The Fast And The Furious: A Musical Parody At The Bell House
After multiple sold out runs in LA, the world's boldest baldest musical is coming to New York for the first time ever!
Come watch your favorite car-driving gang members battle their greatest foe yet– singing and dancing at the same time.
In this unauthorized parody that is in no way connected to the very profitable Universal property, Dominic Toretto and his team (The Rock, Tyrese, Michelle Rodriguez, and Ludacris) do what they do best: commit crimes. And what they do second best: solve crimes. And what they do third best: harmonize.
Join Dominic on an existential journey inward where he confronts life's hard questions: What does it mean to be a good person? Does the rightness or wrongness of an action depend on its consequence, or whether it fulfills the categorical imperative? Why can't you marry a car?
With all original music and a new twist on the story, this part parody/part love-letter to THE BEST MOVIE FRANCHISE EVER is for both fans of the series and people who've never seen a movie.
If you want to watch one of the films to prepare, we suggest ALL OF THEM *but actually the 8th movie, The Fate of the Furious.
Netflix Just Got The First 6 'Fast And Furious' Movies — Here's ...
"Fast & Furious" is one of Hollywood's biggest blockbuster franchises, crammed full of flashy cars, ridiculous stunts, and Vin Diesel monologues about the importance of family. And there's good news for anybody wanting to enjoy the Fast Saga from the very start: From today (Nov. 12), the first six movies in this epic action series are streaming on Netflix.
While the franchise has gone seriously off the boil in recent installments (last year's "Fast X" was a lowlight alongside 2021's very underwhelming "F9"), there's no denying that when it's at its best the "Fast & Furious" franchise is capable of delivering nitro-propelled thrills. So whether you're looking to get behind the wheel for the first time or you're an experienced driver already, these are the three "Fast & Furious" movies you should watch on Netflix…
'The Fast and the Furious' (2001)Considering where the franchise would eventually go ("F9" sees members of the team literally drive a modified car into space) the first movie now feels rather quaint in comparison. 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" is very much a product of its time with questionable 2000s fashion, garish neon bodywork and oversized spoilers aplenty, but it's also just the right amount of cheese, and considering it kickstarted a super series, you have to give it some respect.
You may likeBefore Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew were breaking into high-security vaults and squaring off against armored tanks, they could be found hijacking trucks full of DVD players. The saga begins with street racing newbie Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) joining Dom's inner circle and quickly falling for his sister Mia (Jordana Brewster). But what Dom doesn't know is that the man he's now starting to see as a brother is actually an undercover cop who is investigating local hijackings. But Brian's alliances are slowly shifting and he becomes torn between his duty as a cop and the new family he's found.

'Fast Five' (2011)By the fifth entry, most franchises are running on fumes so it's quite remarkable that the best F&F movie came in the form of "Fast Five". This flick marked the series' transformation from a street racing showcase to a full-on action blockbuster extravaganza. "Fast Five" also added Dwayne Johnson to the mix, who proved to be an extremely suitable foil for Dom, Brian and the gang. While later installments would attempt to replicate the formula for success found in "Fast Five" (with "Fast X" the most clear example) none have been as successful. To date, this remains the very pinnacle of the "Fast & Furious" franchise.
Still on the run from authorities, Dom (Vin Diesel), Brian (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) find themselves in Rio de Janeiro. Hatching an audacious plan to rob a corrupt businessman (Joaquim de Almeida), and secure their freedom, they must assemble an elite team of racers to complete a seemingly impossible heist. But on their tail is a relentless federal agent (Johnson) who will stop at nothing to bring Dom and his family to justice.

'Fast & Furious 6' (2013)Following up the juggernaut success of "Fast Five" was always going to be a tall order but credit to returning director Justin Lin as he got mighty close with "Fast & Furious 6". At this point, the series has fully shed its focus on car culture and is instead all about the over-the-top action sequences, and "Fast & Furious 6" has plenty of them. My personal favorite is the moment that Dom and his team face off against a tank while speeding down a highway. The grand finale which takes place on a ludicrously long airport runway is also another highlight.
Still living as fugitives (but at least rich fugitives following the conclusion of "Fast Five"), Dom and his crew are given the chance at full pardons in exchange for helping Agent Hobbs (Johnson) apprehend the leader of a deadly mercenary organization, Owen Shaw (Luke Evans). This already challenging mission soon becomes personal for Dom when he discovers that Shaw's second-in-command is his former lover previously thought dead, Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez).

New 'Fast & Furious'-Inspired Movie Is Apparently Mostly ... - Jalopnik
By Collin Woodard March 29, 2025 10:25 am EST"Reacher" — the show, not the Tom Cruise movie — is one of the best things currently on television. Sure, Alan Ritchson is too short to play an accurate Reacher, but at least he gets closer than Maverick ever will. The downside is, it's on Prime Video, and ole Bezos will stuff an ad into anything. Usually they're easy to ignore, but last night, one of them was a trailer for a new movie clearly inspired by the "Fast & Furious" franchise. I barely caught anything related to the plot, but I saw expensive cars driving fast and thought to myself, "I bet some of our readers would love to hear about a new movie where expensive cars drive fast."
So I started Googling, which is a lot harder when the only word you remember from the title is "London." I'm a master Googler, though, and soon enough, I found it — "My Fault: London." Nice. Then it was onto Rotten Tomatoes, where there was no Tomatometer score yet, but the Popcornmeter (audience score) was 87 percent. So either it was a surprisingly well-done "Fast & Furious" ripoff, or it was actually a good movie. Either way, things were looking promising for a good, old-fashioned Jalopnik car movie review.
Still naive and full of innocence, I scrolled down a little further and saw the first critic's review. According to Variety, "This slightly-toned-down English-language version plays as if a teen Jackie Collins wrote an illicit romance between two cantankerous step-siblings set in the worlds of 'The Fast and the Furious' and 'Never Back Down.' If that sounds chaotically messy, it's because it is." I mean, I do love mess, cheesy fighting movies and "The Fast and the Furious." Wait, what was that about step-siblings?
As it turns out, while there are definite "Fast & Furious" influences, the movie is mostly about two step-siblings doing the nasty. Clapping cheeks. Forming the beast with two backs. It's listed as a romance, so I assume the step-siblings also fall in love, which I guess should make it better in theory. Allegedly. At least there's no actual sibling-love like in "The White Lotus?" There are two episodes of that show left, and I'm really not sure I want to watch either of them, even if Loch really does tell his parents he chose NC State over Duke or Chapel Hill.
Then again, there aren't really any cars in "The White Lotus," either. "Help Me: Step-Bro," on the other hand, is full of them. I also don't have any step-siblings to make this any weirder than it already is. So here's the deal: I'm willing to watch and review this movie, but I won't do it for free. It probably shouldn't be cash, but charity donations in my name, a building dedicated in my honor or even a nicely PhotoShopped image where it looks like Reacher and I are best friends might do it. Just gotta make it worth the psychic damage I'll take while sitting through all... Wait, 119 minutes? This movie is almost two hours long? Might have to make that two buildings.
