PAUL WALKER
At the beginning of the movie he’s (Brian)
with the F.B.I. and not happy, because he
has become old and boring. He is pushing
pens and misses racing.It’s in my blood to
love speed; anything that has to do with
exhilaration. Couldn’t drive much in the
movie because I guess they couldn’t afford
me getting hurt, but the day I got to do some
stuff with the car I was like a kid in a candy
store. That was my favorite day of work.
VIN DIESEL
We were young rebels then; but now we are starting to get
a bit over the hill, quiet frankly. We have grown up. How do
you make a film about young rebels when you are not a
rebel or even that young anymore?My daughter was born
during the shoot and I have always been a kind of stoic
and independent person, but then I wanted to be home
every second to watch the little angel.
JORDANA BREWSTER
MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ
Lin brings story, emotional intensity and character building,
which some action films can lack. We saw it in Tokyo Drift
and now here, because there were more emotional elements
to the story than a bunch of egos and fast cars. Justin is a
dissector. There are many attractive things in the movie for
both the more and less feminine type. Some will enjoy watching
a man as masculine as Vin Diesel. The more tomboyish type of
women will also enjoy seeing some girls actually getting their
hands dirty!
I do like cars as long as I’m not driving,
because I am a pretty bad driver. And my
car is a disaster, the driver door is dented
and the back is a mess. I wouldn’t be able
to imagine myself in true life as part of a
care-racing gang like the one in the movie.
I have to admit that sometimes I look
at cars differently and think they were
influenced by the movie.
