That's no problem at all - I don't think that's a necessity in order to fully comprehend these movies (especially in a franchise where they've grown the juevos to take it to the 5. film).

Confession: I have never seen a Fast and Furious movie all the way through.

7: Despite mixing protagonists and antagonists together in one group photo, the viewer can distinguish the 'Five' characters referred to in the title. They're all photoshopped into the foreground, the bigger you are the less chance you'll be killed off. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics did this as well, featuring the Pharaoh (in this case Diesel) as larger than his subordinates (the guys crowding around his mighty legs).

Also, this movie is so revolutionary that it changed the official start of summer to April, because it is set in Brazil, which doesn't have seasons.

6: as implied by the all-embracing Jebas in the background and the crucifix on the shredded chest of Diesel, all of the crashed cars, wasted dudes, vaporizing of drug cartels and general fubaring are done in the name of the Good Sir above, as the glorious slo-mo explosions intertwine with the teasing yet wholly engaging character interaction ("You gotta keep running now" - "Runnin' ain't freedom") which work on so many levels of abstraction, to ultimately form a visual fugue with a solid religious statement, the work standing firm as so much more than its mere components. That is, until they launch a nitro-fuelled, titanium-enforced Accelarator Assiting System on their Jaguar XTR3M3000 and blow the fucker up for the sake of shiny fireballs and fuckall.
