40 Most Ridiculous Moments In The Fast & Furious Franchise

31. The Hilariously Dated CGI Car Chases (The First Four Movies)

If there's one aspect of the first four movies which has aged horribly, it's the propensity for CGI-fueled car chases, be it the insanely cheesy "Nitrous cam" (in which the view from the driver's cockpit would appear blurry once they activate Nitrous, in a lame effort to imply a huge sense of speed), or simply the preference to construct most of the chases on a computer rather than, you know, just filming them with real cars. 2 Fast 2 Furious and Fast & Furious particularly suffer with this, and in the case of the former, the effects can be shamed by pretty much any half-decent video game of the era. Did they really thing this was good enough, or even a good idea in the first place? Thankfully, the semi-reboot that was Fast Five completely upended this style, using CGI largely for physically impractical stunt-work instead.
