20 Most Epic Movie Moments Featuring Pro Wrestlers
3. The Rock Vs. Vin Diesel Fast Five (2011)
Affectionately regarded as Franchise Viagra by the movie press, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson earned that label by first appearing in Fast Five as DDS Agent Luke Hobbs, a doggedly determined officer of the law hot on the tail of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his gang. Given how oddly staid and by-the-book the Fast franchise had become by its fourth entry, a firm reinvention was needed, and though much of the credit goes to director Justin Lin for re-imagining the series as a heist thriller, Johnson brought an inimitable mix of brute force and charisma that made him seem absolutely unstoppable. The greatest moment of the film comes when Hobbs brawls with Toretto, mano-y-mano, in a moment of sure wish fulfillment for any self-respecting action fan.
