Yeah, he was there at the end sitting beside The Rock. He had his head down as if he was trying to HIDE from the audience.
Hehehe. Roman turning into John Wick had me freaking giddy.

Is Lil' Nobody going to be a recurring character you think? I think he endeared himself by the end of the movie.
And yeah I don't remember seeing Deckard at the table. I honestly don't mind that he was kind of a sillier character this time. Also loved the 'Did you think this would be a street fight' callback when Dom 'kills' him.

Ya I think Lil' Nobody is in
I loved the running gag of him being too eager and constantly fucking up

Is it ok to post a (pretty crappy) youtube video of the ending? Because I got the RECEIPTS that Shaw was there.

Damn, this movie was so fun. Jason Statham KILLED it in this film with his two main fight scenes (the prison riot and the plane siege). And I got absolutely giddy when Deckard and Owen Shaw reappeared in the final act. I really hope these two guys join the crew.
And damn at the reveal of Dom's son's name. Wasn't expecting that at all.

Mr. Nobody needs a beard for F9, because Kurt Russel looked positively majestic in that Guardians 2 trailer.

The check didn't clear
The non existent check. They never paid to be in movies. Apparently, Bud did.

Don't ruin my goddamn headcanon
Hobbs had semi-bare arms, and Letty's shirt had a plunging neckline, even.
After Dom and Letty's conversation about having children, the second we saw that Elena had given birth to Dom's child I knew she was a goner, thus enabling the series' lead couple to acquire a child without a pregnancy. Though think about what we missed -- they could have had Letty give birth mid-car case, while driving!
The whole sequence of Deckard with baby Brian is especially funny when you remember that Jason Statham is about to become a father himself.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
That ending shot was so horribly composed lol
Future spoiler- baby Brian played by Han in the next one.
Liked seeing Omar and tego in their five second cameo. And they had a ton ofe charisma in that little bit.

What's the runtime of this movie? Is it really 2 hrs and 40 minutes?
2 hours 16 minutes.
After all the commercials in most theatres, just about.

I started cracking up when Hobbs lifted Nobody Jr. horizontally off the ground outside of the prison.
Or when he shrugged off​ those rubber bullets like nothing. Damn, this movie was so fun, haha.

I enjoyed Punished Dom in this one. Probably showed the most believable emotions for his character aside from the first one. But yeah, I'm in the same boat regarding Deckard. While he was awesome in this one... HE KILLED HAN! 
And the did Elena wrong, man. No family for her.

Expected the same.
Vin must have had some secret side deal. How did nobody pay for this?

Never would've expected a movie series about cars to have such good fight choreography. The prison fight was just unadulterated fun. These Fast and Furious movies are keeping comic book franchises on their toes. And that "zombie" car sequence. So good.
Nope.

Funny how the best action in a Fast and Furious were the fight scenes. Rock going Hulk on guys in the prison, tanking rubber bullets, and Statham's big brawls were awesome stuff
All the car set pieces besides the opening race fell flat IMO. They all lacked that special something that made the chases and car battles in 5, 6, and 7 so thrilling IMO. I don't know, they had all the right elements but nothing felt as exciting as the safe, the tank chase, or rescuing Ramsey.
Zombie cars was a big nothing, a cool concept but felt wasted as an action scene. Sub chase had some good moments, but the team on the defensive against such an overwhelming enemy and on such a flat area meant they couldn't really pull off good back-and-forth or other evasive maneuvers that benefited from city streets, cliff roads, and so on

Best movie in the series for me. Except Scott Eastwood. Booo. Really miss Brian.
I thought for sure baby Dom would be named Paul

So how many security guards did the Rock kill in this? He was reaching Snyder Batman levels of maiming towards the end of the prison escape.

They had body armor, they were fine (Movie logic)
He was straight up throwing guys as literal manmade weapons. I'd say he killed at least forty people, including the guy he stabbed.
Oh wow, that's who that lame assshole was? Really had no idea what the goal with him was. Shitty personality and development, really hope he's not part of the fam.

The Rock Vin feud was most apparent in the ice climax where Rock doesnt say anything before the fade out

I'm pretty sure he's going in Brian's slot. Even his car choices felt like that. Mr. Nobody will chill in the command center, Lil Nobody will be out in the field.
Most pressing question following the film
-What Game of Thrones side character makes it into Fast 9?
Like the movie a lot. The Tyrese scene was one of my favorite parts lol
Jail break and Stathom with the baby were other highlights.
Thought it was hilarious they did all the zombie car stuff just to "immobilize" it.
I'd say the weak link of the film was Vin. I also would have liked a conversation of any sorts between him and Hobbs after he becomes good again.
Can't wait for Cipher to join the squad next film.
Also good to know you get a spot at the table if your family kill/save ratio is at least at 1

The most funny thing were two Jokes the chinese crowd in the cinema didnt get. While I was cracking up, crowd stayed calm. lol
The first one was when they tyrese said the women from game of thrones is not a 10, while ludacris was looking all thisty, saying "she definitely is" lol
The second one was the shrinkage joke

Just out, goddamn the last set piece is long.
Better than 7 for sure but the action in 5 and 6 is still the best. Felt like that was the last time anyone was in danger and the team actually had a competent enemy instead of a jobbing army. At least this one had some kind of emotional hook to it also instead of being hollow junk like F7.
Movie did a admirable job of keeping things up despite Paul's absence. The returning additions to the family and Nobody jr/the Shaw brothers dynamic was kinda neat but I'm in disbelief that those two guys would just be cool with the group after leading to Han/Giselle's death, using Letty, kidnapping Mia, etc. Felt like the movie was twisting itself trying to justify it with stuff like, "Cipher corrupted Owen", "I didn't take that guy's car because I wanted his respect.". The only way I'm accepting this junk is if they bring Han and Giselle back. Resurrect them and we cool tho, they are pretty charismatic here.
Oh and killing off Elena was so weak lmao. You know she was dead the moment the baby was revealed. She hasn't had anything to do since Fast 5 so it's whatever but geez, looks like the only way to get out of the modern era F&F family is to die.
Well now that they team is actually kinda bloated again (maybe the Rock is sitting the next one out?) since they are floating so many damn people just to fill Paul's vacuum, I really hope the team faces more than just a bunch of lame Cipher goons to let them get Avengers moments. One of my favorite parts of this series is in 6 when Han and Roman get the shit kicked out of them by the guy from the Raid. The series needs more moments like that.

Am I remembering it right, or was their only interaction in the movie looking across at each other in their vehicles before Dom takes him out?
They definitely didn't interact on the rooftop scene.
