This is something you must see; a bunch of cars being launched off the fourth and fifth floors of a downtown Cleveland, Ohio, parking garage, exploding in flames as they crash on the road.
This isn’t an accident or a CGI, but a real life stunt for the eighth-installment of the Fast and Furious franchise and it was recorded on film by YouTuber Kasey Crabtree earlier this week from her apartment window. Crabtree was originally focusing on the helicopter flying above before she heard a loud noise and turned around to capture the vehicles plunging from the multi-storey car park.
Fast 8 started filming in Cleveland on May 18 and will continue until June 10. You can see the exact locations and dates in the attached sheet below. According to Cleveland.com, “the movie is expected to create nearly 400 jobs, do business with 200 companies and book more than 8,200 hotel room nights during its three plus weeks of shooting here.”
In related news, on Friday, the producers shared a new behind-the-scenes video shot in Iceland, which gives us another look at Charlize Theron’s villainous character, as well as a number of cars that will participate in the movie that has already filmed scenes in Cuba and Atlanta, with New York believed to be next in line.
Fast 8, which kicks off a new trilogy for the series, is set to hit theaters on April 14. 2017.
