Staggered by how much of the effects in Furious 7 were practical...

I’m not sure if the video is going to start at the time stamp I set, but if it doesn’t, skip to 17:00.

That trailer slide looked like it was all driver.

The rest of the video shows more but the editing is scattered. And hey! They actually threw cars out of planes!

And no, the trailer is RCed, probably a radio controlled hydraulic thingy with wheels under the actual wheels of the trailer that put him sideways and bring it back at will... The driver of the truck has nothing else to do other than drive straight. It’s physically impossible to keep a trailer sideways like this, not to mention that it’s physically impossible to get it sideways without some serious wheeling from the truck itself. Not to mention the total lack of smoke.

Agreed, I think wheels at 45 degrees to the direction of travel pop down for the slide, and pop back up to straighten the trailer (when they disengage, the truck’s tires start smoking)
