Since Quick X’s premiere, Diesel has even teased that the plans have modified but once more, and what was as soon as alleged to be a two-parter may now turn into a trilogy. So the 2023 movies’ ending was by no means going to be totally satisfying, though simply how abrupt the precise factor performs continues to be extra jarring than it’s tantalizing:
After Uncle Jakob makes use of his Batmobile-esque car to kamikaze a fleet of enemy autos coming for Dom’s ol’ Dodge Charger, apparently killing himself within the course of, Dom finds himself surrounded on the prime of a dam by self-driving oil tankers.

Dom being Dom, nevertheless, means he after all can improvise out of a difficult state of affairs. Therefore the Charger incredulously driving down the facet of an nearly vertical dam, outrunning the primary explosion. However with the automotive seemingly crashing for good within the water under, there may be now no escape when Dante blows up the remainder of the dam, burying the Torettos underneath numerous gallons of water.
Frankly, the pair needs to be useless. Though they need to’ve died on the dam, and actually, Dom ought to’ve died many instances over the course of this film, starting when he drove his automotive head-long right into a brick wall in Rome. So ignoring physics, there may be one Hail Mary but to be revealed which we expect can save him…

After stealing scenes together with his most well-liked Belgian ales in each Livid 7 and The Destiny of the Livid, this grasp spy for “the Company” was final seen wounded however nonetheless very a lot alive within the eighth Quick film.
