Skydiving musclecars out of a plane, prison transports with remote controlled mini-guns, and roof-mounted grappling hook launchers. And that’s just the opening 20 seconds of this first trailer for James Wan’s Fast and Furious 7, and then it just keeps going bigger from there. If anybody had been worried that Wan – best known for directing low-budget scary movies like …
