Fast X star Sung Kang recently shared his take on who he believes is the best driver in the entire Fast & Furious franchise. Kang, who portrayed street racer Han Lue in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, has since appeared in several other installments alongside franchise stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson.
In an interview with Insider, Kang named Walker as the best driver in the franchise. He also shared his thoughts on who he believes is the worst driver among the cast of Fast X. Check out Kang's full statement below:
Paul Walker: The Best Driver
When it comes to driving skills, Paul Walker was the stand-out performer. As a passionate lover of motorsports, he spent countless hours on the track, honing his craft and pushing his limits. His dedication and natural talent made him the best driver among the cast.
As for the worst driver, it's hard to say. Every driver has their own unique skillset, and everyone has their moments of weakness. In the movie, all of the characters experience their fair share of crashes and mishaps, highlighting the fact that even the best drivers can make mistakes.
Ultimately, driving isn't just about speed and power - it's also about control and precision. Learning how to stop a car quickly and safely is just as important as knowing how to go fast. And that's a lesson that all of the characters in the movie had to learn the hard way.
Paul Walker's Fast & Furious Legacy Explained
Walker's portrayal of Brian O'Conner in The Fast and the Furious was the driving force behind the franchise's success. He reprised his role in every film, except for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, until his untimely death in 2013. To honor his legacy, Furious 7 underwent extensive reshoots to give Brian a fitting farewell, and to pay tribute to the late actor.
Brian's contributions to the Fast & Furious franchise are nothing short of iconic. He played a pivotal role in some of the most memorable moments, such as flipping a bus with a Dodge Charger in Fast Five and building jumping with a Lykan Hypersport alongside Dom Toretto in Furious 7. It's evident that Brian was an integral part of the Fast & Furious family, and his departure in Furious 7 was a heartfelt tribute to the late actor.
Even though he's no longer with us, Brian's legacy lives on through his nephew, Little Brian, who was named after him. Kang's comments about Brian's driving skills further emphasize how much he's missed and how important he was to the franchise. Despite the tragedy of his passing, it's clear that the cast of Fast X still hold a special place in their hearts for Brian and will continue to honor him as the Fast Saga comes to a close.
