The upcoming _Furious 7_, which hits theaters on April 3, is no exception. The film sees gearheads played by Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and the late Paul Walker (who was killed during the a break from the film’s shoot in 2013) travel all over the world in pursuit of lethal assassin (played by Jason Statham) who has a vendetta against them. In one of the film’s most jaw-dropping sequences the crew parachutes into a remote mountain region in Azerbaijan — all while sitting in their souped-up cars. So just how did the makers of _Furious 7_ manage to film five cars falling from an aircraft at 12,000 feet? Very carefully. Watch the video above for a break down of the making of the scene. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3766716/fast-and-furious-7-best-scene/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3766716/fast-and-furious-7-best-scene/"},"headline":"Watch How the Makers of Furious 7 Created the Best Scenes of the Series","datePublished":"2015-04-01T10:08:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T05:36:21.170Z","description":"'It was one of the most exciting moments I've had in my life — ever'","url":"https://time.com/3766716/fast-and-furious-7-best-scene/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc53bbf7a8edb65a6/6987861a3c16399901452801/furious-7-car-plane-scene.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc53bbf7a8edb65a6/6987861a3c16399901452801/furious-7-car-plane-scene.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Furious 7 Car Plane Scene","caption":"Furious 7 Car Plane Scene","creditText":"Dave J Hogan—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3766716/fast-and-furious-7-best-scene/","name":"Watch How the Makers of Furious 7 Created the Best Scenes of the Series"}}]}] ```
