10 Most Ridiculous Stunts In Fast And The Furious Movies

How do you top a set piece on a massive cargo plane? You fire up the nuclear sub, as the gang square off against cyber-terrorist Cipher.

In the final act of the film, the vessel is in hot pursuit of the crew, making their way across some treacherous ice. Dom taunts Cipher over video-link - enraged, she orders a heatseeking missile hit on our heroes.

The projectile launches and Dom leads it away from the others. With some clever drifting, he evades the missile, before it turns in the air and reacquires its target. Dom guns the throttle back towards the chasing sub, hitting an ice ramp to jump across the behemoth, as the heatseeker slams into the vessel, causing a huge explosion.

His car flips out of control and is engulfed in flames. Once clear, Dom bails from his spinning car on to the ice. A secondary explosion rocks the rest of the sub - with the fire spiralling out towards him. At a moment’s notice, the rest of the team form up, creating a shield of cars around him and saving him from a fiery end. Huzzah!

You’ll have to subvert your scientific thinking several times to enjoy this one. For starters, Dom out-chasing a missile while on four wheels? Dom bailing from his flipping car without so much as a scratch? Plus the cars coming in to protect him from the explosion - consider this a public service reminder that fire does not work like this.
