Furious 7’s ‘insane’ car drop adds fuel to action fire

Director James Wan wanted to make a statement with key heist sequences.

Furious 7 is Walker’s (third from left) final screen appearance. He completed the majority of his work on the film before his death.

IT’S not every action film that can boast of having dropped a fleet of racing vehicles from a C-130 aircraft flying 3,048m (10,000ft) over the Arizona-Nevada, border. But Furious 7 director James Wan, a newcomer to the fast-car franchise, wanted to make a statement with one of the sequel’s key heist sequences.
