How long to watch all of Fast & Furious? 20 hrs 44

· 3 min read

The Fast & Furious saga has 10 released films, 20 hrs 44 in total, spread from 2001 to 2023. One more film is announced and is not counted here: a total has to be reachable.

The full checklist: Fast & Furious, movies and shows, in release and chronological order

This total leaves out the Hobbs & Shaw spin-off (2019). The Fast & Furious universe page counts it: 11 films, 23 hrs 01.

That is the equivalent of 11 evenings of two hours. But the median film runs 130 minutes, over two hours: in practice, plan one evening per film.

In release order

And to close: F9 (2 hrs 25), Fast X (2 hrs 21).

In chronological order

  • 2001 — The Fast and the Furious — 1 hr 47
  • 2003 — 2 Fast 2 Furious — 1 hr 47
  • 2009 — Fast & Furious — 1 hr 47
  • 2011 — Fast Five — 2 hrs 10
  • 2013 — Fast & Furious 6 — 2 hrs 10
  • 2006 — The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift — 1 hr 44
  • 2015 — Furious 7 — 2 hrs 17
  • 2017 — The Fate of the Furious — 2 hrs 16

Then: F9 (2 hrs 25), Fast X (2 hrs 21).

Which order should you pick?

Chronological, for an unusual reason: the saga itself adopted it. 'Tokyo Drift' came out third but takes place after the sixth film — and the saga caught up with it by replaying its final scene in 'Fast & Furious 6', six years later. Following release order therefore means seeing a conclusion before its set-up. This is one of the rare cases where the disorder is not a fan debate but a correction the studio owned.

Is Fast & Furious worth the marathon?

Twenty and three quarter hours for ten films, eleven evenings — as many as Star Wars, for a saga that started as a low-budget street-racing film. Twenty-two years of production, and an escalation few franchises own this openly: from stealing DVD players to saving the planet. You can find it absurd; it is at any rate perfectly consistent with itself, which is rarer than it sounds.

Who it is for

For whoever wants a saga that owns its escalation and asks no memory effort between films. For anyone who accepts eleven evenings for a pleasure that claims nothing else. If you expect the first three films to foreshadow the rest, they do not: the saga changed nature after the fourth, and that is where it becomes what people know.
