10 Things That Would Have Happened After 2015's Biggest Movies

7. Fast And Furious 7 - Brian O'Connor's Family Start To Wonder Where He Is

Think about the ending of Fast & Furious 7 and what comes to mind? The crashing waves of the beach? Vin Diesel's stiffer-than-your-dad-watching-Countdown delivery? The perfectly measured and tear-inducing send off to the late Paul Walker as his car, symbolically, drives away down a different path? Well, yeah, they're all memorable in their own ways, but as the shot fades on Walker's emotional long drive into the distance, virtually nobody seemed to remember that in his quest to awkwardly stare into his "brother's" eyes he'd left his wife and child sat on the beach. Now he's driving into the setting sun (ergo, it's almost night time), head full of warm memories and bromantic twinges in his loins, seemingly forgetting that a woman in a nothing but a floaty dress will be fielding questions from a toddler about where it's daddy has gone and why they have no blanket to keep them warm. After making the whole ending of the film about how, in spite of everything, the most important thing to Brian O'Connor is his family, he leaves them shivering on a windy beach at the very first opportunity. "That's where he belongs" they quip, 2 minutes before he subjects an infant to the serious risk of hypothermia. "That's where he's always belonged". Maybe he'll swing back around and go pick them up at the start of Fast And Furious 8. Oh no, wait...
