It's hard to imagine a version of the Fast & Furious franchise that doesn't boast the eternally badass Michelle Rodriguez speeding through the streets or throwing down with various baddies as Letty.

But back when that first Fast feature was in production, there was actually a potential storyline that very nearly resulted in the actor leaving the series there and then.

Said plotline would have involved Letty cheating on "alpha-est of the alpha males" Dom with "cute boy" Brian.

However, as she told The Daily Beast, Rodriguez just didn't see this as something her character would realistically do. So, after a few tears and threatening to leave the series before the first film had even landed in theatres, the call was made to scrap this love triangle idea.

That wasn't the only thing Rodriguez pushed for during the making of the first Fast and Furious film either.

That punch she threw during the Race Wars sequence? That was something the actor fought to get into the movie "because they didn’t think a girl would ever get involved."

And Letty has been kicking all of the ass ever since.
