Paul Walker's final appearance in the street-racing franchise Fast & Furious left a preview audience teary-eyed at the South by Southwest festival in Texas.
Furious 7, which opens in cinemas next month, is Walker's last appearance as law enforcement officer Brian O'Connor.
The 40-year-old blond actor died as a passenger in a car crash in Santa Clarita, California, in November 2013.
Before the screening, the film's producer Neal Moritz appealed to viewers not to reveal what becomes of Walker's character in the franchise, which has grossed more than $2-billion globally.
"We honestly lost a dear friend, brother, comrade, while we were making this movie," Moritz said.
