* TeeteringOnTheEdge: During the transport attack in the Caucasus Mountains, Brian gets into a fight on the villain's bus vehicle. The driver is killed in the scuffle causing the bus to careen on it's side and right for a cliff. Brian's opponent manages to trap him in the vehicle and jump out. Brian manages to free himself, get out a window hovering over the cliff side, climb up and run along the bus before it teeters over. Heck he ''almost'' doesn't clear the jump and only saved when Letty arrives, skids her car around for Brian to grab onto the back end and sling him back to safe ground.

* FrustratingLie: Early on in the film, after a long day at the DSS office, [[FairCop Elena Neves]] decides to go home for the night, but her partner [[ActionGenreHeroGuy Luke Hobbs]] decides to stay behind and do a check. When he claims that he's not doing it out of paranoia, Elena tells Hobbs, "You're a terrible liar," but in an affectionate way, and she lets it slide. When Hobbs goes back inside the building, though, he finds [[EvilBrit Deckard Shaw]] hacking into his computer, and his attempt at bluffing the villain goes just as poorly:
-->'''Shaw:''' I'm not interested in your computer. I'm [[AvengingTheVillain looking for the team that crippled my brother]]. ''[His brother, in this case, being Owen Shaw, the BigBad of [[Film/FastAndFurious6 the previous film]]]''\\
'''Hobbs:''' There ain't no goddamn team. It was just [[OneManArmy one man]]. And he's standing right in front of you.\\
'''Shaw:''' ''[finishes downloading the information he needs onto his USB stick and turns his chair around to face Hobbs]'' The lady was right. [[PreAsskickingOneLiner You]] ''[[PreAsskickingOneLiner are]]'' [[PreAsskickingOneLiner a terrible liar]]. ''[kicks the desk in front of him over and starts attacking Hobbs]''

Combining notes and spoilers makes it really difficult to actually see the entire example. The Charger getting wrecked isn't really a spoiler either, just the specific details

Misuse (averted examples don't need to be mentioned)


* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Surprisingly ''averted''. Brian running up the bus as it slides off the cliff is 100% plausible.



* TrailersAlwaysLie: The trailer implies that Kara and Kiet are part of Deckard Shaw’s team. [[spoiler: Kara is really the bodyguard of a Jordanian prince whose car the team needs to steal and Kiet works for Mose Jakande, the movie’s ''other'' BigBad who doesn’t even appear in the trailers.]]

* MommyMobile: Brian, now retired, drives a Chrysler minivan and isn't fully adjusted to life as a family man. His introductory scene in the film has him dramatically revving a car's engine and shifting it into gear... only to then cut to reveal that he's actually in the van in front of his son's school, clearly nostalgic for his past adventures.

* MacGuffin: Subverted with the God's Eye. It sounds a lot like a usual [=MacGuffin=] -- a device that can hack into anything and trace anyone anywhere -- but once it's recovered, it's used almost immediately to find Deckard. It's used again during the climax [[spoiler:by Jakande to track down Ramsey and keep her from locking him out of it]].

* HomeFieldAdvantage: The team invokes this trope by stating that they should face their adversaries on the streets they know best: Los Angeles. Indeed, their intimate knowledge of LA and its streets buys the team several moments to keep the "big game of hot potato" going, pulling the switch in places they know Jakande can't see from the air.

** Deckard nails Hobbs with one during their fight scene. In a more realistic take on the trope, it only stuns him for less than a couple of seconds.
