10 Movie Cliffhangers Nobody Cared About

The generally middling reception to the most recent Fast and the Furious movie, Fast X, was topped off by the mesmerisingly cheeky manner in which it ended.

Or rather, didn't end.

After Dom (Vin Diesel) rescues his son Little B (Leo Abelo Perry) from villain Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), he's forced to drive off the edge of a dam in order to avoid two remote controlled trucks from crashing into him at the top.

Dom's car eventually hits the water at the bottom and both father and son manage to escape to the surface mostly unscathed. But at that moment, Dante then blows up the dam, leaving the fates of Dom and Little B apparently uncertain moments before the end credits roll.

Needless to say, the series has such comically low stakes for its characters, who can be constantly resurrected without consequence or logic, that it's near-impossible to be even remotely concerned for Dom or his son. We know they're fine, so what's the point?

To hammer home the utter listlessness of this cliffhanger, the film's final scene immediately afterwards brings Gisele (Gal Gadot) back from the dead, again compounding that death means absolutely nothing in these movies.

Because the audience isn't worried for Dom or Little B and few will give much of a damn that Gisele is back, the whole ending falls laughably flat. At least Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is back though, right?
