We're taking a "movie break" from the Dukes of Hazzard this episode and decided to focus our efforts on reviewing the very first movie of the "Fast" franchise, "The Fast and the Furious." Finnegan freaking loves this movie. Why? Because it is essentially an automotive version of another great movie, Point Break, and just replaces the surf boards with cars. Everything else literally lines up though. Here's the proof: Cop infiltrates the suspects lair by going undercover and winning his trust and friendship. (Check.) Cop ends up in falling in love with and bedding the bad guy's sister. (Check). Cop starts to see that the bad guy, while he does bad things, has his reasons. (Check.) Cop decides to let the bad guy have one last spiritual escape of surfing...er, drag racing, and then lets him go with apparently no consequences to his future law enforcement career. (Check.) Japanese front wheel drive hot rods litter this movie, and a '70 Dodge Charger with a totally fake blower becomes the mascot of a film franchise that will go on to rake in billions. They even have launched a live stunt show in the UK.
