What does completely remain from the first film is the presence of fast-living underground street-racing gangs. In addition, with director Rob Cohen passing, producers have added a dash of credibility to the sequel by hiring John Singleton to helm. With the character of Dominic Toretto out of the picture, 2 Fast 2 Furious concentrates exclusively on the latest exploits of undercover agent Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker.
Storyline: Vin Diesel opted to not appear in the sequel to the film the shot him to stardom in the first place, The Fast and the Furious.
