F9 released a high-flying new clip ahead of the film's release later this month.
Posted on the Rotten Tomatoes Twitter account, the minute-long scene shows Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto and Michelle Rodriguez's Letty in the midst of a high-speed chase when they realize they're about to head over a cliff.
While Letty seems skeptical about her husband's plan, Dom proceeds to swing the car across a broken bridge with help from a single cable, which results in the couple flying over a massive body of water before crash landing on another rocky surface. The clip ends with a banged-up, but very much alive Letty noting, "Well, that was new."
F9 premiered in theaters outside of North America on May 21, bringing in an $127 million on its opening weekend, with ticket sales pushing the Fast and Furious franchise past $6 billion. The film brought in $105 million in China alone. Tickets for the film are now available for purchase in the United States. Specifically, tickets are available now for screenings starting June 24 on both standard and IMAX screens via Fandango.
As far as reviews of the film are concerned, it's been a mixed bag. F9's score on Rotten Tomatoes sits at 69 percent, with 18 critics deeming it "Fresh" and eight critics labeling it "Rotten."
The release of the new clip follows the recent announcement by Universal Pictures that it will continue promoting F9 with a new Cameo sweepstakes. Running through June 8, the contest gives fans the chance to win personalized videos from Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel and Sung Kang on Cameo. Those who enter the sweepstakes will also gain access to additional F9 content, including Cameo's "The Fast Saga Fan Club," which includes trailers, featurettes and more.
Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he's going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob.
Directed by Justin Lin, F9 stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Helen Mirren, Kurt Russell and Charlize Theron. The film arrives in theaters June 25.
