What are some of the strangest facts about famous movies?

 Well! these facts are kinda shocking rather than strange.

So, last night i was watching The Fate of the furious,and i was wondering that how many cars these guys have destroyed/crashed/wrecked in Fast and the furious franchise.

So, i did my digging and found these astounding figures.

• The Fast and the furious (2001)

78 cars

• 2 fast 2 furious(2002)

130 cars

• The fast and the furious Tokyo drift (2006)

249 cars

• Fast and furious (2009)

190 cars

• Fast five (2011)

260 cars

• Fast and furious 6 (2013)

staggering…350 cars

• Furious 7 (2015)

230 cars

so,over the course of first 7 films The fast and the furious franchise destroyed 1487 cars.

Now if we talk about 8th film The fate of the furious, anyone who has watched this movie knows that the number of cars in this movie can outrun the no. of cars in its previous parts (separately).

• In an interview by Mighty Car Mods, Michael McCarthy of California’s Vehicle Effect (the company responsible for making some of the cars in the Fast and the Furious 8), said they built around 300 cars for a 5-6 month period — and that doesn’t include those other vehicles that were made and finished in other countries as well.
• He also added that the New York sequence alone used up around 200-300 cars during filming, which is way, over-the-top insane.

(New york car crash scene, movie : Fate of the furious (2017))

So, clearly these guys are talking large no. of cars here.

Some additional facts:

• Ever wondered how much it cost to ruin all those spectacular cars in the entire franchise?

Oh, just around half a billion dollars according to Insure the Gap — or $523,222,275 (33,47,55,13,435 INR ) to be exact.

• And the costliest car they ruined into smithereens? A Lykan Hypersport that Dominic Toretto ruined in the jaw-dropping Abu Dhabi skyscraper chase (Fast and Furious 7). Yes, we almost heard our jaws crack wide open on this one. And its price tag? Oh, just around $3,430,400 (21,94,75,367 INR)

That’s going to be one expensive Repair bill.

THANK YOU :)

PEACE.

What are some simple yet amazing facts of famous Hollywood movies?

 Famous Hollywood Movies? The Dark Knight should obviously top the list!

1. In the movie where Joker asks Harvey Dent to kill him or join his rank, he actually places his finger such that even if Dent had pulled the trigger hammer would not work. This shows the cunningness of joker who once said during the movie "Do I really look like a guy with a plan?" Sheer Brilliance of Christopher Nolan…!

2. At the beginning of the movie 'Fight Club', after the traditional copyright warning, there is a second warning that flashes for a second. Tyler Durden’s Critical Statements!

3. Marla Singer from 'Fight Club' and Teddy aka John Gammel from 'Memento' have the same phone number.

4. 'The Dark Knight” was the first Batman movie not to have "Batman" in its title.

5. The sound of the velociraptors communicating with each other in Jurassic Park is actually the sound of tortoises mating.

6. The movie 'Titanic' (1997) cost more to make than the actual ship (Titanic) that sank. The movie cost $200 million. The actual costs to construct the ship from 1910 to 1912 were $7.5 million. Adjusted for inflation, that would be around $116 million in 1997.!

7. All the clocks in the movie 'Pulp Fiction' are stuck on 4:20.

8. The man shown at the end of the movie 'The Pursuit of Happyness' is Chris Gardner on whom the story is based.
