10 Movies Fast & Furious Fans Will Love (and Where to Watch Them)

Paul Walker? Check. Speedy car action? Check. If you loved the Fast & Furious movies, you’re going to enjoy Joy Ride. In the film, a group of friends piss off a psychotic trucker while driving through the desert and are then forced to outrun him… or lose their lives. Joy Ride is great for anyone who wants a more suspenseful twist on a car movie.

Look, I know that Fast & Furious is “cool” and “manly”, but let’s be real here… it’s also campy AF. But that’s not a bad thing. Sometimes the best movies are the ones that are purely and absolutely chaotic. For an even campier and crazier movie about high-speed chases, check out the Wachowski’s take on Speed Racer. It’s fast, colorful, wacky, funny, and truly unique.

A remake of the 1974 classic, Gone in 60 Seconds follows Nicolas Cage as he attempts to steal valuable cars for a crime boss who is holding his brother hostage. If you like all the action, explosions, guns, and crime of the Fast & Furious movies, you’re gonna love this cheesy 2000 hit.

What happens when Quentin Tarantino crafts a movie centered around his love of classic cars? You get Death Proof. In the movie, a group of girls are speeding through Texas in a ‘71 Dodge Challenger… but they’re being stalked by a murderous stuntman driving an old-school stunt car designed for carnage. Car lovers and action fans will both love Death Proof.

Sure, Twisted Metal is a TV series and not a movie, but if you’re a Fast & Furious fan, you need to watch it. The show is inspired by the iconic video game franchise and takes place in a post-apocalyptic America where warring factions drive tricked-out automobiles designed for bloodshed. If you thought Fast & Furious was full of wild cars, just wait until you see the auto madness of Twisted Metal.

You know the story: Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are trapped in a bus that’s been rigged with an explosive. The bomb will explode if the bus’ speed drops below 50 mph. Like all proper ‘90s action movies, Speed is truly ridiculous and stupid, but oh soooo much fun. If you love great action movies set in automobiles, this is a must-watch.

Now You See Me isn’t a car movie, and oddly enough it’s actually about a team of magicians. But the film centers around a great heist and the way the team assembles and uses their various personalities and talents feels very much like the Fast & Furious movies. The film received great reviews and grossed over $351 million at the box office, becoming a surprise hit.

All true Fast fans hold a place for Paul Walker in their hearts. The actor and star of the franchise tragically died in a car accident in 2013. The documentary I Am Paul Walker gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at Walker’s life, including his childhood, his life off-camera, and his acting career from movies like Varsity Blues to his breakout role in The Fast and The Furious.

Love the action and danger of all the speeding cars in the Fast movies? Then you’ll definitely enjoy Unstoppable, a movie about a runaway freight train that’s barreling down the tracks at full speed. Even worse, in a nearby city the track makes a hard turn that, at the speed it’s going, will derail the train, killing hundreds. A team of experts must race against time to stop the locomotive before it causes widespread destruction.

In the future, a prison earns money by streaming “death races” online, where inmates compete in tricked-out cars for their freedom… or death. Starring Jason Statham, the movie is the kind of bonkers testosterone fest that Fast fans are looking for. Plus, it even has Fast star Tyrese Gibson in the cast.
