Actor Paul Walker, who played Brian O'Conner, tragically died in a car accident during a break from filming the movie.
Following Paul Walker's death, the production of Furious 7 was temporarily suspended to mourn and restructure the film.
Filming of Furious 7 resumed with the use of Paul Walker's brothers as stand-ins and visual effects to complete his scenes.
Furious 7 was released in theaters worldwide, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 2015.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
