Remember that awesome scene from the Fast & Furious 7 trailers where the crew drive their cars out of an aircraft to parachute to the ground below?

We kind of assumed that had been achieved with a bit of camera trickery and maybe some CGI - but it turns out we were WRONG.

A fascinating new behind-the-scenes video shows how the eye-popping stunt was actually captured - and it really did involve throwing cars out of a plane at altitude.

The two-and-a-half minute film sees stunt co-ordinators Andy and Jack Gill explaining that skydivers with cameras fell at the same time as the vehicles, working hard to get the shots the filmmakers wanted.

And don't worry about the vehicles - 'cos one of them is seen touching down safely in the desert.

Fast & Furious 7 hits cinemas on 3 April.
