What ‘Fast And Furious’ Can Learn From Its Bollywood Counterpart

Does it make sense? Not in the slightest. Is it awesome? You’re damn right it is. But with the 9th installment of the franchise sending its characters to space and a 10th and an 11th movie still on the way, the Fast saga might be having a hard time trying to one-up its own level of insanity/awesomeness. (Or “insawesomeness” as we’re now calling it.) 

It’s why we talked last week about how people are pushing for a Fast and Furious/Jurassic Park Crossover. But there’s another alternative to upping the “awesanity” (not as good) if, for whatever reason, the executives over at Universal Pictures can’t strike a deal to get Dom Toretto gassing up his ride with literal fossil fuels. The Fast and Furious franchise can instead borrow from Bollywood, specifically, the Bollywood franchise Dhoom.

It’s only fair because the Dhoom franchise borrowed from the Fast saga first. The plot of the first Dhoom is basically the plot of the first Fast and Furious except with motorbikes instead of cars, and the insanity turned up to a 14. The movie franchises then diverge from there, but the level of insanity stays the same. I’m about to show you a scene from Dhoom 2 that is so incredibly nuts that it can’t be put into words, but I’ll try my best. A thief parachutes onto a moving train, containing the Queen of England and the Crown Jewels of the Royal Family. He then infiltrates the train in full-bodied makeup, costume, and prosthetics disguised as the queen, steals the crown somehow, and then escapes while using his sky-board to deflect bullets. Also, he uses the train as a jet ski.
