The Shaw Brothers are Cyborgs
I originally posted this on the Furious 7 Board back in 2015 but I want to post it here too now that we've moved boards:
THEORY: THE SHAW BROTHERS ARE CYBORGS
I'm thinking it may be possible that Deckard Shaw is a Cyborg or a Cybernetically enhanced human.
How the HELL did Shaw keep coming after them! He was completely unrelentless and wouldn't die.
How could he survive that ending drop?!
And - MOST IMPORTANTLY
The way Jason Statham chose the play the character, the way he walked and moved, it was very robotic.
I noticed it right away in Jason's first scene, when he is walking away from the camera toward the door. He doesn't walk like that in his other movies, not even close. So it's either a choice he made as an actor, or he was directed to play it that way by the director.
Also,
- the scene where he expertly hacks into Hobbes computer.
- The way he consumes food was very fuel-like. I know food IS fuel, but keeping in mind cyborgs are part human, there was something very cyborg/android/robotic like about the way he seemed to be re-fueling/re-charging when we see him consuming food.
- his living conditions, it was bare bones, just enough to sustain life, there was something very machine-like about it.
- the way "scans" the perimeter in the ending warehouse scene, picking out where the cops are taking cover.
ALSO IMPORTANT: With all the high-tech cars and that crazy jet at the end that was straight out of a Sci-Fi movie, I think it's totally possible that Deckard Shaw is a Cyborg, or more likely, a Cybernetically Enhanced human.
I watch all of Stathams movies, and that dude seriously does not move or walk like that in any other film.
ALSO
I think it will also be revealed that Deckards brother Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) was still alive after FF6 because he was saved by the same Cybernetic Technology that his brother has.
- Owen Shaw was saved by technology the way Alex Murphy was in Robocop.
Deckard Shaw had already been Cybernetically enhanced.
Think about it. It makes sense.
Deckard Shaw was like this films Terminator or Winter Soldier. unrelenting and unstoppable living and moving a machine like existence.
