Video: Driving class cars out of a plane could only happen in the new extended trailer for Furious 7

A slow-paced period drama this is not

That’s actual cars out of an actual plane. Looks class, mind.

A Fast and Furious movie is a lot like a can of Ronseal; it does exactly what is says on the tin.

So while there’s nothing exactly revolutionary about the latest addition to the franchise, we wouldn’t expect it any other way.

All we’re looking for is fast cars, a lot of action and as much of The Rock and Vin Diesel as possible. Oh, and sexy dames and plenty of them.

Judging by the latest extended trailer, Furious 7 delivers all of the above in spades.

The latest flick sees Dominic Toretto and his team looking to live a quieter life after the events in London with Owen Shaw, but with Shaw’s older brother (Jason Statham) out for revenge, that’s probably not going to happen.

It’s also a little poignant seeing the late Paul Walker in the role that made him famous and hopefully Furious 7 will end up being a fitting tribute to his memory.

Furious 7 hits cinemas in Ireland on April 3.
