30:52 “ That Kinda Reminds Me Of The Ong-Bak Warrior” 😅
Does Holden That’s Him? That’s Tony Jaa 😂
Cellular is a really decent flick with Statham as the villain, really enjoyed that one and Willaim H. Macy's character. Also, Ghosts of Mars which no one should talk about ever again.
For someone who grew up loving Paul Walker, the ending makes me cry every single time. Love him in this franchise and many more projects like Joy Ride and Pleasantville. He was truly a a pure soul. I miss him to this day.
Point break
he was my childhood idol and hero
My understanding was Paul's character Brian was originally intended to be the central character of this movie. He was kinda sidelined in F6, so F7 was supposed to be his movie. Those plans had to be jettisoned when he died, so production had to be suspended indefinitely while they rewrote the movie.
Incidentally, Tyrese Gibson took Paul's death incredibly hard. I think they had built a particularly strong friendship in real life dating back to 2F2F.
That Theory is thrown out the window as they had already shot 75/85% of the film before that fateful day in November.
They delayed the restart to come up with an ending that would honour Paul and move the franchise forward.
@@MikeWilsonBarrett IMDB said Walker had filmed roughly half of his scenes at the time of his death. The movie was originally planned for a July 2014 release, but that got bumped to April 2015 to allow enough time for everyone to grieve and move forward with rewriting the script.
@@lightsabermetrics It was only the final scenes they didn't shoot. Paul's final scene was when rescuing Dom from the car after the parking level crash. Everything after that was filmed with Cody and body doubles.
@@MikeWilsonBarrettNot true. Movies are not shot continuously. Scenes in the very beginning of the filmed could be shot at the end of filming, there’s no linear timetable for what scenes are shot. There are obvious scenes in the film that don’t include Paul as Brian (even before that end scene), such as the house explosion scene, 80% of all Abu Dhabi scenes, the Tony Jaa rematch, etc. Paul was replaced in a LOT of the scenes shot in this film, not just the final scene.
@@MikeWilsonBarrett Paul’s final scene he ever filmed is unknown. But like you said the rescuing Dom scene and Letty’s memory comin’ back was the final scene featuring Paul based on how the film was put together. But there was more scenes filmed with Cody, Caleb, and Paul’s doubles than you think 🤷🏾♂️ and then the scenes featuring Paul’s face reused from old “Furious” films was his doubles I think 🤔 I could be wrong on that part tho but I do know Paul wasn’t physically in those scenes either 🤷🏾♂️
I remember grown men sobbing out loud in the theatre toward the end.
I was one of those grown men haha , series died for me after this one tho
NO I DIDN'T ! you take that back
No shame
I don’t blame them, I’ve teared up everytime I’ve seen the tribute
That was 100% me. Crazy that you were in my theater.
The Corona shots in this franchise aren’t sponsored. After becoming synonymous with Corona, the studio attempted to get a sponsorship deal, but it never happened. Rather than never use it again, filmmakers decided it’d be funny if they made it look more and more like product placement since audiences were already convinced it was.
The scene in Fast 1 where Toretto describes the death of his dad is pretty much word for word what happened to Paul and his Friend . His friends son and Pauls friend were trying to pull them out of the burning car which is exactly the story Toretto told Brain about his fathers death ...... creepy as hell whenever I watch Fast 1
Saw this movie in the theaters and when that last title card “For Paul”showed up, I started to tear up a bit and the whole theater stood up and clapped for Paul walker. He made me love cars and get into them, RIP Paul Walker and thank you for making the whole car community love you.
Same here...👏🥲
This was my first time actually getting teary eyed in a movie theater. Me and my wife. Having gone to the theaters to watch every movie since the first. It was pretty emotional...the perfect ending for Paul, his character, and for the franchise, if they wanted. I enjoy the newer films, but they are missing Paul badly.
I was in 8th grade when I first heard Paul Walker was in the car crash. I thought nothing of it, “Oh no, hope he’s okay.” 5 minutes after, found out he was dead. One of my favorite actors of all time and it broke my heart, I wanted him to play Barry Allen as the Flash. Maybe in another lifetime.
R.I.P. Paul ❤️
Paul Walker as "The Flash?"🤔Well, anybody would have been better than Ezra Miller...👎
@@tomhoffman4330 That’s a fact 😂 Paul was just my personal pick back when I was a wee lad.
This movie could’ve been such a perfect finale for the series. I know it was their plan to keep going but you can tell it ain’t the same after this movie. The ending scene absolutely killed me at the end but it was just an all around great movie
Yep. I agree. There was no more of a perfect send-off to be done. The latest movies are entertaining, but are leaning on Vin to carry it way too much.
I agree, I was reluctant about Fast 8 when it came out thinking they could have just ended it here. But I feel like 8 turned out WAY better than people give it credit for, it was a fun storyline trying to figure out why Dom was...doing what he was doing (don't want to spoil it) and Charlize Theron ended up being a fantastic villain. Fast 9 is the first one that felt off to me (haven't seen 10 yet).
They kept goin’ ‘cause Paul was the one who requested more Furious movies before he died. 8 years after his last Furious appearance, we still here and Luda said another one’s comin’ so the last one must’ve been CRAZY 🔥
@TheViper4Life I don't know why people love fast 8 so much. It made me stop after this and I only watched fast 9 because I had to see if it was as ridiculous as all the memes made it out to be and I'm glad I stopped after 8 because it's too stupid for me at this point when this could've been the perfect ending. Now it's just a cash grab people keep feeling but complain about.
Lol I giggled when Holden said "that guy reminds me of the Ong Bak warrior"
Of course he does Holden, it's Tony jaa the ong bak warrior
was just about to say that lol
The saddest part of this movie is at 26:15 in the video. That phone call conversation between the two of them. Paul recorded his part before he passed away. Jordana had to record her part after he passed. So hearing the things he was saying to her even tho it was character to character the fact that he didn’t come home or didn’t make it must’ve been so hard for her to do that scene.
I also found out that Jordana and Paul they liked each other and that came to light a lot more when filming 7 and that she was going to tell him because she knew he felt the same way but he died before she could.
I am LOVING these quick F&F uploads!
I will never not tear up at the ending of this movie. The emotions from cast members, Vin’s monologue, the music. Gets me everytime.
A side note, I’d love for you guys to do Hobbs & Shaw. It’s definitely just an in-universe action comedy movie.
After the opening weekend of Fast and Furious 6, Furious 7 was announced for release in summer 2014.
I was excited about James Wan as director, plot details, adding cast members and then some.
Paul Walker had made 5 films at this point with 4 coming out in 2013.
Walker turned 40, later that summer.
On Thanksgiving weekend, the cast & crew were taking holiday break from filming F7.
Hearing about his passing was as shocking as anyone could imagine.
We were all mourning for Pablo like he really was family.
As fans, the love was stronger than ever and beyond just character.
Saw it opening day in IMAX and it was the largest worldwide rollout of the format itself among many other records broken.
Everything at all levels and as much as expected.
Reconnecting with the 3rd film while moving forward was a job well done.
It's cultural impact was even more unstoppable and the naysayers were hardly heard.
The soundtrack was fire and of course, See You Again by Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth
became one of the biggest records of the year.
Until the release for Avengers:Age of Ultron, F7 was the No.1 movie in the world.
Grossing over $1 billion worldwide and making The Fast Saga, Universal Pictures' biggest franchise ever.
pablo
Also giving Tony Jaa (Ong Bak) his American film debut.
thats sad.
such a trash movie like F7 get so much attention while real good movies flop.
abd whats makes me really sad. ..... sorry i have tears in my eyes.... marvel movies get even more views.
I remember being quite young when this movie came out and I had not experienced loss at that point. Somehow I felt horrible sadness but at the some closure thanks to the ending of the movie. And I felt all of these emotions towards an actor that I only new from an action movie franchise... that's what Paul Walker was capable of. Still to this day I tear up when I watch that scene and really is sad that people like him are taken away way too early. RIP ❤
I can’t tell you how hard I cried at the end, Paul was a role model for me back then, he was such a good person and dad, he was instantly my favorite character in Fast And Furious 1
In 2013 The Philippines was hit by Typhoon Haiyan. It was the most powerful tropical cyclone ever recorded in human history. It basically erased everything in its path leaving 6,300 people dead. Paul Walker died leaving a fund raising event with his Reach Out Worldwide for the Philippines. Even in his last moments his legendary generosity and dedication was in full effect.
This movie came out in 2015 when i graduated highschool. It was the last song that played before they ended Prom night. And i havnt seen the majority of my classmates since that day. But a lot of us huddled in a circle and sang along to this song. It was really touching. R.i.p. Paul Walker ❤
Jason Statham is one of my favorite action stars. He’s great in this. The chemistry between him and Dwayne Johnson was so good they got their own movie “Hobbs and Shaw.” You definitely need to add that to the list!
Forgot all about Tony Jaa (from Ong Bak) being in this movie. Love his stunt work. I know for sure the final shot of them driving off together was a facial swap. It was Paul Walker's brother's body with Paul's face. The ending still gets me every time.
The scene where mia talks to brian about not saying goob bye like that was filmed after pauls death, so emotions where raw.
I graduated from HS in 2015. And not only was "See You Again" the biggest song of the year, but it was the anthem for everyone's grad and going away parties. What perfect time.
Paul Walker was the first celebrity I was enthralled by. From “Eight Below” (Another movie you should watch) to the “Fast and Furous” franchise, and even “Takers.” I remember being in complete shock and denial when the news of his death first broke. I spent that whole day watching the Charity Event footage over and over, as well as binging my favourite movies of his.
The scene with him and Mia on the phone is what first broke me while watching this. Then of course, the Ending Tribute
This movie has probably some of the best CG digital faces and face replacement tech in the industry. There's shots that are a CG replacement you would never realize were CG until a breakdown (there's also scenes that are CG that are clear, but it's still very good). It also helps his two brothers look so close to Paul.
RIP Paul, what an unfortunate tragedy, especially when he was at charity function and wasn't driving.
For the time of filming, I thought they did a really good job with Oliver Reed in Gladiator. It's clear given more time, that it would have been impossible to tell, but it was early 2000s, and it still is quite good. Here like you said, I think it really helps that it's a relative with some facial resemblance and what not. Cool they were able to get it done and make it look believable in most every scene.
I could tell back in the theater when it was CGI. Guess I got a good eye.
That ending scene with Paul Walker will always make me tear up
Yes the Lykan Hypersport car really exists. I researched it a couple years back. From the website: "With only 7 units in existence, the Lykan HyperSport is one of the most exclusive cars on the planet. If that is not enough, the Lykan features the world’s first holographic mid-air display with interactive motion control and it has 440 diamonds lined in the LED headlights."
If you're interested in watching Paul's final two movies here's the name of them.
Hours and Brick Mansion
Here's something to look forward to in Fast X.
Paul's daughter Meadow has a small cameo.
This movie should have been the final fast movie it did a great job wrapping up not only Brian's character up finished the story of part 4-6 and tied in Tokyo Drift into it all. 7 is the last one in my mind.
Please watch Hobbs & Shaw it a good addition to the franchise. The chemistry JS & Rock have together is fantastic. Thanks for the reactions so far it’s been fun.
Rest in Peace Paul, played such an iconic and memorable character in the franchise (apart from Dom and the rest of the crew) and that’s part of the reason this was my favourite Fast and Furious movie. The dedication to Paul at the end almost made me want to cry and they finished off his story so well here! Again, R.I.P Paul, he will always be missed 😢
the hardest line in this movie is when shawn asks dom "when you find him what are u gonna do?" and dom says "Words haven't even been invented yet.." the way he says it is so genuine
Best line!!!
Here we go gonna cry at the end again
I don't think Holden realizes how many scenes of Paul were CG. Example, and you can't even tell, is the part when Brian has his kid with the van in the beginning, entirely CG Paul Walker.
I found out recently that was Cody playin’ Brian in that scene. I knew it was CGI but I thought Cody only did the second fight scene with Kiet in the last mission 🤷🏾♂️
This is a sad fact but the phone call scene between Mia and Brian, Jordana brewster filmed her part after Paul walkers death, thats why its so emotional when she doesnt want to say goodbye.
Fast 5 through 7 is peak franchise fun. 8 has a few fun sequences but is where the series becomes “substandard”. Thank you Paul, we love you ❤
I disagree. Tokyo Drift along with Fast 5 were the franchise peaks imo. Tokyo Drift for how corny but so quotable it is, and 5 for just being really badass.
8 is fun as hell IMO. I would argue 9 and Hobbs and Shaw are the only iffy ones.
Me: The military regularly airdrops vehicles in-
Jen: Is that a SUBARU!?!
🤣
While they don't instantly start driving away, the military do airdrop Humvees in a similar manner.
The beef between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson actually began during the 8th film
The reason why Hobbs was sidelined for most of the film was because, during the initial filming production, Dwayne Johnson was busy filming the Hercules movie. As a result, he wasn’t fully available to be part of this movie. However, as we all know, production ended up getting shut down for several months after Paul Walker died. This allowed Johnson to finish his work on Hercules and become available again when they resumed filming. This led to them rewriting the 3rd act to have Hobbs show up and be more involved in the action
For me 5,6,7 had the best balance of over the top with fun. They actually did the shots of the card parachuting down practically, so what you see is mostly real. Because of that, I can suspend MG disbelief that they could somehow navigate. And the car jumping through buildings is just ridiculous fun.
"Daddy's gotta go to work."
That's quality writing right there lol
Fast Five was definitely the peak of the franchise, the whole bank vault sequence was just banger! 😄🤙🏼
5 6 and 7 those 3 the best imo
R.I.P. Paul, and now Matthew Perry has died at 54. Two of my favorite actors from the 90s and 2000s.
Cellular and Red Eye are 2 movies I love so much that no one ever talks about.. You should definitely get Jen to watch it (or both) if she hasn't seen it.
Red Eye was my introduction to Cillian Murphy. One of Wes Craven’s most underrated films
This is my personal fav of the F and F series. I love this movie to death, except for maybe the final fight. I love its action, humor, vibe 💗
This is definitely my favorite of the franchise. Soo much fun!!
Ridiculously awesome!!
Really mission impossible-y and i think thats another reason why i love it.
it is my unironic, genuine opinion that this movie has the best post-mortum actor send off of any movie or tv show i've ever seen. it was beautiful, respectful, and palpably heartfelt. i cry every single time, and even whenever the song comes on the radio, i inevitably think about paul walker, even before i watched the movies
The moment that The Rock flexes his cast off is one of my go to moments to explain to people who haven’t seen them how awesomely insane they get. “But in Furious 7, The Rock flexes his cast off his broken arm and says ‘Daddy’s gotta go to work’ “
to be fair... they drop tanks and military vheicles from cargoplanes with parachutes so a car isnt "that" far fetched, would the cars survive? doubtful unless they reinforced them
I think fast five is the best. But this one might be my favorite. The chicken fight with the cars. The sword fighting with giant wrenches. Dom stomping and cracking the asphalt. The rock flexing his cast off.
I once heard someone say these movies feel like its made by a little kid playing with action figures and toy cars. And I am so for it. Just good clean fun, ya know?
not ready for this. I actually was at the movies with my cousin and his older brother(my other cousin) and our movie finished and we snuck into my older cousins movie and he was watching thi s. That is how i got into this series and i will love it for the rest of my life.
I grew up on these movies, growing up with just my dad and older brother it was one thing that we could actually enjoy together. I cried my eyes out when Paul died we went to see this In theatre when it came out and that last scene just hurt.
And yes the Lykan hypersport is indeed a real car there’s only 1 left for sale out of the 7 in Dubai for $3mil
22:56 you see if this was MI, that woulda been Tom Cruise actually jumping across with his hyundai.
After watching the whole series and feeling next to no emotion, I was shocked when I started crying at the end. They handled it incredibly well which is wild considering how poorly they generally handle basic dialogue
So some of the Cars out of the plane scene was practical. Took multiple takes put they did pull it off
Fun fact: Holden mentioned that the one fight with Brian reminded him of Ong-Bak. Tony Jaa is the same actor from those movies! Was cool to see him in this franchise even for a little
That Lycan Hypersports car is absolutly a real thing. I remember seing an interview with the producers and they mentiond that this is a country where ppl drive ferraris and bugattis to starbucks so they really needed something super special to stand out that u just couldent se on your average day on the street.
When Paul Walker passed away there were a big movement inside most racing games to the point that ppl hade customized and modded cars to look like the cars from the series and even proper funerals held inside GTA Online with ppl driving decked out cars, police escorts and even a proper black funeral Hearse driving around the city to end its route in a cemetary and ppl massing around a grave.
Dude, best memory of this. I was rewatching all of the movies to get ready for this one and my friend saw me watching the first one and said he thought they were dumb, so I invited him to watch the first one with me. We then ended up watching all six together ‘cause he loved the first and then we saw this one in theaters together. At the end of it, he turned to me and said, “I hate you. You made me care about Paul Walker, and now I’m sad that he’s gone.” He still gets sad when he hears “See You Again” 😂 Aww, good times. I love it. RIP, Paul ❤️
Thats crazy I just found your channel earlier today and binged all your fast reactions and to have you drop this the same day is crazy lmfao especially with this one, this is the one I wanted to watch yall react to the most, with Paul of course, plus the action is mindless fun if you allow it to be and willing to let go of what it used to be. I do love the old ones the most as a car guy but this is what it naturally evolved in to, from the first movie to the last one Paul was in you could see genuine happiness on his face cos he loved making them and before he died him and vin talked about and agreed on making ten, Vin is just staying true to that, which is why, even though the movies got worse over time, I'm glad it was honoured with him trying his best.
A great tribute to a great man
He ran a charity for natural disasters and he would go there personally to help out all around the world, the passion he had for it is incredible, tremendous marvellous man
felt like everyone in the world was listening to see you again, as it stands today it had 6 BILLION views on RUclips ALONE, not to mention radio, spotify and other streaming services, to put that in perspective the worlds population is 8 Billion people
almost the whole world has listened and most playing it for Paul and its well deserved if you ask me.
I don't really Idolise celebrities, but I can see why people Idolise Paul and its well deserved too
If any celebrity is worth idolising its him.
Rest in Peace
Godspeed!
This was the first film in the series I had seen and that ending got me emotional in the theater. Definitely even more touching after I had seen the rest of the series.
"This guy reminded me of the OngBak Warrior". The fact is he is actually the actor that play the main character in Ong-Bak. His name is Tony Jaa, a very famous martial artist/Muay Thai actor.
The rock breaking his cast will never not be funny. Best moment of the movie for me. And then he takes out the drone, rips out the minigun and walks around being a one-man army. Is it ridiculous ? yes ! Does it make me giggle like a moron ? YES !
the scenes with Paul nd Jordana was very genuine, they never got to tell each other but they both had a big crush on each other. Paul since TFATF while Jordana’s started around 4 n 5
There is some lines that really hit in this movie, like when Brian says there is just one more funeral and when Mia tells him over the phone that it sounds like he says goodbye. Also u mentioned Ong-Bak, that is actually Tony Jaa, the lead actor of Ong-bak.
The scene with the cars with the parachutes was actually real to an extent I would look more into it
They actually dropped the cars from the plane. Real stunt. There's a fun behind the scenes about it.
PLEASE WATCH HOBBS & SHAW!
If you’re going to do the whole franchise, it only makes sense to watch every film! You absolutely cannot skip a film, even how ridiculous it could be, if you’re doing a whole franchise.
*ALSO* Hobbs and Shaw can be viewed as a good movie IF you kinda don’t consider it a F&F film lol. It definitely doesn’t feel like one, but you should still check it out as it is apart of the F&F franchise.
Hobbs and shaw was how vin desiel fell out with the rock as he didnt want spin offs of the franchise
I grew up watching Paul and also got to meet him here, he said he was filming an ad or something in 2013. Great guy and Jesus was he good looking. It hit hard when he died for me because he died on the way to a charity event for the Philippines after a devastating typhoon ravaged the country. Even on the day he died, he was trying to help others. The franchise was never the same after he died. Now it's purely a popcorn franchise.
I saw his final photos filmed the day he died, but I thought he was leavin’ the charity event before the crash as far as ik 🤔
As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Movie's
Calvin and Hobbes 😂. That’s where The Rock is a stuffed Tiger.
“this guy reminds me of the Ong Bak warrior” - that’s because it is! Tony Jaa
you should definitely show Jen at least the first Ong Bak film
The fast and the furious becomes the Avengers that's how you have to watch these movies . Then it makes more since.
Did you guys notice Hans name? It's said Han Seoul-Oh at 8:43😂
34:15 Jen says "Calvin and Hobbes" 🤣
This movie holds a special place in my heart cause it was the first time I saw fast and furious as a kid and I loved I’m glad y’all have made it this far
The way Jen said "Is that a Subaru?!" when it flew outta the plane had me crying
Fun Fact about Fast and Furious 7 is that Paul Walkers brother was already replacing his Brian character from the skyscraper heist onwards but I never realised it until i rewatched it a few times and then you realise the CGI face. The end defines gave it away. I think he died when production only had shot 70% of the movie or less and they initially wanted to scrape the movie but to respect his honour they finished the movie with the CGI of Paul Walkers face.
I spend 20 years working on C-130s in the USAF we did cargo drops with GPS guided parachutes that are pretty accurate. We would also airdrop Humvees and other small vehicles.
Best part of the fast franchise reactions from you guys are Holden’s little spicy comments 😂😂
It’s funny how you said that one kick move reminded you of the Ong Bak warrior because that is Tony Jaa who played him
"IS THAT A SUBARU??" Im rolling haha
Nothing will ever top being in the theater watching an absurd action film that literally had a man's life saved by memories to turn around and see everyone in the theater crying at the Paul Walker tribute. Very well done
This was a amazing movie in general and also a emotional one being the last film in the franchise to feature Paul Walker after his passing in 2013. R.I.P. Paul Walker/See You Again…
Jen’s reaction to them reversing out of the plane in their cars 😂
When Paul Walker died the production of this movie went on a four month hiatus, and during that hiatus, Vin Diesel went on to voice Groot for guardians vol.1 and said the whole process of voicing Groot helped him cope and mourn Paul Walker’s death
I can never make it through the ending without a tear.
As somebody who has watched them all, the progression is fun for me... love seeing what they'll do next, where they'll push their little world.
nobody even bats an eye that Toretto somehow retrieved his car from a collapsed cartel smuggling tunnel
Cellulars great Holden. You are literally the first one I've heard mention that movie. Out of all the reactors I watch it was you lol.
I think this was the only Fast and the Furious movie I saw in the cinema because of the Paul Walker thing, and i honestly feel its one of the best Fast and the Furious movies as far as stunts and plot. The ending actually brought damn the entire theater I was in to tears as well, and I thought it was really emotional too
While I do still enjoy the later films but I think this should've been the final one. Paul Walker's death/Brian happy ending aside, the heroes got their freedom, the timeline finally caught up to Tokyo Drift and tying up all the films, the heroes avenged Han's death, Letty got her memories back fully. Maybe I should just treat Fast 8 onwards as a spin-off/sequel series "Chronicles of Dominic Toretto"
EDIT: Plus, the final battle was in LA. That's another fitting ending.
30:57 That's because he is. That's Tony Jaa.
That made me laugh
The ending scene when he's looking at Dom at the stop sign, that's not his brother. That's Paul's face, that's from the Fast Five scene when they were racing the cop cars
legit the only movie ive actually cried in , even in the SADDEST MOVIES i never shed a tear but this one really broke me ... such a tragedy , would of loved to see more projects from him...
it was Fast 8 where the Rock and Vin had issues with each other, not this movie
I remember seeing this at a midnight release in theaters. Everyone at that release went to the car meet outside after the movie and some went on a drive after that. Lots of fancy cars and fun people. No street racing. LOL
They cut production in like October I think to break for the holidays and we're gonna pick back up after the holidays and Paul died during the holiday break. This one is one of my favorites just because it was Paul Walker's last movie
I channeled some cosmic chaos when this film came out.
Happened to catch it on opening day, early afternoon screening, as my friend and I were leaving there was a MASSIVE queue and crowd waiting for an evening screening…
…everyone of course knew Paul walker had passed, so as I was walking out I said to my friend - “I mean I get them killing off Brian, but did they seriously have to kill off Dom as well…!?!?”
Of course a bunch overheard me and had that angry groan like I’d spoiled the film for them…but since we know that’s not what happens, I like to think they were constantly EVEN MORE on the edge of their seats thinking “is this when it happens?” Whenever there were the “fake out” cuts etc.
Evil - kinda
Worth it though
I'll never forget seeing this opening night in the theatre. It felt like EVERYONE was crying.
As for the movie itself i think it suffered a lot because of both the passing of Paul and the issues between vin & dwayne. I'm sure the story was meant to go in a bit of a different direction but they had to rewrite cos of said issues.
I was a 92-R (parachute rigger) in the us army and those parachutes are probably G-11 and G-12s They have a navigation system on the that glides you to the coordinates entered
I remember the night I found out about Paul. I had literally just finished watching Fast 4 when my buddy called and broke the news to me. Then the movie comes out a year and a half later and I'm balling in tears at the beautiful ending. RIP Paul, buddy
