“Fast X,” the latest addition to the iconic “Fast and Furious” franchise, is set to hit theaters on May 19th and it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride. The film brings back a familiar villain from Dom’s past, played by Jason Momoa, who targets Dom’s family. The trailer released this week, as well as the one shown during the Super Bowl, teased high-stakes action and car stunts in various international locations, including the Colosseum in Rome.
One of the highlights of the trailer was the incredible scene in which Dom drives his car over a bridge and down a dam, with flames from an explosion chasing him down its arched wall. The scene was reportedly filmed at Cabril Dam in Portugal, which is one of the largest dams in the country, standing at 433 feet tall. The exact context of the scene in the movie is yet to be determined, but it’s sure to be one of the most visually stunning moments in “Fast X.”

Twitter Goes Wild Over Dom’s Dam Stunt
Twitter was abuzz with excitement over the new trailer and the unforgettable sight of Dom’s dam stunt. Some tweets were simply filled with disbelief and amazement, such as @NewTSage’s “Did Dominic Toretti just nitro jump off the Hoover Dam?” Others couldn’t help but comment on the over-the-top nature of it all, with @fluffyman85 pointing out that despite the director’s aim for a more “grounded” film, “Dom” was escaping a large explosion on a dam.
Many fans expressed their excitement about the film, with @StevenM28021817 quipping “Just saw the Super Bowl commercial for #FASTX and guess what. I am dam sure watching.” The film’s spring debut is quickly approaching and fans can expect more hype and excitement as the release date draws near.
