Investigation:

The accompanying text stated: “Cars fall from buildings and explode in the street as stunts from the filming of the new ‘Fast & Furious’ movie were captured from across the street.”
We further found this clip in a video uploaded on a verified YouTube channel named Movieclips, run by the public review website Rotten Tomaotoes. The same visuals can be seen here shot from a different angle. Actress Charlize Theron can also be seen in character in this clip.
Vishvas News also reached out to Jagran’s senior entertainment journalist Smita Srivastav for confirmation, who verified that the video is indeed from the movie ‘Fast and Furious 8’, which was released in 2017.
Meanwhile, the riot-like situation is persistent in France after a teenager was shot dead in a police shooting in a Paris suburb on June 27. More details about the current situation in France can be read in this story.
