With a film that’s got such high expectations behind it and such a massive budget, it can be tempting to lean more and more heavily on the CGI-action sequences rather than hire stunt doubles and block up traffic for days at a time. Don’t do that, please, because computer-generated action is fine for Marvel, but the draw of a good Furious movie is real explosions and the light hint of real danger. Knowing that they took the time to actually run that tank over random passenger cars really means something, you know?
