60 AAA title. It drew comparison with Eutechnyx's 2013 ''Videogame/RideToHellRetribution'', especially how both Eutechnyx and Slightly Mad Studios were acclaimed racing game developers.

* DesignatedHero: Dom and his crew frequently use plans that cause massive collateral damage and put innocent people in danger, but the films gloss over any potential casualties. In ''Film/FastFive'' they flat out murder over a dozen police officers when they break into the police station and escape with the vault full of money, and the movie glosses over saying the police are all corrupt. And yet Dom insists that they aren't killers. To be fair, in the sixth film, Dom and the crew (plus Letty, whose on Owen Shaw's team) are shocked when Shaw hijacks a tank and begins running over people, leading them to try to stop him from hurting anyone else by stopping the tank.

* {{Narm}}: Creator/VinDiesel's constant turning around in a badass way can get silly after a while.

* MyRealDaddy: While the original movie was directed by Rob Cohen and the early films were written by Gary Scott Thompson, most people credit director Creator/JustinLin (with Creator/JamesWan also receiving some credit as of the seventh film) and writer Chris Morgan for really bringing the franchise to the heights its known for today.

** Everytime Creator/VinDiesel uses the word "Family" or educating other characters about TheBroCode.

** Fans comparing the earlier films to the later ones often comment something along the lines of, "Remember when this series was about stealing DVD players?"

* HilariousInHindsight: ''WebVideo/CinemaSins'' poked at the apparent overlap with ''Film/TheExpendables'' franchise with the introduction of [[spoiler:Creator/JasonStatham]]. Now ''Film/FuriousSeven'' one-upped them by adding [[spoiler:Creator/RondaRousey!]]
