The ‘Fast and Furious‘ franchise with its series of action films have got the attention of people; especially a good number of car enthusiasts.

The franchise started way back to 2001. The stunts pulled in Fast and Furious films make the whole thing more interesting.

Crazy driving comes with a price; as the stunts got crazier, more cars were rendered unusable.

It’s no surprise that more than 1500 cars have been destroyed since the very first film, ‘The Fast and the Furious‘ (2001).

‘Fast Five’ (2011) dismissed a total of 260 cars just like that.

Around 300 to 400 cars were said to be destroyed in ‘Fast and Furious 6‘ (2013) alone. Some were ran over; got crushed; thrown down from plane and some got blown up.

‘Furious 7‘ (2015) recorded a number around 230 cars; it completely destroyed a $3.4 million Lykan HyperSport, one of the most expensive cars in the world. Universal franchise’s picture car coordinator, Dennis McCarthy, revealed this.

To save cost, some of the expensive car models featured in the films was replicas built by manufacturers or production crew just for filming purpose.

Below are some expensive cars that got destroyed in the films

Na only tyres dem dey burn for Nollywood. The major objective of many producers here in Naija is to reduce production cost to its bearest minimum, Windscreen maybe shattered, dents maybe inflicted on the body of the cars. They dare not risk destroying a full/complete recent car otherwise the production cost will be high.

Corolla don damage this one mentality.

Behind the scene pics or videos of the damaged cars would have been more captivating.
I love the F&F franchise.

Those cars destroyed in the movie were not real cars.

The cost of one of the cars alone is the total production budget for three top Nollywood movies

There's no basis for comparison.
America manufacturers cars from scratch, mining rock ores to get metal to produce steel sheets/plates, pressed into shape to produce cars. Engine, tyres, everything.
For them, manufacturing cars is like how we tap Palm Wine from trees.
They can waste as many as they like.

I thought I will see the destroyed cars not just pictures of the clean cars.
