Summary

  • The first few Fast & Furious movies establish key character dynamics with funny moments.
  • The Fast Saga's over-the-top action scenes lead to humorous reactions from the cast.
  • The franchise balances humor with implausible action, creating enjoyable entertainment.

As the stunts get more ridiculous and the supporting cast expands, the Fast & Furious franchise gets more funny scenes from the impossibility of the action and a wider variety of character dynamics. However, some of the Fast Saga's funniest scenes are from the first few movies, when relationships that will be important throughout the franchise are established. Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) have a friendly but competitive relationship from the beginning that creates many funny moments.

Likewise, Brian's friendship with Roman (Tyrese Gibson) has a comedic streak, as well as Roman's interactions with Tej (Ludacris) in the later movies. On the other hand, some of the car stunts and exchanges during the action sequences are so ridiculous that there is no option left but to laugh out loud. What the Fast Saga lacks in realism it makes up for in enjoyable entertainment, and the characters' amusing reactions to the dangerous situations they find themselves in are a huge part of this.

10 Roman & Han Loose The Subway Fight

Fast & Furious 6

While they are chasing after Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman and Han (Sung Kang) get into a fight with Jah (Joe Taslim), another member of Owen Shaw's (Luke Evans) team, who overpowers them both. It seems like just another hand-to-hand combat scene characteristic of the franchise. However, midway through the fight, it is clear that Roman and Han are both getting tired.

In an easy-to-miss moment, they are both lightly pushing each other forward to take another shot at the guy. When their opponent finally runs off, Roman tells Han: "No one needs to know about this. No one." Han breathlessly nods. It is not the cleverest or most outrageous bit of humor in the franchise, but it is a good way to break up the monotony of action scenes that are all very similar. This is especially true when most of Dom's family seem to be experts who never lose a fistfight.

9 Hobbs & Shaw Trash Talk

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Johnson and Statham's acting is what makes the comments in this scene work, as they are both completely deadpan, no matter how immature they sound.

The entire premise of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is based around Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham) being forced to work together, resulting in more than two hours of insulting banter. It becomes stale after a while, which is why one of their best scenes is when they are initially paired up. Hobbs and Shaw have some moments of mocking each other in The Fate of the Furious, but in the first "trash-talking" scene of their spinoff, they indulge in a barrage of completely over-the-top insults.

Johnson and Statham's acting is what makes the comments in this scene work, as they are both completely deadpan, no matter how immature they sound. Their dynamic is also likely why the Fast & Furious producers realized a spinoff about these two characters would work in the first place. Even though most of their conversations are completely juvenile, Hobbs and Shaw's relationship creates many funny, fan-favorite moments.
