Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
F. Gary Gray made this between Friday and Italian Job, proving he could stage chaos before going glossy. The Mexico sequence's handheld urgency influenced later cartel cinema.
Originally titled 'Diablo' — changed because test audiences kept expecting supernatural horror. The studio feared confusion with 2001's 'The Fast and the Furious' Diesel overlap.
