Most franchises run out of gas as they churn out more sequels, but in the case of Fast & Furious, the movies have grown more ambitious and a bit more ridiculous with each installment, so let's take a look back at this most unlikely of franchises and rank its 11 entries.

11. 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Coming off the surprise success of 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, a sequel was a no-brainer. Unfortunately, the decision to move forward without Vin Diesel on the marquee also demonstrated a serious lack of brains. Though Paul Walker returned and Tyrese Gibson did yeoman’s work as Walker’s new muscley sidekick, the edgy magic of the original cast was hard to recreate, even with Eva Mendes and the always appealing Ludacris added to the mix.

10. Fast X (2023)

The beginning of the end brings with it a lot of baggage. Fast X had a lot of setting up to do, while also needing to follow through on what came before. So there was all that, while shuffling directors halfway through production. So it’s easy to call Fast X messy, but somehow it still came out fun, mostly thanks to Jason Momoa who bursts into the Fast franchise in a blaze of glory, quickly rising to the top of the Best Villains list. Thankfully, at least one (or maybe two) more movies will feature Momoa’s Dante as the lead villain, as he attempts to make Dom and his family suffer. Unfortunately, Fast X itself suffers from perhaps the most aggregious error a Fast movie can make: It has no truly iconic action set piece.
