Following the death of Paul Walker, filming was delayed for script re-writes and his younger brothers Caleb and Cody were used as stand-ins to complete his remaining scenes.
At the end of the 137-minute movie, the director James Wan paid tribute to late star Paul Walker. He also avoided killing Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Connor instead his character was retired as in the end Brian O’Connor decided to take care of his family.
In a scene towards the end, the Fast and Furious team sit on a beach and watch Paul Walker play in the sea with his family in
the distance, talking about him leaving the group, and they all look genuinely devastated.
