F9: The Quick Saga delivers the same absurd and hilariously unlikely action the franchise has become famous for in recent years, creating a number of plot holes and continuity errors along the way. Nitpicking a Fast and Furious The consistency and credibility of the film may seem silly, but the series has done a decent job over the years of justifying its various wild quips within its own unrealistic rules. But still, there are some things in F9 They simply break the established continuity of the series.
It’s no secret that Fast and Furious is far from realistic, and to be fair, most things that happen in F9 they could be classified as gaps in the plot if viewed through a strictly logical lens. How does Dom manage to collapse a concrete bunker on his head, fall into a pool of water far below him, and still survive? How does the crew manage to overcome landmine explosions when that is physically impossible? How do Roman and Tej manage to find the International Space Station in the vast expanse of Earth’s orbit? The simple answer is that these are not plot holes. They are perfectly sensible occurrences in the world of Fast and Furious – a comic book world where people survive impossible things and wield superhuman abilities.
What is less excusable in F9 they are the real holes in the plot, the errors of continuity that collide with what has already been established as true in the universe of the Fast franchise. There are several of them throughout the movie, some of which can be partially explained with enough effort, and some of which just don’t make sense.
Why did Dom never mention Jakob?
The biggest apparent hole in the plot F9 is the introduction of Jakob Toretto (John Cena), Dom and Mia’s estranged brother. Jakob was never mentioned once in the franchise prior to the first trailer for F9 released, and due to Dom’s intense family values, many fans took Jakob’s mere existence as a big plot hole. However, it is something explainable through the film’s own logic. Since Dom values family so much, removing his brother from his life would require a severe level of erasure. In other words, rejecting Jakob is at odds with Dom’s own morals, so he has to act like Jakob is dead, or never existed, to live with his decision. That makes Jakob’s previous invisibility a bit more believable, but it’s still a significant continuity error.
Where is Dom, Mia and Jakob’s mother?
F9 It shows much of Dom, Mia, and Jakob’s youth through flashback scenes, but those scenes never involve, or even mention, their mother. In fact, Dom’s mother has never been mentioned once in the entire franchise. This is a huge plot hole as it significantly affects Mia and Jakob’s lives after Dom goes to jail. If they still had a parent at home during that time, things would be very different than if they were left to fend for themselves. And although everything about Jack Toretto’s story suggests that he is a single father at the time of his death, this is never confirmed. If Dom and Mia’s mom is dead, why don’t they talk about her the way they talk about Jack? There are a lot of things that don’t make sense, and they won’t be fixed until Dom, Mia, and Jakob’s mother is finally recognized.
How did Mr. Nobody capture Cipher?
Cipher (Charlize Theron) escapes capture at the end of The fate of the furious jumping out of his spy plane, but F9 It begins when Jakob rescues her from Mr. Nobody’s incarceration. The movie claims that Cipher was simply stopped sometime between the two movies, but the fact that her capture is never shown or explained seems a bit like a plot hole. On Destination, Cipher is treated as the ultimate villain, whose technological abilities and advanced weapons make her nearly impossible to find, let alone catch. It’s true that Mr. Nobody has access to similarly advanced technology, but it still seems a bit of a stretch that he could arrest her between movies without any fanfare.
Where’s Neela from Tokyo Drift?
Most of the cast of Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift triumphantly returns in F9, with one notable exception. Neela, who played a major role in the third Fast movie, is nowhere to be seen, and her former friends don’t even mention it. There is a significant amount of time between Tokyo drift Y F9 in the official Fast and Furious timeline, so it’s possible that she and the rest of the gang were just lost. However, it still seems odd that he didn’t get even a line referencing his whereabouts, given everything that happened with Sean, Twinkie, Earl, and Han in Tokyo drift.
How could Dom not know about his father’s debts?
On F9’s Flashback scenes, it is revealed that Dom kicked Jakob out of the Toretto family because he blamed him for his father’s death. While in prison, he recalls seeing Jakob do something suspicious under Jack’s hood on the day of the accident, and in his pain and rage he chooses to believe that Jakob killed his father of his own choosing. The truth is that Jack Toretto was deeply in debt, and that he made Jakob sabotage his car on purpose to try and start the race. He didn’t tell Dom at the time because he felt embarrassed, and made Jakob promise that he would never reveal the secret.
The problem here is that, as the de facto head of the Toretto family after being released from prison, it seems highly unlikely that Dom would not have eventually found out about his father’s debts. It’s possible that Jack’s arrangements to launch the career ended up easing the financial burden on his family enough that it wasn’t an immediate problem when Dom got out of jail, even though he died. It’s also possible that Jakob managed to fix things in the meantime. But wouldn’t Mia have known something was up? And wouldn’t Dom have found out once he had control of the family’s financial history? It’s all technically feasible that he somehow never learned the truth, but that seems over the top.
Why didn’t Mr. Nobody ever tell Dom about Han?
On Fast and Furious 9, It is revealed that Mr. Nobody faked Han’s death, retconning Tokyo drift Y Furious 7 through an incredibly complicated subplot involving super weapons, holograms, and secret foster daughters. But somehow, within the strange logic of the franchise, it all makes sense. What makes less sense is why, in the years since Han supposedly died, did Mr. Nobody tell Dom? Obviously, I wouldn’t want to say anything in Furious 7 because Han would still have been very vulnerable, and also because the belief that Deckard Shaw had killed Han helped convince Dom and the team to work for Mr. Nobody in the first place. But what about the following years? Surely a confidential acknowledgment that Han was still alive would have been safe, as long as his location was not revealed. Instead, however, Mr. Nobody lets Dom and everyone else continue to believe that Han is dead.
Why doesn’t Hobbs help Dom in F9?
The greatest absence in F9 is Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs, who has been a major player in the franchise since Fast five. The highly publicized off-screen reason for your exclusion from F9 is that Johnson and Vin Diesel have a long-standing feud and refuse to work with each other. But in the world of the movie F9 does not give a real explanation for Hobb’s absence. There is a throwaway line from Tej about how Mr. Nobody told them not to trust anyone else, but Hobbs is basically part of the family at this point in the story. His resources would surely have been helpful, and F9 he’s not even trying to find a decent reason why he wouldn’t join in on the action.
Where’s Brian?
Closing this list is a plot hole that isn’t really a plot hole, but it’s still worth mentioning. Due to the tragic death of Paul Walker prior to the completion of Furious 7, Brian O’Conner has effectively been removed from the Fast and Furious franchise. It is the correct decision, since rephrasing the character would be disrespectful and F9 He does a good job of integrating Brian into the background of the story. However, his absence inevitably feels a bit strange, as it did in The fate of the furious. Brian is a Toretto after marrying Mia, and while saying that he is babysitting for F9 it’s a good way to keep him out of the picture, it’s strange that he didn’t go out of his way to be by Dom’s side during his battle with Jakob. Again, F9 he does the best he can with Brian, and pays tribute to Walker in a poignant way. But it is also a fact that F9, and the franchise in general, can’t help but feel a bit empty without Brian.
