Sometimes, in a movie, one sees stunts that may or may not be physically possible, but you suspend your belief in those sorts of reality-based systems to simply enjoy what’s being accomplished on screen.
In a film like Furious 7, which isn’t a fantasy or sci-fi title, you’d think that there’s at least some semblance of real physical forces like gravity and wind that the production team would take into account, because these are cars we’re talking about here, not magical space chariots from a time long forgotten and bereft of any ties to that which binds us mere mortals in our mundane daily existence on this blue pebble called Earth.
There are great heights one must clamber to in order to impress in the theater nowadays, and apparently when you’re up in the clouds that high when writing something like Furious 7, gravity, wind, and physics take a backseat and definitely don’t even use their seatbelts either.
Oh well. Now, where’s that parachute I bought for my Camaro SS?
Thanks to Cinema Blend for taking our heads out of the clouds.
