Whenever there\u2019s any news story about any carjackings or truck heists on social media, often times I always like to drop a photo comment of Johnny Tran accusing Dom Toretto of narc-ing on him from The Fast and the Furious<\/em>.\u00a0 Context notwithstanding, it\u2019s always funny (to me) that it\u2019s just a picture of jacked Rick Yune pointing at jacked Vin Diesel captioned with IT WAS YOU<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, I was sitting in a boring-ass work meeting when I discreetly did this again while dicking around on my phone, but my mind began to wander about Johnny Tran in general.\u00a0 And the more I thought about his character, in the grand spectrum of the entire Fast<\/em> Universe<\/em>, it occurred to me that not only did the series leave a gargantuan boatload of money on the table for not following up with Johnny Tran and his apparent Triad-like syndicate lurking in the shadows behind him, when the day was over Johnny Tran was one of the least-criminal offenders in the series and that he basically died (spoiler alert) for nothing, and there was absolutely no retribution for his murder.<\/span><\/p>\n I mean throughout the rest of the series, wars have been started over lesser beefs and conflicts, but somehow in the Fast Universe the story of Johnny Tran is immediately swept under the rug and upon realizing this, I cannot stand for it.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, Johnny Tran wasn\u2019t a squeaky clean boy scout by any means necessary; he liked to roll around with his cousin Lance<\/a> and his posse in his Honda 2000 or on superbikes, and often seemed to be packing automatic weapons, trying to intimidate opps, but come on, the man was living in Southern California GTA turf war zones, man sometimes has to do what he has to in order to protect himself.<\/span><\/p>\n But as the backstory goes, his and Dom\u2019s beef started over \u201ca business deal gone bad\u201d not to mention the fact that Dom had slept with his sister \u2013 AKA disrespecting his<\/em> Family.\u00a0 Sure, he shot up Brian\u2019s Eclipse and blew it up, but that\u2019s because Dom had neglectfully allowed him and Brian to wander into Tran\u2019s hood, and rules are rules and consequences for breaking them are justifiable.<\/span><\/p>\n And then Brian sic\u2019d the feds on Tran and his crew, because the irony was that he was in fact, clouded by Mia and Dom and didn\u2019t want to believe that they were the Civic crew hijacking trucks, and saw them as the best patsies to take the fall.\u00a0 At this point, Tran had done other than blowing up the Eclipse and some intense coercion to Ted at Harry\u2019s for some SR20 motors a week before Race Wars that should fetch a pretty penny.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The DVD players that Brian saw in his garage were legit, and the reality was that the only dirt on Tran and his crew were petty weapons charges and some speeding tickets, yet the response to Brian\u2019s bullshit intel were humiliating raids on Little Saigon to bust Lance while he\u2019s just trying to enjoy some pho with his homies, and the feds breaking and entering Johnny Tran\u2019s home to falsely arrest him, culminating with the ultimate indignity for any self-respecting Asian child, getting the taste slapped out of him by their own father<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n I mean, watch the clip; Asian dads rarely show urgency or rush any form of punishing, knowing that the anticipation and the wait for punishment is almost as bad as the physical act. \u00a0But Johnny Tran\u2019s dad fucking ran<\/em> to the front door in order to get in that denigrating slap, all while Johnny Tran is being fucking held by the cops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t care what anyone else says, Johnny Tran getting shot and murdered is the second worst thing to happen to him, behind getting slapped by his own dad.\u00a0 The fact that it was completely unwarranted and under false pretenses is irrelevant; had Johnny Tran actually lived, this is irreversible lifetime trauma that wouldn\u2019t ever have gone away, and in fact it\u2019s probably for the best that he died, because this moment right here is the impetus for Johnny Tran to become the villain the franchise wanted to him to become, and he would have overpowered every fucking sheik, corrupt Brazilian, Charlize Theron, Jason Momoa and God\u2019s Eye with the fury of all of communist China* behind him.<\/span><\/p>\n *yes I know the character was Vietnamese, but the actor is Korean, driving a Japanese car, may as well muck up the entire Asian pool at this point, not like it hasn\u2019t already been done to this point<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Make no mistake, none of this happens if Brian doesn\u2019t narc on Johnny Tran, because he\u2019s too clouded by Mia\u2019s hoo-hah, and it\u2019s actually incredible that retribution doesn\u2019t come more immediately, and that JT doesn\u2019t boil over until everyone\u2019s at Race Wars.<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, speaking of Race Wars, this is really the catalyst for the culmination of Johnny Tran\u2019s demise; after Johnny Tran easily defeats Jesse and his shitty Jetta, Jesse should have manned up, handed over the pink slip and everything is finished.\u00a0 Instead, Jesse reneges on a gentleman\u2019s agreement, flees the desert, forcing Johnny Tran to get up in his master\u2019s face, which led to the accusations that Dom was a narc, triggering him into a violent rage, and looking back at the film, it\u2019s hilarious that of all the different ways that Domonic Toretto is antagonized by other characters throughout the series, it\u2019s accusing him of being a narc that gets him to flip out in such a maniacal manner.<\/span><\/p>\n And we all know what happens next;

Dom\u2019s crew biffs a hijacking, Vince nearly dies, Brian blows his cover, they all show back up at the Toretto house, where a terrified Jesse shows back up like the pussy we all know he is.\u00a0 Johnny Tran and his cousin Lance show up and light everyone up, Jesse dies, Brian chases, Dom commits vehicular manslaughter** when he PITs Lance into a ravine, and Brian murders Johnny Tran when he shoots him in the back while he\u2019s trying to flee on his bike, causing him to crash and expire on the streets, right outside of a homeless camp under a bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n**An easy plot twist that Lance didn\u2019t die, since Fast characters have demonstrated the ability to survive way worse physical traumas than wiping out off of a cliff, but that just feeds the Johnny Tran (and his family) are victims narrative<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nIt\u2019s astounding to me that in spite of all of the callbacks throughout the entire Fast series, some stretching even harder than the litany of callbacks in Cobra Kai, there isn\u2019t the slightest attempt to reach back to Johnny Tran, or his apparent syndicate of discreet criminals.\u00a0 I mean Momoa\u2019s flamboyant character is directly related to the events of Fast Five<\/em>, and when the series pivoted to this Italian Job<\/em> like heist genre, it\u2019s been Dom\u2019s Family versus, well the rest of the fucking world at this point, but at no point have they even tried to go back to Johnny Tran.<\/span><\/p>\nConsidering the huge reach they did for the resurrection of Han, I like to think it would be hilarious if in Fast XV, they pulled the same shit and suddenly Johnny Tran never died after all. \u00a0But he, and possibly his cousin Lance, have been laying low in the weeds over the last quarter century, waiting for the best time to strike Dom and the Family.<\/span><\/p>\nBut considering they haven\u2019t tried at all in 25 years, it\u2019s probably wishful thinking that we\u2019ll ever see Johnny Tran ever again.<\/span><\/p>\nIn an alternate world, Tran has his own Family, along with Lance and probably a diverse cast of equivalents to Letty, Mia (who Dom fucked), Vince, Jesse and Leon and later on revealed that Ja Rule was the Tej Parker equivalent, DK was his overseas colleague, and maybe like Batista and Clive Owen could have been his Hobbs and Shaw equivalents.<\/span><\/p>\nBut we\u2019ll never know for sure, because we live in a fucked up unfair world, and Johnny Tran did not get to have his story ever finished much less told.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nJohnny Tran was innocent.\u00a0 Johnny Tran was murdered.\u00a0 Johnny Tran was the victim all along.<\/span><\/p>\nJustice for Johnny Tran.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whenever there\u2019s any news story about any carjackings or truck heists on social media, often times I always like to drop a photo comment of Johnny Tran accusing Dom Toretto of narc-ing on him from The Fast and the Furious.\u00a0 Context notwithstanding, it\u2019s always funny (to me) that it\u2019s just a picture of jacked Rick … Continue reading Justice for Johnny Tran<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[51,100,29,157,41,83,52,89,49],"class_list":["post-51483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cars","tag-comparison","tag-fantasy","tag-fast-furious","tag-movies","tag-observations","tag-owned","tag-racism","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=51483"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51486,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51483\/revisions\/51486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=51483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=51483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=51483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}](\"https:\/\/i.makeagif.com\/media\/9-21-2015\/QkUe3G.gif\"){kind=link}
