The Fast and Furious saga: A chronological viewing guide. From humble street racing beginnings to global box office dominance, the Fast and Furious franchise boasts twelve films (nine main entries, one spin-off, and two shorts). This guide helps navigate its complex timeline. We'll exclude Fast & Furious: Spy Racers due to its minimal impact on the main narrative.
