Line 85:
** [[The Chick]] - Leon (he doesn't do much; he's just kind of there)
** [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]] - Brian (see below entry)
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: In the fifth film, Dom {{spoiler|attempts a [[Self -Sacrifice Scheme]] in order to ensure Brian escapes with Mia, but as he is seen alive and free in ''Tokyo Drift'' which chronologically takes place afterwards, we already know he'll be saved at the last minute}}.
* [[Gaiden Game|Gaiden Movie]]: ''Tokyo Drift''. [[Fridge Brilliance]] considering the origin of the trope name and the setting of the movie.
* [[Gatling Good]]: An SUV has a roof-mounted one in ''[[Fast Five]]''.
* [[Genre Motif/Hip Hop|Genre Motif: Hip Hop]]: The series runneth over with this, even the third movie, which is set in Japan.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The [[Big Bad]] of ''Fast Five'' is [[Desperado|Bucho]].
* [[High Heel Face Turn]]:
** {{spoiler|Gisele in the fourth movie}}.
Line 107:
* [[My Greatest Second Chance]]: When Dom fights Hobbs, he starts winning and ends up with a wrench in his hand. This is a reference to how he nearly beat a guy to death with a wrench in his backstory.
* [[Nitro Boost]]: Used in all of the films.
* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: Dom is prone to this. The first film reveals how much of a "[[Hair-Trigger Temper|model of self-control]]" he is by showing pictures of a guy Toretto nearly beat to death with a three-quarter inch torque wrench in an act of personal revenge. Dom admits this to Brian himself without prompt, and it's heavily implied [[My Greatest Failure|he harbors remorse for permanently disabling the guy]].
* [[Not So Different]] : In the fifth movie, Hobbs shows his contempt for Dom when he reminds him how he beat a guy to death with a wrench prior to the first movie. However, during the fight between Hobbs and Dom later in the movie, Hobbs reaches for a wrench and tries to hit Dom with it. Seconds later, Dom actually refrains himself from doing the same thing. See [[My Greatest Second Chance]] entry above.
* [[No Seat Belts]]: Oddly enough, the lack of seat belt use seems to have little effect on [[Rule of Cool|anyone's ability to survive catastrophic crashes]].
