Fast & Furious 9: 20 WTF Moments
6. Plot Twist! Jakob Didn't Kill Dom's Dad
A flashback reveals the reason that Dom and Jakob became estranged in the first place - Dom suspects that his younger brother played a part in their father's death, and ran him out of town by beating him in a race.
But as isn't a hugely surprising "plot twist," Jakob reveals late in the story that he didn't intentionally kill their dad.
Instead, their father was under financial strain and plotted to throw the race, with Jakob assisting him by tampering with his car, with the understanding that he keep it a secret from Dom. The resulting explosion was a total accident.
Obviously this all could've been sorted out with a conversation back in the day, but that's not how movies are made.
Still, anyone who's seen a Fast and Furious movie or two knows that nobody, no matter how villainous they might seem, is beyond a convoluted redemption arc.
