There's an article at AVClub on how much VFX they had to do for Paul Walker with the exact scenes. I was sure about the couple the end but for most of the others, I had no idea.

I'm actually sorta surprised that the finale pieces to a number of the action sequences turned out to be VFX. Although I guess it's not super surprising that a couple of the last detail moments needed to be added later when doing a shooting schedule. Also would not have guessed them chillin at the beach in Dubai would have been CG either.

A lot of them are p obvious in the film, although I think they did a really stellar job of making it look as natural as possible.

Some of those you would never tell it's not real, like is the scene in the garage with Mia completely fake Paul? Pretty amazing really.

F&F3K. In the year 3018 crazy future robo humans resurrect Dominic and Hobbs and Ludacris and all the other guys when a gang of space pirates stake out the Milky Way shipping lanes. If it's not too tacky and we're all over it by then: Make a C3PO sort of character with a TV screen for a head that only communicates by playing Paul Walker clips from the previous films.

This is a tangent but I don't get this. There are three, maybe four super hero things every year. And if everyone who expressed this sentiment stopped going to them, they'd probably make less money and stop being made even that often.

Also I've got some bad news for you: the F&F movies have basically been super hero movies since 5.

But the Fast movies are superheroes movies that comic book geeks hate, so they're fine.

The sentiment makes sense when you realize that they take over so many tentpole/blockbuster releases. Every slot that would be taken by an Independence Day or a Minority Report (as examples) are now superhero films. This year is kind of different since we get Star Wars and Jurassic World to break things up, with no DC, but that's the issue people are having.

Fast and the Furious already is a superhero movie, though, yes.

The buildup to each F&F movie also has less bullshit clogging up my news feed.

I'm sick of hearing every little detail for every MCU, x-men, DC, Star Wars, Hunger Games movie become daily entertainment news as if I had infinite money and goodwill for every recognizable brand. I could stomach these movies better if people didn't report on every casting tidbit. Then the official announcement. Then the leaked set photo. And then the official release photos. And the poster. And then teaser trailer. And a TV spot. And then a racial backlash. And then people calling out that backlash. And then the full trailer. And people picking apart every shot in the trailer. And then people speculating on the post-credits scene once the movie comes out.

I remember when this process used to be mildly fun, but it just seems so cynical and predictable now. This cycle is numbing enough that I'm complaining even though many of these movies end up not being terrible.

If people talked about the next Fast movie the same way they talked about the Force Awakens, I probably would feel more sick of fast cars and family sentimentality. Fortunately comic book nerds and bloggers still think they're better than a dumb movie franchise about vroom vroom, so the fatigue isn't kicking in. Bring on Fast 8.

I saw some people describe it as cashing in. Which suggests they don't know what that means. It was as classy and appropriate a send up as I think the medium is capable of. It was a great scene. A teenage girl cried, her friend made fun of her, but started crying halfway through doing so. It was sweet
