The Fast and Furious film series has been around since 2001's The Fast and the Furious. All told, there are now 12 films in the franchise.
With so many movies it can be hard to keep up.
While the first movie was relatively basic with tricked out street racers and a whole lot of action, as the sequels kept getting released the action became more and more intense including even going to space.
With Fast X dropping in theaters, people took to social media—as in Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, Truth Social (OK, we made that one up)—to debate which Fast and Furious moment completely abandoned reality.
Internet sleuths feel the viral moment started here with comedian KevOnStage:
\u201cWhat was the moment Fast and the Furious abandoned reality? I was trying to think of the exact point.\u201d— Kev\u00edn (@Kev\u00edn) 1683997873
They later answered their own question in video form.
\u201cI\u2019ve collected some of the most ridiculous Fast & Furious moments.\u201d— Kev\u00edn (@Kev\u00edn) 1684040369
Others thought a vehicle being carried by a helicopter was a good stunt.
\u201c@SamuelOtigba How does a car accelerate in the air? \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\u201d— Sam Otigba (@Sam Otigba) 1684060700
Some thought this strange scene with Dom using the force was it.

Or this scene:

\u201c@everymovieplug Who needs gravity, when you've got family!\u201d— Every Movie Plug \ud83c\udfac \ud83d\udd0c (@Every Movie Plug \ud83c\udfac \ud83d\udd0c) 1684065562
How about this scene:
\u201cYou can\u2019t make this shit up crashlanding through skyscrapers is laughable. Not even practical.\u201d— Just Huge (@Just Huge) 1684036680
Or this insane scene:
\u201cPlease make it make sense. \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\u201d— \ud835\ude62\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude6f\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude67 (@\ud835\ude62\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude6f\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude67) 1684059920
\u201c@mizar So accurate. This was the beginning of the end , where it wasn't a movie about cars anymore but a superhero film \ud83d\ude02\u201d— \ud835\ude62\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude6f\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude67 (@\ud835\ude62\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude6f\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude67) 1684059920
Or this:
\u201cGravity and Common Sense including Logic literally left the chat within this scene\ud83d\ude02\u201d— Akira (@Akira) 1684040469
\u201c@garg0yl And get up like nothing..not even captain america get up that fast after falling the building \ud83d\ude02\u201d— Akira (@Akira) 1684040469
But someone pointed out reality—or at least gravity, the time space continuum and other minor details—never were part of the Fast and Furious series.
\u201cLiterally from jump. People seem to think this franchise suddenly turned into something that it always was. The opening scene of the first movie involves Brian\u2019s car spitting bolts and rubber washers while a laptop blinks \u201cdanger to manifold\u201d and he bends time around him.\u201d— ZK Leverton (@ZK Leverton) 1684035704
While it may bend the laws of physics for the sake of the story—while not being a fantasy or sci-fi film—clearly people enjoy going along for the ride.
Fast X is opening on May 19 in the United States and Canada. The film has already hit theaters in some overseas markets.
