“If we earn the right to make another movie, it’s our job to challenge ourselves and really push the envelope,” said Lin. “When I left I thought I was done for good, but at airports fans would just stop me to talk about characters. I was experiencing it from a very different point of view.”Lin even notes that when he was working on Star Trek, Vin Diesel would call him to talk about Toretto, “for two hours! Even though I was gone, I realize now that I wasn’t fully gone,” said Lin.Some of Lin’s favorite sequences were from Tokyo Drift, and here he credited his crew for being able to pull off super complicated tricks. He also loved the vault chase scene from Fast Five. They were going to do it using CGI, but instead built a mock safe to see what it would look like in real life.
