10 Movie Franchises That Didn't Care About HUGE Plot Holes

2. Shaw Killed Han...And Nobody Cares - The Fast & The Furious

Way back in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Han (Sung Kang) is killed in a nasty car accident, but thanks to the series' screwy timeline, he's able to appear in the subsequent three sequels.

Fast & Furious 6's post-credits scene then re-aligns the series' timeline with the events of Tokyo Drift, depicting Han's death from an alternate perspective, before revealing that his fatal accident was caused by none other than Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham).

And though Shaw serves as Furious 7's antagonist, he ends up joining the team in the eighth film, The Fate of the Furious, with hilariously little attention paid to the fact that, you know, he murdered one of the team.

Some fans have speculated that this may result in Han returning to the franchise in order to soften the nature of Shaw's actions, but regardless, the speedy manner in which Shaw is accepted by the team just comes across as totally jarring and inconsistent with the series' much-ballyhooed family dynamic. #JusticeForHan
