When the creators of the Fast And Furious franchise had conceived the idea for the first film, they would certainly not have dreamt of there being seven more installments after. Most of the reason for this is the surprisingly wide appeal of what would originally appear to be a genre that would interest only a niche audience. You would think that the only audiences the franchise would be able to garner are people who just love cars and racing, but the creators have mastered the art of incorporating the dramatic into all of that, hugely broad-basing their market.
