In The Fast and the Furious franchise films there are many villains in each of the films, which all had a separate plans and motive from one another. The main villains of the films (in order of the films) are : Johnny Tran and his crew, Carter Verone, Takashi (Drift King), Arturo Braga and his crew, Hernan Reyes and Owen Shaw. These characters and their motives are explained in fuller details in the following paragraphs.
In the first film, The Fast and the Furious, Johnny Tran, played by Rick Yune.1, is the rival street racer in Los Angles and wants to defeat Dominic Toretto and his crew. In my opinion, Yune played the role very good because Yune has serious and aggressive features that fits the character's personality.
In 2 Fast 2
Furious, the villain is Carter Verone, played by Cole Hauser.2 Verone is a clever and witty character, who is an expert at crimes. Verone is a dealer and a drug lord, who's ultimate goal is to become rich. The character demonstrates cleverness because he creates plans and stays under the radar from cops. In the quote: "put him and his money together" said by Agent Markham, means Verone was unable to be caught by the cops.
In third film, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the villain is Takashi (Drift King), played by Brian Tee.3 Takashi is the winner of all drift races, and is nicknamed Drift King or DK. Drift King is the leader, and is feared by other drift racers. Drift King's leadership and title is threatened by Sean Boswell, when he arrives in Tokyo.
In the fourth film, Fast & Furious, the villain is Arturo Braga, played by John Ortiz.4 Braga is a drug trafficker that imports drugs from the United States to Mexico illegally. Braga is a villain because he put Toretto and O'Connor in a challenging position.
In the fifth film, Fast
Five, the villian is Hernan Reyes, played by Joaquim de Almeida.5 Reyes is a corrupt business man and drug lord that controls Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, because of his large amount of money. Reyes' motive is retain his power in Rio de Janeiro, which enforces Toretto and his crew to visit Rio de Janeiro.
In the sixth film, Fast
& Furious 6, the criminal is Owen
Shaw, played by Luke Evans.6 Shaw is taking down a military convoy and has plans to take over the world. CIA agent, Luke Hobbs teams up with Dominic Torretto to stop Shaw's plan.
To conclude, each of the characters played a significant role in the franchise and lead the story where it is today. No one likes to root for the villain of the story, but in my opinion, it is the villain that creates the plot line of the story, making them the most important character in the film.
