Each example is supposed to be about one trope only, no "slash" troping. Additionally, trope names should never go in spoilers.

Added example(s), removed needless reviewer reference


* ArtisticLicensePhysics: The entirety of the climactic chase scene. Towards the end, Dom drags the ten-ton vault behind his car as though it weighs nothing, until he jumps out of the car and the vault starts pulling the car around as if ''it'' weighs nothing. The only way that makes sense is if Dom himself weighs significantly more than ten tons such that the mass of the vault is negligible compared to the combined mass of Dom and his car, but the mass of the car is negligible compared to the mass of the vault. As ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' put it: "[R]ide along while these rebels break every law in the book... of Physics!"

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: The entirety of the climactic chase scene. scene, where Brian and Dom tow a vault with $100 million inside with two Dodge Chargers and outmaneuver the poilce. The entire scene more or less ignores the weight of the vault:
** While the two Chargers are theoretically powerful enough to tow the vault, it would be at an extremely low acceleration. Such a chase scene would end in a matter of seconds since any vehicle would be able to overtake them. Additionally, they should have lost speed every time the vault collided with something.
** Cornering would be impossible. At the speeds they were going, either the chain or the tow points would have broken off.

Towards the end, Dom drags the ten-ton vault behind his car as though it weighs nothing, nothing (and just as effectively as if Brian's car was still connected), until he jumps out of the car and the vault starts pulling the car around as if ''it'' weighs nothing.

Misuse (trope is not about simply listing a bunch of crimes. It is about when the last item in a list is less serious than the others. This would be an example if the last crime mentioned was something petty but that never happens)


* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Hobbs and Elena pull up every crime on each member of Toretto's crew, despite Toretto and Brian being their only real targets.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Reyes claims that 500 years ago, Spaniards tried to conquer Brazil by force and were wiped out by the natives, after which the Portuguese came and succeeded where their neighbors had failed because they gained control over the natives through commerce. However, this is pure, unadulterated fantasy. The real reason why Brazil ended up in Portuguese hands was the Treaty of Tordesillas, an accord between the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal that divided the world into two zones to conquer for each, with Brazil falling on the Portuguese side. Spain never tried to conquer Brazil, which would have broken the treaty, and even if they had actually tried, it's very unlikely the natives would have been able to mount any significant resistance, as most of them were small tribal populations with very underdeveloped ways (nothing remotely comparable to the Mexica or Inca empires).
