He breaks into Hector's garage, but Vince and Dom have followed him. The next day, Hector buys parts for Honda Civics from Brian, and Brian gets suspicious. Vince continues to be angry with Dom's friendship with Brian, and Mia teases him. Later that day, Brian brings Dom a wrecked Toyota Supra with a powerful engine, and starts working in Dom's garage. They keep hearing about modified Honda Civics in the robberies. Truckers are getting nervous about the robberies, and the FBI are now involved. The next day Brian arrives at a police safehouse where his boss, Sgt. Vince is upset that Brian is back, and Mia breaks up with him. Dom yells at his gang, saying Brian was the only one to help him. Back at Dom's house, a party is in progress. He and his goons shoot up Brian's car, which explodes from the NOS (Nitrous Oxide) on board. The leader of this gang, Johnny Tran, admires Brian's car and refers to a race in the desert next month. Dom has researched Brian (getting his cover story), but as they chat, they are surrounded by uzi-wielding Chinese bikers, who escort them to an empty lot. ![]() Dom parks his car and flees on foot, and Brian helps him escape. The racers pick up a police alert on the scanner, and everyone flees. Dom wins, showing Brian superior driving and timing. Brian and Dom race with Johnny Tran (Rick Yune) and Edwin (Ja Rule). The spectators line the streets, lighting the way. Brian offers his car in a bet, and Dom's tech Jesse (Chad Lindberg) checks his car out. Brian meets Hector (Noel Gugliemi), and they wait for Dom. That night, racers gather for street racing. His girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) begs Dom to break it up, who does so, threatening to get Brian fired.

If this sounds like something you’d like to sink your teeth into, sink your butt into a comfy place and get ready. This is also just a fun project to be involved with, as many of us have paid to watch the movies over the years instead of the other way around. It’s a fun story, even if the financial payout isn’t as lucrative as some might hope. That said, there will likely be no shortage (literally dozens!) of people lined up to watch the movies. There’s so much going on in some movie scenes that there will be plenty of stop-rewind action for anyone trying to make sense of things. Making $1,000 to watch more than 20 hours of film comes out to less than $50 an hour – still a decent wage, but it’s not like anyone is going to be able to watch them all straight through. Sounds like a sweet gig, right? The truth likely won’t be so sweet for the selected viewer. The lucky at-least-18-year-old couch potato gets $1,000 for their service and $100 for snacks and movie tickets. FinanceBuzz also wants to track if the number and dollar amount of wrecked cars increased or decreased through the films. This is a publicity stunt, to be sure, but the site said it’s looking to track all the damage caused to cars in the movies to prepare for an upcoming story on insurance rates. FinanceBuzz wants to make watching the movies a lucrative endeavor and is offering $1,000 for someone to watch all 10 movies and report back on the carnage. As a gearhead, it’s easy to get lost watching hours of the " Fast and the Furious" movies, but for many of us, life – kids, spouses, yardwork, actual work – gets in the way. ![]()
