Comparison between the theatrical version and the workprint. In Los Angeles, several trucks are being targeted by a gang with fast sports cars. LAPD officer Brian O'Conner suspects that Dominic "Dom" Toretto is behind it, notorious for his illegal street races. Brian manages to gain Dom's trust and simultaneously falls in love with his sister, Mia. His investigation leads to the suspicion that it's not Dom behind the crimes but an Asian gang. However, Brian soon realizes what Dom is really up to... The rather straightforward story of an undercover cop investigating the illegal car tuning and racing scene is elevated by fast cars, cool oneliners, and attractive women on the streetsides. The film does its best to appear as cool as possible while hip-hop and electronic music blast on the soundtrack. In 2001, The Fast and the Furious was indeed a major success, spawning nine sequels to date. Workprint with a missing sceneThere is a workprint version of The Fast and the Furious that largely resembles the theatrical version, but it lacks the scene in which Tran and Lance are arrested while Dom and his team prepare for the race. This appears to be a montage that might not have been completed. What's notable about the workprint is the absence of all music, creating an intriguing experience. The dialogue and sound effects remain intact. The workprint has an open aspect ratio, revealing more at the bottom of the screen. In the scene where Mia changes her clothes after seeing Brian run to her house, her breasts are visible. Admittedly, the workprint's image is somewhat blurry, requiring some imagination at times. DVD screener of "2 Fast 2 Furious" without differencesA brief note regarding the sequel "2 Fast 2 Furious," released in 2003. There is a DVD screener in circulation, with a note suggesting differences compared to the final DVD.
A comparison with the German Blu-ray revealed that there are no differences, and the DVD screener can be considered purely promotional material. Image comparison: Theatrical version:

Durations: Theatrical version: 106:50 minutes (99:57 minutes without credits) [00:00:00][00:00:00]
The Blu-ray starts with the Universal logo.
The container is shown earlier.
Theatrical Version: 27 seconds [00:14:53][00:14:26] Due to a reel change in the Workprint, the scene of the cars starting is missing.
Theatrical Version: 1 second [00:30:46][00:30:18] Thanks to the open aspect ratio, you can actually see Mia's breasts in the scene where she looks around.
No time difference. [00:34:43][00:34:15] Due to a reel change in the Workprint, in the Theatrical Version, you see the street earlier.
Theatrical Version: 1 second [00:56:03][00:55:34] Due to a reel change in the Workprint, in the Theatrical Version, you see Dom opening the garage earlier.
Theatrical Version: 5 seconds [01:01:43][01:01:10] The Theatrical Version shows Brian and Mia kissing for a longer time.
A montage follows in which the Special Ops team prepares to apprehend Tran and Lance. Lance is arrested in a restaurant, while Tran is arrested at home. Meanwhile, Dom and his team prepare for the race. You see Dom and Letty, who share a passionate kiss. The camera pan to the house starts earlier.
Theatrical Version: 2 minutes and 20 seconds [01:16:23][01:13:31] Another reel change in the Workprint, so in the Theatrical Version, you see the couple kissing earlier.

Theatrical Version: 1 second [01:39:42][01:36:49] At the end, in the Theatrical Version, you see Brian running past the camera in slow motion.
This part is not in slow motion in the Workprint.
