Anyone who's seen the trailers won't be shocked to learn that the double-act between The Rock and Jason Statham's Hobbes and Deckard Shaw steals the show in almost every scene featuring the pair.

Their back-and-forth banter is hysterical from the get-go, and they're also thrown together in a prison break sequence that's easily the best fight scene in the entire franchise.

The Rock's charm combines with The Stath's gritty wit to make them a consistently hilarious highlight, and their animosity absolutely needs to be exploited as much as possible in future movies.
