15 Most Bad-Ass Teams In Movie History

9. Dominic Toretto's 'Family'

Although they started as a small crew of street racers boosting DVD players in downtown Los Angeles, Dominic Toretto and his 'family' have since become a logic, physics and gravity-defying team of near-superheroes. Based on the increasingly-ridiculous yet gloriously entertaining Fast and Furious movies, it would come as no surprise if the team one day gatecrashed Marvel Studios and handed The Avengers their asses.

While it was the fourth entry that rejuvenated a series formerly on life-support, Fast Five took the series to new heights, expanding the cast, the budget and the set-pieces. Now a full-blown blockbuster action franchise, Dom's team have managed some pretty impressive feats for a rag-tag group of racers, one former cop/FBI agent and an unlikely ally in Dwayne Johnson's hulking DSS agent.

They've taken on and beaten Mexican cartels, the Brazilian mob, the US government, a rival crew led by a rogue SAS operative, and his vengeful brother. In the process they've heisted $100m, survived a tank attack, brought down an enormous plane, gone skydiving in vehicles and jumped a car between three skyscrapers to name but a few of their exploits. If that isn't bad-ass, then what is?

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
