The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious(Film, 2003)

The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious (also known simply as Turbo Charged Prelude) is a 2003 American short film directed by Philip G. Atwell and written by Keith Dinielli. It is the first short film in the Fast & Furious franchise and is a follow-up to The Fast and the Furious (2001) and prequel to 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003). It stars Paul Walker. In the film, Brian O'Conner (Walker) leaves Los Angeles to evade police capture after aiding and abetting Dominic Toretto's escape from the law in the first film. Development for the film began after Vin Diesel, who starred in the original film, was confirmed not to appear in 2 Fast 2 Furious. The film includes footage from its predecessor (during which dialogues can be partially heard) but it features no original dialogue. Filming occurred in Los Angeles and Miami. The film was first released by Universal Pictures on June 3, 2003, having a limited theatrical release in the United States to tie with 2 Fast 2 Furious. It was later included on special edition home releases of the first film. ()
