I'm not one for spoiling endings to movies, but Furious 7, the latest installment in the popular Fast & Furious franchise is a different beast. As the last film in the series to star Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner, there's a heavy emotional attachment to Furious 7. It's finally set in that we will not see Walker in another Fast & Furious film, or any movie for that matter, as the actor was killed in a car crash in November 2013.
Having such a passionate following, fans of Walker and the Fast & Furious series have started to upload Furious 7's emotionally-charged ending online. Yes, it spoils the ending, but I think we're past that already.
Furious 7 already made its millions. It has broken box office records. I think even knowing the ending won't prevent fans from paying to see it in theaters. The videos will likely be pulled shortly, but for those of you interested, check it out below. Judging by the opening weekend box office numbers, fans don't see to mind the spoiler. And perhaps what's most shocking, almost everyone agrees with how studio handled Walker's departure.
***Warning spoilers***
"I used to say 'I live my life a quarter mile at a time.' And I think that's why we were brothers — becuase you did too," Vin Diesel (Dominic Toretto) says in the voiceover as Walker pulls up in a white Supra. Playing during the entire sequence — which shows us flashbacks of Walker in past Fast & Furious films — is Wiz Khalifa's song "See You Again."
The whole scene is incredibly emotional. It's the last time we'll see Vin Diesel and Paul Walker drive alongside each other for "one last ride." The scene is a reminder of how far we've come, directly echoing the end of the first film from 2001 in which Diesel and Walker's characters street race and attempt to outrun a train.

Talking about the scene to the Huffington Post, Universal Pictures president of film and publishing, Mike Knobloch, described it as a "celebration of Paul's life."
