17 Crazy Facts You Just Have To Accept To Enjoy The Fast & Furious Franchise

13. That Infamous Stare & Drive Scene (2 Fast 2 Furious)

When Brian is in his car with undercover Customs agent Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes), there's a now-infamous scene in which she tells him to keep his eyes on the road, which he takes as a challenge to mean that he can't operate a vehicle with his eyes averted. To this end, Brian then speeds along the road while keeping his eyes firmly fixed on Monica, who remains surprisingly calm as Brian bombs it down the street before finally coming to a stop, much to Roman's (Tyrese) disdain. Numerous crass Internet jokesters ensured to repost a GIF of the scene in the wake of Walker's death, but even for those with no intent of mocking the late actor, it's difficult to watch that scene from the movie without wincing a little, considering the reckless nature of his death and how life appeared to imitate art, albeit with a decidedly more realistic outcome. It's just another reason why 2 Fast 2 Furious is pretty painful to watch.
