How Did They Pull Off the ‘Furious 7’ Car Drop Scene?

If you watched the most recent trailer for Furious 7, then you’re probably wondering how they shot the cars being launched out of the plane and falling through the sky. The logistics of pulling off the complicated sequence are revealed in this new featurette from the Universal Pictures release.

The stunt team and aerial photographers discuss how they staged the scene and how difficult it was to work with cars that shifted positions and speeds as they plummeted to the ground.

Furious 7 was directed by James Wan and stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Elsa Pataky, Lucas Black, Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, and Ronda Rousey. Universal will open the film in theaters on April 3, 2015.
