March 13, 2015 – When we first watched the Furious 7 trailer scene where cars parachute out of an airplane, we thought it was CGI or green screen magic, but as it turned out, the movie’s directors actually threw the cars out of the plane.
The producers showed us the whole process by releasing a new behind-the-scenes video of the crazy stunt, in which the cars reversed out of the back of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules airplane.
Stunt coordinators Andy and Jack Gill revealed that the stunt was initiated at a 3600-meter altitude, with the parachutes opening at 1500 meters.
