Watch Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson break a lot of glass in Furious 7 brawl

Furious 7 - EXCLUSIVE CLIP "The Rock vs Jason Statham"
The premiere of Furious 7 is just around the corner, and Universal Pictures has offered up a new clip from the upcoming film that serves as a reminder that there’s more to the action in the Fast & Furious franchise than what happens behind the wheel.

Furious 7 actors Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson are featured in the short clip, and the as one might expect from the Hollywood tough guys, their on-screen time is short on dialogue and big on punches, kicks, and in this particular sequence, quite a bit of broken glass. The pair brawl from one end of a glass-filled office to the other after CIA Agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) discovers Deckard Shaw (Statham) stealing data from his computer — not the kind of intrusion that provokes a street fight in most scenarios.

The seventh installment of the blockbuster franchise finds Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker), Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), and the rest of their ragtag family of racing experts targeted by a dangerous rogue agent (Statham) intent on revenge. When the crew loses one of their own to Shaw, they’re forced to go on the offensive to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Directed by James Wan (Insidious), the film also features a slew of returning cast members including Jordana Brewster (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning), Tyrese Gibson (Transformers), Chris “Ludacris” Bridges (New Year’s Eve), Elsa Pataky (Where the Road Meets the Sun), and Lucas Black (Friday Night Lights), who returns to the franchise after starring in 2006’s The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift. Newcomers to the series this time around include Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak), Kurt Russell (The Thing, Escape From New York), Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones), and Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy), as well as musician Iggy Azaela in a cameo role.

Furious 7 hits theaters April 3.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (April 2024)
Ritu Arya and Priya Kansara in Polite Society.

Things are admittedly slow on Amazon Prime Video during the final weekend of April. Fortunately, the martial arts action comedy Polite Society should be able to bring you some excitement this weekend. Romantic comedy fans can also check out How to Date Billy Walsh, a film that has entered the list of the top 10 most popular movies on Prime Video.

If neither of these films are for you, don't worry. This roundup of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video has something for just about everyone. And on May 1, a whole new batch of movies will arrive, with even more to come as we inch closer to summer.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (April 2024)
Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You.

Netflix couldn't have asked for a better late April gift than the streaming premiere of Anyone But You. Thanks to Netflix's deal with Sony, 2024's blockbuster rom-com is already on top of the list of the most popular movies on Netflix, leaving Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver in second place. But things could be much worse for Rebel Moon – Part Two, which is performing well a week after its debut.

The other new addition for the week is King Richard, a sports drama starring Will Smith that's appearing on loan from Warner Bros. Discovery. It's also one of Netflix's top movies of the week, which suggests that the film may find sustained popularity on this platform that it didn't get on Max.

The cast of Dead Boy Detectives.

For the final weekend of April, Netflix has debuted one last original show for the month: Dead Boy Detectives. This series was a bit of a gamble because it was dropped by Max. And it might be humiliating for the Warner Bros. Discovery regime if Dead Boy Detectives goes from being a castoff to a breakout hit. Netflix may be able to create lighting in a bottle, but it doesn't always work out, as exemplified by the disappointing performance of the resurrected Girls5eva earlier this year.

The other new addition this week is White Collar, a forbearer of Suits on the USA Network that ended 10 years ago. All six seasons of White Collar are now available, and it's already one of the most popular shows on Netflix. If White Collar can come anywhere close to the success that Suits has had on Netflix, then we can probably expect to see more shows like this in the future.
