See how the cars from "Furious 7" skydived out of a cargo plane

Hollywood movies are teeming with stunts, many of them faked by green-screen trickery. If you saw the trailer for upcoming movie "Furious 7," where the stars drove their parachute-equipped cars out of a C130 cargo plane, you'd presume the devious boffins and their clever computers did it again.

Not so. The scene is actually real.

Of course, there is a smidgen of CGI, mostly eliminating the surrounding men skydiving with giant cameras strapped to their heads. And the stars from the latest "Fast and Furious" flick were not really strapped behind the wheel as they dropped, because that might be a bit too terrifying to act all tough.

But as you can see in the video, the cars did legitimately skydive 12,000 ft. out of a plane. The main parachutes didn't open until 5,000 ft., and the team directing the stunt talk about the difficulty in ensuring the vehicles drop at precisely the correct spot. After all, you don't want to be liable for dropping Vin Diesel's '69 Charger on some old lady's vegetable patch.
