A newly released public service announcement video boasts some familiar names and faces you might not expect to find touting a government safety campaign. One of those familiar faces is Sung Kang, who stars in the Fast And Furious movie franchise. He’s teamed up with the Orange County (California) District Attorney’s office to reach young people about the real dangers and consequences of street racing, the Washington Examiner reports.

Over shots of racing cars and photos of people who have died, Kang’s narration in the PSA is chock-full of engaging puns on the movie title:

“Sometimes, we just want to get in our cars and drive … and sometimes, we just want to go a little fast, and a bit furious.”

As Orange County DA Todd Spitzer said in a statement: “These are real people with real futures — futures that were devastated by illegal street racing.”

But the most compelling part, which hopefully will stick with anyone who street races or has considered starting on the pursuit, is the poignant cameo by another familiar name connected to the “Fast and Furious” movies. It’s by Cody Walker, the brother of the late Paul Walker who–along with a friend–died in a high-speed, single-car accident in 2013.

Powerful message.
