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

1. The Entire Baby Sequence

Long after the Fast & Furious franchise is shelved and gathering dust, cinematic audiences will still talk about the ludicrous, genius sequence that sees Jason Statham carrying a Beats wearing baby (listening to the infuriating earworm Chipmunks Christmas song of all things) through several slickly choreographed fight scenes.

It is jaw-dropping in its boldness and its silliness, and thanks to Statham's martial arts background and very good directing, it's basically everything you could ever want from an action film. There are as many visual gags as there is full-blooded action, and the enjoyment factor of the entire movie peaks here.

Pretty sure I'd watch a buddy cop movie where Deckard Shaw and the baby tackle bad guys and solve crimes together.

And just to add some more lunacy, there's a bit where the baby gives Shaw a hand signal to say he's enjoying the music, and then tells him that it was the bad guy who sh*t himself, rather than the baby himself. It is still the single greatest action sequence I have ever seen.

Still, it doesn't make up for the fact that there's no post-credits scene tying it to number 9, which would have been nice.
