![]() ![]() as a teenager, Jakob went on to become a spy who works with the same kind of international bad guys Dom’s crew has been putting away since Fast Five. And the reason we’re hearing about him now is because, after being banished from East L.A. (Because we’re here for other reasons, we can’t spend too much time wondering why the Torettos decided to go with the German spelling of the name, but just know that the reason is definitely because screenwriters think a K is scarier than a C.) The reason we’ve never heard a word about Jakob before F9 is because he was apparently involved in the crash that killed Dom’s father, the accident that Dom talks about in the original Fast and the Furious. The most ridiculous part of F9 is the assertion that Vin Diesel and John Cena look alike.Ĭena is playing Jakob Toretto, Dom’s younger- 100 percent blood-brother. Nobody rigged up some sort of illusion à la The Prestige or Cardi B’s appearance or how Charlize Theron’s Cipher managed to go from dreadlocks to a bowl cut while in government custody. The most ridiculous part isn’t the way every member of the team seems to have a degree in electromagnetism or how they use magnets to destroy multiple cities and/or kill countless civilians or the fact that Han’s death is explained by saying he and Mr. They eventually link up with the International Space Station … by using nitrous oxide.īut that’s not the most ridiculous part of F9. Next thing you know, Roman and Tej are wearing ancient-looking spacesuits and breaking through the stratosphere. It’s unclear whether this is a job sanctioned by anyone-I’d imagine there’s a lot of red tape when it comes to space travel-but no matter: The point is that Roman and Tej need to get to space and these guys can get them there. Roman and Tej track down Sean Boswell, Twinkie, and Earl-three characters from Tokyo Drift who you may not even remember-at a test facility in Germany, where they’re working on installing rockets onto a Pontiac Fiero. In the ninth Fast & Furious movie, they fly a car in space. ![]()
