Prepare to go back in time, just before the Fast and Furious has turned into the Dukes of Hazard international. For better or worse some of the quotes from the first few installments of the F&F have become normal usage in the automotive tuner import scene. This our list of the ten most quotable one-liners from the Fast and the Furious.
8. "Life’s simple. You make choices and you don’t look back." - Han Lue
from The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
One the most heartbreaking scenes in the franchise is when the more experienced Han gives his wisdom to the misguided Sean Boswell in the third installment of the franchise.
7. “Ejecto seato, cuz !” – Roman Pearce
From the 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) ( The Fast and the Furious 2 )
In the scene, Roman beats up his passenger and ejects him from the car leaving him behind to roll around in the lake. Roman was a great fit for the Fast & Furious franchise as the much needed character to play to role of the comic relief fit right in his place.
6. "Too soon, Junior." - Johnny Tran
from The Fast and The Furious (2001)
The fast in furious was famous for turning a family sedan into a highly desirable sports car . I’ve heard it from many friends and used it many times as well. I doesn’t matter if you’re racing playing a game or trying to hook up with a chick. Ah… Anyway… The epic scene took place when the savage S2000 just beat Jesse’s vr6 Jetta, just because he used his nitrous too early, as we all know you push the button that says nitrous and magic happens. This has a lot to do with reality actually as vw has a practice of developing engines that usually have 80% power available by 2000 rpm, while the Honda relies on the last few dials of the revmeter. Another epic line from this scene is “Don't do it Jesse. I bet you he's got over 20 stickers on that car.”
5. "Money will come and go. We all know that. The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here, right now." - Dom Toretto
from the Fast Five (2011)
I guess the time comes when friends try to use you and then backstab because of their own insecurities but only the valuable ones will remain. The time will filter everything.
4. “I want them all.” – Paul Walker
From the Fast and Furious 4
As a typical car guy Paul can’t make his mind about picking the best car. Each and everyone of them has its unique characteristics. Another great line from that movie is – “Pick your poison”. Yeah cars may be a money pit and a “timewater” but in the end nothing really matters. In the end Paul takes the cool Nissan GTR R34 . Who could resist a Nissan Skyline right ?
3.”Dude I almost had you !” – Paul Walker
From 2001 Fast and Furious
Torreto has just beat Brian and he has to take away his car, but to everyone’s surprise Paul wasn’t even remotely mad, he was still happy from all the rush that he had, especially when racing such a street legend that is Torreto’s character. In fact he had him, but his car fell apart just before the race was over.
2. "Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning." - Dom Toretto
from The Fast and The Furious (2001)
Dom is the alpha, he is literary the greatest of all time and he won’t let Brian to have his moment and pretty much makes sure this newbie, Brian, will know it well.
1. "I live my life a quarter mile at a time." - Dom Toretto
from The Fast and The Furious (2001)
This is what we really live for, that brief moment of freedom and adrenaline pumping action. This is what makes us alive ! Unfortunately not without its dangers. A few honorable mentions : "Ride or die", "If one day speed kills me, don’t cry because I was smiling." R.I.P. Paul !
