The “plane drop” sequence in Furious 7 – where Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew/family all go sky-diving in their vehicles of preference – has been featured heavily throughout the film’s marketing campaign to date. Today, we can offer a behind the scenes look at what was required to pull that stunt off – a task that made use of a real plane, real cars, and a team of sky-diving stuntmen putting their lives on the line, among other things.

With fans starving for more, “Furious 7” director James Wan and the producers once again came to Razatos to take on the franchise’s most insane sequence yet. They called it the “air drop.”

Fast & Furious 7 – Behind the Scenes Plane Drop:

The idea was to have a sequence in the film with Dom and company in their souped-up cars drop from a plane high above Colorado and parachute into the mountains below.
“When I first read [the script] it was, ‘cars drop and they kidnap this girl and they get away on the road,’ that was it,” Razatos recalls. “I said let’s really go for it and make the effort because I want this whole sequence to feel real, that’s what the audience expects,” he added.

As a new report shows, for all the cars damaged in the filming of Furious 7—230 in total—almost all were unceremoniously crunched into the world’s most expensive cube of metal scraps. As Furious 7’s Richard Jansen revealed, he ordered all of Furious 7’s damaged cars to be smashed beyond repair, so that people wouldn’t try to salvage and then potentially harm themselves in them. Of the drawn-and-quartered cars included several black Mercedes Benzes, A Ford Crown Victoria, and a Mitsubishi Montero.

“It was kind of unusual, to see some relatively late-model Mercedes-Benzes, all crunched up and good for nothing,” Jansen told The Wall Street Journal.’

Furious 7 Showed it’s Stamina at Box Office:

The four days nett box office earnings of “Furious 7” stands at ₹58 crore, while gross total stands at ₹81 crore. 6 Days net India total now stands at 62.70 crores at the Box Office.

That would easily give “Furious 7” the highest-grossing opening weekend in April, surpassing 2014’s $95 million opening of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” Look at the box-office numbers for “Fast and Furious 6” and its not difficult to make that case. The 2013 film made $788 million worldwide ($238 million domestic vs. $550 million overseas).
