You Could Buy 200 Bugatti Chirons For The Price Of All The Damage Caused In The F&F Movie Series

An insurance company claims to have done the maths for how much damage is caused in the seven Fast & Furious movies that have been released so far, and these are big numbers
You Could Buy 200 Bugatti Chirons For The Price Of All The Damage Caused In The F&F Movie Series

If you’ve ever wondered how much money’s worth of damage has been caused in the Fast movie series, you’re in luck, because an insurance company has done the maths.

According to insurethegap.com, the seven films released to date have clocked up £419,446,914 in damage to cars, planes, helicopters, buildings, buses, tanks, trains and even motorbikes. It’s the good guys who’ve dealt the most destruction, too, being responsible for £261,108,631 of that figure.

We’re not entirely sure how the company has reached these numbers; the page gives no methodology and quotes no sources other than having worked with classic car consultant Nacho Llacer to estimate the monetary value of damage done to the rarer and older cars in the famous franchise, which draws to a close in April with the release of the final instalment, Fate of the Furious.

The most destructive character is Deckard Shaw, the major villain in Furious 7. Seeking revenge for the death of his brother in Fast & Furious 6, Shaw, played by Jason Statham, causes all kinds of hell in the series’ seventh instalment, amassing a frankly ridiculous £148,786,000 in insurance bills.

By comparison, crowd-pleaser Dom, a character defined by the awesome Vin Diesel, has ‘only’ caused £56,274,037’s worth of damage over the six films he has appeared in.

Tokyo Drift is the least destructive of all the films except for the original, which had a much lower budget for special effects, after all. Fast & Furious 6 is where the destruction really steps up a notch, from about £16-17m in Fast 5 to over £160m worth. In Furious 7, that figure apparently nudges £240m.

Elsewhere, the amount of ‘serious’ car damage has been steadily rising since the first film, with the exception of Tokyo Drift, which focused more on racing skill than blowing stuff up. The whole run of statistics makes for fun reading, and if you’re interested, the link is below.

I’m guessing that the price goes up each film?

The Fast and The Furious: couple of cars, a few windows…
Fast 7 (or whatever it is called): many cars, many floors of many buildings, explosions everywhere…

Fully how Tokyo Drift had a much lower budget, but was one of the best films in my opinion!

I’m guessing this was a “IF all the cars and things were actually destroyed, this would’ve been the damage worth”

It wasn’t even a replica. The car when it falls down the building is all CGI work.

How much profit did they make though? Still a waste of cars.

The only thing the franchise can do to redeem its street racing nature would be a Tokyo drift 2
No explosions no jumping off buildings no bs

These movies are the equivalent of a kid banging pots and pans together as entertainment.
