Are you ready to take crazy to a whole ‘nother level? If so, then the Fast & Furious 7 trailer has your back. With the second, full-length trailer for the film now online, it makes this past weekend’s Super Bowl spot look like an aperitif.
**Furious 7 **(as it’s known in the States, where apparently there’s no longer enough time to say the whole title, making us wonder if the potential next outing will just be called F8) finds Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto and his team looking forward to possibly a quieter life now they’ve taken down Luke Evans' Owen Shaw. But there’s a small problem, as anyone who watched the final sting on the sixth film knows: Shaw’s older brother (Jason Statham) is out for revenge. And the former special forces nightmare has the hardware to seriously threaten the gear-head gang, detonating the Toretto family home as his calling card.
Soon, Dom and the crew are in a whole new world of trouble, helped out by Kurt Russell’s military type and trying to find a way to take the fight to Shaw. But how do you combat a man who has the skills to sideline even Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), leaving everyone’s favourite thunderwear-toting man mountain in the hospital? The answer appears to be even crazier schemes and stunts than ever before, including dropping cars out of transport planes and jumping a snazzy vehicle between skyscrapers in Abu Dhabi. And those are just two of the typically OTT moments on show here.
With Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black all back in action alongside the late Paul Walker, the seventh film boasts the services of Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and even warbler Iggy Azalea. It races into UK cinemas on April 3.
