Fast Five Pulled Off The Greatest REAL Stunt In History

Fast and the Furious movies push the envelope in so many different ways. With each new installment they get faster, and even more furious. But in Fast 5, they take their practical stunts. to a whole new level. Dragging an actual bank vault through the streets!

The worst thing a stunt person can do is get injured and not look good doing it. Because not only are you injured, the director's going to want you to do another take assuming you're able.

I can't believe they allowed extras to run around the building as the vault destroyed it. And I really cannot believe an actual person was in the cop car on the bridge and actually had to duck under the wire to avoid being decapitated. That is insanity. I've seen Fast Five probably 6 or 7 times and the sequence never gets old. I love the whole series. It has so many different atmosphere's and even genres. From pure street race/car culture in the beginning to cheesy 80's drug film to the higher quality heist films later on. 5 is probably the best. Followed by 6 and 7. 8 was not my favorite. It was a dip in quality and suffered greatly from Paul being gone. Looking forward to seeing how 9 turned out. It's also amazing how the series revived itself. They did well with the 1st, nothing special but enjoyable. Then 2 got pretty bad and Tokyo Drift is just awful in my opinion. Then in 4 they finally started to right the ship, perfected it in 5 and grew it from there.

The vault has no play on the physics as the cable isn't fully extended when the charger hits the brakes and the vault is moving in a straight line so it's just the driver having to make a simple handbrake turn at 20-40 mph to get out of the way and has more than enough room with 3 lanes to not run into the opposite wall.

Tsundere snob

[@mbnhiphopmusik6429]

There is but one issue: The following ones have some equally crazy stunts, but those are sometimes if not even often not practically done.

I've always loved this scene and thought this looks so good it could be real. Lmao. Now I know it is

[@King-ci8sk]

Cool! I remember being really impressed with this scene first watch. Love seeing how it was done

[@zacharywindover9840]

This was very interesting , u earned a sub. Shame they don’t still do real stunts with this level of dedication.

[@chrisre9847]

The stunt work on this movie was definitely amazing -b ut there was also a fair amount of CG involved in these shots.. for various reasons. They had different version of the vault for different purposes. Most of the times you see them pull the vault through the city it was the "drivable version" with a driver inside, looking out a small grid window. The pulling cables were much thicker and were later in postproduction painted out and replaced by the shiny cg-wires we see. Another version of the vault had wheels under it as it would otherwise scratch up the whole road. Those wheels were also removed in post and a section added to remove the gap. Sure, they crashed that vault into that building, but there were never people inside. It was a double take and composed together, adding effects. A lot of savety measures on set that were set up like barriers, extra cables and so on were removed later. So of course, many things were done "for real", but that does not mean that someone pulled a real vault thru the Streets of Rio.. oh btw, thses scenes were not filmed in Rio either. But all of that does not take away from the fact that the scenes were well choreographed, planned, and executed with a huge amount of amazing people. The result is an emersive action movie that is just as fun to watch as it was to make. The fact they shot it "In Camera" instead of overly using CG is why it looks so good. Source? I was part of the vfx team and worked on some of the shown scenes doing paint work and set extensions.

[@groundcontrol6876]

Thank you. I'm pretty sure that that was shot in Hato Rey (a part of the San Juan pueblo in Puerto Rico). San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico.

[@RP-16]

“If we keep it real” Ahh yes because the new fast films keep it real.

[@thomaspanditfan2435]

Pretty sure they still do a lot of practical stunts. They do whatever practical they can do. Even in the building jump scene there were practical.

[@RP-16]

@@thomaspanditfan2435 I saw F9 and this one throws all logic out the window. They’re basically super hero’s now.

Incredible!!! This was my favorite of the franchise and now knowing this sequence was REAL practical effects and not just 2 tons of CGI?! 😊

[@AxisCorpsRep]

this is pinnacle F&F, after that it went a little too over the top. and then we have 7 and beyond

[@Dia1Up]

This is one of the best parts in an action movie, however the camera work actually makes it really difficult to tell what is going on. Takes away from the awe of the whole scene

[@rorschacht8478]

That's FF for you. they have like 30 cuts per second.

[@TheDarkBrethren]

Thanks for highlighting this all! I genuinely thought most of this had to be CGI...but I'm now pleasantly surprised and will enjoy watching the film again knowing all the hard work that went in!

[@ragingfred]

Practical Stunt technology is so advanced that people can no longer distinguish it from CGI.

[@johnnyrivas2619]

This scene deserves mention as one of the greatest action sequences in film history. The stakes, the thrills, the fun were all dialed up to 11.

[@TheSpawnAngel]

Hands down the stupidest scene in any action movie ever... I know that action movies must not priorities to be realistic, but this scene is so far from any realism that is absurd. I admire the effort of the stunt actors, the special effect designers and so on, but the idea itself is retarded.

[@Just_Tyree]

In that exact scene with Tom Cruise he ended up just missing the jump and broke his foot i think it was

[@mustang8206]

It honestly blows my mind to learn all about the real scenes in the Fast franchise

”The film still has that connection to reality” ... eeh 👁👄👁

Cities do exist, so you can say it's "based on a true story".

I mean, they did it. So it does.

Fast 5 was the last good ol’ fashion fast and furious movie

[@sebastianzamott3063]

This scene was actually filmed in Puerto Rico, I’d imagine it’s easier logistically because it’s a US territory

[@arnaldo8681]

They would also probably have trouble getting permission to film those things in rio

[@sanikku7359]

From Puerto Rico here, alot of scenes in the movie were definetely recorded there. my dad and i would ocasionally show up to the recording, usually distant as we werent allowed to go up close due to the fact we would show up uninvited but a small island has alot of people knowing eachother so word got around when and where filming was happening. We just showed up because we thought it was cool, and my father even ended up being one of the pedestrians in this scene but i don't think his apperance made the final cut (or was just simply offscreen, i wasn't there too so he could've been lying to me also) I also learned Puerto Rico has favela looking places when this movie was being recorded, something i never knew due to being from the main urban area (Toa Alta). Still, one of the most memorable times of my childhood.

[@DavidNakkila]

[@philnewton-england7795]

And even more amazing - they've now added Jason Mamoa into some of those scenes for FAST X.

Ill never forget all the heavy traffic I took on Puerto Rico thanks to this movie!!! I was mad but happy at the same time, hey was cool to see all the smashed cars 🙂
