The Fate Of The Furious: 10 Best Moments

4. Deckard Protects Dom's Baby

Once the Shaw brothers make it on-board Cipher's airship, Deckard fetches Dom's son and attempts to escape, but is of course faced with even more of Cipher's anonymous lackeys.

What follows is a deliriously John Woo-inspired sequence in which Shaw holds the baby in one hand and kills a gang of thugs with the other, all while quipping to the poor kid and even asking whether the suspicious smell is him or one of the dead bad guys.

It shouldn't in any way work, and shows just how far the franchise has strayed from its roots, and yet, somehow, it totally fits. Plus, this scene provides yet more proof of how hilarious Jason Statham can be.
