* AssholeVictim: While Fenix does suffer a horrendous death at the end of the film, he's a cartel lieutenant who antagonizes Brian and Dom and personally executed Braga's last batch of drug runners.
** Dwight is a cocky drug runner for Braga's cartel who is constantly antagonizing Brian for driving a Nissan and taunts him after Dom spins him out in the audition race. It's hard to feel sorry for him when Brian brings the DEA into his house ([[CaughtWithYourPantsDown while he's filming amateur softcore pornography]]) and has him arrested to take his place in Braga's organization.

* CurbStompCushion: Dom attacking Brian. Brian is obviously not as strong as Dom and gets knocked around, but he manages to fight off Dom even when he is downed, blocking most of his punches, and even manages to get his legs around Dom's head to hold him back, with Dom having to put in real effort to get out of it. While he didn't fight Dom head-on unlike the likes of Hobbs, Jakob, Deckard, and Owen, he still does a lot better than anyone else apart from those four when pitted against Dom's wrath, and he ''did'' held back, as he acknowledged he deserved to be beaten down and just tried to calm Dom down without actually trying to fight back.
