Crafting an eighth installment after coming back from the success ofFurious 7, which was the most critically and commercially successful entry in the franchise, was always going to be a tough task to pull off. Although Vin Diesel’sThe Fate of the Furiousdidn’t do as good numbers as its predecessor, the 8th installment did become the 2nd highest-grossing film in the franchise.
However, some of the major points from the film weren’t the movie itself but the feud that grew between Diesel and The Rock, which would lead to the latter’s exit. But this wasn’t the only talking point about the movie as Diesel’s kiss with Charlize Theron from the movie also garnered a lot of heat, with both actors sharing different viewpoints on the kiss.

“I just don’t get it. I’m the crazy chick that’s doing this horrible thing to him and, as he should’ve, his character is just standing there frozen, like a dead fish. I like a bit more movement in my men.”
