The fifth installment of the high-octane Fast & Furious series is set to tear into theaters
and rev this franchise’s earnings past a billion dollars. All your favorites from
Fast past are returning -- Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris --
plus a jacked-up Dwayne Johnson has joined as the film’s antagonist.
Rather than sitting idle and waiting for Fast Five, we’re revisiting this thrillogy to catalog
our favorite element in these films, the Fast & Furious women.
No.10 Caroline de Souza Correa
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift What she rides: N/ACaroline de Souza Correa enjoys a small but memorable role in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (perhaps it’s more accurate to say that it’s us, the audience, who enjoy the role). She plays the very busty Brazilian model in Han’s bevy of beautiful models lost in translation in Tokyo. She has only one real line, but she says it while wearing the hell out of the dress that wardrobe provided her. She’s also currently starring in a bizarre series of ads for Magnum Gold ice cream alongside Benicio Del Toro, which definitely deserve mention. Caroline Correa is undoubtedly a 10.
No.9 Elsa Pataky
Fast FiveWhat she rides: Armored Hummer
We don’t want to give too much away about the new film, but we would be remiss to leave Elsa Pataky off this list. This sexy Spanish actress, probably best known for her role in Snakes on a Plane, joins the franchise playing Elena Neves, a Rio cop enlisted to help Dwayne Johnson in his manhunt to find Dom and the rest of the street-racing crew. Pataky isn’t tarted up for the role (she’s in a cop uniform for most of it). But if you like a girl that looks like she can kick ass, you’ll see why Pataky scores the No. 9 spot on our list.
No.8 Amber Stevens
The Fast and the Furious . Tokyo Drift
What she rides: Dodge Ram
Amber Stevens has a small but crucial role in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift: She’s the cheerleader who takes her bra off and throws it in the air to signal the start of the first race in the film. She might have just gone down as another hot background player in a film replete with sexy extras, but she’s notable because of her post-Tokyo Drift career: For four years, the adorable and effervescent Stevens played Ashleigh Howard on the TV show Greek, making an otherwise pretty standard, somewhat old-fashioned teen show actually worth watching. That’s why “Cheerleader No. 1” ranks No. 8 on our list.
No.7 Gal Gadot
Fast & Furious, Fast Five
What she rides: Porsche Cayman
The 2004 Miss Israel, Gal Gadot, joined this fast and furiously growing franchise at film No. 4. With Letty out of the picture, the series needed another hottie to shoot sparks with Dom (Vin Diesel), so in came Gisele Harabo, liaison for Arturo Braga, head of a drug cartel and the man responsible for Letty’s murder. A successful model and actress, Gadot has since gone on to roles in Date Night and Knight and Day, and she makes her return to world of street racing this spring in Fast Five. You can look forward to looking at her a whole lot more, this time as a member of Dom’s crew.
No.6 Nikki Griffin
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
What she rides: Dodge Viper
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the sole stand-alone installment in the franchise, is all about the trouble men get into over beautiful women. Cindy (Nikki Griffin) is just the first cutie to lead Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) into trouble. The first big action set piece in the film -- a race between Sean and the high school’s super jock played by Zachery Ty Bryan -- is centered on her as the prize. The two boys might have settled their feud with a simple fist fight, but Cindy encourages them to race it out -- and winner goes home with her. Of course, it all goes horribly wrong, but you can’t blame a guy for trying when the prize looks like Nikki Griffin.
No.5 Devon Aoki
2 Fast 2 Furious
What she rides: Honda S2000
As Suki, the enigmatic street racer in 2 Fast 2 Furious, Devon Aoki is a fantasy figure: She’s a hard-driving chick who likes to dress like a Japanese school girl. She’s little more than eye candy in the film, but what eye candy she is. Devon Aoki, a model-turned-actress, has made a career out of playing the tight-lipped tough chick with a hot body and stone face. For her roles in 2 Fast 2 Furious, Sin City and Dead or Alive, Aoki dials into the same sexy brooding. She’s the second female lead in 2F2F, but even still, her role is “too thin” to put her any higher on the list, but her fierce stare has locked her into a solid fifth place.
No.4 Nathalie Kelley
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
What she rides: Mazda RX-8
Neela (Nathalie Kelley) is the girl that really does Sean in in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. His attraction to her and their flirtation results in him getting in trouble with the Yakuza. In what is essentially a new-kid-finds-trouble-in-a-new-school movie, the stakes have never been higher for the characters involved. I don’t remember the Karate Kid's Daniel LaRusso ever dodging organized crime and facing mortal danger whenever he left his house. As a rule of thumb, the higher the stakes, the hotter the girl, and Neela doesn’t disappoint. She has one of the most beautiful faces featured in the franchise, with amazing, adorable dimples and an Australian accent that just melts you. Neela’s No. 4 with a bullet.
No.3 Michelle Rodriguez
The Fast and the Furious, Fast & Furious
What she rides: Nissan 240SX
“It starts with the eyes. She’s got to have those kind of eyes that can look right through the crap to the good in someone. 20% angel, 80% devil, down to Earth, ain’t afraid to get a little engine grease under her fingernails.” We all knew who Dom (Vin Diesel) was thinking of when describing his perfect woman: his partner in crime, Letty. When casting Vin Diesel’s better half, who better suited than the tough-as-nails Michelle Rodriguez? Rodriguez does what Rodriguez does best in these films: look sexy while delivering one-liners with an arched eyebrow and clenched teeth.
No.2 Eva Mendes
2 Fast 2 Furious
What she rides: Dodge Challenger
Any AskMen reader, even the most casual ones, will know that we love us some Mendes. How could she not make the list? Her role as Monica Fuentes, the undercover U.S. agent assigned to assist Paul Walker and Tyrese Gibson in their operation is what elevated Eva Mendes’ star. Prior to 2F2F, her most notable role was as Denzel Washington’s baby mama in Training Day. As Monica, Ms. Mendes was given something to say and something to do, and while it was her only time behind the wheel in this five-film series, she’s every bit as synonymous with the franchise as the original femmes, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez.
No.1 Jordana Brewster
The Fast and the Furious, Fast & Furious, Fast Five
What she rides: Ford GT
With only a couple of film credits and a stint on a soap opera to her name, Jordana Brewster’s career was turbo-charged after taking the role as Vin Diesel’s sister in The Fast and the Furious. After the success of the first film, Brewster became a hot property (emphasis on the hot) in the lad-mag world, and was prominently and regularly featured on several “hottest women” lists in Stuff, Maxim and on our very own Top 99 Most Desirable Women over several years. Brewster’s character, Mia Toretto, makes her third appearance in the latest film of the franchise. Now, had Mia remained a simple sister/girlfriend to the films' two leads, she may have been lower on this list, but she’s been kicking ass since film four, which is unassailably hot. We've no doubt that she’ll heat up the screen as Diesel and Walker tear up the streets.
