[@thedude41780]

"Ejecto seato cuz!!! It worked...I love this button!!!! Hah hah!!! Mr O'connor it worked, blow and go baby we are all clear over here!!". That was always one of my many favorite scenes in 2F2F!!! And Tyrese is one hell of a stand out and unique character in it!!! They definitely chose the right person for that role when they cast him as Roman Pierce!! He's been one of my more favorite characters in the more recent F&F movies, only second to Paul Walker (of course!!😂), even though I honestly stopped being a diehard and devout F&F fan after the 4th movie "Fast and Furious". In my opinion, that really was the end of the series or rather like the end of an era as much as I honestly hate to admit and recognize, when it came to the main subject that the movie was centered around and why so many gearheads and tuners fell in love with these movies, which was of course, centered around not only the cars themselves and illegal street racing and the import tuner car culture in general but, the stories of the original "crew" or cast who we were all introduced to in the 1st F&F movie and who we all became attached to, loved, invested into their stories, struggles, and triumphs, and then considered as absolutely essential elements/characters when it came to making a true, legitimate, unique, and official F&F movie!!! And now of course, we have these awesome videos made by Craig Lieberman which include all kinds of great behind the scenes info, car specs, and myth dispelling facts that we otherwise might not have ever known if it weren't for him and his generosity, patience, consideration, respect, and selfless volunteering of his time, effort, and personal firsthand knowledge and experience when it came to the time he spent working and consulting on the set of the multiple F&F movies!! I don't know about the rest of you out there but, I honestly really appreciate his efforts and hard work in making these excellent videos because it allows me to reminisce and think back on that time in my life and all the memories of joy and happiness that these movies introduced into my life as it really took a latent interest in cars and really cemented it into a full on love, enthusiasm, and drive to learn more about cars, their operation, ability for modification and performance potential, and really an overall personal improvement and growth that comes about from learning new things and expanding one's horizons!!! So this one goes out directly to Craig Lieberman himself and Rob Cohen by association, "Thank you for unknowingly and unwittingly acting as a catalyst that started a substantial change in my life and serving as the motivation for the subsequent personal growth I went through thanks to the gentle nudge I was given thanks mainly due to the influence and impact that the F&F movies had on me as a young man!!" So thank you Craig, the great work you did during your time working on and consulting for the multiple sets of the F&F movies had a profound impact on me and so many other young men and women like me in the early 2000s and I'm honestly not sure that I can say that I would've ended up in the same place and with the same interests that I currently have if it weren't for the F&F movies and your influence and your diligence in doing all you could to ensure a certain level of authenticity and accuracy!! Your steadfast conviction and resolve on staying true to or as close to reality, authenticity, and tuner culture in general as possible was incredibly important, especially when it came to authenticity in portraying the tuner culture, JDM enthusiasts, and factually accurate representations of the cars, their styling (or what could be considered as respectable and tasteful cosmetic, aero, and some performance oriented mods that were meant to add to the overall visual appeal of the cars on which they were installed, within reason!), sounds, mods, performance, and technical jargon or nomenclature that, other than actual experienced tuners and gearheads themselves, ordinary and non-car guys would even be aware of or have any working knowledge of outside of certain racing games or car centric movies or TV shows!!! You're efforts definitely have NOT gone unnoticed and are incredibly appreciated....or at least I can honestly say that unequivocally about myself and on my own behalf but, with a fair amount certainty about many of my fellow car nuts, enthusiasts, tuners, and gearheads and how they most likely feel, as I'm sure that they most likely share my sentiments and opinions!!!! Anyways, keep on doing exactly what it is that you're doing now and I know that I will absolutely and undeniably be here to watch with enthusiasm and gratitude!!! Thanks again, good luck, and God bless!!!!✊👍👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My friend, instead of being embarrassed about driving a girl's car, he thinks it's an opportunity for him to have a conversation with her. I mentally face palm as the girl starts to lose interest, as her beta male radar starts blaring warning alerts. It was like if she mentioned she bought a new thong and my friend had started talking about the cool new thong HE just bought. So terrible.

I didn't know you guys replicated it, I thought his was used for shooting but that makes sense. I was heavily involved in the street scene during this time from Jacksonville / Orlando ( Hot Import Nights! ) / Miami and SW FL. I know several people from Jacksonville, which had a amazing import scene with its large Asian and military population, who had cars selected for the background cars in 2F2F tho most of my friends and myself were all go no sho racers. Lieberman was a legend at this time. I still went to the premiere of 2F2F in Miami and that was night to remember!

[@original__gmebvy]

The eclipse from 2F2F is my favorite. I didn’t really like the Lancer Evo from this time period, I liked the one that came after the 7 (the 8 which officially came to America and was sold here). The eclipse is such an odd car, and the 3G model has a following in Japan due to the USDM scene that has been around within the last 10-15 years there. I always thought of it as being different from the typical JDM car and how those were customized, and it showed me at that point that you can build a fast customized car and be flashy and stylish at the same time. It’s to the point where I have built cars in the past with family or friends and they were flashy cars but they were fast too. And it’s such a memorable car even though the engine note is wrong

Nice video! 1) The red Eclipse at 2:42 was at the SEMA show in '99. 2) Apparently the LÖWENHART BR5 wheels were origanally on Tyrese's white 2000 Benz CL600 (where they suited the classy style of the car...). For those interested: You can see his Benz on the magazine cover of DUB MAGAZINE - issue 6 (2001). He absolutely wanted his wheels on the movie Eclipse, so the stuff happened that you mentionned in the video. 👍 3) At 5:19 you can see "H8TER" (the word hater) on the license plate of the Eclipse. Only realized that here on the video... 😂 16 years later...

You stated at 1:50 the car is a 2001 model. That’s incorrect. The car is a 2003. It has the 03-05 bumper, headlights, gauge cluster, door panels and even the 03-05 factory radio. Another give away is the power mirror switch was moved in 2003 from the center console to the driver side door panel. Cant forget the GTS badge on the hatch either (5:20)because the GTS wasn’t introduced until 2003. At 2:01 you stated the car makes 200hp, which would be correct if it was a GT, but it’s not it’s a GTS making 210hp. The cars shown at 2:42 (red)and 3:43 (blue/silver) are 00-02.

But here we are, with LA street racers now acting like elite Navy SEALS. Oh, Hollywood, must you ruin EVERYTHING?

[@david-gi9yl]

Meh seems like with the later movies they did get their way tho

[@elvis1745]

@@david-gi9yl yup, and then some!

Fast 9, car got rockets to fly to space

6:11 So this is where the MRS design was taken from for the 2004 video game Street Racing Syndicate.

Thank God you made it happen with the r34 . It has affected everyone in the best way

[@todd-1]

Tyrese seemed to make a lot of demands for an actor in his first feature.

[@rulisspecht1773]

I wouldnt drive it either with the yellow interior.

[@KoTM25681]

That's Tyrese the diva for ya...

[@duckysingleton4712]

This wasn't his first feature by far. I may be wrong but I dont think I am. Dont feel like googling it rn

[@MrJRD827]

Actually he was in baby boy with the director John Singleton

[@duckysingleton4712]

I had to look. Baby Boy (one of my favorite movies) was his only movie before this. But he was the main star

[@lisandro5713]

Great video as always Craig, thank you for sharing this with us

[@DnBBHox]

The videos are great! Thank you. But could you PLEAAAASE keep the captions/fun facts up longer? Pausing, rewinding and watching over and over is a drag.

[@UndertaleFan424]

Wish I would have made the investment last year to get one of these. There was a guy about 50 miles from me selling this exact Year Make and Model as a fixer upper for roughly 5 grand. It ran, didn't have any rust, solid all around but needed interior work and the paint was all original and starting to go. Ended up selling 3 days after it was listed online and regret not making a move on it.

[@dudder86ify]

I was at the premiere in la and they had the eclipes and the evo hero cars on display

[@tommyvercetti6035]

one of the orange challenger cars made it on chop cut rebuild or another similar show at one point to be restored with all new sheet metal. I remember they were amazed at the poorly done metal work on the "movie car".

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Awesome video! I watched this movie again after 15 years and really enjoyed it. Oh and I did say "wtf are those PT Cruisers doing in there!!" hahahaha!

[@truthinlogic4668]

man I am so happy that you talked them out of the car flipping upside down in a tunnel!.......that would've been terrible!

[@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights]

Can you make a car movie please. Without these guys trying to make it a meme

[@Jezza_C_WT]

For real. Some actual car guys need to get together to make a movie that is everything the F&F franchise should have been.

[@Michael_the_Drunkard]

@@Jezza_C_WT *was until the release of Fast 5

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

I’m surprised a 300ZX never got a starring role, but I’m glad because I still want to pick one up some day at a decent price.

[@lifeofa200sx7]

that tunnel scene idea would probably fly in the newer movies LOL

[@zacharyjohnigan4291]

Still didn’t answer where you confiscated those rims from?

[@LowBoostFilms]

I’m laughing and crying watching this just picturing you explaining how awful that is to John Singleton.

[@osvaldosideman]

Great Chanel, Please keep “em coming

[@MyNameIsCorey]

Tyrese was simply going for style than anything when designing that car I'm surprised the producers went with it

[@BuddhaC5]

Camaro and challenger looked amazing

[@tanyguch_kun1330]

you used to say it was a part of your dream list along with the lancer oz rally edition lol

[@palpitateguy5764]

man you are correct, if they proceeded with the upside down scene im sure it would kill the series just by 2nd installment
