Why the film named Fast and Furious rather than Speed and Passion?
I agree with Roger. English has a tradition of both reiteration and alliteration which goes back to Anglo-Saxon. After all, it is fitting and proper.
I just saw Fast and Furious Seven last night.
Bad acting, gratuitous violence, predicable plot, jumpy editing, sloppy sentimental part at the end.
I still liked it and would encourage anyone who does not want to think about anything serious for over 2 hours to see it.

The studio probably ran a focus group on the title. Speed in the title would confuse the general audience with an association with the Sandra Bollock/Keanu Reeves franchise. Passion was a tad to girlie/chick lit-ish.
@SherryShaw,
Fast and Furious name describe racy synonym that's why and the first impact of movie was huge on Hollywood.
