Where To Watch Fast & Furious 7

Furious 7 is packed with memorable behind-the-scenes details that make it more than just a typical action movie. The film was directed by James Wan, who was better known for horror movies such as Saw and The Conjuring before taking on the Fast & Furious franchise. Many of the movie’s spectacular sequences combined practical stunts with CGI, including the famous scene where cars appear to jump between the skyscrapers of Abu Dhabi. The production also filmed real vehicles being dropped from an aircraft for parts of the skydiving-car sequence. Because Paul Walker died during production, the filmmakers used his brothers, body doubles and digital effects to complete Brian O’Conner’s remaining scenes. The emotional final farewell between Brian and Dom was redesigned as a tribute to Walker and became one of the most memorable endings in blockbuster cinema. The movie also marked Jason Statham’s first major appearance as Deckard Shaw, establishing him as one of the franchise’s central villains before eventually becoming an important part of the team. With more than $1.5 billion worldwide, Furious 7 became a massive global box-office success and helped turn the franchise into one of Hollywood’s biggest action series.
