Warning: There are some spoilers ahead for "The Fate of the Furious.""The Fate of the Furious" brokerecords opening weekend, surpassing "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" to have the largest box-office opening ever with $532.5 million worldwide. Alot of that has to do with the franchise'stransition 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 familyis 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 trackedevery time the word is said throughout the series,including the latest installment, and found 44 instanceswhen the word family is used.2001's "The Fast and the Furious" includes the word twice, both timessaidby 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.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.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.However, the real eye-catcher isthat Charlize Theron's villain, Cipher, says the word "family" more than any character in "Fate," including the film's patriarch, Dom.The terrorist hackerconstantly discusses family while blackmailingToretto. We don't getany sense of Cipher's family in the eighth film, and it makesme 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.Her dialogue in the film with Dom about family makes me wonder whether or notCipher 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 whileshe 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."
