Every time someone says family in the new 'Fast and the Furious' movie broken down by character

[dom cipher]Matt Kennedy/Universal Pictures WARNING: THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS AHEAD FOR "THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS." "The Fate of the Furious" broke records opening weekend, surpassing "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" to have the largest box-office opening ever with $532.5 million worldwide. A lot of that has to do with the franchise's transition from street-racing movie to a series of heist films centered around family.  If you take a look back at each film, the message of taking care of and protecting your family is increasingly at the heart of the movies, and it's not just in the story. The word family is increasingly more prevalent in the sequels.  INSIDER tracked every time the word is said throughout the series, including the latest installment, and found 44 instances when the word family is used. 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" includes the word twice, both times said by people who aren't even in Dom's family. That number slowly increases over time. The eighth film in the series, "The Fate of the Furious," contains the most uses of the word family so far of any installment. Upon a second viewing of the film, INSIDER counted the word onscreen 14 times, said by a total of seven characters. Here's a quick breakdown of how the word family is used across all eight movies in the franchise to date. Notice that it doesn't appear once in "2 Fast 2 Furious," the only film in which Vin Diesel doesn't make an appearance. [fast and the furious times family said]Kirsten Acuna/INSIDER The breakdown of how many times "family" is said in "The Fate of the Furious" is a lot more interesting when you see who uses the word the most throughout the movie. While you may think that honor would go to Dominic Toretto (Diesel) or one of his crew members, that's not the case. [times people say family in fate of the furious]Kirsten Acuna/INSIDER The "unnamed girl in Cuba" refers to the girl who kicks off the street race in Cuba at the film's start. She says the word family in Spanish on screen.  [cuba race fate of the furious.JPG]Matt Kennedy/Universal Pictures However, the real eye-catcher is that Charlize Theron's villain, Cipher, says the word "family" more than any character in "Fate," including the film's patriarch, Dom. The terrorist hacker constantly discusses family while blackmailing Toretto. We don't get any sense of Cipher's family in the eighth film, and it makes me wonder whether we'll learn more about them in a sequel. If you've seen the latest installment to the "Fast" franchise, it's clear Cipher should be around for awhile. At the end of "Fate," her character makes a grand escape out of a plane before she can be brought to justice. Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) says there may have been a spotting of her in Athens, Greece. [fate of furious dom cipher]Matt Kennedy/Universal Pictures Her dialogue in the film with Dom about family makes me wonder whether or not Cipher lost her family in some huge way. Perhaps she harbors some jealousy against Dom's family because he has such a large and loving group of people in his life while she has none. We've broken down every line of dialogue where we heard the word family in "The Fate of the Furious" below, so you can see what we mean about Cipher. HERE'S A FULL BREAKDOWN OF EVERY TIME WE HEARD THE WORD FAMILY WHILE WATCHING: * "Are you ready for this my family?" — the young woman who kicks off the race in Cuba * "You're about to shatter your family." — Cipher to Dom  * "That's the best thing in your life — family." — Cipher to Dom  * "I don't care about your little family." — Deckard Shaw to Dom's crew once he starts working with them * "Body's not even cold. Your family's already replacing you." — Cipher to Dom * "Dom, you gonna turn your back on family? Just like that?"— Letty to Dom * "I know family is so important to you." — Cipher to Dom * "This idea of family that is so core to you ..." — Cipher to Dom * "... then I took your son to start a family." — part of a larger monologue Cipher delivers to Dom * "He's our family and our family don't die." — Helen Mirren's character Magdalene Shaw to her son, Deckard * "You heard me say you never turn your back on family, thanks for not turning your back on me." — Dom at the film's end to the group * "Thank you for giving us family." — Dom giving grace around the table at the film's very end Family is also heard two more times in trailers for the film by the Rock's Luke Hobbs. Personally, I don't recall hearing these additions in the final cut of the movie. [fate of the furious]Universal * "This crew's about family."  * "We've only got one chance to make this family whole again."
