Making a family is hard. Let’s talk about how difficult it was to make The Fast and the Furious Saga, from Vin Diesel walking away from the franchise (2 Fast 2 Furious), to Justin Lin fighting for a diverse cast (Tokyo Drift), or James Wan overcoming the death of Paul Walker (Furious 7), and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s feuds with Vin Diesel and Tyrese Gibson (The Fate of the Furious).

Correction: Ja Rule did not ask for $30 million. It was for an unknown amount still considered too expensive for director John Singleton.
