As explained by visual effects supervision Michael J. Wassel, two stuntmen portraying Dom and Brian , were shot jumping from the cliff into the water while tethered. Then, a real Corvette Sting Ray was launched into the canyon using an air cannon. That sequence, along with the one featuring the stuntmen, were then combined in post-production, making it look like it all happened simultaneously.
To polish off the cliff jump sequence in Fast Five , Wassel and his team used a green screen to create the moment leading up to the freefall. With Diesel in the driver's seat and Walker hanging onto the back, the car's movements were simulated as the actors were pulled upwards with cables. Diesel and Walker also filmed scenes emerging from the water to show the characters directly after the freefall.
The sequence wasn't as technical as Fast Five 's vault heist stunt , but it helped prove the lengths the franchise was willing to go after taking on the identity of an action series.

While there, they get swept up into the criminal empire of corrupt businessman Hernan Reyes. While the team attempted to orchestrate a plan to obtain the cash, DSS agent Luke Hobbs and his team target Dom's crew until they, too, became enemies of Reyes. Hobbs assisted in crashing a Hummer through a cement wall in the garage so that Dom and Brian could tether wires to the vault.
The duo then used Dodge Chargers to pull the vault from the building, setting off an epic car chase with police and Reyes' henchmen. The heist through Rio de Janeiro took four weeks of preparation for director Justin Lin and his team. Though filming certain angles was difficult, moving the actual vault turned out to be one of the biggest challenges.
Thankfully, Fast Five 's stunt crew came up with a few special prop vaults. To pull off the heist and subsequent chase, stunt coordinator Jack Gill built multiple vaults, including one that had a pickup truck inside. For a car to fit in the vault, Gill cut the middle of the truckbed and welded the pieces back together. Believing they cannot outrun the police, Dom makes Brian continue without him while he attacks the police and the pursuing Reyes, using the vault attached to his car to smash their vehicles.
Brian returns to kill Zizi, while Reyes is badly injured by Dom's assault. Hobbs arrives on the scene and kills Reyes. Hobbs refuses to let Dom and Brian go free but, unwilling to arrest them, agrees to give them a hour head start to escape. The gang splits Reyes' money, leaving Vince's share to his family, before the members go their separate ways. On a tropical beach, Brian and a visibly pregnant Mia relax. They are met by Dom and Elena.
Brian challenges Dom to a final, no-stakes race to prove who is the better driver. In a post-credits scene, Hobbs is given a file by Monica Fuentes Eva Mendes concerning the hijack of a military convoy in Berlin. In the file, Hobbs discovers a recent photo of Dom's former girlfriend Letty Ortiz , who had been presumed dead.
By February 3, , it was confirmed that a fifth film, referred to as Fast Five , was going into production in the Fast and Furious series, and that Diesel, Walker, writer Chris Morgan and producer Neal H.
Moritz would all return to their roles for the new installment. Diesel felt that the story between the characters portrayed by himself and Walker should continue, envisioning it as three chapters, of which Fast Five would be the last.
Diesel also wanted to bring back a variety of characters that had been in previous films without interacting, put them together and "have a lot of fun".
The production had originally intended to film on location in Rio de Janeiro. However, the Puerto Rican government offered tax incentives, influencing the decision to film there, using Puerto Rico to represent Rio de Janeiro. Lin wanted to explore the elements of "freedom and family" in the film and collaborated with Morgan towards that ideal, both having worked together on previous installments of the franchise.
Morgan worked with Diesel to produce a story arc that would further explore and develop Diesel's character. He later incorporated it into Fast Five. Shooting had started by July 14, , but it took longer than forecast: the film was still being shot in early November Three film units worked simultaneously.
The main cast were required to travel to Rio at the behest of Lin, who felt it important to understand the area and its culture to give the film a good sense of place.
Diesel agreed that it was important to shoot key scenes in Brazil, commenting "we were able to shoot where other productions might not be able to shoot because our franchise has such good street cred.
Establishing shots of the heist team members were taken as each arrived in Rio. A similar situation occurred while Ludacris was shooting a scene in which his character buys a car to drive around the city. A scene where the completed heist team walk down a beach was filmed in Copacabana.
The rooftop chase across favelas was filmed in Puerto Rico, where the production could have more control over the area. The main and second filming units began filming in and around the capital, San Juan. The island's mixture of tropical greenery and wide streets allowed the production to re-create the densely populated favelas of Rio while completing the larger action and external scenes without incident.
Production designer Peter Wenham had the task of transforming Puerto Rico and Atlanta into the previously scouted Rio locations in four weeks, as the production deemed Rio unsuitable for filming many of the larger scenes. Wenham had to reinforce buildings to support the heavy camera equipment, and to alter the colors of more than 30 buildings in the city to make them suitable for filming. His team needed to alter the buildings and strew debris to make the area look disheveled and appear as a Rio shantytown.
Wenham remarked that, though the development was difficult, in part due to the heat, it was "a walk in the park" compared with filming in the Rio favelas themselves.
