What is the runtime of The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious?

The story behind the answer

The runtime of The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious is 6 minutes.

Released in 2003, this short film bridges The Fast and the Furious (2001) and 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003). It follows Brian O'Conner as he leaves Los Angeles and travels east while evading a police manhunt after helping Dominic Toretto escape.

The short was directed by Philip G. Atwell and written by Keith Dinielli. It stars Paul Walker and contains almost no original dialogue, relying heavily on visuals and footage connected to the first film. That unusual format helps explain why its runtime is far shorter than a standard franchise movie.

A common mix-up is confusing this six-minute prequel with a feature-length film or with the 107-minute 2 Fast 2 Furious. The short was released on June 3, 2003, and later appeared on special-edition home releases.
