Yahoo News Go behind the scenes of a wild Fast 8 stunt
We might have been distracted by various flavours of 'beef' coming from the Fast and Furious franchise around Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham's spin-off movie, carousing our way in 2019, but let's not forget what these movies are truly about.
Massive cars, insane stunts and great big explosions.
We've got our hands on this rather wonderful behind the scenes clip from the movie giving a bit of insight into how they pulled off that amazing multi-car chase across the ice.

"This is a moment where audiences are going to go crazy because we're having fun," says Johnson, who's clearly having fun in a scene which sees him hanging off the door and skidding on the ice with Tyrese Gibson behind the wheel.
For motorheads out there, Dennis McCarthy, Picture Car Coordinator, explains how the stunt was possible and how they souped up Hobbs' vehicle to make it even more imposing. It's all about fitting 'mattracks' instead of wheels ,apparently.
The next instalment in the Fast and Furious series is due in 2020.
Fast and Furious 8 is available now on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment (UK).
