My favourite part from this oral history:
VIN DIESEL (DOMINIC TORETTO): Before I got the script, Rob described to me the scene of the camera going through my eyes and into the car and then the engine, merging man and machine. That image made me go, “That’s insane — I’m all in.” And then I read the script and was like, “Eh, I don’t know.”
