I saw the original movie in the theater and I was just a fan." Having joined the franchise in 2006, Morgan is one of the most tenured members on the Fast team, and he’s personally responsible for every Corona reference the movies have made since the original. He continues to bake them into his scripts for one primary reason: precedent. "They branded themselves [in the original]," Morgan says. "‘If you’re gonna fit in with our crew, this is what our crew does.’" When he first got to write for Dom in the fourth installment, Fast & Furious (Diesel appears in only the waning seconds of Tokyo Drift), Morgan used the mention and presence of Corona to show that while years have passed, the characters haven’t changed. He achieved the same effect, wrapping continuity into nostalgia, with a barbecue scene that closes Fast & Furious 6 — and dutifully mirrors the barbecue scene of the original Fast, beer and all. ‘Fast & Furious 6,’ 2013 (Universal Pictures) This is the last Fast film with Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner, as Walker died during the time of its filming. Furious 7 ends with an emotional farewell to Brian/Walker. And yet, according to everyone we spoke to, Corona doesn’t even pay to be in the movies. "On all the stuff I’ve ever done, I don’t believe there ever was [a deal with Corona]," says Morgan. "The truth is we write it in there. We talk about it. It’s what it’s going to be, and not for any business reasons. It’s part of Dom’s character. It just is."

Half empty bottles of nitrous oxide are fitted under the passenger seats of Brian's '69 Yenko& Roman's '70 Challenger as to serve as ejector seats. However, only Roman's seat works, while Brian's does not, because the engine is turned off.If you were to poll people that saw these movies — ‘What kind of brand did you see in the movie?’ — a large percentage would say Corona," he continues. "It’s got a brand association with the franchise." It’s been an honor to have Corona Extra play a part in pop culture history with the Fast and the Furious franchise over the years," a spokesperson for the company told The Ringer in an official statement. "While we had no formal agreement with the production company, we were aware of the incorporation of Corona into several of the films." ‘Fast & Furious,’ 2009 (Universal Pictures) They were one of the companies that was smart enough to get in with us at the ground floor," Cohen adds. Whether the company actually foresaw the success of Fast or just didn’t see the point in denying any movie’s outright endorsement of their product, the decision to allow Corona to be featured in The Fast and the Furious has developed into a profitable one.

The Fast & Furious franchise became what it is today — a billion-dollar box-office juggernaut, with seven sequels and at least two more to come — in part because the movies embraced their absurdity. They drive cars through skyscrapers, make 100-foot leaps into ravines, and drive bank vaults through Rio, stripping themselves of all self-seriousness and adherence to the laws of physics. But beneath the nonsensical stunts and the utter disappearance of the threat of death, when everything gets boiled down, the Fast movies remain focused on a family of misfit thrill-seekers who sit around a table drinking beer — almost always Corona — together well after the sun goes down. That truth layers emotion behind every stunt and every illogical plot development and engenders loyalty from the audience. For more than a decade and a half, the Fast & Furious franchise has ripped, roared, and pressed every last NOS button on its way to action-franchise preeminence.

Tran, however, activates his NOS, which is far more plentiful and powerful in his car, allowing Tran to easily win. After completing their tunnel run, Dominic turns the cap on a container of NOS, as well as turning on the cigarette lighter in his 1970 Chevelle SS. This causes all the cars next to it, including Brian's Skyline, to explode, giving the distraction Dom and Brian need to escape.
