Fast & Furious 6 gives us perhaps the most physics-defying hijinks of the franchise. Dom's leap of faith, him taking a bullet, and that epically long runway - there's a lot to discuss. Melissa and Lisa also chat with locations scout Kerry Patten, who worked on the movie. Hear from her about the logistics of filming a car chase in the streets of (not actually) London.
Here's an article calculating just how long the runway would have to be. And writer Chris Morgan's response is fun too.
Kerry shared some great videos for people who want to learn more about location scouting and management.
