- Vin Diesel is a yes: his best start-to-finish performance in a Fast movie, one of the biggest stars in the world at this point, with a foil ('foyer' as transcribed) in The Rock to go toe-to-toe with, as the series became a kajillion-dollar franchise; the other votes yes for all the same reasons.
- Paul Walker is less certain because of his 2000-range breakout with Fast 1, but Fast 5 is the pick for him too, a buddy cop movie crossed with a heist in which he knew he would be as long as he lived, the best version of the best franchise he was ever in.
- The Rock is not a yes here: his apex was right before Skyscraper and Rampage came out, around 2016 with Central Intelligence, Moana and Fast 8 coming, talk of running for president and the biggest social media presence of any celebrity.
- A joke asks if this is Apex Mountain for cocoa butter, with ten pounds of it on his arms; nobody else is at apex, and whoever decided to make The Rock sweaty in every scene, even at night, had the second-best idea behind the bank vault.
