What are some of the strangest facts about famous movies?

 Well! these facts are kinda shocking rather than strange.

So, last night i was watching The Fate of the furious,and i was wondering that how many cars these guys have destroyed/crashed/wrecked in Fast and the furious franchise.

So, i did my digging and found these astounding figures.

• The Fast and the furious (2001)

78 cars

• 2 fast 2 furious(2002)

130 cars

• The fast and the furious Tokyo drift (2006)

249 cars

• Fast and furious (2009)

190 cars

• Fast five (2011)

260 cars

• Fast and furious 6 (2013)

staggering…350 cars

• Furious 7 (2015)

230 cars

so,over the course of first 7 films The fast and the furious franchise destroyed 1487 cars.

Now if we talk about 8th film The fate of the furious, anyone who has watched this movie knows that the number of cars in this movie can outrun the no. of cars in its previous parts (separately).

• In an interview by Mighty Car Mods, Michael McCarthy of California’s Vehicle Effect (the company responsible for making some of the cars in the Fast and the Furious 8), said they built around 300 cars for a 5-6 month period — and that doesn’t include those other vehicles that were made and finished in other countries as well.
• He also added that the New York sequence alone used up around 200-300 cars during filming, which is way, over-the-top insane.

(New york car crash scene, movie : Fate of the furious (2017))

So, clearly these guys are talking large no. of cars here.

Some additional facts:

• Ever wondered how much it cost to ruin all those spectacular cars in the entire franchise?

Oh, just around half a billion dollars according to Insure the Gap — or $523,222,275 (33,47,55,13,435 INR ) to be exact.

• And the costliest car they ruined into smithereens? A Lykan Hypersport that Dominic Toretto ruined in the jaw-dropping Abu Dhabi skyscraper chase (Fast and Furious 7). Yes, we almost heard our jaws crack wide open on this one. And its price tag? Oh, just around $3,430,400 (21,94,75,367 INR)

That’s going to be one expensive Repair bill.

THANK YOU :)

PEACE.
