The chase scene with the vault at the end of “Fast Five” may be the creative peak of the franchise.
It is absurd and ridiculous, but anchored in something approaching real physics. The safe has mass and weight, and presents a problem around which the characters must improvise.pic.twitter.com/IGXXfbI1Pi

It’s the vault scene in Fast Five. Literally the movie that reset the series and took it to the next level.

With custom designed vault, created especially for the scene, the 10-minute-longFast and Furiousaction sequence left fans imagining how could they have pulled it off. The director,Justin Linrecalls how they came up with the idea.
“At one point we were going to start the movie off with the vault heist. And of course there’s the discussion about, ‘How are you going to do it? ‘We should just do it CG.’ And I was like, ‘No, no, no. Let’s just build what a vault would look like and then just go out and tow it around and see what happens.’”
And then off they went creating custom designs, and steerable vaults, and with a little bit of CGI here and there, the scene turned out to be one of the most exciting and memorable pieces of stunt sequence in the history of action movies.

How Was TheFast and FuriousStunt Planned And Executed?
Dwayne Johnson‘s entry into the franchise was overshadowed by this 10-minute-long stunt, but how was it even shot? The stunt coordinator Jack Gill explained that they had to meticulously plan down to the last bit. They built up 5 vaults for different kinds of shots. For one of the shots, they had a fake vault with a car hidden inside. The stunt driver had dry ice surrounding him, with him breathing through a hose!
For the main street scene, the crew converted a large parking lot into a main street, with a bank especially constructed for the scene. Other than a 6-second long scene, the entireFast and Furiousstunt is a real deal. Even the bridge scene on the Ponte Rio-Niterói was shot in real-time with actual cars. And hence with a budget of $125 million and out-of-the-world stunts, Dwayne Johnson’s debut movie went on to earn a whopping $626M worldwide.
