Que the explosions: Fans of The Fast and the Furious franchise get surprised with the ride of their lives in spectacular stunt filled prank video.

It was always going to be a good day for the lucky super fans of The Fast and The Furious chosen to spend the day at Universal Studios; however I doubt any of them were quite prepared for what transpired next. Under the pretence that they had been picked to witness a sneak peek “drive-in” of the latest instalment of the franchise, The Fate of the Furious, the participants were invited to sit in a series of gorgeous super cars in front of a large screen. That impression was soon thrown out of the window, or in this case the wall, as in a wonderful case of life imitating art they were soon thrust into a stunt filled re-enactment of some of the more breath-taking moments from the film.

Que the explosions, broken buildings, flipping cars, high speed chases galore and don’t forget the Nos! The stunned participants show an amazing range of reactions from shock to euphoria mixed with a dose of sheer terror as they are put at the forefront of the action courtesy of the professional drivers subtly sitting next to them and behind the wheel.

The broadband company Xfinity working with their Comcast sibling Universal were behind this heart pumping prank as they used the essence of the adrenaline fuelled film to launch their new ultra-high-speed Gigabit Internet Service.

“If you’re going to do a prank these days, it has to be epic,” said Sherri Davis, Xfinity’s senior director of brand experience. “And we’re promoting a new service with over-the-top ridiculous speed, so this made perfect sense.”
