Its sad  to hear     .      they have the video footage of the scene  on youtube as well

The audio on that video is so odd, just listen to the guy...
Was that a cop they where talking to?

Sounds to me like after they exit the car and run up the street they come upon a women talking with 911.

Like I said in the other thread started about this.

Its unfortunately this situation didn't end the way it would have in the role he depicted on the big screen......In this version reality occurred and he didn't escape - as it happens in these situation most times in real life.

RIP Paul Walker...

Very sad indeed!   He certainly went out Fast and Furious . . . . To bad he was a passenger and not in control.

That is pretty depressing, i'm probably 1 of maybe 2 people here that actually loved the F&F movies, thats what i know him from 

You're not the only one man; I have a custom made Fast & Furious shirt that I always wore together with driving the Charger to every 'Fast premiere. 

What gets me is how this Hollywood boy was anything but that; I hear he was constantly engaged in charitable causes and was on his way to one when the crash occured.  Friends and co-stars claim that he was genuinely laid back and a good person; why does some someone like this have to die so soon?

Double post...

That's what always came across when I watched him in a interview he looked like he was just a casual laid back regular guy. Makes a guy wonder why the Reaper never found Justin Bieber in his Lambo yet....

I don't wish an untimely death on Bieber, rather that he and the rest of us that still live, learn to become better people, better humanitarians and give back to the world since it's painfully clear that every day we live is a gift that can disappear at any time.

Thing is, not too many know this cat was a male model before F&F.
A cool guy none the less. RIP Paul.

I guess the guy driving the car was an ex-race car driver...

[Patronus]

^why do I not doubt it... looks like someone missed a turn, introduced to tree

Here's more info on the car involved in the accident. Paul Walker's friend was the driver, and the car's owner.

R.I.P Paul.


"The Porsche Carerra GT is a difficult car to drive for even professionals, with one top driver calling its handling "scary"

"there were fewer than 1,300 of the V-10, 610-hp, mid engine cars built from 2004-07, with less than half coming to the U.S. The car that crashed was number 479"

they say only the good die young   

  and how often have various model Porsches been know as "widow makers " 

[RuNvS69]

how ironic , what was that other car guys name  that died to young in a Porsche   ?

R.I.P. paul   

You're thinking of Ryan Dunn (aka: RandomHero) from the CKY and Jackass series.  He was the (drunk) driver of a Porsche that also crashed and then burst into flames.


As far as F&F movies go, I also enjoy them because they are extremely entertaining and I know not to take them seriously.  The first movie triggered my interest in Chargers and I've owned several since it came out.  My latest is a clone of the 70 Charger Paul drove at the end of Fast5 where he helped free Vin Diesel's character from the police bus.

Rest in Peace Paul-- many people will miss you and know you were a standup guy.

[1974dodgecharger]

seemed like a good all around guy.....you can just tell from his persona from the screen.  Sad to hear and I love the FandF series no shame in admitting it either!

Sad part is, I wonder if all the "F&F stuff" will go up in price now on eBay...

Leave it up to mankind to take a tragic situation and make it even more demoralizing.

I'm wagering that his other movies that were just recently finished will be instant-sell outs, whether they be good movies or bad ones.  As for Fast 7, who knows what will become of that one...

Most likely the story will be tweaked and the movie finished depending how far along it is and how much money can be made off this tragedy. Follow the money, right? As the saying goes, "never let a good crisis go to waste" and Hollywood pretty much lives by that code. It would seem pretty messed up to have his character die in a car crash but then wouldn't that would be the logical thing to do in this kind of movie?

[myk]

Not to belittle or trivialize what happened, but if they could finish "The Crow" with Brandon Lee dying during filming of that movie, I'm assuming/hoping Fast '7 will be equally salvageable.  Then again, like you said it all depends on how far the filming was; I was under the impression that they had already finished but I guess not...

[Baldwinvette77]

i read on several sites that the ending will be tweaked to pay tribute to walker, im not sure what that means....but... hopefully not a cash in
