50 free The Fast and the Furious (2001) trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Before the franchise went to space, The Fast and the Furious was a $38 million undercover-cop movie built from a Vibe magazine article about New York street racers. Rob Cohen relocated it to Los Angeles, Paul Walker pitched it as Days of Thunder meets Donnie Brasco, and a supporting actor named Vin Diesel had to be talked into playing Dominic Toretto. These 50 questions cover the film from the Civics at the port to the Chevelle in Baja: Brian's Eclipse and the ten-second car, the Supra, Dom's Charger, Race Wars, Johnny Tran, the railroad-crossing race. Then the production story: the actor the studio wanted as Toretto, the film Eminem chose instead, the actress Mia was written for, Roger Corman's title, 78 wrecked cars, Cohen's pizza cameo and the DVD that outsold everything but Pearl Harbor. The hard tier goes to the Wii port, the Paris screening and the San Bernardino airport. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something either way. Play it solo or print it for family movie night.
