Sean (lucas black). they had to bring him back because he was the last one see Han alive before he was killed. i am going to assume they are going to tie the final scene from tokyo drift into this movie somehow, which is the reason we now know why Dom was in japan in that movie. but i guess things changed with the loss of paul walker and they needed to fill in the void left behind.

i was just watching the teaser again: is that Brian or Sean wearing a FBI bulletproof vest?

Well according to IMDB in this picture (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1780677376/tt2820852?ref_=tt_pv_md_2), she is Nathalie Emmanuel (character name: Ramsey).

Yup. Was definitely super emotional to watch. Never would I have thought that a Fast and Furious movie would make me cry. I think it hits us hard since Paul Walker made such a big impact on our generation/community.

RIP Paul Walker

When they split at the end I bawled my eyes out. But it was probably the best way to retire Paul's character in the series. They handled it perfectly.

Saw it at Riverport tonight, recognized a lot of cars in the parking lot so I know some of ya'll did as well.

All I can say is wow, 14 years later, what a trip. I didn't cry, but I definitely felt it.

RIP Paul Walker.

[Lomac]

Wont mince words as that was a fucking terrible movie (I'm sure that's gonna be an unpopular opinion). I've a feeling that their continuity supervisor either fell asleep ten minutes into the whole filming schedule and never woke up, or they didn't even bother hiring one. Simply on a technical level, the film had far too many mistakes. Even on a practical level, a lot of it didn't make sense.

That said, it's an FnF film, so I wasn't expecting a realistic movie. Definitely a leave-your-mind-at-the-door and simply enjoy the moving pictures in front of you. A few of the technical errors did end up pulling me out of my enjoyment but overall it was a decent addition to the franchise. My only real issue with that aspect is that it's definitely veered far off course from it's origins, though I did enjoy a bunch of the nods to the original film (Race Wars, driving under an 18-wheeler, etc).

And I did genuinely appreciate the final few minutes of the film. Nice monologue by Vin Diesel (in Dom-guise) to Paul.

[Special K]

why the white supra? I thought they might use the blue r34

Edit: nvm... http://fastandfurious.wikia.com/wiki/Toyota_Supra

[van19]

Dem feelz.

No better way to pay tribute to Paul Walker than that last scene.

[Tone Loc]

Not going to lie, I teared up a bit.

Logically, I know Paul Walker was just an actor in a movie.

But a huge part of me credits the FnF movies (mostly the first 3) with my love affair for cars. I remember being 9 years old and begging my dad to buy the VHS - yes, it was THAT long ago - copy of the first movie. We had to have watched it about 20 times the first week we owned it. To this day I can pretty much recite every single line in the film word-for-word. Growing up, guys like Walker were a huge role model for me. Not only on screen, but because he was a charitable individual who didn't do stupid-ass shit like the celebrities of today (Kim K, Kanye, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen, etc.) but instead stayed low-key and true to himself. I saw that clip of him where he went to Japan to visit Mine's and test drive an R34 and thinking... damn, this guy actually is Brian O'Connor in real life!

RIP Paul. IMO Universal did a good job with paying tribute to him, I was really worried they'd be insensitive and kill him off but the way they did it was awesome. Especially at the end when the two cars split ways (that song too, DAMN!) was extremely touching to watch. You can see the pain in Vin Diesel's eyes, and you know he isn't just acting at that point. Paul really was his best friend and it shows in their chemistry. Personally, I was crushed when I received the news that Paul died, and doubly crushed when the news came out that he passed away during a charity event... it's times you wonder why a celebrity who actually does something constructive with their fame dies, but many of them live senseless lives of hedonism and worthlessness for 80+ years...

That being said, the movie requires a LOT of "suspension of disbelief". But then again, movies are entertainment, and I personally enjoy movies that don't take themselves super seriously. I pay $15 to be entertained, not to pull out my imaginary fact checker and tick boxes in my head.

Realistically, I'll probably watch Fast 8 if (and when) it ever comes out. But those movies will never be the same without Paul Walker.

P.S: the only way they could have made this movie "better" as a tribute was to have Ja Rule at some point screaming "NOOOOO, MONICAAAA"

[j.f0ng]

^ Couldn't have put it better myself.

Watched the movie earlier tonight and goddamn, it definitely did not disappoint in the "no fucking way wtf how is that even happening" aspect. Hobb's one liners definitely deserve a honourable mention. :awwyeah:

But those last few minutes hit way too hard. Tears were on the verge of falling out. The combination of the song, the tribute to the OG cars, Dom's words, and the cars splitting up was simply a perfect ending, while heartbreaking at the same time. You can tell it wasn't just a tribute to O'Connor and the family aspect, but a tribute to Paul Walker as a person. I was pretty speechless at the end of the movie and just sat there for a few minutes processing everything and gathering myself. The flashback scenes reminded me of back in early highschool when FnF marathons would air on MuchMusic on friday nights and I'd sit through all of them..oh man the memories. Never thought a FnF movie could make me feel this way. I thought the tribute at the beginning of Fast 6 was good, but this one just slammed everyone in the theatre with the feelz. :QQ:

On a side note, while I was headed to the theatre, I drove behind a STI with the RIP Paul Walker decal on their rear window. Thought that was a cool little coincidence.

Lomac being a production guy, and me being a nerd for this sort of stuff, there was one technique in the fight sequences I don't think I have ever seen before. Curious to see if it stuck out to you as much as it did myself.

It happens atleast 3 times in the movie, I believe the first time being when Hobbs first fights statham, the next being when Brian fights the guy inside the bus when it flips on it's side, and the final time when Letty is fighting Rousey in Abu dhabi.

They "roll" the camera, it's a unique effect. If you watch as the fighters get flipped upside down, or as the bus rolls over the camera also does a roll. It sort of freezes the fighters in the frame, but you can tell what's going on. It's pretty cool.

I'd be interested to see how they achieved that. I looked through some of the behind the scenes stuff and didn't notice this mentioned.

I forget what the name of that technique is called, but it's a relatively simple process. Typically it's merely a matter of bolting the camera to a wall or piece of furniture that's going to be moving along with the actors. If a couch flips onto it's back, just tack the camera to the top and let it fall with the scene.

Another means of achieving this shot is to use a remote swivel head that can rotate upside down or to use an actual repurposed industrial robotic arm. The former is definitely cheaper but the latter can be programmed to do the exact same shot as many times as you need, at whatever speed you want.

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gravitymovie/images/7/7b/BotandDolly_Robotic_Arm-1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140325175820

Alternatively they could have been using an extensively modified version of a body harness.

http://www.chapmanleonard.com/rigs-and-support/bodyrigs/1%20%282%29.jpg

Either way, it's definitely an effective shot.

[Lomac]

One thing I want to touch on that I doubt most people will think about is the change of directors from Justin Lin to James Wan. A lot of people were critical of having a director that's done virtually nothing but horror movies suddenly in charge of an action thriller. Merely looking at the way Fast 6 and Furious 7 are visualized, I think it was a good decision to go with Wan. The thing about directing horror movies is that, at least in his case, it tends to be a very visual genre. Therefore a lot of shots have to be thought out well in advance and need to add something to the scene. Lin's visuals were good, yes, but still very generic shots. Wan, on the other hand, seemed to give his Director of Photography more freedom on the creativity aspect (as touched on in Meme405's comments). No, not all of the shots succeeded and some were definitely overused (far too many 360* dolly shots, imo), but overall it added that little extra visual eye candy that was missing from the other movies.

If you still don't quite know what I'm talking about, watch Ron Howard's Rush. The camera work and angles in that movie is probably the best I have ever seen in any movie, especially when it comes to the creativity of many of the angles.

[noclue]

I thought the movie sucked compared to the previous ones. It started off really well with race wars but then it focused too much on fights, guns and explosions instead of cars, became another typical action genre movie. I thought the military helicopter and the predator drone in the middle of LA was really ridiculous and not in the cool way.

PS the MMA girl can't act lol

Tokyo drift was the last real "car based" fast and furious, the fast franchise now is more of a action movie designed to appeal to the masses with a little bit of car stuff to keep the original fans interested

She's in Entourage as well, although I guess the acting in that is minimal given that she plays herself.

[pastarocket]

Furious 7 had its moments. The ninjas were definitely working overtime tonight with the chopping of onions. -felt the emotion from seeing the last few scenes at the end of the movie.

There were many exotic cars in this movie. A red R8, yellow 458 Italia, white Veyron, a black Aventador that Jason Statham drives to an oil refinery, etc.

A surprise was the casting of one of the characters. She's so hot! :jizz:

Ramsey, the hacker, is one hot actress! Nathalie Emmanuel also plays Missandei in Game of Thrones. The scene where she steps out the swimming pool in Dubai while wearing a bikini is hot. You could hear the HNNNNGGG from the guys in the theatre.

The big theme of this movie:

A big theme of Furious 7 is "family." Letty finally remembers all her romantic experiences with Dom. She remembers them getting married in the Dominican Republic in one of the last scenes where Dom drives his Dodge Charger off a building while fighting Deckard Shaw, the brother of Owen Shaw from Furious 6. Dom is in Letty's arms while she tells Dom that she remembers everything about their lives together. Of course, Dom regains consciousness.

OH DAMN...THE FEELS in the last scene!

I thought the movie was pretty fucking good, granted there was some "outrageous" stunts but overall it was a great movie but bittersweet since this will be the last movie and last FnF with Paul Walker.

I definitely felt all the feels during the tribute to Paul Walker in the last scene. All those memories, starting with FnF and all the way til F7. It was just an amazing journey and an equally amazing ride with Paul Walker.

Rock Bottom on Statham :lol :lol

[Ch28]

Rock Bottom on Statham was awesome. I was the only one that went "ROCK BOTTOM!!!" :lol

I almost teared up at the end. Hearing Vin Diesel with his eulogy at the end definitely hit me hard. I think it also has to do with the fact that all of us basically grew up with this movie and the cast, so it's like seeing an extension of us leave and never come back.

Made almost $150million in North America

The highest April weekend

At the domestic box office, Furious 7's $147.2 million debut is 55 percent higher than Captain America: The Winter Soldier's $95 million, which was the previous April record holder.

This is also the biggest debut in the franchise thus far, up a whopping 51 percent over Fast & Furious 6. Furious 7 earned $13.3 million on IMAX screens alone, which ranks second all-time for a 2D-only movie behind The Dark Knight Rises.

and almost $400million total worldwide

The movie also opened to an incredible $245 million overseas; that's without any help from China, Japan and Russia, where it will open in the next few weeks. So far, Furious 7 has earned $392 million worldwide, and is very likely on track to earn over $1 billion by the end of its run.

Where did you get that information from? Cause I'm pretty sure that whole thing was not real. Maybe that end sequence just before hitting the road.

Got it from wikipedia. :)

The "air drop" scene was conceived by stunt coordinator, Spiro Razatos, who supervised on Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6. Razatos told Business Insider that he wanted to rely more on real stunts rather than CGI because he wanted the whole sequence to "feel real" and satisfy audience's expectations. The stunt took months of prep-solving problems. Cameras needed to be mounted onto cars in a way that they would not be destroyed when the cars landed, and the crew had to figure out a safe way to get the cars out of the plane. They performed a dry run with a single car falling out of a plane and did this six times. Cars were dropped from a Lockheed C-130 Hercules high above the Arizona desert, but close up shots that show the cars landing on a mountain road were filmed in Colorado. There were two airplanes, flying at a height of 12,000 feet, each dropping two cars apiece. BRS parachutes enabled with GPS were secured to each of the cars before dropping off the C-130 plane. At about 5,000 feet, the parachutes deployed. Over 10 cameras were used for the sequence. In addition to cameras on the ground, there were cameras remotely operated inside the plane and another three mounted outside each car. Additional cameras were on a helicopter, where Razatos was stationed watching monitors. Three skydivers used in the shoot wore helmet cameras to help shoot the sequence from multiple angles. Sky divers would either jump out before cars or after them. While all the cars landed on their drop zones, 70% landed perfectly and 30% didn't. The last part of the scene, which shows the cars hitting the road, was shot separately. To get that right, the team set up a pully sytem that had cars six to eight feet above the ground. When it was time, the drivers raced their engines and slid to the ground at full speed. Razatos admits that the air drop sequence was "all real" and that it would be "hard to top.

the air drop was real, but the movie footage of the landing on the road was done on a giant zipline.

there are youtube videos posted on this thread showing them pushing out the cars one at time out of a hercules c-130 since the USAF would never allow them to use one of their globemasters for this. (on a side note: i don't know if this is for real or not, but people said to look carefully at the markings on the globemaster, and then compare it to the one that was used in the last superman movie... same plane?)

and if you follow mightycarmods they did an episode on it as well. they showed footage of the remains of the green challenger letty drove after it landed intact, but the wind caught the chute dragged it across the desert like a tumbleweed and destroyed it:o

[Mr.Money]

the ending saved it.......personally i couldn't turn my brain off when it came to staying realistic compared to last F&F movies .....these Cheesy camera tracking scenes

[Nabatron]

I didn't mind the movie a lot of crazy action none realistic really but over all decent movie! Ending was emotional that's for sure RIP Paul Walker!

Any word on anymore fast and furious movies or is this it? With all the money they are making in these films I can't see it ever ending but I guess one day it will!

Also I wish they got the Tokyo drift guy to help instead of him doing just a cameo!

[underscore]

Better acting and effects than I expected, but that storyline was disappointing (to be polite). I didn't expect much given that they pick the actors before the script but still, I expected Statham to actually be somewhat relevant.

As a side note, wtf ever happened to Leon from the first movie? All this "family" stuff feels so weird when most of the original secondary characters are gone and the rest are fairly new.

He dies during the events of Fast Five in Rio. EDIT: Sorry I was thinking about Vince. Good question. Where the fuck is Leon, he had the yellow R33 if I remember right...

I heard they were recruiting Eva Mendes to come back for the next movie. Which would be interesting I guess.

[dachinesedude]

i think you mistaken vince with leon

[Nabatron]

Yeah come to think of it what did ever happen to Leon? Haha they brought back that other dude who hated Brian O'Conner guy who liked Mia but hated Brian!

[thumper]

from what i remember after searching google awhile back (i remember an article about him that was tied to the destruction of the r33 gtr (aka. "yellow bird") by the US gov't johnny strong (leon) didn't want to come back and was "pursuing other interests", but i'm not sure if he was even offered to come back :confused:

there will be an eighth, if vin diesel's comments during interviews are for real or not.

lucas black was deep into his role in NCIS New Orleans, which made his schedule very tight, so what you saw was as much they could get from him to help tie the tokyo drift movie back to this one.

[Gerbs]

:QQ::QQ:

[Jaffray]

The part when Dwayne Johnson was fighting Jason Statham at the police station .. I believe? And Johnson did his signature "Rock Bottom" :lol

But the ending doe.. :QQ: What a way to end it.

[underscore]

Yeah that was Vince, and Jesse didn't *have* to be dead after getting shot by Johnny Tran. Considering all the other bs they pull, having Jesse live wouldn't have been a stretch at all.

I heard they were recruiting Eva Mendes to come back for the next movie. Which would be interesting I guess.

It would be good if she actually made sense being there, and not just writing her in because they want Eva Mendes in the movie like they did with Letty (or like half the characters in F7).

[Nabatron]

More characters the better haha! But yeah Im hoping the F&F keeps on going gotta see how high it can go but will be tough with no more Paul...

[Obsideon]

Just watched it in IMAX.

You can tell when everyone was sitting at the beach they are no longer acting. Too much feels.

The movie itself wasn't "great" but it's what you would expect from a FnF movie. The action and suspense had me on the edge of my seat.

It gets me every time that all the characters in the movie are essentially Terminators reborn;
Crowbar to the face? No problem, it's just a black smudge across the cheek.
Explosion forces your head through the van window? Oh I messed up my hair.
Car splits in half? Oh I got a papercut on my forearm.

The Rock splitting his cask by flexing had me laughing pretty hard. Damn he's jacked.

Abu Dhabi thoughts - That "birthday girl" that Tyrese was talking to at the party, SMOKIN'! :megusta:
Sandwiched between the cleavage and the Lykan HyperSport scenes was Ronda Rousey which almost single-handedly killed my mood with her horrible 1-liner and nasty make-up.

[ae101]

Official music video to See You Again here, for some reason cant find it on youtube
Wiz Khalifa - "See You Again" [Music Video Premiere] (http://www.directlyrics.com/wiz-khalifa-see-you-again-music-video-premiere-news.html)

i saw the mv in MCD, i started to tear up near the end as i was having my big mac & some ppl started to staring at me

[Tim Budong]

I enjoyed the movie
definitely popcorn movie. Feel Ninjas showed up and some people teared up.

[zetazeta]

Thoughts on the movie:

-the plot and storyline wasn't as good as the 5th or 6th
-Ronda Rousey's line was just ... :rukidding:
-loved some of the references and throwbacks to the old FF films
-the ending with the song and flashbacks was so much feelllsss

Overall, really enjoyed the movie. Movie 7/10, ending 11/10.

Is it true that the Abu Dhabi scenes were shot after PW's death? If so, they did a great job cuz I couldn't tell it was cgi or his brothers..

[thumper]

yeah ronda... well all i care to take from that is that letty has now beat down MMA fighters :thumbsup:

from what i've seen online, cody and caleb said their first shoots were in abu dhabi. there is a picture floating around somewhere of them together in front of a mclaren on set there.

[GLOW]

for those of you not feeling the rap portion of the song i found a version with just charlie puth

[death_blossom]

the return of Hector stole the whole movie! haha.

no feels ninjas for me. at the ending, I couldn't stop thinking they were milking Paul Walker's death to sell as many tickets as possible. I think all the hype and subsequent marketing surrounding his death soured my experience a bit when I watched this movie.

[hamsup]

yah..the hector scene brought back lots.. i think they were going to talk about if he went pro or not.. in the ***** circuit ! hahaha

[Nicotine]

pockets aint empty cuz

[CaptainSigFig]

agreed. iunno if it's just me, but i feel like all the trailers purposely include shots of walker turning his head or looking cheerful, just so it makes people remember that he's passed on.

[Nabatron]

I wish they played off of race wars more but now the FnF series is all about action and shit! I wish they went back to more racing but gotta appeal to the masses I guess!

[blackGS?]

When the first FnF movie came out, I just graduated from HS.
Now married with 2 kids, The Brian, Mia and whole "family" thing got to me. Soo much feels
Loved seeing all the LA landmarks from the first one. I.e. Parking lot Dom hid the Rx-7

[Mr.Money]

seeing that drone and helicopter flying around in LA...."ahh that's fake as fuck"
watching Ronda Rousey get her ass kicked in bad make-up & shitty acting "..ahh this is fake as fuck again".

Super car jumping building to building.."fucking dumb ass movie!".

Vin Diesel coming alive at the end right in perfect timing :seriously:

[EndLeSS8]

Just got back, it was good!
Almost got the tears, but it was really emotional

What ever happened to Han's GF?

At the end of 6 (where Han dies) I really REALLY wished they ret-conned it to have him live... NO HAN DON'T DIE!!!

I'm glad they put in that guy from Tokyo Drift though

[Obsideon]

Han's GF Gisele (Gal Gadot) fell out of a plane in 6.

The guy from Tokyo Drift (Lucas Black)... ehhh... I didn't dig his acting back then and his cameo wasn't any better.
"What ya gonna do when you find him?" in an almost cowboy accent...

[Vale46Rossi]

I watched it for the 3rd time today....

Such Emotions :(

For the people complaining about the cheesy parts... to me the fast and furious franchise have to have those, if not whats the point?

The cheesy parts make me feel that it's still fast and furious and not a different action movie.

The ending was absolutely beautiful, when they split off going into a different direction...

:(

[Gumby]

When Brian handed over the flash drive to Kurt Russell's character, I thought they were gonna double cross the team. "Thanks for getting this back; now you're on your own!"

The music sure made it suspenseful!

SAME! Glad he's didnt turn out to be a traitor. Looking forward to what the next film(s) will bring with him on board

Btw, where was that car split scene filmed? also what's that road to Race Wars? Gotta include in my next road trip.

Can't help you with either of those, but I can tell you where the roads that the bus scenes were filmed on. Some of it was filmed on Pikes Peak, and some of it was filmed on the Monarch Pass in Colorado. I've driven all of it, either in April last year or March this year while exploring roads for Classic Car Adventure's events. Was pretty distracting when, during the bus scene all I could think of was "I know that road! I know that road!!" Looked it up after I got out, and realized I was correct.

-Dave

*Edit* Adding to this post, as I've found some more roads / locations / info for you:

"Race Wars" was filmed about 70miles north of LA in Lancaster. The filming location for Race Wars was highway 138. http://goo.gl/maps/bE92k It has some curves, so it's *possible* they simply used those as the road in, but pretty unlikely. The second unit team (mostly stunt coordinators, and not the lead actors) did a lot of the travelling and location shoots while the actors were primarily based in Atlanta.

Interestingly enough, the ending of the bus scene with the running and spoiler catch was actually a real stunt, and not CGI. Filmed in a rock quarry in Atlanta.

[Xu.Vi]

The ending............................................ ................

https://youtu.be/l-_UDxC2ot8

A video on the stunts in the movie - the cars falling out of the plane scene, i was thinking to myself "man that's some pretty shitty CGI" lol

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

i really wished johnny tran made a cameo.

[RiceIntegraRS]

i really wished johnny tran made a cameo.

Johnny Tran Died in the first one, i was thinking Lance would come back and get 1 punched by Letty again and that would be it. i would of lost my shit if Ja Rule came back.

[Tim Budong]

None of them really was said to be dead. I mean, Jessie could have 50cent that shit too and survive lol

[godwin]

The actor is playing a Cajun in NCIS New Orleans.

I find it fascinating that Dom's taste of car are now all FCA cars.. I still remembered he was driving a SS.

Han's GF Gisele (Gal Gadot) fell out of a plane in 6.

The guy from Tokyo Drift (Lucas Black)... ehhh... I didn't dig his acting back then and his cameo wasn't any better.

[underscore]

Considering the garbage they've pulled to have other characters live (like Letty and Shaw) someone getting shot a couple times would be pretty minor.

[604STIG]

I'm sure the next one will have Owen Shaw busting his brother out of prison or something, they just ended his scene with him laying in a hospital bed.

That ending, best ending they could have ever done. 100 out of 10.

[Gumby]

Kurt Russell's character will be in the next F&F.

[StylinRed]

Just watched it, you really couldn't notice the CGI, of Paul, in the movie except for that shot in the trailer, but even then the moment he moves his head it's as if there was no CGI


The movie wasn't that great, for me, tbh and they really upped the cheesy lines and scenes in this one, the last two were much better

The tribute to Paul was really nice though


6/10

(wish we saw more of Japan)
