Just like the Chucky series, the Fast & Furious movies have remained strong even numerous entries deep, with Fast Five marking a turning point for the franchise that saw it become a high-octane action bonanza, and a major player at the box-office.

Fast & Furious 6 continued that trend, making even more money than its predecessor and using a mid-credits scene to tease Furious 7, which ended up being the best movie in the series to date, as well as the highest-grossing.

The scene takes place during The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and shows several cars having a street race through the titular city. Han is behind the wheel of one of these cars, and shortly after he pulls a slick turn through a crowded street, his vehicle is rammed from the side, resulting in a crash that sends his car up in a ball of flame. The man who caused the crash? Deckard Shaw, played by Jason Statham.

Shaw would go on to be the main villain in Furious 7, before becoming a more heroic figure in The Fate Of The Furious, and the upcoming Hobbs & Shaw. Statham is an absolute joy to watch in the role, with his cocky attitude and no-nonsense approach to basically everything making him one of the best characters in the series, right up there with The Rock's Luke Hobbs.
