Awesome / The Fate of the Furious

• Dom reminds us why he is the most badass street-racer in cinema history by winning a race against a Sports-Car driving Cuban crime boss in a 1950's rust bucket. Not just any rust-bucket, mind you, but a 1950's rust-bucket stripped down essentially to the bare minimum of its engine-axel-wheels-windscreen-and-chassis, with said engine on fire from his jury-rigged nitrogen boost, with no brakes and driving backwards. Not to mention Dom diving off its burning wreckage as it flew past the finish-line into the sea at the last second, without a scratch on him afterwards.
  • To top it off, instead of taking said Cuban crime boss's prized sports-car as his agreed trophy, Dom warmly tells hims that having his respect was good enough for him, soundly earning his friendship as well.
  • Said Cuban boss is later seen helping Dom out in New York as part of The Plan to get Dom some time to make a deal with the Shaw brothers' mother to help him out by blocking Cipher's field of view from an ATM's camera with a truck, ultimately leading to them ruining Cipher's plan.
• When Eric AKA Little Nobody started using Hobbs daughter as a threat, the DSS agent effortlessly snaps his handcuffs in half, lifts the guy up, then slams him into the wall. It took Mr. Nobody calming Hobbs down for him to release Eric. Doubles as a Funny Moment.
• Hobbs and Deckard's escape from the prison during a riot, with both of them going into full on The Juggernaut mode while jumping down from one floor to the next - Deckard utilizing Le Parkour and Combat Pragmatist skills to the fullest, while Hobbs casually brushes off rubber bullets fired by the guards and throws people around like they're made of paper.
  • One inmate has it particularly out for Hobbs and the moment he gets a chance to confront him during the breakout he attempts to shank him. Hobbs effortlessly deflects the knife into the inmate's chest.
    Inmate: HOBBS!! I've been waiting a long time for this! (attempts to stab Hobbs with a knife)
    Hobbs: (catches the inmate's wrist and redirects the knife into his left chest) Keep waiting, bitch!
  • Hobbs rushes to the FREAKING BLOCKADE OF OFFICERS WITH POLICE SHIELDS and still passes through.
• Cipher commands hundreds of remote-controlled cars to crash the streets of New York, flying out of parking garages and clogging the streets to smash up the Russian ambassador's limo.
• Throughout the movie, Eric (aka Little Nobody) has been annoying the team with his by the book attitude and ignoring Nobody's "rules." When he realizes the team is ready to basically invade Russia to get at Cipher, he thinks it over before turning to his boss.
  Eric: I think I just figured out Rule #3.
  Nobody: Which is?
  Eric: (grabs a crowbar and smashes open the case to the keys for all the souped-up cars in the Toy Shop) There are no rules.
  Nobody: I knew you'd get there.
• Ramsey get a small moment to shine when she engages in a brief hacker battle with Cipher over control of the nuclear submarine. Even though Cipher eventually manages to lock her out, Ramsey was still able to temporarily hold her own against someone she acknowledged as a cyber goddess, and for a moment Cipher even admits that Ramsey's counter-hacking skills were "pissing [her] off."
• Roman Pearce reminds us why, despite his status as the team's resident Butt-Monkey, he still has the shooting skills to back up his position on the crew, by effortlessly taking out the drivers of multiple snowmobiles driving right at him.
  Roman: Number eleven, my ass!
  • The build-up is both pretty hilarious and awesome as well. Roman's Lamborghini sinks through the damaged ice, forcing Ten to pull him out via ripping off one of the door via a harpoon cable with Roman holding onto it but then the cable. At seeing the several mercenaries closing in on him on snowmobiles, Roman first goes Oh, Crap!, then goes through That Makes Me Feel Angry, then Rage Breaking Point, at which he pulls off a Shield Bash on the incoming mercenary with the car door before taking up his gun and blowing away the rest in Tranquil Fury.
• Deckard and Owen's assault on Cipher's stealth plane to rescue Dom's son. Special mention goes to Deckard for singlehandedly mowing down most of Cipher's mercenaries on his own while also playfully chatting with Dom's son.
• After Dom destroys the submarine with a heat-seeking missile, the explosion nearly gets him too until his crew shields him with their cars.
• Dom's first act right before he returns to his family's aid is to kill Rhodes, the murderer of Elena.
  • What make this even sweeter? This was right before Rhodes was about to snipe Letty. Once he got the all clear from Deckard that his son was safe and thus there was no longer any leverage on him, that Death Glare he gives Rhodes tells the audience things are about to go south for the villains very quickly. His first act is to move his car, throwing off Rhodes' shot before getting out of the car and kicking Rhodes ass with little trouble. When Cipher tries to radio Rhodes, Dom lets her know how much she screwed up.
    Cipher: Congratulations Dom, you just killed your son.
    Dom: Wrong, I just saved him and you just took your foot off the tiger's neck.
  • Also, just before unleashing a brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on Rhodes, culminating in killing him with a punch to snap his neck, Dom gives him one hell of an Ironic Echo, mixed with a Pre-Mortem One-Liner dripping with Tranquil Fury about a comment Rhodes made early about looking someone dead in the eye before killing them. Rhodes has just enough time to realise he's screwed before Dom sends him to Hell.
    Rhodes: You made me miss my shot. What do you think you're doing?!
    Dom: Looking at you dead in the eye.
• Adding to the above is Cipher's defeat; Dom shuts down her smug gloating by pointing out how he's killed so many of her minions and completely wrecked her plans, causing her to snap and start screaming at her underlings to fire a heat-seeking missile at Dom and the others...which Dom ultimately redirects back at her stolen nuclear sub. Her look of utter disbelief just before the missile hits is a beautiful picture.
  Cipher: [smugly] You lose, Dom.
  Dom: I destroyed two of your teams. I killed your red-headed boyfriend and I put two killers on your untraceable plane. You lost the minute you interrupted my honeymoon. [Cipher's smug grin becomes a snarl] Now guess who I'm coming for.
  Cipher: Put a heatseeker on him. NOW!!
  • Another thing to be thought about is that Dom's claims are true, Dom's plan worked perfectly, with the only time the plan diverged was Elena's death. Other than that, it went smoothly.
