Gray and Morgan did research on car hacking in order to ground the scene, but the end result is more like something out of The Walking Dead than a slice of reality. Back in 2015, Chrysler had to issue a recall on 1.4 million cars after a pair of security researchers proved they could remotely hack a Wired reporter’s Jeep. There have also been scary examples of remote car hacking in the wild. (In fairness, it’s a goddamn Fast and Furious movie.) In 2017, car hacking has become enough of a threat that the FBI has issued a public service announcement about the dangers of remote vehicular infiltration. Slightly less realistic is the outlandish way car hacking is portrayed in this scene.
“There are moments of movie magic here and there, but our mantra was shoot it real, make it real, so the audience feels like they’re right there in the action as opposed to watching it, or feeling like you’re watching a cartoon.” Gray also insists that what appears the screen was largely real action, not just C.G.I. The impressively rendered scene was, naturally, a perfect nightmare to shoot. “Make it rain” has never sounded so violent. The pièce de résistance comes when Cipher controls a fleet of cars parked in a multi-level garage, remotely forcing them to fling themselves out of the windows-resulting in a Mad Max-level fusillade of metal and shiny, shiny chrome. A major scene in the new film devolves into a chasing spree after zombie cars are hacked and controlled by evil genius Cipher ( Charlize Theron), then sent after Hobbs ( Dwayne Johnson), Letty ( Michelle Rodriguez), and the gang. The eighth installment takes everything one step further, upping the ante from boat and plane jumping to the futuristic world of mass car hacking. Beautiful cars sprint down streets all over the world, causing mayhem and catching fire and crashing into each other as they build into perfectly cinematic explosions. There’s something poetic about the freewheeling appetite for destruction in The Fate of the Furious. This post contains spoilers about The Fate of the Furious.
