Ridiculousness Baby Seat Almost Run Over by 18 Wheeler
xx. Brian does a stare-and-drive move to impress Monica Fuentes.
Acuna: Brian loves being a daredevil. Though he stares at Monica for about 20 seconds while dangerously going faster on local roads, he only gets upward to about 80 mph before he halts at a red light. That's a typical 24-hour interval of freeway driving on the 101 or Garden State Parkway.
Singh: Brian and Mia are endgame, only this moment was really impressive (and bonny). I'm skeptical of Roman challenge that he taught Brian that move.
Acuna: Roman's definitely jealous.
19. Tej creates a giant distraction to assist Brian and Roman evade the constabulary by releasing tens of cars from a garage at once.
Acuna: Brian and Roman head into a garage that's surrounded by cops on the ground and in the air. When the garage doors open, massive trucks come rushing out, destroying the cop cars. If that isn't plenty, Tej, Suki, and more of the bandage from the moving-picture show'due south start are brought back to unleash a sea of cars onto the streets to create chaos and confusion.
It'southward satisfying to meet Brian and Roman pull i over on the cops hither so they tin can get and practise their ain thing to take down the bad guy.
This is one of those early on franchise moments that paved the way for bringing back memorable faces at times when they matter most in the series.
Singh: This diversion was and then effective, even if the concept was somewhat quondam-schoolhouse. Aside from being a fun moment, it showed the unity among racers who band together to help each other (and shell some police cars, if needed).
18. Vince about dies in a failed truck heist.
Acuna: This is one of the more reckless moments in the franchise. I want to turn abroad every time I see Vince pinned to the 18-wheeler with the harpoon cord wrapped uncomfortably tight around his wrist. I thought he was going to lose an arm or die.
It's cool seeing Letty dodge underneath the truck and Brian literally jumping in to play hero to salve a guy he didn't respect much, but this scene lost a few points for me because it felt similar apprentice hour for Dom and his team.
Singh: If Vince listened to Dom and retreated, this whole scene could have been avoided. Simply he was stubborn, and thankfully Brian and Mia were at that place to help in his rescue.
Even though the scene was sloppy, it pushed the franchise forward. Brian, knowing that Vince was like family to Dom, put aside their rivalry to get him medical attention rapidly. But in doing that, Dom learned that Brian was an hush-hush cop. That revelation paved the manner for friction to come regarding Brian'due south conflicting roles equally a rule-breaker and a police-enforcer.
17. Brain and Dom narrowly outrace a railroad train at the stop of "The Fast and the Furious" and and so Dom crashes into a truck anyhow.
Acuna:It's been twenty years since the release of "The Fast and the Furious" and my chest even so gets tight every time I come across that train coming down the tracks, peculiarly when Dom gives Brian that terminal little expect to say, "Yeah, I'thousand going for it," and Brian looks terrified.
I know Dom and Brian are going to make it, just I could never imagine trying to outrace a railroad train. Maybe I'yard and then tense considering I know the moment they miraculously cross the tracks unharmed, and I remember I can breathe a sigh of relief, bam, Dom slams into an 18-wheeler, sending his Charger flipping over Brian'due south vehicle before crashing onto the road. If you scout the scene closely, it'south ane of the few times you see Diesel have fearfulness in his eyes in the franchise.
Singh: Dom really does alive his life a quarter-mile at a time.
I remember being on the edge of my seat when I saw this scene for the first time. It was thrilling considering as a viewer, you knew that Dom and Brian weren't going to slow down despite heading for a collision with the incoming train. It simply would have been anti-climatic if they slowed to terminate before the tracks and said, "Yep, we'll let this railroad train pass and continue our race."
But then Dom took his eyes off the road for a second to smile at Brian, and that's when a truck sent his car flipping over Brian's.
Realistically, I'm not sure if anyone in Dom's position would have survived being in a Charger that flipped multiple times. Merely this was a precursor to the kinds of death-defying stunts that would become role of the Deoxyribonucleic acid of the franchise.
16. Sean drifts through a crowded Tokyo intersection and miraculously avoids all the pedestrians during a high-speed chase.
Acuna: I felt like I needed to scout this scene with my hands over my face. Sean Boswell could not migrate to save his life at the starting time of this picture, permit alone race a regular car without messing it up at the film's start.
My face looked similar Nathalie Kelley'southward in that scene.
Singh: Sean's drifting in this scene was pretty shine for someone who learned about the concept for the commencement time earlier in the motion-picture show. The overhead shot showing Sean's drifting through the crowded intersection really highlighted how wild information technology was that in that location were no casualties during that part of the sequence.
Acuna: Yeah, this was actually simply a absurd shot. Though "fast" and a bit "furious," there are and then many wilder scenes that we kept this one lower on the ranking.
15. Brian races off a dock to magically crash land onto a yacht.
Acuna: With Monica's life on the line, Brian makes a wild call and decides he's going to race a 1969 Camaro off of a pier at 120 miles per hour onto a yacht to salvage the 24-hour interval.
Say what you will well-nigh "two Fast," simply this was really the stunt that laid the foundation for some of the more over-the-top moments to come in the franchise. As Roman says, this is "some existent Dukes of Hazzard" sh--.
Singh: I think this was the start of Roman's mid-hijinks freakouts in the franchise. Trivial did he know that it would only escalate from hither.
14. Dom wins the Cuban street race by a 2d, even equally his machine goes up in flames and falls autonomously.
Singh: By "The Fate of the Furious," it was well established that Dom was a great street racer. But this scene took it to some other level. His car was literally upward in flames and falling autonomously, and he still edged out the competition. That takes skills that a regular street racer doesn't possess.
Acuna: The most impressive thing most this race is that Dom had to utilise every racing skill he knew (and one he learned from Brian), in society to make a hunk of junk (referred to equally the slowest motorcar on the island) a race winner.
That motorcar didn't only autumn apart, it took off and flipped into the air, landing in the ocean. Everyone'southward cheering and excited, but I'm always a little concerned nigh that becoming a health take chances. Not absurd, Dom.
The start of "F8" returned the franchise to its roots with a good race and I promise we go i or ii more than earlier the main saga ends.
13. Dom and Brian race through cloak-and-dagger drug tunnels to Mexico, destroying them along the mode.
Acuna:Before they became outright superheroes, Dom and Brian were only trying to outrace a gang of cars in claustrophobic surreptitious drug tunnels that connect the US and Mexico.
What could perhaps become wrong?
Near the end of the chase, Dom makes an improbable jump from his vehicle to another moments before information technology smashes into a wall and (likely) ruins the drug cartel business because the entire secret tunnel explodes.
This probably would have made a better idea for a theme park allure than what Universal currently has for its "Fast & Furious" ride.
Singh: While watching this wild scene, I kept wishing that Braga would shut his mouth and quit grinning. I was relieved when Brian elbowed him in the face up.
This sequence was a dandy display of Dom and Brian's driving skills. The whole scene culminated in the very satisfying and wild moment in which Dom drove out of the tunnel and smashed Fenix to death by sandwiching him between two cars.
Acuna: If we were ranking virtually roughshod deaths in the "Fast" franchise, that would be a top contender.
12. Dom and Brian drive a classic Corvette off a cliff later on a train heist goes awry.
Singh: I had a bad feeling about this heist from the starting time when Vince convinced them that it would be a clean task and easy money. The messy task that followed was absolutely bonkers and, once again, Brian'due south life was on the line.
Acuna: So much goes on in this 7-minute scene well-nigh the start of "Fast Five."
Things go awry while stealing some loftier-end cars off a train (as they do) at the starting time of "Fast V." When Mia drives off with a GT-forty some of the guys had their eye on, all hell breaks loose.
Brian is trying to not get his face blow-torched at one point while Dom is fighting some other bad guy. A vehicle so winds up diving into the side of the train and catches burn. The scene culminates with Brian needing to jump off of a vehicle connected to the train onto a 1966 Corvette Sport Stingray that Dom is driving. Seconds later, with Brian hanging for his life from the back of this 'Vette, Dom'south forced to race the car off a cliff. The two dull-mo jump out of it to save their own lives. It's a wild few minutes, and we're non even twenty minutes into the movie.
On the managing director'southward commentary, Lin estimated this scene cost $25 million in total considering they needed a track and their ain train to destroy.
xi. Dom revs upward and drives toward an exploding oil tank as it hurtles toward him and Letty.
Singh: I thought that Letty jumping from the tank to Dom'due south hood and being caught by him was wild. Merely then Dom perfectly timed his next move, and he and Letty were left unscathed.
Acuna: Let's not forget Dom was racing astern down a hill when Letty made the jump to his vehicle. 2009's "Fast & Furious" (the fourth installment) was the movie where Vin Diesel fuel returned to the franchise. This opening scene made me realize nosotros should never question this human being's driving in a "Fast" motion-picture show.
Whatever other person would flinch under the pressure to dodge a fiery oil tanker barreling down a highway towards you. Merely non Dom. Non even Letty yelling in his ear fabricated him lose focus.
10. Brian scales, runs, and jumps off a bus that'southward about to fall off a cliff and later dives onto the tail end of Letty's car.
Singh: At the fourth dimension of the release of "Fast and Furious 7," I had lost rails of how many most-expiry experiences Brian had in the franchise. But this is always the 1 that comes to mind. The style it was shot had me tense and worried the whole time, which I'm sure was the goal.
Information technology'due south also one of the few times that we meet Brian and Letty together in a scene. Letty looking at Brian on the ground and asking, "Yous skillful?" after he narrowly escaped falling off the cliff gets me every time.
Acuna: I've been so focused on how Letty and Mia have never shared much screentime that I didn't even think to consider Brian and Letty. What a expert example.
This scene e'er reminds me of this stressful moment in an "Uncharted" game where you need to climb upward the back of a railroad train that's dangling precariously over the edge of a cliff. I feel fifty've vicariously lived this "Furious 7" moment so I still become nervous every time Brian is climbing up the charabanc and running across it in sneakers that likely have lilliputian-to-no grip.
I have to say nosotros deliberated for a while over whether or not this moment should go ahead or backside Dom and Letty'due south oil tanker escape. While both require our characters to be fast and furious, nosotros decided Brian's escape to safety was more than strenuous and stressful to watch since Dom never loses his cool or looks concerned. Dom also had the luxury of being inside a vehicle whereas Brian had to take multiple steps to ensure he didn't fly off a cliff.
For those reasons, this is likewise ahead of the Corvette scene from "Fast Five" because Brian and Dom had more than control over their fates when they decided to jump off a cliff. In "Furious vii," Brian had to outrun falling off of one, which, nosotros believe would be much more difficult.
ix. Dom crashes his automobile into a bridge in order to propel himself across a gap to catch and save Letty mid-air.
Acuna: This is the ultimate "ride or dice" family unit moment in the franchise.
Dom, sensing that Letty'due south near to be hurled from the peak of a tank, somehow steers his car into a bridge while simultaneously readying himself to dive and catch his wife.
Letty doesn't even call back who Dom is at this betoken because she has amnesia. When she later on asks him how he knew that a car would be there to break their fall, he says he didn't. Information technology was just faith. (Tug at our heartstrings some more, Toretto!)
In reality, he couldn't live if he knew he didn't try to salve her. I could watch this moment over and over again on repeat. I don't intendance if the science doesn't hold up. This is "Fast" physics, babe.
Singh: Without hesitation, Dom purposely crashed his car and lept to catch Letty mid-fall, defying gravity in the process. If there were ever fans skeptical about the love that they accept for each other, I think this scene put those doubts to balance.
8. Brian and Mia flip a busload of convicts to interruption Dom out of jail.
Acuna: Do we count this for "Fast Iv" or "Fast 5" because this scene happens in both films? (Personally, I call up we count it every bit "Five" because I like to pretend the fourth film didn't happen sometimes.)
Anyway, Dom's getting hauled abroad to jail at the end of the fourth film and that isn't sitting well with Brian and Mia. Dom, going to jail? Come on. Get real. Brian and Mia decide to become Dom off the bus any way possible.
This is some other reckless scene because they could accept killed Dom in the process.
Singh: I do relish a proficient pre-prison breakout. This was a peachy way to open "Fast V," which is arguably the best movie in the franchise. I don't think Brian gets enough credit for stopping the Charter right in forepart of the jitney, which caused it to flip over and aid to free Dom.
Acuna:That bus flips over at least 6 times. Information technology's remarkable they didn't kill anyone. (Even the news anchor sounds shocked.) On the film'south commentary, director Justin Lin said they put three canons under the motorcoach to get information technology to flip like that because, as he learned, buses aren't supposed to be able to practice that.
I'm not sure they really thought out this program too well, and that'due south why information technology'due south so loftier up on our list. Not only practice Mia and Brian show off their fast driving skills, simply this has to be i of the most "furious" scenes for the duo because they don't seem to consider the possibility that they could kill Dom. They only don't want him in prison.
Questionable planning aside, it's great seeing Brian drive Dom'south iconic Charger here. No 1 else e'er drives that car.
7. Dom and Brian drag a bank vault full of millions of dollars through Rio.
Acuna:The end of "Fast Five" will forever exist the moment that solidified my love for the Fast fam. We spent the majority of the moving picture with Dom'southward coiffure planning out a calculated heist. At the terminal minute, that plan goes out the window as The Rock's character teams upwards with Dom to simply break into the police headquarters to allow Brian and Dom to strap a bank vault to their cars and race off through the streets with it.
It's such a ridiculous scene. This bank vault mercilessly takes out everything in its path. Cop cars, street lights, a depository financial institution antechamber. Nothing is condom from the vault.
This is the scene that gear up the bar for ridiculous, over-the-peak scenes in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise moving forward. No thing where they current of air upward by the finish of the franchise, this will forever be my all-fourth dimension favorite.
Singh: "Fast Five" walked so "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" could run. If you know, you know.
The whole picture show was edifice up to this heist, and information technology didn't disappoint. It was a great bear witness of teamwork and led to a satisfying decision for the team.
6. Dom and the gang bring an aircraft carrier crashing down with cars.
Acuna: There was no way we could make this list andnotdiscuss the longest fictional airplane runway in the history of cinema. (BBC estimates it at 26 miles long.)
In the over xv-minute sequence, we get a gun fight, automobile chase, the Rock and Vin Diesel fuel teaming up, multiple cars dragging a cargo aeroplane down and causing it to explode, Owen Shaw getting tossed from a plane, and the very deplorable (but heroic) death of Gisele (Gal Gadot). You also get to watch Michelle Rodriguez toss Gina Carano's character out of a airplane.
It's a mini-movie unto itself.
Singh: There was a lot going on in this scene. Perhaps besides much?
Dom drives a car out of the center of the burning cargo plane.
It just felt like at that place were many moving parts crammed in here, all of which were only mentioned. The sequence is so long that fans have uploaded it on YouTube in parts.
5. "Zombie cars" fly out of a New York City parking garage after Cipher'south team hacks all the cars in a two-mile radius.
Singh: This is 1 of the standout moments in the franchise, for me. Manager F. Gary Gray spent weeks planning and executing the scene where Cipher hacks over 1,000 cars and many crash from a garage onto a urban center street.
Hundreds of cars were destroyed in the making of the scene, and Grayness said that he did information technology "for the fans."
Acuna: I never thought I was going to hear the phrase, "It'southward zombie time," outside of "The Walking Dead" universe, which I encompass at large for u.s.a..
This is only such a wild moment I could barely believe what was happening in theaters when I was offset watching "F8." This scene made me a bit skeptical of cocky-driving cars.
4. Dom sends a heat-seeking missile into a submarine and and then somehow manages to escape being engulfed in a fiery explosion.
Acuna: I had no clue how Dom's Charger was going to outrun a missile, but I'one thousand not sure why I ever doubted the leader of the "Fast" family.
Dom has basically become a superhero at this point, that, of course, he'south able to avoid the missile's huge explosion by hitting a part of the submarine perfectly so that his car does a total 90-degree turn to avoid the boom. I expect null less from the human being who walked away from the "Fast half-dozen" airplane burn unscathed.
Singh: This scene really captures the center of these movies, which is family (in example that wasn't clear from the number of times the characters have said that word throughout the franchise). The symbolism of Dom'south team creating a barrier to protect him from the backwash of the submarine explosion was beautiful.
2. Dom, Brian, Roman, and more parachute cars out of a plane to state in a mountainous region undetected.
Singh: I love everything virtually this scene: the complete absurdity of information technology, Roman's very understandable panic, Brian's pep talk, and Tej forcibly removing Roman from the aeroplane by remotely activating his parachute. It's a miracle that Roman survived so long in this franchise, honestly.
Acuna: Roman trying to step on the brakes to forestall the automobile from leaving the plane is probably ane of the funniest moments of that picture.
I'm pretty sure I thought this was just a funny over-the-top stunt until I learned that they actually dropped real cars from planes to motion-picture show this scene afterwards prepping for months. Ever since 2009'due south fourth film in the franchise, "Fast" loves pushing the limits on what they can do practically and this took it to the extreme.
People parachuted alongside the cars to capture footage, freefalling at over 120 mph. That'south dedication!
1. Owen Shaw's tank murder spree tops the list, for now.
Acuna: In "Fast 6," Own Shaw drives a tank out of a convoy and starts gleefully crushing cars with people inside of them similar a madman.
Despite the picture showing some drivers swerving out of the style or fleeing their cars for safe before they're crushed, Owen definitely carelessly murders a number of people equally he makes his way down the highway. It even leads Roman to leap from his auto onto the back of Brian'southward in the above photograph.
It'due south definitely one of the most sinister moments of the franchise.
Singh: Owen's complete disregard for the lives of the innocent civilians on the road is appalling. "Sinister" is a bang-up way to describe it. I guess blowing up bridges and driving a tank over cars filled with people are fun for him.
Acuna: Yeah, this has to top our listing (until we add "F9'south" over-the-top moments) simply because Shaw gets away with cold-blooded murder and is never held answerable.
