If you’ve seen the trailers and the television spots for Furious 7 then you’ve already seen the film’s heroes dropping from a Lockheed C-130 Hercules, but what you may not know is that most of that was done with practical effects – not digital. The fleet of cars were dropped from the plane at 12,000 feet and each came with a parachute that opened at 5,000 feet. There were several cameramen jumping out of the plane as well capturing all of the action.
Check out the “C-130 Drop” featurette in the video below.
Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black. They are joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell. The film was written by Chris Morgan.
Furious 7 races into theaters April 3, 2015.
