“Effectively that was new,” says Letty.

Wow. You guys are going to hell.”

Because the bomb picks up velocity rolling towards St. Peters, the entire scene has the impact of a Raiders of the Misplaced Ark(opens in a brand new tab)–model ball chase, as Letty tries to evade it on her motorcycle, and Dom drives backwards down historical Roman stairs to get out of its method. It is all ridiculous.  

At one level, it hurtles previous an outside restaurant. In pursuit, Dom, not one to let diners get fried, manages to drag what’s often known as a snowboarding stunt (driving on two wheels on one aspect of the automotive) to pull the awning of the restaurant down along with his automotive, blocking the fiery inferno. Such manners.

These three tiny 50 milliliter bottles of vodka? The gasoline for the airplane. Now, I am no scientist, however how this airplane makes it to a protected touchdown is past me.  

28. Dom’s airplane drop within the Charger in Quick X

This one looks like a throwback to the airplane drop in Livid 7. As Dante pursues Jakob’s cannon-customised 1967 Chevrolet El Camino with a purpose to kidnap Little B, Dom figures the quickest method to attain his enemy is by airdropping his Dodge Charger on high of the automotive of one in all Dante’s henchmen. He lands it and drives proper into the race.

29. Dom leashed by two helicopters in Quick X

Through the closing showdown between Dom and Dante, Dom’s Charger is leashed by two helicopters. Informal. How would a Toretto get out of such a predicament? NOS, in fact.

In all this, Dom manages to catch his son Little B midair, leaping from the villain’s automotive into his father’s.

“Did you hit me with a helicopter again there? Ow! Ya massive brute,” is all Dante can say about all this. 

 30. The dam slide in Quick X
