Fast Five
When street racing in Rio it's important to obey the custom of pimping your car out in a thong.
But since the street racers in this action movie are criminals, it's not surprising that they don't follow the rules.
After they free Dom (Vin Diesel) from custody, Mia (Jordana Brewster) and Brian (Paul Walker) flee to Rio, where they get involved in a car heist that finds a dead cop on their hands and a drug czars' data in their possession.
Privy to the location of the kingpin's cache, Dom and some acquaintances (Tyrese Gibson, Ludicrous) decide to appropriate it.
Meanwhile, US agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is hot on their trail.
The fifth installment in the franchise, Fast Five is a refreshing departure, where street racing takes a backseat to crazy chases and a memorable performance from The Rock.
Incidentally, Rio's Christ the Redeemer statue makes an excellent flag girl. (Green Light)
