12	''Furious 7'' is the seventh installment in the ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'' franchise.
13
14	The film brings all the characters together (except for Han) for a dramatic climax to the current story arc, directed by Creator/JamesWan (of ''Film/TheConjuring'' and ''Film/{{Insidious}}'' fame). The story takes place after the events of ''Tokyo Drift'' and has the crew facing off against the brother of the previous films villain, the [[ImplacableMan rightly feared]] Deckard Shaw (played by Creator/JasonStatham) who of course is seeking revenge for the events of the sixth movie. Complicating matters is the fact the CIA end up getting Dom and his crew involved to catch a international criminal who Deckard just happens to be working with.
15
16	This film is sadly the last appearance of Creator/PaulWalker as he was unfortunately [[DiedDuringProduction killed in a car accident over the 2013 Thanksgiving holiday]]. This caused production of the movie to stall to allow the studio to rework the film accordingly. Eventually in July 2014, Creator/VinDiesel [[http://www.topgear.com.ph/features/lifestyle/art/movies/vin-diesel-announces-new-release-date-of-fast-furious-7 announced via his Facebook page]] that the seventh film managed to finish production and was released on April 3, 2015.
17
18	For the music of the movie, see ''Music/Furious7Soundtrack''. The movie was originally titled ''Fast & Furious 7''.
19	----
20	!!''Furious 7'' contains examples of:
21	* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Several.
22	** The first is a conversation near the beginning of the film between Dom and Letty at a graveyard, where she looks at her tombstone and decides to part ways with Dom (which doesn't last long).
23	** The second is on the plane to Abu Dhabi, where Dom gives Brian some advice and encouragement for Brian to leave the old life behind and raise a family with Mia.
24	** The third is just before the climax, where Brian calls Mia to tell her that he loves her and Mia pleads with him to survive and come back home safety.
25	** After Letty tells Dom she got all her memories back, she asks him why he didn't tell her they were married. He replies, "You can't tell someone they love you."
26	** The final scene of the movie has Dom drive away from the beach, leaving Brian and Mia to raise their family. Brian catches up with him, and the two share a normal drive side by side before they part ways down two separate roads.
27	* AffirmativeActionGirl: Ramsey's addition is possibly to balance out the cast and replace Gisele's secondary female hero [[spoiler: following her death in the sixth film]].
28	* AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: Played straight with Kiet, portrayed by famous Thai actor Creator/TonyJaa, who is the only Asian in Jakande's corps and the only martial artist among them.
29	* AlwaysWithYou: An inversion in Dom/Vin Diesel's tribute to Brian/Paul Walker at the end:
30	-->'''Dom:''' No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter-mile away or halfway across the world, you'll always be with me. And you'll always be my brother.
31	* ArcWelding: ''Furious 7'' is the first movie of the series to take place after ''Tokyo Drift'' and features Sean Boswell for the first time since said movie, which finally brings ''Tokyo Drift'' out of [[GaidenGame Gaiden-status]] and into the canon proper (up until then, besides Han's inclusion in the sequels, all that even indicated ''Tokyo Drift'' was part of TheVerse was the short appearance of Dom right before the credits).
32	* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Kiet is supremely confident that he can kick Brian's ass. For the most part, he backs it up. Only for the most part.
33	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Mr. Nobody isn't a head of an elite covert ops team for nothing. [[spoiler: Even as his team got mowed down all around him during Deckard and Jakande's ambush, he remained in his calm persona and goes all GunsAkimbo on Jakande's men until [[TheDragon Kiet]] shot him and, despite being heavily injured, ultimately survived.]]
34	* AxCrazy: Jakande. How else does one explain putting twelve [[GatlingGood gatling guns]] on a fucking bus?
35	* AwardBaitSong: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk See You Again]]". Considering the song started at 100 on the Billboard Top 100, then became the tenth such song in history to peak at #1 [[note]]It only took five weeks to go from 100 to 1, breaking a record that had stood since ''1959''.[[/note]], the award baiting seems to have worked.
36	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Dom tells Letty during Race Wars to keep the Cuda's speed under 9,000 RPM, because he can tell just by one look at the opponent's car that it will burn out before the finish line. True to his word, the competitor burns out just before the race ends, allowing Letty to coast to victory.
37	* BackForTheDead:
38	** Although [[spoiler:Han]] died in ''Tokyo Drift'' (and his death was seen in ''6''), he shows up just long enough to have a few seconds of screentime before being blown up by Deckard Shaw.
39	** Korpi (the owner of the blue Camaro in ''2 Fast 2 Furious'') returns... [[spoiler:as one of Jakande's goons, who gets impaled on a tree during the Ramsey rescue]].
40	* BackFromTheDead: Dom's 1970 Dodge Charger returns yet again - Dom wrecks it once more (for those keeping track, that's the ''fifth'' time it gets wrecked[[note]]Before the events of the first film by his father, and then by Dom himself in films one, four, five, and seven[[/note]]) [[spoiler:after launching it through a ramp and tumble down the debris of a parking garage, but not before he attaches a bag of grenades onto Jakande's helicopter while in mid-air]].
41	* BadassBoast: Kiet shouts "Too slow!" at Brian after he manages to trap Brian in the bus sliding towards the cliff, the same phrase is later used by Brian against him as Brian hooks him to a large weight and roll him down the elevator shaft to his death.
42	* BadassInANiceSuit: The whole crew has to dress up to get into a billionaire's party. It might be the only time in the whole series Dom isn't in a t-shirt and jeans.
43	* BaldOfAuthority: Jakande appears to be the leader (or a very high ranking member) of his organization.
44	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: The climax has Dom, having been in a car that made a super jump up to a helicopter before plowing and flipping through a collapsing building, and [[spoiler:Deckard Shaw, having actually ''been in'' said collapsing building,]] not only fully recognizable but still mobile.
45	* BigBadDuumvirate: Deckard Shaw sets out to avenge his brother, teaming up with warlord Mose Jakande to do so.
46	* BigDamnHeroes: Hobbs shows up out of nowhere to crash an ambulance into Jakande's drone when it corners Letty and Ramsey. A couple minutes later, he [[JustInTime does the same thing]] by using the drone's minigun on [[spoiler:Jakande's helicopter when it's aiming at Dom on top of the parking garage]].
47	* BittersweetEnding: The movie ends with [[spoiler: Dom saying goodbye to Brian and driving off in different ways into the sunset.]]
48	* BloodKnight: Implied with Kara. Before she fights Letty, she remarks that the "party was getting boring."
49	* BodyguardBabes: The Jordanian prince has half a dozen female bodyguards in military attire, led by Kara (played by Ronda Rousey).
50	* BookEnds:
51	** The final scene begins with [[spoiler:[[https://31.media.tumblr.com/9f9543399bb9c281df5dc39114df4a24/tumblr_nl0zanIIdT1sdhuzuo2_500.gif Brian pulling up to Dom's car and looking at him]], just like their [[https://33.media.tumblr.com/d47338a49b2402feea212a7e01a36e95/tumblr_nl0zanIIdT1sdhuzuo1_500.gif last encounter in the original film]]]]. Also, the choice of cars: Dom's Charger (Black in the original, bare-metal gray in ''7'') to Brian's Supra (Orange in the original, White in ''7'').
52	** Dominic and Deckard's first encounter in LA. Deckard leads Dom to an underground parking lot, and then they crash their cars into each other head-on (with Deckard having the advantage) and Dom is about to have a street fight with Deckard, only for Deckard to pull out his gun and mockingly asks "You thought this was gonna be a street fight?". [[spoiler: In the climax, also in LA, it is now Dom who leads Deckard to the top floor of a parking building, with them crashing into each other in their cars again, only with their positions reversed (and Dom has the advantage this time). Deckard, who runs out of ammo, picks up a metal bar to fight Dom, but Dom pulls out his shotgun and asks [[IronicEcho "You thought this was gonna be a street fight?"]] Only this time, Dom actually fires his shotgun into the air and proceeds to fight with him man-to-man. "You're GODDAMN RIGHT it is."]]
53	* CallBack: The climactic battle is full of this.
54	** [[spoiler:Starting with the location it took place, [[WhereItAllBegan the streets of Los Angeles.]]]]
55	** [[spoiler:Dom visits his old garage and took his old, almost iconic to the franchise Dodge Charger into the battle.]]
56	** [[spoiler:Brian equips his old FBI gear.]]
57	** During the battle:
58	*** [[spoiler:Brian evades Jakande's Predator drone by hiding under a truck and uses it as cover.]]
59	*** [[spoiler:Dom dualwields wrenches against Deckard Shaw, calling back to the incident that got him in trouble in the first place]]
60	*** [[spoiler:The LAPD police cars, which were the most dreaded foes in the first two movies, also join the fray but get utterly curbstomped by the drone.]]
61	*** [[spoiler:Dom outrunning the collapsing parking building in a way that reminisces when he escaped from the collapsing tunnel in Mexico in ''4''.]]
62	* TheCameo: This movie has a fair few.
63	** [[spoiler: Hector]] makes his first reappearance since the first movie [[spoiler: where he gets punched by Letty at Race Wars]].
64	** Elena appears for a couple scenes, but is absent for the majority of the film.
65	** Sean Boswell appears for the first time since ''Tokyo Drift'' (along with Bow-Wow and Neela in archival footage).
66	** A blink-and-you'll-miss it appearance is [[spoiler: Korpi (the owner of the blue Yenko Camaro in ''2 Fast 2 Furious'')]], who reappears as one of Jakande's mooks driving the black Mercedes... [[spoiler: which gets impaled on a fallen tree pretty quickly]].
67	** Australian expat rapper Music/IggyAzalea as a driver in the Race Wars scene.
68	* CarCushion: Hobbs and Elena land together on a car roof when falling from great height. Of course both characters remain unharmed. [[spoiler:Elena is unharmed. Hobbs spends the majority of the movie in a hospital bed.]]
69	* CarFu: Tej manages to disable four of the escort vehicles during the rescue mission by [[RammingAlwaysWorks ramming his SUV]] with the extra boost from the other cars.
70	-->'''''STRIIIKE!!''' (Laughs)''
71	* TheCavalry: Elena returns to give Hobbs backup during his fight with Shaw in the offices, and later, Hobbs shows up to help Letty and Ramsey, and later Dom himself, after Jakande attacks with his helicopter and drone.
72	-->'''Letty:''' "Did you bring the cavalry?!"
73	-->'''Hobbs:''' ''(before grabbing the discarded minigun from a Predator Drone)'' "Woman, [[IAmTheNoun I ''am'' the cavalry]]."
74	* CentralTheme: '''Family'''.
75	* CombatPragmatist: At one point, Kiet eschews martial arts in favor of crushing Brian's skull with a massive thing. He's stopped in time, of course.
76	* ContinuityNod: The movie features the return of "Race Wars", from the first film, which has [[ProductPlacement apparently become such a big deal that it has booths from companies like Monster Energy, Rockstar Energy, and Xfinity]].
77	* ConvenientlyEmptyRoads: Downplayed and justified during the London chase, which takes place at night.
78	* CrazyPrepared:
79	** [[spoiler:As revealed after the failed assault against Deckard Shaw, Mr. Nobody was wearing a bulletproof vest underneath his coat, and has a medical team at his disposal in case things went to pot.]]
80	** [[spoiler:Hobbs DSS office has handguns strapped to the bottom of at least one coffee table, presumably in the event that a lunchtime argument gets ''really'' out of hand.]]
81	* CuttingTheKnot: The bad guys prevent Ramsey from hacking their drone control system by ''leveling a signal transmission tower.''
82	* DamselInDistress: The situation Ramsey finds herself in. However, she more than makes up for it afterwards.
83	* DemotedToExtra:
84	** Hobbs gets hospitalized early on due to the injuries he sustained from Deckard blowing up the DSS headquarters and doesn't get too much action until he pulls off two BigDamnHeroes during the climax.
85	** Elena only appears around the scenes where she and Hobbs escape from the explosion set by Deckard.
86	* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: Mia doesn't even do anything other than giving some moral support for Brian.
87	* DesignatedGirlFight: A [[Creator/MichelleRodriguez Letty]] vs. Kara (played by Ronda Rousey) fight ''[[KickingAssInAllHerFinery in fancy dresses]]'', after Letty beats up three female bodyguards at once.
88	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Dom is assumed to be dead after he and Hobbs destroy [[BigBad Jakande's]] helicopter, but he regains consciousness after Letty reveals she got her memory back.]]
89	* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Kiet meets his end when he is pulled down an elevator shaft by a reeling piece he is tied to.]]
90	* DynamicEntry: Roman suddenly appears from within the treeline to assist Dom in shaking off Deckard.
91	* EasyAmnesia: [[spoiler:Letty starts to remember bits and pieces and finally gets all her memories back at the end.]]
92	* EnemyMine: Shaw quotes the full version directly when revealing that [[spoiler:he's joined forces with Jokande.]]
93	* EnvironmentalSymbolism: In the final scene, [[spoiler:the location where Dom meets Brian (dressed in a white shirt and riding in a white Supra) for the last ride is at a crossroads. The final shot is of Brian splitting off from Dom and taking a fork in the road that [[RidingIntoTheSunset leads into the sunset]]]].
94	* FakeShemp: After Paul Walker's death, his brothers Caleb and Cody filled in so they could finish the movie (their faces were replaced with Paul's via CGI).
95	* {{Fanservice}}: [[FanserviceExtra The Race Wars Starter Girl]] at the start of the film. Instances include her slow motion SupermodelStrut with [[MaleGaze the camera's short view of her butt]], her [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer ambiguous flirting to Letty]], and the gyrating of her hips before initiating the race. In addition, [[spoiler:Ramsey]] gets a SexySurfacingShot when she emerges from the water to show off her bikini body.
96	* FanserviceExtra: Pretty much every women in the Race Wars and the Abu Dhabi party. Special mention goes to the Flag Girl at Letty's race.
97	* FiringInTheAirALot: Deckard arrives at the party in Abu Dhabi with a fairly hefty gun in tow and promptly makes his presence known with this.
98	* FinalBattle: The climax takes place in [[spoiler: the streets of L.A., where Dom and his team do battle with [[BigBadDuumvirate Shaw and Jakande]].]]
99	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
100	** [[spoiler:Dom says to Nobody that he could just sit tight and let Shaw come to him. Nobody retorts that getting the God's Eye would let him take the initiative. And once they do have the Eye, Shaw proceeds to lure them into a trap so he can get it and use it to hunt ''them'' down.]]
101	** "Cars don't fly."
102	* FrustratingLie: Early on in the film, after a long day at the DSS office, [[FairCop Elena Neves]] decides to go home for the night, but her partner [[ActionGenreHeroGuy Luke Hobbs]] decides to stay behind and do a check. When he claims that he's not doing it out of paranoia, Elena tells Hobbs, "You're a terrible liar," but in an affectionate way, and she lets it slide. When Hobbs goes back inside the building, though, he finds [[EvilBrit Deckard Shaw]] hacking into his computer, and his attempt at bluffing the villain goes just as poorly:
103	-->'''Shaw:''' I'm not interested in your computer. I'm [[AvengingTheVillain looking for the team that crippled my brother]]. ''[His brother, in this case, being Owen Shaw, the BigBad of [[Film/FastAndFurious6 the previous film]]]''\
104	'''Hobbs:''' There ain't no goddamn team. It was just [[OneManArmy one man]]. And he's standing right in front of you.\
105	'''Shaw:''' ''[finishes downloading the information he needs onto his USB stick and turns his chair around to face Hobbs]'' The lady was right. [[PreAsskickingOneLiner You]] ''[[PreAsskickingOneLiner are]]'' [[PreAsskickingOneLiner a terrible liar]]. ''[kicks the desk in front of him over and starts attacking Hobbs]''
106	* GatlingGood: [[spoiler: Jakande has them on his drone during the final fight, which is appropriated by Hobbs and used against Jakande]].
107	* GroinAttack:
108	** Deckard nails Hobbs with one during their fight scene. In a more realistic take on the trope, it only stuns him for less than a couple of seconds.
109	** In a rare female-on-female example, Letty stomps on the crotch of one of the BodyguardBabes of the Jordanian prince. ''With the heel of her stilletos''. '''OUCH!'''
110	** Ramsay apparently did this to her associate when he got too touchy-feely with her.
111	** Brian delivers one to Kiet during the fight on the bus. This allows Brian to force Kiet's head onto the trigger for the bus's gattling guns and shoot one of the mercanaries' cars of the side if the mountain.
112	* HollywoodHacking: A code on a USB is capable of instantly hacking all devices anywhere on earth, including mobile phones and security cameras. It can then organise all that information and using facial recognition track a persons exact location in a matter of minutes.
113	* HollywoodHealing: After only a couple weeks in the hospital, Hobbs' broken arm is healed enough that he can rip off the cast, deliberately crash a car, and handle a minigun without rebreaking it.
114	* HomeFieldAdvantage: The team invokes this trope by stating that they should face their adversaries on the streets they know best: Los Angeles. Indeed, their intimate knowledge of LA and its streets buys the team several moments to keep the "big game of hot potato" going, pulling the switch in places they know Jakande can't see from the air.
115	* HystericalWoman: Downplayed and justified with Ramsey. She's very calm and collected while helping MissionControl to do some HollywoodHacking, but ''completely'' [[FreakOut loses her shit]] whenever her life is in danger. It's perfectly understandable; after all, she's just a hacker, not a street-racer-turned-hired-gun like our heroes. [[CharacterDevelopment Over the course of the film, she learns to keep a cooler head during intense situations,]] [[DownplayedTrope but is still easily the most emotional member of the group]].
116	* IdiotBall: Mr. Nobody picks it up when he takes only 12 men to [[spoiler:help Dom and Brian take down Deckard]], not realizing that [[spoiler:Jakande might go back at Dom and his crew for rescuing Ramsey]].
117	* IAmTheNoun: Hobbs uses this trope towards the end of the film after saving Letty and Ramsey from a drone.
118	* ImprobableAimingSkills: Hobbs has always been shown to be a pretty accurate shot, but this is taken to ridiculous levels when Hobbs is able to [[spoiler:finish Jakande's helicopter off by shooting the black bag of grenades that is hanging off the helicopter... which is in the air... at night]].
119	* IronicEcho: Dom to Deckard Shaw at the climax.
120	-->"You thought this was gonna be a street fight?...You're '''goddamn right''' it is."
121	* LockAndLoadMontage: Dom, Brian, and Shaw go through one before the FinalBattle .
122	* LossOfIdentity: Discussed in a scene where Letty tries to part ways with Dom before the next job pulls them together again. Although she likes him, they share a history that she doesn't remember, and it's hard for her to be around him when he does remember that history.
123	* MacGuffin: Subverted with the God's Eye. It sounds a lot like a usual [=MacGuffin=] -- a device that can hack into anything and trace anyone anywhere -- but once it's recovered, it's used almost immediately to find Deckard. It's used again during the climax [[spoiler:by Jakande to track down Ramsey and keep her from locking him out of it]]. God's Eye continues to be a ChekhovsBoomerang throughout the series afterwards.
124	* MadeOfIron: Taken to ridiculous heights, where characters survived crashes like ''high speed head-on collision'', [[spoiler: twice!]], or falling off a freaking cliff. The latter is somewhat justified as the car was heavily modified to handle crashes like this.
125	* MassOhCrap: The reaction of just about everyone at the prince's party in Abu Dhabi when Deckard Shaw enters the room.
126	* MommyMobile: Brian, now retired, drives a Chrysler minivan and isn't fully adjusted to life as a family man. His introductory scene in the film has him dramatically revving a car's engine and shifting it into gear... only to then cut to reveal that he's actually in the van in front of his son's school, clearly nostalgic for his past adventures.
127	* MoreDakka: While there’s no shortage of firepower in the franchise, Mose Jakande is the biggest believer in this trope. This is the man who armed a bus with a half-dozen machine guns and brought [[spoiler:a combat drone with enough firepower to level half a city]] to the movie’s final fight.
128	* MundaneMadeAwesome: The first scene where we see Brian: his car's engine burning with fury with himself looking dead serious, apparently competing for yet another race, and he steps on the gas...to drop Jack off at school.
129	* MySecretPregnancy: [[spoiler: [[CallBack Mia again]]. She's pregnant with her second child but hasn't had the time to tell Brian. A brilliant time comes up when Brian is about to say a final goodbye in advance; she shoots this down by saying that he'll ''have'' to come back, otherwise his second child would never be able to meet its father. She succeeds.]]
130	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Tej's sudden and miraculous fighting abilities.
131	* NoodleIncident: The movie opens with Deckard Shaw apparently having rampaged through a hospital just to see his comatose brother. Not only does he appear to have fought off several [=SCO19=] teams without a scratch, but he somehow broke the awning outside.
132	* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: When Dom and Ramsey are cornered by Jakande and his mooks, Dom then [[spoiler: drives the car off the mountain and rolls all the way down the cliff]], still they both survive with few scratches.
133	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome[=/=]OneManArmy: Deckard Shaw is first introduced ''after'' he's mowed through an entire platoon of policemen to visit his brother, who is in intensive care. The audience only sees the aftermath of this - there are several officers dead in an elevator, the lobby looks like it's been hit with a bomb blast, and he's done so much damage to the exterior of the hospital that the overhang at the front of the building collapses after he walks out.
134	* OhCrap:
135	** Happens again to Tej, this time he drops the S-bomb when the trucks the protagonists are pursuing [[MoreDakka start deploying heavy machine guns]].
136	** Kiet when he notices he's about to be [[DisneyVillainDeath pulled down an elevator shaft]]
137	** This is pretty much Ramsey's expression during the mountain rescue sequence
138	** Tej when he first sees Jakande's helicopter
139	** Jakande himself has one when he sees Shaw's grenades are hooked onto his helicopter
140	** Letty has this reaction after she leaves the princes bedroom and comes face to face with Kara and the other bodyguards
141	* OminousLatinChanting: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jKBNRR_NZM Battle of the Titans]].
142	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: {{Averted}} completely with Roman. He doesn't even ask.
143	* OutOfFocus: Hobbs spends most of it hospitalized due to the injuries he receives from his first encounter with Deckard. [[spoiler: He does come back in time for the final confrontation though, and is even the one who fires off the final shot against Jakande.]]
144	* PersonalEffectsReveal: The only personal belonging found in Han's car was [[spoiler:a photograph of Gisele.]]
145	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Kiet has no problem handling Brian during their fights, even though he is ''8 inches'' shorter than him.
146	* PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:Letty begs Dom to wake up after he crashes his car through Jakande's helicopter]] during the climax. [[spoiler: Subverted a few moments later when it's revealed that he was just sleeping, and waits until she tells him she remembers everything for him to finally speak.]]
147	* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler: Dom]]'s not breathing. Brian gives CPR. [[spoiler: Letty makes him stop because telling him she regained her memory is more effective at kickstarting his heart.]]
148	* ThePreciousPreciousCar: {{Implied\|Trope}}. A Jordanian prince owns a Lykan Hypersport (one of only seven in the world) and keeps it in a vault in his penthouse. When Dom and Brian recover the God's Eye from the vault, they're both a bit incensed on how the car isn't being properly used as a car. [[spoiler:When Deckard attacks them, they escape by jumping the car between two more skyscrapers, which would've damaged it enough even if it hadn't slid out the last one and fallen dozens of stories to the ground.]]
149	* ProductPlacement:
150	** The second sequence in the film is Dom taking Letty to Race Wars, which has apparently gained some very impressive corporate sponsorship.
151	** When Dom tells Mr. Nobody that he drinks Corona instead of Belgian ale, the latter produces a Corona-branded bucket from behind a box, complete with two chilled bottles. They then spend the next few moments walking and talking while chugging them down.
152	** Shortly after the Corona moment above, Nobody shows off his impressive Dell computer setup.
153	* TheQuietOne: Deckard Shaw is much more tight-lipped than his brother, with a total of seventeen lines in the entire film. Most of them are one-liners, and occur in the first half of the movie. He has a couple lines of dialogue when he first meets Hobbs and Dom separately. He then has a one-word line when he ambushes the group during their rescue of Ramsey ("Interesting"). He does not say a word when he confronts the group in Abu Dhabi, and remains silent during his climactic battle with Dom on the parking structure. His most talkative scene in the entire movie, is when the team attempts to capture him in the warehouse.
154	* RadarIsUseless: During the climax, Mose Jakande is able to show up in downtown Los Angeles with both a helicopter gunship and a drone. Somehow, he was able to enter U.S. airspace with two heavily armed aircraft ''and'' engage the heroes in a protracted battle across much of a major American city (and causing millions of dollars in property damage in the process), without drawing the attention of the U.S. military.
155	* RedHerring: There's a moment when Dom's crew prepares to exchange the [[spoiler: God's Eye]] with Mr. Nobody and it appears that he'll pull a YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness on the crew. [[spoiler: He doesn't, and instead fulfills his end of the bargain by giving full support of his team to Dom's crew and Ramsey to track down Deckard, remaining as one of the good guys.]]
156	* RedShirt: [[spoiler:The soldier Sheppard.]]
157	* {{Retcon}}: At the end of ''Tokyo Drift'', Twinkie tells Sean that [[spoiler: Dom had gained quite a reputation for winning races around Asia]]. When this same footage is shown in ''Furious 7'', that line is cut as it would've no longer made sense since [[spoiler:we've already seen what Dom was busy with from movies ''4'' to ''6''. [[PutOnABus Unless it was during the entirety of ''2'']]...]]
158	* RetiredBadass: [[spoiler:Brian leaves the life behind for good this time at the end of ''7'']].
159	* RidingIntoTheSunset: [[spoiler:Brian O'Conner, after his last ride with Dom]] at the end.
160	* RunawayHideaway: Brian and his family stay at the house belonging to his friend, Mando (played by Creator/RomeoSantos). After Brian leaves, he has Mia and Jack remain under Mando's care.
161	* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler: Dom and crew have to rescue Ramsey, an imprisoned hacker who's being transported to a terrorist group for a highly effective tracking device (which the heroes need to track Shaw). When Brian reaches Ramsey inside the armored bus, he's surprised to find out [[{{Hackette}}the hacker is female ]]. The trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded afterward in several ways]], which includes bits of {{Fanservice}}.]]
162	* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Deckard survived his fight with Dom but got arrested and brought to a high security underground prison by Hobbs. He declared to Hobbs that no prison can hold him.]]
163	* SeriesFauxnale: ''Furious 7'' is built up to be the finale of the series, even going as far as giving a fitting sendoff to Creator/PaulWalker, who died in a car accident prior to the movie's release. An eighth movie was released in 2017, with Vin Diesel signed up for two more.
164	* SherlockScan: Ramsey's a hackette, so this is a given. She's willing to trust Dom's crews despite having just met them in a less-than-pleasant rescue because she has already deduced that Dom's crew follows him out of loyalty, not fear. On top of that, she instantly deduces the role each member plays and that they're working for the US government. [[spoiler:She even accurately guesses that Dom and Letty are married, which is doubly impressive because Letty herself wasn't even aware of that at the time.]]
165	* ShoutOut: The Abu Dhabi sequence is very reminiscient of ''Black Moon Rising'', plot of which had a MacGuffin hidden inside a super car that ends up driven indoors and jumping from a skyscraper to another.
166	* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Mose Jakande doesn't show up at all in the trailers and promotional materials, which focus on the good guys, Deckard and some of the most colorful mooks.
167	* SunglassesAtNight: Mr. Nobody is fond of wearing sunglasses, even inexplicably putting them on during the nighttime operation against Shaw that goes bad. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed that said shades have night-vision, and he proceeds to mow down a half-dozen of Jakande's mooks before being injured]].
168	* SuperStrength: Dom is strong enough to lift up the front end of a car using only his brute strength. WordOfGod reveals a lot of this was Creator/VinDiesel's own strength in holding it up, though he was given some aid in the actual lifting.
169	* TeeteringOnTheEdge: During the transport attack in the Caucasus Mountains, Brian gets into a fight on the villain's bus vehicle. The driver is [[DeadfootLeadFoot killed in the scuffle]] causing the bus to careen on it's side and right for a cliff. Brian's opponent manages to trap him in the vehicle and jump out. Brian manages to free himself, get out a window hovering over the cliff side, climb up and run along the bus before it teeters over. Heck he ''almost'' doesn't clear the jump and only saved when Letty arrives, skids her car around for Brian to grab onto the back end and sling him back to safe ground.
170	* TestosteronePoisoning: Hobbs removes a cast on his arm by ''flexing''.
171	* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: This is suggested when Dom puts a picture of Gisele on Han's grave.]]
172	* TookALevelInBadass:
173	** Tej goes into full badass mode. When the team is on the rescue mission in Caucasus Mountains, he lines up the rest of the team behind his heavily-armored Jeep Wrangler and protect them by soaking up the machine gun rounds from two of mook's jeeps before he gets close and knock them both off the road.
174	** Also during the mission in Abu Dhabi, Tej and Ramsey are discovered by a security guard who prepares to attack them. Tej utilizes his ObfuscatingStupidity skill to get close to him, before ''completely destroying him'' using martial arts, surprising Ramsey.
175	* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:Han kept a photo of Gisele with him in his car in Tokyo.]]
176	* TrailersAlwaysLie: The trailer implies that Kara and Kiet are part of Deckard Shaw’s team. [[spoiler: Kara is really the bodyguard of a Jordanian prince whose car the team needs to steal and Kiet works for Mose Jakande, the movie’s ''other'' BigBad who doesn’t even appear in the trailers.]]
177	* TruthInTelevision:
178	** Real parachutes with GPS were used for the car drop from a plane. The production team also consulted the US Army about steerable, GPS-guided parachutes.
179	** For all the countless instances of ArtisticLicensePhysics in this series, Brian running up the side of the bus as it slides off a cliff is 100% plausible.
180	* UnderTheTruck: This stunt comes back when Brian tries to evade an attack drone.
181	* VillainRespect: Shaw starts to develop this for Dom. After having his words about pragmatism thrown back at him at gunpoint, followed by an active display of mercy by being given a fighting chance, he evens the field on his end and knocks a piece of shrapnel off his makeshift club to match Dom's blunt wrenches.
182	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Frank Petty's fate is unknown.]]
183	* WhereItAllBegan: The film climaxes with our heroes racing cars in the streets of LA. [[spoiler:Or at least, that was the plan. Then they realize the bad guys are using a helicopter gunship and a drone.]]
184	* TheWorfEffect:
185	** Letty beats up a prince's three elite female guards handily, to underscore the threat when the [[MookLieutenant head of his detail]] is actually able to give her a challenge.
186	** Deckard Shaw's first onscreen action sequence is him going toe to toe with Hobbs, who's himself one of the most dangerous characters in the franchise. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPcopMBEDfY Jason outright said it]].
187	** The LAPD police cars, which were the most dreaded foes in the first two movies, join the fray during the final battle, but get utterly curbstomped by the drone. Tej even outright states "Them boys ain't ready for this."
188	* WorstAid: Albeit everyone's MadeOfIron so it doesn't seem to matter, but [[spoiler:an unconscious Dom being pulled out of his car and Letty proceeding to move his head around]] is a very noticeable example, especially right after Brian giving very careful instructions as to how to handle him in that condition.
189	* WrenchWhack: The climax includes a DualWielding duel between Dom and Shaw, with Dom wielding a pair of wrenches.
190	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Hobbs performs [[FinishingMove the Rock Bottom]] on Deckard Shaw THROUGH A GLASS TABLE!
