He was the picture car coordinator in Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious and now returns for the hat trick in Fast Five. The latest installment to compromise a hefty feature of 21 cars including Dom Toretto’s Dodge Charger brand.

In the last chapter of the Fast Five, we take a look at the many cars of Fast Five in an interview with the film the car coordinator Dennis McCarthy. If the last three films do not give him enough credibility, you may need to know that McCarthy is also the man behind the vehicles of the Green Hornet and Death Race.

McCarthy opened the interview by pointing that the selection of cars are “completely different” than the previous films. Almost every time, cast or crew member interviewed consistently mentioned our visit to the new look of the cars in the fast five. Every movie has possessed ITS vehicular own identity, but now, Dom, Brian and the gang on the run’s car selections is a little less high profile. Of course, low-profile cars for car junkies like them are not disappointing.
