With a lot of established movie franchises in Hollywood, one that has always served the petrolheads is the Fast and Furious movies. The franchise has evolved over the years with some ups and downs along the road. One of the major setbacks was the untimely death of Paul Walker in 2013. 

Even if you have never watched a Fast and Furious movie you must be aware that you are in for some adrenaline-filled thrilling action scenes. But if are considering going on a binge-watch marathon before the release of the upcoming Fast X Part-2 it can be extremely confusing and the titles won’t help you either (in fact they can be hella confusing).

Ok now don’t scratch your head, we know movies are supposed to be a fun experience and hence we have simplified the list of all Fast and Furious movies in order for you. 

Fast and Furious Movies in Chronological Order:

The first movie to introduce the world to the drag racing culture with the loved characters of Brian O’Connor, played by Paul Walker, and Dominic Toretto, played by Vin Diesel. Fast and Furious franchise always will be on top of the list of best movies of Paul Walker, and Vin Diesel movies.
