10 Major Reveals From The Super Bowl Trailers

5. The Ridiculous Set-Pieces - The Fate Of The Furious

The Fast franchise somehow manages to find new ways of pushing the boundaries of ridiculousness with each movie, and Fast 8 - The Fate of the Furious - is no exception.

The movie does actually look like having a pretty solid story to go with all of the OTT action though, as Vin Diesel's Dominic turns his back on his Fast Family for some reason, leading to a major clash between him and Dwayne Johnson's Hobbs (an on-screen representation of their supposed on-set feud).

Of course, the trailer - especially a short one designed to excite during the Super Bowl - doesn't focus on that so much as it does the stunts, which are crazier than ever before.

A huge wrecking ball swings down a freeway. A battle plays out on ice between a fleet of cars and a giant submarine. There's some ice skating afterwards too, on a freakin' car door! It's all completely insane, but somehow promises a lot of entertainment.
