11. Dom Turns On His Team To Save Brian & Mia - The Fate Of The Furious

The Prediction: It was clear as day to everyone that there was going to be an easy explanation for Dominic Toretto's decision to turn his back on his team and side with Charlize Theron's villain Cipher.

The most prominent theory among fans was that Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner, Dom's sister Mia and their two children had been kidnapped by Cipher, forcing Dom to co-operate in order to save their lives. Makes sense, right?

The Reality: Amusingly, this seemingly blindingly obvious twist was actually subverted, and it's in fact revealed that Cipher has been holding Dom's former lover Elena hostage along with their young son, the existence of who Dom was previously unaware.

It's still suitable soap opera nonsense, but a fun twist on exactly what fans were expecting. Plus, we got to see Jason Statham killing Cipher's goons while carrying a baby: what more could you possibly want?
