If you press pause at 98 minutes and 57 seconds in “Fast & Furious 7,” you’ll discover a double Dwayne Johnson! – Cinema News

Every cinematic universe brings with it secret details, Easter eggs and references that encourage film lovers all over the world to go on a journey of discovery. This applies not only to the extensive Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also to the “Star Wars” series, for example. But that is not enough, because there are always surprises to be discovered in the “The Fast And The Furious” franchise.

In “Fast & Furious 7,” for example, there is an Easter Egg that doesn’t require any film knowledge, but rather requires considerable knowledge of sports or football. Because if you press pause at 98 minutes and 57 seconds in the action spectacle, you will see how Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs watches himself on TV in the hospital!

How can that be? After Luke Hobbs has reported on Deckard Shaw’s (Jason Statham) beating in “Fast 7”, he ends up in the hospital, where he has to spend a large part of the film. Shortly before the finale, we see Hobbs watching a football game on TV – and he’s watching a game in which Dwayne Johnson himself took part!

This is a match from 1993. Dwayne Johnson played football for Miami from 1990 to 1994. On the screen you can see Miami’s loss to arch-rival Florida State in 1993. It is the exact play in which Dwayne Johnson throws Charlie Ward, the quarterback of Florida State, to the ground before he can make a pass. By the way, this is very valuable in football and is called a “sack”.

By the way, Ryan Reynolds was also seen twice in one and the same scene in the Netflix action hit “6 Underground”, albeit for completely different reasons. You can find out where to find the moment and what exactly is behind it in the following article:

Stop this Netflix action hit with Ryan Reynolds at 14 minutes and 42 seconds – and you’ll see the “Deadpool” star in 2 places at once!
