Fast & Furious 8: 23 WTF Moments In The Fate Of The Furious

7. The Heavily Fortified Limo Is Terrible (And So Is Its Guard)

If you're going to make a limo that is designed to be impenetrable, bullet-proof and as safe as a panic room for your diplomat and his nuclear codes, you should probably make its weak-points the strongest points. Like, protect the fuel line as a priority, for instance, rather than making it completely penetrable with a buzz-saw.

Also, when Dom - in his amazing riot gear costume - attacks the limo to retrieve the codes - one of the guards shoots him with his machine gun (which has a ridiculously small clip and no spares, obviously), and then shouts "I'm out!" helpfully. At this stage, free from being shot, Dom drops his shield and walks slowly to the car.

So why didn't the guard think to get the mounted heavy machine gun out again to kill him? He'd just used it to try and shoot the zombie cars, so it's not like he wasn't aware it was there.
