I Accept Show Purposes. Furious 7 is part revenge thriller, part daring heist, and more than a little of a loving goodbye to a dear friend. Franchise star Paul Walker died in a car crash before filming was complete, and both his life and death loom large over the movie. It feels inevitable, and waiting around every corner. The movie is also a celebration of his life. Furious 7 traffics so heavily in history that it will carry the most weight with already extant fans, especially in an emotional sense.

Moviegoers have been living with these actors, as these characters, for over a decade.
For many, this version of these characters is the only one they know. This is why the sudden ashification of so many heroes at the end of Infinity War hit even the most cynical comic book veterans right in the feels and left less hardened viewers confused and distraught.
Smith has had so many blockbusters over the years that it's hard to narrow down which one may have garnered him the biggest paycheck.
