Los Bandoleros (2009)
Producer Vin Diesel believes that the high-octane thrills of 'F9: The Fast Saga' can mask the true reason that Fast & Furious fans come out to the theaters -- the family drama at the franchise's heart. Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, and director Justin Lin sound off about that dynamic and when they first felt like a part of the Fast Family.

    Beauty of the Dominican Republic.

    Los Bandoleros. Beauty of the Dominican Republic. A short film by Vin Diesel that was made for no reason. In addition to pleasant music and beautiful views, the Dominican Republic brings nothing.

    "FAMILY"

    The second short film in the Fast & Furious franchise details the events prior to Fast & Furious (2009).

    I don't know why they put Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster on this poster, coz they're not in the film.

    Fast and Furious #4 Prequel

    No spoilers cause this just sets up the beginning of the next movie.

    This short story sets up the heist that is at the beginning of Fast and Furious, the one where they hijack the fuel tankers in the Dominican Republic. Dom is working with his new partners Tego and Leo, you might remember them more from Fast5. First Dom calls upon the assistance of Han. Next they have to break Leo out of prison. There is a gas shortage in the Dominican Republic and they meet with a politician that is going to make it possible to obtain the gas the town needs. Then comes Letty, she finds Dom surrounded by "skanks", apparently this is the first time since episode 1, since at the end of 1 Dom is shown driving through Mexico alone. Dom leaves with Letty of course. The next day they take a romantic drive to the beach and re kindle their romance. You get to see a very tender part of Dom and Letty's relationship.

    Very good setup, I always wondered what happened in the big gap between 1 and 4. Honestly after seeing 2fast and parts of Tokyo drift I was ready to call this franchise a dud, but Vin Diesels return resurrected it, Fast 5 being my favorite.

    letty and dom's relationship

    I would say that the first half of this movie is boring but the second half where it shows how much letty and dom's relationship has grown and how much they mean to each other is amazing.
