The ONLY reason I saw Furious 7 was for Paul Walker, I fully expected it to be a hyper-unrealistic movie with ridiculous explosions and car crashes and stunts to make it action packed to counter a boring plot and I was right. I'm sure they'll come up with F&F 8-12 before they say "know what? I think we're good, shut it down." Spoilers below if you've seen it.

Just some of the weird things they got away with.

you know how they get away with it?.....

because it's a movie lol

it's entertaining so who really cares if it's not super realistic. I go for the fun factor and the love of the series. I've grown up with the FF series and the PW tribute was actually hard to sit through for me. which is weird because I really don't give 2 fucks about any celebrities but this is different.

also what should have bothered you wasn't the Rock ripping a mini-gun with no ammo or power but the fact Paul keeps shifting a GT-R with the stick in 2 movies now.....and not the paddles. there's where your realism meter should go off lol

It's the special edition midnight Opel. Only one in existence with a stick shift dual-clutch auto.

For real though. I was 19 when the first came out. Been a long-time fan of Paul Walker and not just because of the movies but because he was a genuinely good person and inspired millions. Never became arrogant and actually raced. His passion was the same on and off the big screen. Wish there were more like that guy.

As for the movie, I wasn't horribly emotional at the end. Just thought the send off was a rather spiritual one. Fitting. I was much more moved at the end of FF6 and the memorial thing they did there. But anyway. It's a movie. It was funny as hell and I loved the stunts and crazy ****. Never seems to disappoint.

The guy was "a real person" and he did more than acting and racing. He was a big supporter and advocate of shark protection programs and the studying of them for the benefit of humans and sharks as well. I remember last year on the Discovery channel, there was a documentary of him as he was taking part (by the time he died) of an operation to tag and study shark behaviors. He went out to the ocean many times but never wanted to be in front of the cameras. He wanted to do what he had to do out there in the ocean but without the recognition of being Paul Walker.
