The seventh film in the “Fast and Furious” franchise hit the cinemas worldwide on the 3rd of April 2015. Expectedly, it was filled high-octane, adrenaline rushing scenes and death-defying car manoeuvres.
Apart from the excitement, most movie goers said a word or two about the late Paul Walker, who plays Brian O’Connor – a former cop turned road racer – in the movie. Paul Walker died in 2013 in a car crash before the movie was finished.
Here are some of the tributes on social media to the star…
Best memory I have while filming was being w/ Paul on set our last night together. We always laughed. Miss that man. #AskFurious7 @whosluka
