Rio de Janeiro

In the Fast Five film, along with Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster), Toretto slips off to extradition-proof Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Plenty of beauty shots establish the instantly recognizable city, including Sugarloaf Mountain, the view of the bay from the Dona Marta lookout point, the Statue of Christ the Redeemer and the seemingly endless favelas blanketing the surrounding hills.

In Fast Five, it’s also the genuine Rio as Toretto and O’Conner assemble the team to relieve Reyes of his vast fortune, though when Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) flies in, that’s not Rio de Janeiro International he’s seen leaving but the angled frontage of the Museu de Arte Moderna

The chase scene in the Fast Five film climaxes on a lengthy causeway, which is the Teodoro Moscosco Bridge crossing the Laguna San Jose to connect San Juan with the neighbouring Isla Verde district.
