Watch Paul Walker's Final 'Furious 7' Scene in Wiz Khalifa's 'See You Again' Video - Awsome Tribute!

Over the weekend, Americans audiences plunked down $143.6 million to watch Furious 7, and many of them left in tears thanks to the franchise’s touching send-off to the late Paul Walker. 

“See You Again,” rapper Wiz Khalifa’s collaboration with singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, is a gorgeous tribute to the actor, who died in a car crash in November 2013. The official music video for the Furious 7 soundtrack’s top single (which reached no. 1 on iTunes on Saturday) takes it one step further, mixing footage from Walker’s six movies as cop-turned-speedster Brian O’Conner. 

The video also contains more footage from the special ending that director James Wan and the cast scrambled to rewrite after Walker’s tragic passing.

The result is absolutely heartbreaking, with a chorus that asks “How can we not talk about family when family’s all we got” playing over a montage of Walker hugging his on-screen family, led by Vin Diesel and Jordana Brewster. As Vin Diesel wrote on Facebook on Sunday in a post accompanying the video, “Pablo, this weekend you turned the world into a family… Thanks for the love…”

James Wan (director) said that the ending had originally served a much different purpose.

"The original ending of Furious 7 was setting up, you know, the bigger world of where the Fast and Furious franchise could go into. And that’s obviously very smart of them to think so. But when the tragedy happened, all of that became irrelevant. So it did not matter anymore, all of that stuff. And to the studio’s credit, they did not push for that. They realized how important it was to make a movie that finishes and that just outright is a tribute to Paul Walker. So I give them a lot of credit for being bigger than that and going along with this ending that is the right ending to go with."
