‘Fast and Furious’ absurd action scenes

After 19 years, ‘Fast and Furious’ has become a global hit franchise. However, the more famous, the film often “treats” the audience with absurd action scenes.

Oil tanker escape in Fast & Furious (2009): In the movie scene, a tank truck is crossing the desert, dragging oil tanks worth millions of dollars. Dom’s group (Vin Diesel) approaches the car, plotting to commit the theft at deadly speed. Their mission is to separate each tank of oil from the car and then flee with the precious fuel. However, things do not go as planned, leaving Dom and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) stuck in a canyon, one side of the tank truck has flipped upside down, the other side is the burning oil tank that is constantly upside down. knead and move towards them. The scene that deserves to be the climax to close an action movie turns out to be just the start of the Fast & Furious as Dom brilliantly catches the moment, and swerves away just as the flaming oil tank flips over their heads, crashed into the blocking vehicle on the other side and exploded. Prison car robbery in Fast Five (2011): The film opens with a scene where Dom is being transported by prison car, and his “family” is about to commit a prison robbery. Mia (Jordana Brewster), Dom’s sister, stops the prison car by overtaking and swerving, causing the car to change direction. Meanwhile, Brian (Paul Walker) picks up and slams on the brakes, sending the prison car off the highway. Normally, the weight of the prison car, and the people on it, was enough to crush half of Brian’s car and break his neck. But since this is the world of Fast & Furious, the prison car simply overturned, spun a few times on the road, shattered and released Dom, who miraculously didn’t suffer any serious injuries. which. The safe robbery in Fast Five: The climax of the film takes place in Rio de Janeiro. Dom’s group decided to rob money in the safe of the brutal drug lord Reyes. But instead of trying to break in and get the money out as usual, the friends decided to rob a safe the size of a room, strap it to the back of the Dodge Chargers and drag it around the street. . Despite the fact that the weight of the safe was too heavy for a four-seater vehicle to pull. The scene was still staged on the set, using many versions of the nearly 2.5m tall prop safe designed to be towed. In one scene, as the safe is thrown across the street, the mess the metal block leaves behind is more impressive than anything the crew had ever imagined. Escape from the plane in Fast & Furious 6 (2013): During the sequence, Dom and his team try to stop Shaw’s plan to escape by plane, however, at the last minute, the plane catches fire in while Dom was still stuck inside. Then, the plane collided and exploded, burning in the sky at the same time Dom’s car rushed out. The car then flipped several times, leaving the rest of the group stunned, worried about the leader’s fate. Finally, from the midst of the burning ruins, Dom appeared, head to toe intact. According to aeronautical engineers, despite being on fire, the plane’s head is still extremely tough. Therefore, if you drive into it to find a way to escape, Dom and his car will only be a pile of scrap metal. In addition, the plane and convoy raced over the runway during the 13 minutes of the chase. This means that this is definitely the longest runway in the world. Fans have relatively simulated the parameters in the scene, and estimated the length of the runway to be more than 30 km. Letty’s rescue on the bridge in Fast & Furious 6: In the action sequence, Shaw’s tank (Luke Evans) is crushing Roman’s (Tyrese Gibson) car when Brian appears and rescues his partner in a tight way. hair. Before abandoning the vehicle, Roman used a cable to tie his vehicle to Shaw’s tank. Brian then pushed the body of the car down the cliff between the two bridge lanes to obstruct Shaw. Shaw realized the potential danger and asked Letty – who had lost his memory – to climb out of the tank to untie the cable connecting the wreck that was dangling over the cliff and the tank. Dom, now on the opposite side of the bridge, spotted Letty outside the tank, also climbing out of the vehicle he was driving. The tank then hit the bridge railing, sending Letty into the air. At the same time, Dom also crashed his car into the railing, and flew up like a superhero, catching Letty in the middle with ease. They flew to the other side of the bridge, falling onto the hood of a car. In a situation where everyone should have died, because it was Fast & Furious, they all survived unscathed. Escape from the edge of the cliff in Fast & Furious 7 (2015): In the movie scene, Brian and the villain both escape from the overturned car and are drifting towards the cliff. The villain escaped, trapping Brian in a car that was now halfway to the edge of the cliff. The actor climbed out of the car, just as it began to drift down. In the final scene, Brian sprints along the body of the car towards the road, while the whole car is rapidly falling. But Brian couldn’t escape in time. His final jump was too far from the edge of the cliff. At that moment, however, Letty was already driving around the edge of the cliff, just barely providing Brian with a grip. The most impressive thing, this is a real shot without CGI but only stuntmen and protective cables. The ambulance crash in Fast & Furious 7: Shaw (Jason Statham) and his men attacked Letty’s car carrying hacker Ramsey with a weaponized drone system, narrowly hitting them at the entrance to the tunnel. . When the girls were still struggling to find a way out, Hobbs appeared, drove the ambulance down from the bridge, crashing into the killer robot as soon as it emerged from the other hatch. The scene is absurd and wacky on many levels: Hobbs’ skill in tracking, the character’s miraculous survival after the crash that caused the ambulance to explode, and most of all, his precise watchmanship. both the time and place to hit the car with the robot. Fast & Furious 7: While on a mission to steal a hard drive in Abu Dhabi, Dom and his partner were attacked by Deckard Shaw. Dom and Brian stole the car on display to escape. The two drove the car through the glass wall, crashing into the air at a height of hundreds of meters before crashing through the next building. The car with the broken brakes continued to crash into a third building before free-falling and shattering. The scene of the movie “flying car” was made using computer graphics technology. However, the manufacturer still wants a real scene with the supercar being filmed. Since the Lykan HyperSports car in the scene was only produced in seven versions worldwide, and each cost up to $3.4 million, a highly accurate simulation was built. The replica was used to capture the scene of the car falling apart at the end of the sequence. Survive a submarine explosion in The Fate of the Furious (2017): The final battle takes place in the middle of a vast sea of ​​ice. A tracking missile was fired from the submarine and aimed at Dom. He split the group, making sure his associates were safe, before deftly driving past the ship, causing the rocket to crash into it. However, the flight was not accurate, and the rocket explosion caused Dom to be thrown from the car. Then it was the ship’s turn to explode. The partners drove the car to form a shield for Dom from the firestorm. Everyone left alive. To fully enjoy the sequence, it is necessary to ignore a lot of scientific knowledge. At first, Dom played catch with a rocket by driving a normal car on ice without any difficulty. Second, he (continued) escaped the explosion, was thrown from the car and hit by the hard ice without sustaining any serious injuries. In addition, the scene of teammates driving to form a shield, although touching, is in fact no different from suicide if it is really a big fire like what the film depicts.
