I never cared about Walker outside of F&F, but I think the reports tried to make it less obvious that witnesses saw signs of life before the car erupted in flames. I read about and have personally seen a lot of spectacular sports car wrecks. The car is usually shattered to bits, sometimes the passenger survives or isn’t hurt at all. But I can’t count how many stories I’ve read of people getting barbecued in a damn Porsche. Those shits belong on a controlled track and probably shouldn’t be considered street legal.
I only saw the 1st Fast and Furious movie and was already bored of the series.
This guy dying in a car accident is a cruel joke by whoever runs shit.
Lets have a moment of silence for Paul Walker simply for the fact that its just 2easy…
Thanks to all you assholes now the series has been spoiled for me. No need to watch them anymore, the dude dies at the end.
Not even upon a star?
I dont ride with anyone who gets on it.
A buddy way back in 2004-2005 smacked his CRX into a center divide on an on-ramp, I was the passenger, then not too long after, another guy I was riding with was accelerating full tilt up a blind hill, and almost smashed into someone backing out of their driveway. On a 2 way, 2 lane road. Someone could have easily been coming the other way, when he had to swerve.
Never again. Never rode with people “into” cars after that.
I guess God needed that 5 second car in heaven
Man, this makes me sad. As someone that grew up in the Cali beach lifestyle, Paul always reminded of some of my best homies/typical Cali surfer dudes. Not always the best people at all times but genuine and down to earth.
Seeing this newspiece, I wonder if he wasn’t egging the driver on… Not that it makes a big difference but he doesn’t seem like the type of dude that would be squeamish about a little melted rubber.
I’m not overly sad or anything, just… Well, it sucks to see him go.
To be fair it makes no difference who you are…
I’ve been a fan of the F&F series, and admittedly only knew of him from the movies, but it’s still disappointing to see anyone go out like that.
R.I.P.
I wonder who the driver was?
This man. He was looking legit after the last couple. There were times I watched him and felt like he wasn’t a real actor, but over a period, he began to show chops.
Really terrible and ironic that an actor who was made iconic in movies about cars died in a fiery car crash. Really reminds you how precious each breath is, because I’m sure he was prepared for FF7, then this happens.
I just hope they don’t screw everything up and try to bring in a lookalike to reprise his role. You lose one of the leads to the series, just let it end. Please.
Since lastnight I been in heartbreak over this. I’m pissed that he’s gone. People can say all they want, I
fucking loved this guy, F&F movies, Running Scared—some of my favorite things about him. What’s
more, he gets snatched away from us, so unexpectedly, on the way to his own fucking charity event!?
GODDAMMIT!

The driver was the CEO of a specialty car dealership Walker owned (and where the Porsche came from), reportedly Walker’s best friend.
EDIT: The company website before they update it. http://www.alwaysevolving.com/ (look at those toys though)
While my condolences go out to his family I must firmly disagree with your belief that death is not funny.

Death is actually one of the best things for comedy as it is a universal thing that crosses all social barriers. All people experience death.
For the record, they were already shooting scenes for the movie in Atlanta. As long as that footage exists, the whole thing is just going to have a eerie vibe. They’re gonna have to rewrite the whole script and reshoot what they’ve done, and honestly… they should just let it go.
Movie is already in post production they have all the footage of him they need to complete the movie. They would never simply drop a film that cost in the tens of millions just out of respect of the deceased.
damn RIP Paul…you were a talented actor
Too Fast, Post-Humous.
Pity, he seemed like a genuinely cool guy that actually loved cars. Seeing the Liveleak video of his car burning was really tough.
The Hearse that’s gonna drive his coffin to the cemetery is gonna be going
Too Slow
To bury him.
At least for me.
sorry.
My girl had a crush on him.
Guess I won’t look so bad now.
At least I’m not a crispy mangled carcass.
Good sir, please elaborate on this story of yours.
We would all like to hear it.
also,
LOL.
