It's all between you and the car you build it's a bond, it's a commitment.
Tej to Hobbs.
Tej Parker is a former street racer, mechanic and technical expert.[1][2] A protagonist in The Fast and Furious franchise, Tej is a friend of Brian O'Conner, who allowed him to participate in races when he lived in Miami, Flordia. Later, Tej becomes a member of Dominic Toretto's Crew when he is recruited by Dominic Toretto to steal money from a corrupt Portuguese businessman, Hernan Reyes.[2]



Biography

2 Fast 2 Furious

Tej does not race anymore, preferring to referee and make money off selling parts out of his garage and also due to what he claims to have stopped him from racing, an injured leg. He has an off-on relationship with Suki. When Brian O'Conner needs a place to stay, he allows Brian and Roman Pearce to stay in his garage rooms for a while. Later, when Brian needs to orchestrate a "scramble" to escape detection by the FBI, Tej shows him another large car garage owned by him, which they use for the scramble. Tej and Suki drive Brian and Roman's Mitsubishis out to be intercepted by the FBI, allowing them to continue their mission which shows that he still can drive as well.

Fast Five

Tej makes an appearance in Fast Five when Brian O'Conner askes him to come to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to deal with the circuits surrounding Reyes' money for security. Tej becoms part of the team Brian and Dominic Toretto put together to rob 100 million dollars from the richest man in Rio.

After the heist in Brazil, Tej purchased a small garage which he earlier revealed to be his dream. With his share of the heist money, he also brought a Koenigsegg CCXR, of which there are only 4 in existence. One of which belongs to Roman Pearce who also brought one with his heist money and he believes to be the only person to own one in the Western hemisphere, until he sees Tej and sees he also has one meaning there are "2 in the Western hemisphere." But Roman tells him that they can "shine together."

Fast & Furious 6

Tej makes an appearance in this film, returning as part of Dominic Toretto's crew. He is known to be quite generous since the Rio heist in the events of Fast Five, giving away free money to locals. He continues to share banter with Roman Pearce and develops somewhat of a mild friendship with Agent Hobbs, having him named "Samoan Thor" on his cellphone. When asked by Dom to get new cars for the crew after their BMW M5s failed, Tej and Hobbs visit the classic car auction, and get insulted by a punter for their outfit, being quite unformal for the auction. However, Tej surprises the punter by buying all cars in the auction, which are then delivered to the crew's safehouse, saying that he needed to make use to his 10 million dollars from Rio heist. After the cars are delivered, he retaliates for the punter's comeuppance by making him undress and leave all clothing items to him and Hobbs as "more formal".

Later, Tej upgrades the confiscated weapon and invents a new harpoon made from titanium and powered with nitrous, which Rome "tests out" with him nearly killing Dom and Han. However, Tej seems to have made more of them as seen used during the airfield chase.

Tej also assists in taking down the airplane in an effort to stop Owen Shaw towards the end of the film.

Characteristics

Personality

Tej is shown to be highly humble even after he become a millionaire. Even though he had enough money to set himself up without working another day in his life, he still settled for a day job as a mechanic since cars were his passion. Tej's passion for cars is comparable to a marriage as describe by Hobbs. But Tej prefers cars over women since when you go your separate ways they don't take half your stuff.

Abilities

Tej's car mechanics abilities far surpasses even Dom as regularly has him conduct car modification or replacement searching whenever their current cars were destroyed. He has also further enhanced weapons his team has confiscated from other teams. One example being Shaw's hook gun. Tej was originally brought into Toretto's crew because of his technical abilities with computers. He can crack any safe or hack into any system if there is even the slightest possibility anyone can do it. Tej's only limit to tech is when the system is fool-proof. Examples including Reyes' safe which couldn't be opened without his hand print. However, Tej was able to hack the electronic passcode of the safe but that alone couldn't open the safe.

Despite primarily serving the role of the tech person of the crew and not directly fighting anyone in the first two missions of the crew, Tej did display skill in close quarters combat as he easily and quickly disabled an armed security guard during a birthday party, even though they had a weapon.

People are questioning Tej's character evolution but not the fact that a bunch of street hoods became the world's best special ops team overnight

Thats been covered already since fast 5

 

[quise2024]

Nothing about Tej in 2F2F displays any of that from that wiki link. Like i said dude never touched an auto part, didnt even know what the "skyline" was or anything about their cars being sophisticatedly (that a word? ) wired but shows up in 5 as a computer wiz


No one else had "character development" other than Dom being un-killable

Wrong thread

scorpion king?

Um no

Gridiron Gang

 

[Bert.]

Can't use the characters from Tokyo drift in future movies because in the time line they are not so far removed from the current movie, no? Tokyo Drift takes place after 5 but just before 6. Characters in Tokyo Drift was supposed to be in hs and they grown grown men and women now lol


But maybe if there is a big time jump in the timeliness, like maybe if the movies catch up to real time...


Or did it already? Is F8 set in 2017?

Sean was looking old as hell in 7 

seen that he's slated to be in 9 tho

He was in 7? I swear I didn't care for that movie minus statham, I almost forgot everything about that movie

 

[HNL HI]

He was in 7? I swear I didn't care for that movie minus statham, I almost forgot everything about that movie

yeah, they picked up on that scene at the end of Tokyo Drift where he lined up to race Dom. They talked about Han for a bit, dudes forehead went all the way back

Yup.
Dom - Capt America
Shaw Bros - Daredevil/Punisher
Hobbs - Luke Cage
Letty - Black Widow

I liked Snitch.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[gimmedatt]

Crazy how the Fast and Furious franchise saved all their careers. Diesel and the Rock's careers were basically dead or at least dying before 4 and 5. 

Rock was doing B level stuff like Walking Tall and Tooth Fairy, now he's the highest grossing actor in Hollywood and has like a dozen projects lined up.

 

[IATT]

I would say it saved everyone else's but the rock's, Ramsay and Charlize

Everyone else's careers were definitely on the downside of things

The rock was taking a Kevin hart type approach to things where dude was doing any and everything.. but this definitely cemented him on another level

But only a couple of them really could succeed outside of this.. and don't think Vin is one of them, outside voice work.. although he was pushing hard for inhumans when that was supposed to be a movie

Michelle Rodriguez gets some stuff here and there, like those resident evil movies

Amel finally admits that capt hydra is extremely convenient when it comes to the rule of law..
