20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2019

12. Samoans Take Down A Chopper - Hobbs & Shaw

Hobbs and Shaw
Universal

Picking just one WTF moment from the terrifically demented Hobbs and Shaw isn't easy, but nothing tampered with the laws of physics quite as hilariously as the climactic sequence where villain Brixton (Idris Elba) attempts to take off in a chopper with Shaw's (Jason Statham) sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), only for Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and his extended Samoan family to offer some assistance.

Firstly, Hobbs throws a chain around the chopper's undercarriage, tethering his vehicle to it, and then three of his relatives consequently drive up in their own vehicles and hook themselves up to each other's cars, collectively preventing the chopper from getting away.

It's the most knowingly silly action beat of the year, and absolutely beautiful as a result, laws of physics be-damned.
