Spoilers for all The Fast and the Furious movies preceding this one, including Furious 7 will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is a 2019 action film directed by David Leitch (Deadpool 2, John Wick) and written by Chris Morgan, screenwriter of every Fast & Furious film since 2006's Tokyo Drift.Hobbs & Shaw is the first spinoff of the Fast & Furious franchise, with series regulars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprising their roles as Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, respectively.After Hattie Shaw (Vanessa Kirby), an MI6 agent and younger sister of Deckard, becomes infected with a super-virus that could wipe out half the world, Hobbs and Shaw are forced to work together to save her life (and the world) from Brixton (Idris Elba), a cyber and genetically enhanced Super-Soldier-turned-international terrorist who needs the virus to fulfill his mission.The film also stars Eiza González as Madame M, an ally of Shaw's, and Eddie Marsan as Professor Andreiko, a Russian scientist who created the virus, while Helen Mirren reprises her role as Magdalene Shaw, the mother of the Shaw siblings. Roman Reigns (the real-life cousin of Johnson) also makes an appearance as one of Hobbs' brothers. The film is also notable for being Lighter and Softer than any of the main Fast and Furious films, due to it's greater focus on comedy when compared to the main Fast and Furious films (as in, the ones that focus on either Dom and/or his crew and all known associates besides Hobbs and Shaw, which are Darker and Edgier by comparison).A sequel is currently in development.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, Trailer 3.

Genre Shift
 Hobbs & Shaw / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: The Fast and the Furious started off as a relatively grounded crime drama, with each sequel it got more action-packed and over the top, but stayed relatively in that world. This film is more in the realm of comic books and classic James Bond, fighting a literal Super-Soldier with a metal spine as their primary villain.

Never Trust a Trailer: In the first trailer Hobbs slams a mook against an elevator Shaw is riding down in and mouths, "Fuck you!" at him. Shaw responds with Sarcastic Clapping. This scene is in the film, but Shaw is instead making a more vulgar gesture. The second trailer shows Brixton broadcasting his face on a large TV screen. In the actual film, this never happens.

Cardboard Prison: It's pretty well-demonstrated that if Magdalene Shaw wanted, she could escape the prison she's being held in. She's in there because she wants to be there, comparing it to retirement. The end of the movie implies she and her children are going to break her out.

Headbutting Heroes: Practically a Central Theme of the movie. Hobbs and Shaw just can't stand each other, and aren't shy about exchanging insults and screwing each other over. Despite this, while they still don't exactly like each other even by the film's end, they do trust each other, and that goes a long way towards keeping them both alive.

Disappeared Dad
 Hobbs & Shaw / int_28cd01ca
comment
Hobbs is one of several brothers born on Samoa to a single mother. His deadbeat Disappeared Dad was a criminal who came back into their lives when they were teenagers, under the pretense of reconnecting with them but really to turn them into his new crew. Luke was the only one to see through his ruse and, when it became clear he was willing to let his sons die, turned him in to the police. He left Samoa shortly after and has never been back since; his brother Jonah is particularly sore about this, saying he abandoned his family.

Outside-Genre Foe: Despite its increasingly outrageous stunts, up to this point the franchise was still largely confined within the realms of reality. Super-Soldier Brixton and the Nebulous Evil Organisation he works for, however, are straight out of a Science Fiction movie.

Hollywood Hacking: Exaggerated. In the movie are 'net-connected weapons that can be disabled remotely with ease. Becomes Fridge Logic because even the bad guy can be disabled in a similar way, but nobody even considers doing it via hacking.

Frameup: Done repeatedly: Brixton frames Hattie for the murder of her team after she injects herself with the virus. Then, after Hobbs and Shaw ruin his attempt to kidnap her, he has them framed for his attack on the CIA as well. Later in the film it's revealed Brixton did this to Shaw in their past, framing him for the murder of his own team after he refused to join Eteon.

Noodle Incident
 Hobbs & Shaw / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident: Hobbs claims this to be the fourth time he has saved the world. Assuming that his involvement in preventing Cipher from becoming a nuclear power counts as one, that leaves two very interesting adventures unaccounted for. This is likely a reference to his involvement in Fast 6 and Furious 7. Though he wasn’t the main player, he did help. Shaw tries to ditch Hobbes at the airport by giving him a alias that not only is a juvenile pun, but also triggers security. A short time later, Hobbes manages to join them on the plane anyway, with only a brief quip about using his people skills to charm his way out of the mess.

comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Due to his Super-Soldier status most of the battles against Brixton go this way for the heroes, with them repeatedly only surviving via taking advantage of their terrain (sending his bike crashing into a tour bus, having half his Ukrainian base collapse on him during the truck fight). It's only in the final battle the heroes are able to subvert this by working together to overload his enhanced senses.

comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: After everyone being framed as terrorists, Shaw hand waves a claim about being able to digitally hide their appearance and create new passports when they travel. While Hattie's in-person disguise is rather convincing (due to wearing big glasses and a brown pixie cut wig to hide her medium-length blonde hair), Shaw's amounts to wearing a beanie, while Hobbs has a mustache and a hat. While Hobbs is given trouble at the airport due to Shaw messing with him, no one is discovered. All the more blatant as Hattie ditches her wig as soon as she's on the plane, which you'd think the aircrew might have noticed.

Body Horror: Throughout the film, we are repeatedly told that Brixton is “cybernetically enhanced�, but are never shown how. That is, until a scene late in the film where Brixton is being patched up, and we are treated to the sight of Brixton’s back being effectively zippered back up over his metal spine. From the sounds he’s making, it’s a less-than-pleasant experience. The effects of the "Snowflake" virus are not a pretty sight; within 72 hours, it causes liquefaction of the host's organs, turning the body into, as described by Locke, "a bag of hot soup." Thankfully, we're spared from seeing this ourselves.

Canon Welding: We find out here that Brixton had Shaw framed for the murder of his own team 8 years before the events of the film, when their Eteon recruitment went south. It not only explains why he was a rogue operative when we met him in Furious 7 (where it was mentioned the British government had tried to have him killed for some unspecified crimes) but also his implication to Hobbs in The Fate of the Furious that his traitor status was due to being set up (like Hobbs in that film). It also explains Deckard's assertion in Fate that Cipher had "corrupted" Owen, an odd statement coming from someone who'd been a villain trying to kill Toretto and the team a film prior. Here we find out that Deckard was framed for the murder of his team, never truly stooping to the depths his brother Owen did, committing his worst acts in the seventh film out of a deeply displaced sense of family loyalty.

Idiot Ball: A second after Hobbs tells the guard how dangerous Hattie is. The guard reacts unprofessionally after the very first taunt. Possibly the whole station as nobody notices anything while Hattie beats the guards and the bad guys go to the roof undisturbed. The mysterious leader of Eteon initially holds it in regards to dealing with Hobbs & Shaw. Instead of letting Brixton and his men eliminate the duo before they can become an even bigger threat to their plans, the boss insists that they be forcibly recruited into their operation. This attempt ends up costing them an entire base, countless men and resources, and ultimately the Snowflake Virus itself. Brixton gets the ball during the ending—even after it is clear that his cybernetics cannot help much against two strong opponents at the same time, he doesn't even try to line his opponents up so they can't attack at the same time. At the beginning of the movie, however, he had no problems with multiple opponents.

Breather Episode

Breather Episode: While it might become an Innocuously Important Episode to the main series, it's more or less a break from revolving around the equally intense adventures of the main series involving Dominic Toretto and his crew and more of a lighthearted buddy comedy actioner involving two unlikely allies (Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw) basically being forced to reconcile by teaming up against a greater threat. It's notable for also being the first installment to not involve Dom and his crew (besides Hobbs and Shaw) who probably weren't needed for the mission, considering it's a Spin-Off to the main franchise.

Logical Weakness: Brixton's cybernetics make him impossible to beat in single combat, but his Combat Clairvoyance is limited to his sight, so people can still blindside him. Hobbs and Shaw just have to coordinate their attacks so that one is always in a blindspot as Brixton attacks the other.

What Happened to the Mouse?

What Happened to the Mouse?: Shaw's brother Owen, who he was shown to be close enough to in Furious 7 to go after Dom's crew in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after they left him in a coma, is mentioned exactly once, and never seen even in the flashbacks to Deckard and Hattie's youth - a particular oddity in a film that shows us so much of the Shaw family backstory.note In the flashback for the Keith Moon a second boy is seen helping set the bomb up on the safe, before running away from the explosion in the opposite direction to Deckard and Hattie, this is presumably Owen, but he's not clarifed as such. Luke and Hattie share a quick kiss at sunset before the final battle. He asks if she wants to do it again, and she says no, but maybe the next sunset if they survive. After the final fight ends, Hattie and Luke have exactly zero scenes together.

Willfully Weak: Hobbs manages to track down Hattie and she tries to fight him off. Despite being a skilled MI6 operative, he's still a foot taller and 200 pounds heavier. A few moments makes it seem like she is getting the upper hand using Improvised Weapons, grappling and arm locks, but he is just biding his time letting her wear herself out. The instant he's done he just lifts her in the air.

 Hobbs & Shaw / int_8d6d9535
comment
Artistic License – Medicine: When people donate blood, they are told to keep their arm still until the process is over, to prevent the needle from moving in the donor's arm. Hattie's running around during the final battle scene with a blood filtration device plugged into her arm to extract the virus capsules, while she goes around swinging an axe at mooks with the arm said filtration device was plugged into, would have torn the veins in her arm to shreds. One thing that may mitigate this is the fact that it's not a normal needle filtering her blood. There appear to be six needles in the device in some kind of clamp-on wrist cuff, which may keep the device in place while doing anything strenuous.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: A variant: Brixton is all for killing Hobbs and Shaw after they foil his attempt to capture Hattie in London, but his mysterious superior insists he try to turn them to their side. This means he doesn't immediately kill them when he has them at his mercy - inevitably leading to their getting free and destroying his Ukrainian base. When he's getting patched up after this, his master concedes he was right, much to Brixton's visible frustration.

Shrouded in Myth: The Wizards, the unit that Air Marshal Dinkley used to be a member of. They're so covert that they earned that nickname from the "magic" they pull off. Hobbs and Shaw are both decently impressed by what they've heard.

Hallway Fight: We get two happening simultaneously, as seen here. Hobbs and Shaw both go down two corridors that are connected by a window. Hobbs quickly takes down the Giant Mook in his hallway while Shaw takes down a larger number of villains.

Hobbs threatens to take a chair, turn it sideways and ram it down Shaw's throat. This is very close to one of his wrestling catchphrases, only the chair had a different destination.

Shout-Out
 Hobbs & Shaw / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Shaw has a classic-model Mini Cooper, which he says he used for a job in Italy. This is a reference to The Italian Job (1969), which featured bank robbers in Italy making their escape in classic Mini Coopers. Statham starred in the 2003 remake, though the Mini Coopers in that film were the newer BMW model and never used in Italy. Brixton boasts about being "black Superman" when he's trying to get the captive heroes to join him. When Shaw explains his backstory, Hobbs compares him to The Terminator. Locke spends most of The Stinger complaining about the Game of Thrones finale. Doubles as Spoiling Shout-Out. Posters for 48 Hrs., Cobra, and Lethal Weapon 3 are seen at some point. Brixton's hyper-advanced motorcycle that can self-drive and change shape makes some very familiar noises while doing so. In one shot during their time at Hobbs' home, someone standing behind his mother can be seen wearing a hook necklace. It looks identical to the hook used by Maui in Moana.

The mysterious leader of Eteon initially holds it in regards to dealing with Hobbs & Shaw. Instead of letting Brixton and his men eliminate the duo before they can become an even bigger threat to their plans, the boss insists that they be forcibly recruited into their operation. This attempt ends up costing them an entire base, countless men and resources, and ultimately the Snowflake Virus itself.

Just Plane Wrong
 Hobbs & Shaw / int_ce1c73e2
comment
Just Plane Wrong: When a helicopter is trying to gain altitude while chained to a truck, the pilot grunts and groans while pulling back on the main control stick. The clear implication is that a helicopter's ability to climb is in direct proportion to the amount of musclepower applied to the stick, as though the pilot is physically lifting the attached weight himself. In reality, the stick he's holding is called the cyclic pitch stick, and all it does is tilt the helicopter in the direction you pull the stick. Another control called the collective pitch lever, which you pull up on like a parking brake, controls how much lift the main rotor generates, in conjunction with a twist-grip throttle on the same lever (which works like a motorcycle's throttle). None of these controls gets harder to pull or twist if the helicopter is lifting a heavy load. It's probably more of a case of the pilot straining due to repeatedly trying to make the Heli pitch in a panic situation, being more a security-blanket type reaction rather than any actual strain of the controls.

Lighter and Softer
 Hobbs & Shaw / int_ce6555f0
comment
Lighter and Softer: While the main franchise from which this film is spun off isn't without it's own occassional Comic Relief moments, they are still fairly dark, intense and gritty and emotionally serious films that feature a whole lot of tearjerker moments despite being an action-oriented franchise. Hobbs and Shaw, on the other hand, is more of a lighthearted action buddy comedy that has more levity and goofiness than any of the mainstream films that came before it. That being said, however, the Big Bad is still a fairly serious threat (though not without his Laughably Evil moments, either), the stakes are still high and the film does become more serious in the third act, but the overall tone is more in the line of Central Intelligence than your average Fast and Furious film (which is usually much more Darker and Edgier).

Achilles' Heel
 Hobbs & Shaw / int_d7639dba
comment
Achilles' Heel: Brixton is constantly fed visual real-time information on his opponents' movements, but despite the advantage, he is still limited to his eyesight. He is so focused on what is in front of him that he is easily blindsided. Hobbs and Shaw realize this, and agree that someone has to take a hit so the other can attack from the side, and they switch off repeatedly.

Flanderization: The Fate of the Furious had Hobbs and Shaw start as antagonists but eventually get on, becoming Fire-Forged Friends chasing Cipher (the two notably share a laugh over the ridiculousness of each other's threats at one point there). This film instead plays up the two's verbal sparring and bickering from their jail scenes in Fate to the point they can initially barely stand to be in the same room.

Dark and Troubled Past
 Hobbs & Shaw / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Both Hobbs and Shaw have one, but in very different ways. Brixton is shown to have one as well, with strong ties to Shaw. Hobbs is one of several brothers born on Samoa to a single mother. His deadbeat Disappeared Dad was a criminal who came back into their lives when they were teenagers, under the pretense of reconnecting with them but really to turn them into his new crew. Luke was the only one to see through his ruse and, when it became clear he was willing to let his sons die, turned him in to the police. He left Samoa shortly after and has never been back since; his brother Jonah is particularly sore about this, saying he abandoned his family. Shaw is a former MI6 agent. He and Brixton are old associates, both of whom gradually became disillusioned with the world they were fighting to preserve over the course of their careers. Eteon approached both of them and offered the chance to Join or Die; Brixton accepted, but Shaw declined, and Brixton was sent to assassinate him to keep him from talking; he failed and Shaw ended up killing him, but not before successfully framing Deckard for going rogue and killing the rest of his squad. Shaw was forced to go underground and his sister broke all ties with him because she thought he was guilty, while Brixton's body was recovered and he was revived as a cyborg assassin.
