Go To

  • The series' trademark crazy action is taken so far off the scale that it's basically impossible not to have your mind blown during every action scene at least once. Among the highlights:
    • The gang's rescue of Ramsey in the mountains of Azerbaijan, starting with them parachuting out of an airplane in their awesome cars, then moving onto a giant armored bus armed with several machineguns, Brian's fight with the martial arts expert on said bus while it's careening off the edge of the cliff and his subsequent Nathan Drake-esque escape, and Dom escaping the mountain by driving right off the edge.
    • The mission to Abu Dhabi. It was going to be quite simple. Ramsey is going to talk with an associate of hers to get the God's Eye that everyone is looking for, but then he tells her that he had sold it to a billionaire who is hosting a party inside the one of the city's tallest skyscrapers. The crews then dressed sharply to infiltrate the party. Brian and Dom then finds that said equipment is hidden within a Lykan Hypersport, a very rare sports car with only 7 produced in the world. The plan goes awry when Letty's cover is blown and Deckard arrives. With nowhere to escape, Dom races the car outside the windows, jumping between two freakin' buildings, using Deckard's explosives to propel them forward. And seeing Brian still struggled to get the God's Eye out of the car, he does it again, launching the car to the third building as it runs out of control, then and only then do both Brian and Dom jump out of the car just before it plummets down into the streets below, finally getting the bloody thing they came for.
  • During the thwarted attempt to capture Shaw, Mr. Nobody puts on a pair of glasses and with dual pistols take out a couple of elite specop mercenaries. True his kill count is pretty low for the series and in his stupidity of gun twirling to attempt reloading his pistols, he gets taken out quickly. But tit shows Mr. Nobody is no Armchair General and actually has it in him to got o the frontlines. Doubles in awesomeness as he manages to survive his gun wound to live on to the res tof the series.
  • Hobbs during the climax. First, he declares, "Daddy's gotta go to work" before breaking off the cast on his armnote . Then he gears up and drives an ambulance right onto the drone that's chasing Letty and Ramsey. Then, he shoots a minigun at Jakande's chopper before destroying it and Jakande completely after Dom leaves a bag of grenades hooked onto the chopper.
  • Dom and Shaw's street fight.
    • Hobbs and Shaw's initial fight, with The Rock giving Jason Statham a Rock Bottom.
    • Prior to the street fight, Dom and Shaw engages in a game of chicken for the second time, this time Dom performed a wheelie with his Charger before he collides head-on with Shaw, and the Charger's chassis smashes into the front end of Shaw's DB9, destroying it.
  • Brian's rematch with Kiet, one of Jakande's minions (played by Tony Jaa). He hooks Kiet to a large weight and rolls it down an elevator shaft, taking Kiet with it.
    Brian: Too slow!
  • After Hobbs starts firing on his helicopter and kills Jakande's door gunner, instead of just hightailing it, Jakande gets behind the BFG himself and would have likely killed them if not for Dom tossing some grenades on the chopper.
  • Combined with Visual Effects of Awesome, the use of CGI and past footage to digitally recreate Paul Walker following his death his nothing short of stunning. While the iconic ending scene on the highway has been pointed out as fake-looking by some, there are dozens of smaller scenes and moments where Walker's face is completely CGI, and hardly anyone notices.
    • In the end, the crew had to digitally replicate Paul Walker for over 260 shots in the final film. The fact that only a handful of shots were called out by fans is nothing short of miraculous.
