Each new installment of the Fast & Furious franchise has to one-up the previous one in terms of car-related stunts, explosions and just plain insanity and the producers wanted everyone to know that they outperformed themselves once again.
Physics play no part in the F&F universe since the first movie came out but this takes nothing away from the sheer entertainment the audience extracts from the franchise. In order to keep that massive audience satisfied the producers have gone to great lengths, adopting the craziest and most over-the-top stunts you’ve seen so far. Cars jumping out of planes, cars being thrown out of cliffs, cars being exploded, cars jumping from one skyscraper to another, you get the idea.
Jack Gill, Stunt Coordinator of the movie, narrates the following video and says: “It has to be so enormous that we want to wow the audience; that’s part of the driving force behind this team, we know we can do it, we just have to keep working harder.”
