Vin Diesel Drives a DeLorean in Fast & Furious/Back to the Future Mashup
An Instagram artist has created a mashup piece combining Back to the Future and Fast and Furious that sees Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto driving BttF's iconic DeLorean/time machine. Of the two franchises, Back to the Future might be lag behind in terms of box office gross and number of sequels, but it remains one of the most iconic properties of the 1980s. The trilogy, which ran from 1985 to 1990, starred Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox as a mad scientist and his teen companion who go on a variety of adventures through time using a high-tech DeLorean that needs to travel at 88 miles per hour to enter the time stream.
Fast and Furious is a more grounded franchise, though not by much. Although there are no fantasy/sci-fi elements at the core of the series, the crew at the center of the films, led by Diesel's stalwart Toretto, push their souped-up cars beyond the limits of reality in a variety of death-defying stunts throughout the course of the franchise's current roster of 9 films and 1 spinoff. The series' constantly escalating and more outrageous sequels have brought the Fast and Furious cars and their drivers onto planes, off the edge of cliffs, and even into space.

The accompanying caption pokes fun at Dom's obsession with "family" while also adding a third franchise into the mix by imagining Dom meeting The Flash during the popular DC time travel storyline
