15 Fast X moments & stunts, ranked by how ridiculous they are

Fast X, the tenth action-packed chapter of the Fast Saga, is packed with epic, ridiculous stunts and superhuman feats by Dom and company.

Fast X, the tenth installment in the Fast Saga, has an abundance of the action movie absurdity that the Fast & Furious franchise is known for. In Fast X, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) finds his past catching up with them with the arrival of the sadistic Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), the son of their Fast Five enemy Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida). Determined to take revenge for his father’s death and the loss of millions of dollars, Dante’s plan forces Dom and his family to band together once again.

The legacy of the Fast Saga is one of the most unique in action movies, with 2001’s The Fast and the Furious starting the franchise out in a Point Break-esque story of Dom and company as street racers. The ever-increasing scale of the Fast & Furious movies has led to each movie not only getting bigger than the last, but more and more grandiose. Fast X, of course, just continues to push the Fast & Furious envelope, and with the goofy zeal of his performance, Jason Momoa is a fitting final Fast Saga villain. Here are the top 15 best action scenes and stunts in Fast X in order of pure ridiculousness.

15.Letty & Cipher’s Fall During Their Fight Scene

During Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and Cipher’s (Charlize Theron) big fight scene in the high-tech prison, the two fall through a window to land on a lower level med bay. This is hardly one of the Fast Saga‘s more outright absurd moments, but it does bend the realism of Letty and Cipher’s fight with their fall being a good 15 to 20 feet and neither being at all injured or hindered by the landing. Action movies toss characters from heights like this all the time, and it definitely qualifies as a moment of imperviousness to injury on Letty and Cipher’s parts.

14.Jakob’s Mini Aircraft In The Airplane’s Cargo Hold

Jakob Toretto (John Cena) and Dom’s son Brian (Leo Abelo Perry) – named after Paul Walker’s Brain O’Conner – covertly depart a commercial airliner in a small aircraft hidden in the cargo bay, in order to lend Dom and his family a hand against Dante. While not as big of a physics violation as other big Fast X moments, it is a case of the heroes of the Fast & Furious movies always having a way out of a tight situation. How Jakob smuggled the aircraft on board and how it is perfectly suited for both he and Brian to breath in at 36,000 feet is never explained, but in the Fast Saga, it’s an unimportant detail.

13.Gisele’s Return

Fast X‘s final scene shows the return of Gisele Yashar (Gal Gadot) in a submarine emerging from the icy arctic to rendezvous with Letty and Cipher. While this confirms that Gisele did not die in Fast and Furious 6, her survival flies in the face of anything resembling reality. During the runway chase of Fast & Furious 6, Gisele falls from a car dangling onto a cargo plane, landing onto a concrete airport tarmac at high speed. While her landing happens off-screen, it absolutely would have been fatal in any circumstance other than in a Fast & Furious movie.

12.Dante Survives The Fast Five Chase

In its opening prologue recap of Fast Five, Fast X includes a big franchise retcon with Dante pursuing Dom and co. as they drag the bank vault through Rio de Janiero and onto a bridge. As the chase the ends, the out of control safe tumbles across the bridge and smashes into Dante’s car, knocking him and his associates into the river below. Dante reveals later in the movie that he had been dead for two minutes before regaining consciousness. However, the odds of his survival would be slim at best, especially with the safe hitting his side of the car directly, which realistically should have killed him.

11.The Punching Bag Victim Hit By A Hummer

The arrival of Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) into Fast X is an overlap with F9‘s end-credits scene, which shows Shaw kicking and punching a heavy bag with an unfortunate enemy inside. In Fast X, the scene goes even further with a Hummer driving into the building and smashing into the bag. After Shaw and Han (Sung Kang) fight off Dante’s henchmen, the terrified man inside breaks free and runs away, but this is a big stretch. After being softened up by Shaw and being subsequently hit by a car, the man in the bag would almost certainly be among the characters who die in Fast X.

10.Jakob Slams An Opponent Through The Floor

When Jakob Toretto arrives at Dom’s house to protect Mia (Jordana Brewster) and Brian from Dante’s henchmen, he power slams one opponent through the floor of the second story of the house. While the floor might have been loosened up a bit from the spray of bullets sent through the floor, even a man with Jakob’s level of strength would never have been able to send another human being through the floor with such impact as to cause the floor itself to give out.

9.Dante’s Bomb Rolls Through Rome

When Dante realizes his plot to have his bomb driven to the Vatican has been thwarted by Dom and his family, he elects to remotely open the doors of the truck and let the bomb roll uncontrollably through the streets of Rome to its destination. Dante later tells Dom this was a back-handed tribute of sorts to the safe heist in Rio, but the huge metallic bomb easily weighs as much as a car. With the engineering it would take to design a bomb like this, it would be very unlikely to be able to crash through Rome like the wrecking ball it becomes.

8.Cipher’s Elevator Crash

When Cipher fights her henchmen coerced by Dante to turn against her, she ends up inside an elevator with one of them, with the cables cut and the elevator speeding to the bottom floor. When the elevator slams into the ground level, Cipher’s opponent is killed but she miraculously survives. Of course, there is little real chance that Cipher could have actually experienced such a violent elevator crash and live to tell the tale.

7.Dom Outruns The Explosion’s Shockwave

After Dante’s bomb explodes in Rome’s Tiber River, the shockwave ripples through Rome with many buildings being badly damaged. The shockwave also sends numerous cars flying through the air, and while the rear wheels of Dom’s car are momentarily lifted off the ground, he manages to speed ahead of the shock wave. Naturally, this is grounded in reality just as much as the space car in F9.

6.Dom Drops His Car From The Cargo Plane

As the final car chase of Fast X begins, Dom enters the chase in the most over-the-top way possible – specifically, by backing his car out of a cargo plane, and landing on top of one driven by some of Dante’s crew. The cargo plane is at least 200 feet above the highway when Dom backs out, so not only would the fall have killed him, but the car would have been damaged to the point of no longer being able to drive. That is, of course, not the case when the currency of the Fast Saga is family over physics.

5.Dom Tilts A Car With One Hand

During the battle on the bridge from Fast Five‘s climactic chase, Dom rigs a car tilted on its side to drive towards some of Dante’s henchmen. To get the car going, Dom simply grabs the frame with one hand and tilts the car onto all four wheels. While Dante compliments Dom’s feat of strength, Dom tilting the car into an upright position with one hand is a moment where the character appears superhuman.

4.Little Brian Jumps From One Car To Another

When Dom catches up to Dante’s car in the final chase, both he and Dante end up in a spiral with one door open. Dom calls out to Brian to jump from Dante’s car to his, with Dom’s young son making the leap successfully. Dom most assuredly would have gotten his son killed if he had pulled this off in the real world, but in the Fast Saga, it is a perfectly workable escape method.

3.Dom Destroys Two Helicopters With His Car

During the climactic chase, two helicopters piloted by Dante’s henchmen harpoon Dom’s car and start winching it into the air. Dom manages to counter this with a burst of NOS into his engine, landing his car back on the road, with the propulsion of the NOS pulling the two helicopters forward and causing them to crash into each other. This, of course, is another instance where both Dom and the Fast Saga show how casually they can violate the laws of physics.

2.Dom Spins A Crane With His Car

As Dante’s bomb nears the Vatican, Dom devises a last-minute strategy to stop it by driving his car off a bridge. The vehicle struck a construction crane, causing the other end of the crane to crash into the bomb. The collision sent it off course into the Tiber River.Dom’s strategy might work in the Fast & Furious universe with the power of family by his side. In reality, though, Dom’s makeshift railroad track switch method would never have been successful.

1.Dom Drives His Car Down The Face Of A Dam

Fast X saves its best moment of utter absurdity for last when Dom finds himself and Brian concerned between two semi-trucks atop a dam. When Dante remote pilots the cars toward them, Dom drives his car off the dam and drives directly down the face of the dam for several hundred feet until reaching the river below. Dom and Brian are even briefly in danger of being enveloped by the flames of the two trucks exploding, but a quick boost of NOS puts Dom and Brian out of harm’s way for a safe landing.

Dom’s drive down a dam is not only the most ridiculous moment of action movie glory in Fast X, but easily in the top five such moments of the entire Fast Saga. However, Fast X‘s cliffhanger ending only shows the first half of it, with Dante setting the dam to explode. This strongly indicates that Fast & Furious 11 might very well show an even more absurd payoff for Dom’s epic dam stunt in Fast X.
