Fast & Furious Franchise: 20 Greatest Action Sequences Ranked

15. Fast Five - Favela Chase

Most of this franchise's action scenes involve cars, but the series does actually have a good track record with foot-chases and fight scenes as well. This early action sequence from Fast Five, in which Dom, Brian and Mia are chased through a Rio favela by Luke Hobbs and his team is a great example of this.

A favela, with its unstable environment and many different levels, is a great location for this kind of scene and sure enough, it more than delivered in Fast Five. It's a fabulous chase sequence that packs a thrilling punch thanks to wonderful stunts and excellent cinematography and editing.

It's also the first time that viewers ever saw Luke Hobbs in action and it showed just how much of a glorious bad-ass that character is. Overall, this is one of the highlights of the entire film.
