Director Louis Leterrier teases that a street race in Fast X will be different from those in past Fast & Furious movies because of one big twist.
Fast X director Louis Leterrier teases that the upcoming Fast & Furious sequel will be putting a dramatic twist on the franchise's typical street race. After the Fast & Furious franchise first got its start back in 2001, Fast X will serve as the penultimate installment, pitting Dominic Toretto and his crew against a new villain in the form of Jason Momoa's Dante.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ahead of Fast X release date next month, Leterrier reveals in an interview with Empire that at least one street race in the film will feature a twist on what one would expect from a regular street race. Namely, he explains, it will play out vertically, although he doesn't explain what exactly that means.
“There are many ways of doing quarter-mile races. We’re doing a vertical quarter-mile race, which is very interesting…”Fast X's Vertical Street Race Explained Quarter-mile street races have been a part of the Fast & Furious franchise since its inception over 20 years ago, and there have been a number of variations made to the formula in the years since. A "vertical quarter-mile" race, however, sounds truly unlike anything the film series has done before.
Instead of somehow driving vertically up a building, it seems more likely that Leterrier could be referring to an elevation-based street race. Instead of calculating the race's quarter-mile distance by how much pavement the cars cover, perhaps the race is to see how quickly the contestants can reach a point that is a quarter of a mile above or below sea level.
It remains to be seen what a vertical street race actually is, but audiences can likely rest assured that it won't involve rocket-powered cars blasting off into the sky like in F9: The Fast Saga. Glimpses of a street race are shown off in the Fast X trailer, but, at least from what is shown, the race does appear to be more typical in nature.
