In Vin’s short film prelude to Fast & Furious, which was given the same name as this song, we are shown to how Dominic Toretto hooks up with three members of his gang leading into Fast & Furious (Don Omar & Tego Calderon the two rappers responsible for the song). The slow pan around the “Hammer” with this track blaring through the speakers to reveal Dom, I still vividly remember the loud cheers from the audience when I saw the flick on the big screen. When Don Omar’s Los Bandeleros slowly faded in before the big reveal of Vin Diesel’s cameo in Tokyo Drift, the track made you feel like something special was about to happen. LOS BANDOLEROS – DON OMAR & TEGO CALDERON (FAST & FURIOUS/FAST & FURIOUS 6) Until then, here’s to appreciating a blast from the past:ġ. Recently the franchise has evolved into a balls to the wall action filled opus in which an all out action filled score can finally be incorporated, can’t wait to get more of that with this newest film. For the first three films, one of the things that have stood out are the familiar and sometimes new songs that varied from rap to rock that capture the lifestyle these characters live. The first film hit the scene in 2001 and many of the fans of the films have loved every single one because they have allowed themselves to turn off their brains and appreciate the fun these films have to offer.
The Fast and the Furious franchise has been an interesting beast for over a decade now. Whether it be a musical band or a composer, soundtracks help our favorite movies stay etched in our mind forever. They can make us cry, they can pump us up, they can make us remember the 80’s. Soundtracks enhance the movie going experience. Then comes the wonderful world of post-production. It all starts with a story (according to what every How-To book on screenwriting tells us), there is the director and his crew, there are the actors, who bust their asses to bring a vision to life.
There are many things that make a movie what it is.
