And yet, according to everyone we spoke to, Corona doesn’t even pay to be in the movies. "On all the stuff I’ve ever done, I don’t believe there ever was [a deal with Corona]," says Morgan. "The truth is we write it in there. We talk about it. It’s what it’s going to be, and not for any business reasons. It’s part of Dom’s character. It just is." The Fast & Furious franchise became what it is today — a billion-dollar box-office juggernaut, with seven sequels and at least two more to come — in part because the movies embraced their absurdity. They drive cars through skyscrapers, make 100-foot leaps into ravines, and drive bank vaults through Rio, stripping themselves of all self-seriousness and adherence to the laws of physics. But beneath the nonsensical stunts and the utter disappearance of the threat of death, when everything gets boiled down, the Fast movies remain focused on a family of misfit thrill-seekers who sit around a table drinking beer — almost always Corona — together well after the sun goes down. That truth layers emotion behind every stunt and every illogical plot development and engenders loyalty from the audience.

Furious? Is This Why There’s No Corona in Fate of the Furious?

The elephant in the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is the fact that moviemaking is a business, and product placement — even really good product placement — is almost always about a capitalistic exchange, rather than world-building. Brands pay a production company to be prominently featured in a film. The exchange manifests in varying ways — from Heineken partially funding the production budget for 2015’s Spectre with a product placement deal to Oliver Stone getting a free pair of boots for showing a certain brand name in Natural Born Killers. As Cohen noted, the initial deal between The Fast and the Furious and Corona was small and rather unofficial: a few cases of free beer in exchange for an overt mention of the brand name. For more than a decade and a half, the Fast & Furious franchise has ripped, roared, and pressed every last NOS button on its way to action-franchise preeminence.

"And you can talk about, ‘Hey Dom, here’s what I know you did with that car,’ but I was looking for one thing to put in there to give the audience a wink. We played that for a joke, but also, this is how well this guy knows Dom. It’s just a fun, character-y moment."

This causes all the cars next to it, including Brian's Skyline, to explode, giving the distraction Dom and Brian need to escape. Corona is] the unpaid official beer of Fast & Furious," longtime producer Neal H. Moritz told The Bill Simmons Podcast. "I know it’s crazy. I should have a pallet of it in front of my house right now." ‘Furious 7,’ 2015 (Universal Pictures) They were one of the companies that was smart enough to get in with us at the ground floor," Cohen adds. Whether the company actually foresaw the success of Fast or just didn’t see the point in denying any movie’s outright endorsement of their product, the decision to allow Corona to be featured in The Fast and the Furious has developed into a profitable one.

Nitrous oxide ( N₂O) is a gas commonly referred to as "nitrous" or simply NOS in The Fast and the Furious series. Notable uses of NOS in the series Brian and Roman both use NOS during their race against Korpi and Darden, Brian's NOS enabling him to barely beat Korpi. I saw the original movie in the theater and I was just a fan." Having joined the franchise in 2006, Morgan is one of the most tenured members on the Fast team, and he’s personally responsible for every Corona reference the movies have made since the original. He continues to bake them into his scripts for one primary reason: precedent. "They branded themselves [in the original]," Morgan says. "‘If you’re gonna fit in with our crew, this is what our crew does.’" When he first got to write for Dom in the fourth installment, Fast & Furious (Diesel appears in only the waning seconds of Tokyo Drift), Morgan used the mention and presence of Corona to show that while years have passed, the characters haven’t changed. He achieved the same effect, wrapping continuity into nostalgia, with a barbecue scene that closes Fast & Furious 6 — and dutifully mirrors the barbecue scene of the original Fast, beer and all. ‘Fast & Furious 6,’ 2013 (Universal Pictures)Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!
