25->''"Seriously, this trailer ''only'' interrupts the action for one reason: [[MaleGaze slow pushes on neat butts]].\
26It probably goes without saying, but just in case, I should point out that these are not [[PlotPoint plot-forwarding]] butts. Creator/VinDiesel never says, "Hey, Ludacris, Other Guy, get outta that car and come over here; we need to drive fast cars or those butts are going to '''explode'''!" The Rock never pulls over to the side of the road saying, "Damn, they're getting away with all of the car money. I'd be able to catch them, but I'm out of gas, and my car runs on butts." They serve no story function. Just butts for butts' sake."''
