Behind the Explosive Magic of Fast and Furious 7 [video]

In Fast and Furious 7, even a childish tricycle, when it flips over, is likely to explode into thousands of flaming pieces in the air - leaving behind nothing but a thick trail of smoke as it plummeted down the nearest bluff. Okay, no problem, since that's what the long one is all about: adrenaline and absurd amounts of flammable objects. However, behind all the magic seen on the movie screen is, of course, hard work ... and also costly.

Following just over 3 minutes above, you follow the stunt coordinator of the new Universal Pictures movie Jack Gill, having the beautiful opportunity to see what's behind the magician's hat. “It all boiled down to the idea that whatever we did, it had to be something big - it had to be something big enough to get a 'Wow!' Gill introduces, following the image of a huge tanker truck skidding spectacularly down the track.

What follows are sequences of gunfire, explosions, rollovers and “flights” found in the film - though without the worry of hiding cables, catapults, explosives, etc. This plus an almost outrageous amount of expensive bolides being instantly turned into flaming scrap. Well, in addition to dedication and hard work, the audience's “Wow!” Also takes its toll - $ 250 million, in this case.
