A car? In outer space? You're damn right it is.
- The movie opens with the 1990-1997 Universal Pictures logo (with the 1997 fanfare). It will bring a nostalgic feel for those who grew up with it.
- Slightly downplayed in that it would have been even more awesome to hear the original fanfare that went with that logo.
- After many jokes and rumors, the franchise has just done the impossible: It finally went to outer space.
- In the opening, Jacob drives his car off a cliff and has it picked up mid-air by a stealth plane with a magnetic clamp.
- Since the heroes are being pursued by the military and need to get off their land, Dom one-ups Jacob and drives into the cable from a collapsed rope bridge, timing it perfectly so it get jammed in the car wheels and the car is swung Tarzan-style across the water to unclaimed land. Seeing this at the end of the first trailer was enough to get lots of people sold.
- The bad guys have outfitted a van with a massive super-magnet to wreck a security system. Ramsey ends up driving it and accidentally using it to pull cars off the road. When she spots Jacob getting away on another street, she activates it to rip his car through an entire building.
- For the grand finale, the gang outfits each car with magnets for a wild chase that has dozens of cars pulled into the road to smash up enemy trucks and cars.
- The series is starting to lampshade its Artistic License – Physics attitude with Roman, who takes out fourteen guys with an AK in the opening, only to start pondering how that's even possible.
- At the start of the third act, the heroes are ambushed in their hide-out and Dom locks the door to the exit and goes Beast Mode, clotheslining, backbreaking, and pulling a Samson to tear the ceiling structure down and destroy the catwalk they're standing on.
- And if all this wasn't enough, at the very end of the finale, Dom essentially cracks the whip - with a truck. While it's on fire. Over a cliff-top. And perfectly intercepts the plane driving by!?! And manages to jump out just in time to land safely.
- When all hope seems lost, Jakob pulls a Changed My Mind, Kid and returns to help his siblings.
