Recap / Fast And Furious Spy Racers S 1 E 1 Born A Toretto

Go To

Tony is pumped when his legendary cousin Dom recruits him and his friends for an exciting mission: to infiltrate a secret street racing circuit.


Tropes:

  • Action Prologue: The episode starts with Shashi and Layla stealing a race-car from a highly guarded boat.
  • The Cameo: Vin Diesel reprises his role as Dom Toretto, to establish himself as Tony's cousin and link it back to the Fast and Furious franchise.
  • Get Out!: Echo intimidates/seduces Mitch into getting out of his car simply by telling him to get out.
  • Painful Rhyme: Combined with Insult Backfire. Mitch calls Tony "Soapy Toretto", which Tony assumes is because Mitch is dumb enough to think "Tony" and "Soapy" rhyme. Mitch is confused, as his reasoning was because he had earlier called Tony's car a soapbox and Tony now has soap rags with which to clean his car.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: Played with. Mitch wins his race against Tony, but wrecks his car in the process... not that it matters, because the deal was that Tony has to fix his car if he lost.
  • Secret Test of Character: Dom pretends to be kidnapped in front of the kids so that they can prove their worth to Ms. Nowhere.
  • Skewed Priorities: Mitch is more upset by the fact that his car still has his tacos in it than the fact that Echo is blatantly stealing the car.
  • Too Fast to Stop: Mitch uses rocket boosters to win his race against Tony, then crashes moments later because he can't stop the car in time.
