16:41 Johnny Tran's polo shirt also turns into a tank top for the rest of the race.

[@FrancisMarcosGaming]

He probably wore the tank top underneath his polo shirt which he removed off-screen

[@powcar91]

Weight reduction

[@malrofo]

Wow good catch

[@williambolton013]

He got hot dude 😂

[@Jorge.Painkiller]

There's one thing about the Tran vs Jesse race. Brian tells Jesse that there's $100k under the hood. IRL even in today's money $100k would be enough to not only smoke the Jetta, but to smoke any other car in that movie, maybe even the Charger

[@jeremyweems4916]

Not Hector's civics with spoon engines with motech exhausts.

[@trumpet444]

Although I knew almost nothing about car engines when I first saw this movie, I still knew that the floorboard falling out after the warning on the laptop made no sense. Still love this movie

[@Phenixzero]

7:18 That part when I was young, I cant help but wonder, doesn't Brain's floor fall off from his car, so when Dom jumps on his car, his foot should step right through the floor, right? XD XD

[@TonyVainosky]

"I see fire & sparks here" took me out 😂😂😂💀

[@skylined5534]

"sparksth" 😂

[@AmariMaahes]

HAHAHAHA😂😂😂😂

[@Damidas]

I bet whoever Craig was talking about said it exactly like that too lol

[@USAirsoft]

I always wondered what that wire was under the Eclipse! Thank you for clearing that up.

[@bones977]

Missed the mistake of the opening scene of the eclipse and the 7 speed gear box. lol. Car shifts 7 times. Love it.

[@zchris87v80]

The memes of the 40 speed transmission for these movies were great

[@hardcoreep]

MoTeC exhaust. Always gets me.

[@Mart77]

I am actually planning to get a metal plaque of MoTeC to rivet it onto my car's exhaust tip

[@DeerbrookSouthernRR]

@@Mart77are you running a Honda civic with a spoon engine and a t66 turbo with nos?

It's those three Hectors, they're always pulling stunts like that!

[@mattwalker5852]

Craig brother i love these videos, I'm battling stage 4 colon cancer and i look forward to your video's to always see whats next. Great content brother !!!

[@Busta-mb8kw]

Keep battling dude 💪🏼 you got this

[@Jay_Jay87]

I was thought it was cringe the floor plate felt out and dom still sat in the car with no problem.

[@Lopez_the_heavy]

I was about to say the same 🤔🤯

[@Lopez_the_heavy]

“You ARE in my good graces, but you ain’t keeping your car…”

[@obeseperson]

Why is that cringe? What have you guys done with the word cringe

[@DJxCasper]

8:28 I always told myself that line hanging under the car was from the nos that was installed earlier that day since he was in a rush, it didn’t need to look good, just needed to function

[@Average_CoD_Clips]

I just saw the meme of Dom telling Johnny Tran “No brakes, couldn’t stop.” Instead of “Car Wash.” Jesse’s Jetta really had no calipers/pads in that shot. xD

[@SarahnTuned]

5:00 I always wanted to know if the Lightning smacked the curb when nose dived like that coming to a stop, it looks like it did.

[@laryizroda]

In the movie you can actually hear the impact.

[@AriesExtras]

danger to manifold has always been one of my favorite scenes lol

[@Stormtrooper_Accuracy]

Omg @8:27 that scene always drove me nuts seeing that hanging wire.

[@jakobh6257]

Always appreciate these videos

[@nicholascrow8133]

It's funny how at the time us car guys laughed at the movie but over time have come to love it for all the cheesiness and inaccuracies. I almost wonder if it would hold the same place in our hearts if it was a more accurate car movie...

[@FrozenSolidM5]

Not a chance, Tokyo drift is the most "accurate" movie and its the least liked movie of the franchise

[@nicholascrow8133]

@@FrozenSolidM5 Exactly, we love it for it's memeness!

[@bluephoenix383]

Yeah I loved the first movie because of all the cheesy lines. I'd be at cars meets with my friends and we'd all be acting a fool resightin lines 😂

[@CarlDraper]

i like this channel but i still think all the Fast series are utterly stupid movies, but then i didn't grow up with them, i grew up with Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball etc

[@garymapes6955]

Tokoyo drift is my favorite one

[@davisentertain]

I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention the simple supra roof removal. I would have never known that was really simplified for the movie without owning one.

[@integrafreak1]

You got the laughing gas leaking in the house

[@guts311]

Lol wut

[@Ben_Jones]

Laughter helps keep things light.

That made it more entertaining, the laughter sounded so sarcastic 🤌

[@tips4truckers252]

I love this even though I heard almost all in previous videos. Crazy to think how much of an influence this has had on culture in the past 23 years.

[@vermontvermont9292]

I had always wondered what that silver tube was on the eclipse. You can see it very well during the car meet.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Wasn't that the MoTec exhaust?

[@officialhyasat9536]

2 fast 2 furious next please!

[@skylined5534]

The mistakes: the entire film 😂

[@gcntech9071]

Most people won't notice mistakes or technical stuff in movies! Nice to see another video Craig!

[@stuartstogdill2406]

Everyone noticed the glaring mistakes all these movies made.

[@obeseperson]

@@stuartstogdill2406only car guys did because you guys have no suspension of disbelief, you always act like everything in movies has to be correct lol

[@usbisf5l771]

I always thought that line you see under the eclipse was the nitrous feed line.. I had a similar line on my camaro

[@EvoDad87]

I had a 420a NA 2g eclipse all through high school (2003-2006) because of this movie. (I didn’t have the $ for a GS-T or GSX) If you gave her “the beans” all the way through the gears- I’d be shifting INTO 4th @ 100mph, and on a nice long straight it would do ALMOST 130mph. I vividly remember doing just over 125-127mph a dozen or more times in that car. (Still don’t know how I’m alive) I know it’s no 140 in a stadium parking lot😜 BUT for what the car was, I was a pretty happy with its performance as a kid in high school😜👌🏼 My friends and I have lots of fun stories and memories in that car. I later bought and built a 2g GS-T over the years which is on my channel- only the sell years later and buy my 2006 Evo 9👌🏼 safe to say your behind the scenes guidance in the first 3 movies made a huge impact on my life growing up. I wanna thank you for that😁👍🏼

[@DareToBeDeviant]

My Eclipse fishtails when stopping too hard just like it does in the hands of Brian in this movie. No idea what that's all about. New tires + new brakes and rotors. It's not from going _fast_ or anything, just having to stop on a dime when some asshole up front in traffic makes a turn without signaling or pulls out of a parking lot without checking if things are clear. Solution to this third shift worker is to not be out when the sun is. People suck. Nice to hear you claimed a GS-T. Seemingly around the mid-2000s almost every 2G has been trashed by all owners under age 50 so buying "used" really meant blown gaskets, rings, cracked, dented, or missing body panels, vacuum leak, destroyed turbo... with a gratuitous 240K miles on the clock.

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Very interesting like always Craig 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@pepitodpez7303]

I always wondered what that little ball thing was that shot out. It's a stun thing? Aside from that what I love about these videos is going back and learning the hidden little things and the facts about what got me into a culture I love.

[@J0hnnyTruant]

Its a tranquilizer dart.

[@station992]

I saw this movie as a kid and i will see it only as that, is an amazing movie and a car enthusiast can chill about it because this was pure fun pure street racing dreams

[@anonymousinc6330]

As a former trucker, I actually love these movies in spite of their lack of realism. I'll point out other mistakes not obvious to most people. The opening scene container 'electronics' are obviously empty boxes supplied by the manufacturer, set in the container for appearances. While the cargo and its value needs to be obvious to the audience, no shipper loads a container like that, especially with high-value cargo that can move around. An actual load would have been stacked on pallets, tightly wrapped in plastic, with the pallets wedged tightly against each other, with straps or load locks to keep them from moving. I'm also not sure how common it is for dock workers in a major port like Los Angeles to load a container. They certainly wouldn't have loaded it as shown in the film. Actual electronics loaded as shown would have been thrown all over the place and damaged the first time the driver swerved to warn Dom's crew away. Also, swerving a truck like that with a loaded high-cube container at highway speed is a guaranteed rollover. Those shots were done at low speed with an empty container and sped up. Continuing, if you look closely, the trailer frame was raised for the actual hijacking so that the Civics could clear. A stock 1995 Honda Civic is 50.9 - 51.7 inches tall. A 295/75R22.5 truck tire is 39.9 inches tall, and most semi trailer tandem frames sit between the very tops of the tires to keep a typical 110" trailer roof at 13'6", leaving maybe 31 inches of clearance. The average lowering kit for a 1995 Civic only affords about 2.5 inches, and the stock ground clearance is only 4 inches. Therefore, it's not physically possible to lower a Civic (or any other bread-and-butter production car, for that matter) sufficiently to do this. Even a stock GT-40 wouldn't fit, as its name denotes its height of 40 inches from the ground (supposedly a 1960s LeMans requirement). Even a Caterham R400 (essentially a Lotus 7) isn't likely to fit at 31.5 inches without lowering. While the trucker that shoots Vince being armed is believable, a handgun would have been far more believable. Semi-auto pistols commonly hold 7-15 rounds, and it's far easier to eject a magazine from a semi-auto pistol, insert a fresh one, and chamber a round if necessary, than to fumble with getting two shotgun shells aligned with the barrels of a shotgun, especially while trying to keep a 40-ton tractor-trailer under control. It's also far-fetched that Vince could have taken a shotgun shell or slug at close range and lived to tell about it. The first and second shots blew multiple large holes in the hood, which would have breached the radiator, destroyed the fan clutch and shredded the water pump drive belt. That area may also have contained the truck's intercooler, as most commercial diesels are turbocharged. No truck goes very far with that kind of damage, and no truck driver is going to risk a $30,000 engine by shooting their own radiator, especially when under attack. Road pirates don't leave live witnesses. Also interesting is that the third, fourth and fifth shots are obviously slugs. And truthfully, no car stands a chance against a semi. Especially with a bull-bar. That truck could have easily run all three of them off the road without a shot fired. In short, hijacking anything bigger than what you're driving while it's rolling, is not only unfeasible, it's stupid. You're not going to win, if you survive at all.

[@andydhillon1977]

Cool info! Thanks for sharing!

[@DareToBeDeviant]

Every time I've seen the movie (or any other) is how much damage would cost in real life. In this case, what the devil would a semi driver say to his/her boss after unloading several shots into the vehicle? Mechanical _and_ body damage + recklessness. That'd be more than just a slap on the wrist. How does discipline go in that line of work?

[@anonymousinc6330]

@@DareToBeDeviant Great point also. But to be fair, that was a Peterbilt 379, an expensive tractor (yes, the actual name is road tractor, hence the name tractor-trailer), and more common with owner ops that have a lot more on the line than a company driver. Either way, the smart play would have been to use a handgun or taser and wait until he was in the cab to light him up.

[@DareToBeDeviant]

@@anonymousinc6330 Thanks for the input. Just FYI ~ Byrna "pistols" has been popular with truck drivers in the last decade. Out there be road ragers looking for a fight or other hot headed truckers at a rest stop thinking violence is the only answer. Whip out a Byrna (as told by one driver) and suddenly that stops the other guy. Legal everywhere, too. I'm a casual 2A guy myself and know all about permit reciprocity but am very rusty when it comes to your line of work. If you're the home-every-day guy who stays in-state then sure, but not so much for the over-the-road guys who take loads from coast to coast and practically LIVE in the back cab area.

[@anonymousinc6330]

@@DareToBeDeviant Yeah, I can definitely see that. Not everyone knows they're available though.

but danger to manifold gave us memes and general comedy gold for 20 years so i'm good with that :D

Love your videos on Fast 1, Craig. This movie and it's cars has a special place in my heart. I feel like I'm reliving my early teenage years watching your vids, listening to your stories and info. All of them are GOLD.

Not double clutching like your supposed to that gets me every time!! The Dom gets in the blown up eclipse with no floor lmao!!!

[@DandTplaycommander]

In the race wars scene Tran changes from a sleeved shirt to a beater in a span of a few seconds.

[@andydhillon1977]

9:04 What kind of setup did they use for this scene? Obviously no engine and it looks pretty stiff. Was it a gutted Eclipse or a mocked up car to look like an Eclipse? Also, for some reason I recall seeing chains attached to the chassis to keep it from flipping over during the explosion. I don't see them in the clip you posted though. Awesome video. I love hearing these back-stories!

It always bugged me that they never caught the hose dragging under the eclipse! It doesn’t seem too hard to yell “cut” and fix it with a few zip ties and do another take

[@bodydropped85]

Seeing it in theaters 23 years ago, we just assumed it was a hastily installed nitrous line

[@HondaFit4Adventure]

@4:09 What about the reverse lights coming on while the eclipse was spinning out 😅

Hi from Thailand . Love your videos.. Keep them coming

[@xdemon5015]

0:41 - "Did you know the average driver gets 9 traffic tickets in their life time?"...That was me in just my first 6 months of having a license (not even kidding) 😅. 10+ years later, glad I matured as a driver and would maybe accumulated about 3 in the last 7 years.

[@davidrocha1419]

I always thought the braided line / cable under the eclipse was the fake Nos, because you see it after he says "I Need Nos". Also in the beginning of the 4 way race one of the eclipse stunt cars has the rear neon visible instead of tucked under the back bumper like the others lol

[@jetstreamdefalpha5411]

[@beinghappy1312]

[@BillGuldenschuh]

In the police chase scene when Dominic is walking from the parking deck, the police car passing by is a Ford Crown Victoria P71. When the scene shows the cop coming back around to stop him, it's Chevrolet Caprice 9C1.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I guess i wasn't subscribed until now, i've watched all your videos. Not only is F & F a cult classic, it's probably the most important car movie ever made, it shaped an entire generation of drivers. It took the california car scene and made it a world car scene. Everyone was into imports after this movie.

[@Mega-G-Star]

Imports as you call them were big in the 1970’s from WRC. America was just slow to catch on.

[@AleksandrPapeko]

One of the best racing movies. I wish they actually listened to your technical advice. This movie would have been so much better!

[@konnod321]

[@MrOscarLong]

How did you get rid of that neck fat from the early 2000s? Truly amazing!

[@eddherring4972]

I bet if these vids were released for the 3rd move onwards they’d have a longer running length than the actual movies, they are that absurd.

[@HAWGGY85]

What about granny-shifting and double-clutching? :)

[@nateh8796]

I recently found that an F14 Tomcat was in the background in the first race scene

[@skylined5534]

Don't forget where Johnny and Lance are roughing Ted up they refer to motor oil as a 'fifty weight' - The 'W' stands for Winter 😂

[@JunkCCCP]

Ehhh, what else would you call it? Fifty what?

[@MudGoose]

Can you find the Honda Accord convertible? It was an "extra" car but we see it like 4 times in the 1st movie

When you see the parts for the Supra, you will notice that a Supra needs 10 spark pluggs ;)

[@aciidbeard1381]

Wow this whole time i thought the pro hose, was O'Conner didnt hang his neon correctly and that was a neon tube hanging down.

[@sumimasenpanda]

8:28 i was always disturbed by that wire

[@Atem_S.]

Holyshit, all of these and I never noticed.. and I saw the movie so many times I lost count!

[@cckiller0053]

2:38 When I first saw this movie, I thought the truck driver got shot by a tranquilizer dart and he ends up falling asleep a few seconds later.

[@Ryoneftw]

Another great video Craig, but as many errors the movie may have, it's still one of the golden gems of automotive culture. Mainly what got many of us into it in the first place. Plus, as a Spanish viewer, I can tell you most of us didn't even realize about the errors because they were either sort of masked in dubbing, or we couldn't even read English in the first place.

[@soopainfinite]

I'm pretty sure everyone saw that wire/hose sticking out on the bottom of the eclipse...LoL... my friends and I always thought that's some poor nos installation... haha

[@Thebigdog_1984]

Also the trailer loses a whole axle, it's got two axles when leaving the docks / port / whatever - during the hi-jack it's only got one.

[@peterthomson6161]

The truck stunt was based on what I did on Route 91 and was witnessed by John Singleton. I assume the stunt director got it from John.

[@U.F.0.]

I saw it opening night....the parking lot looked like a car show

[@fly_with_t.y.5654]

Can you also explain the 2fast 2furious prelude how did Brian/paul walker get the 3000gt?!

[@weston1211]

Good stuff Craig!

[@bogdanBut]

Hey Craig, you forgot to mention that at the start of the race when they all shift into 1st gear, the camera focuses on their hands and they are white..all 4..while ja rule isn't 😅

[@jth_printed_designs]

Whenever people would say “fast and furious isn’t what it was originally” I point out that the first movie was about people doing heists with grappling hooks and jumping on semi trucks. The second movie had a street race where a draw bridge was used as a jump, and a dukes of hazard style jump onto a yacht. F&F has ALWAYS been an action movie franchise, not a street racing franchise

[@mathewmorrison4907]

Yeah I get that but now it’s like a avengers James Bond style movie where in the first movies it’s “normal guys fighting” vs in the last few they are taking on 40 trained soldiers with head scissor take downs and martial arts or when the charger hits the truck in the first one and flips dom is noticeably banged up vs in one of the last ones he flies through the air at 80 miles an hour and catches a girl and crashes into a windshield but is completely fine it doesn’t make much sense lol but I do get it it is a movie and it has to evolve into that to be still relevant for todays standards

[@DirtyGarageTx]

Lmfak the Apple Store joke 😂😂😂I see what you did there

[@PACKERMAN2077]

The exposed pneumatic line underneath the front bumper always just looks like an oil cooler

[@JeffBrown781]

Those whistle tips were just for decoration, man.

[@c_lo01]

I always wondered what that huge cable was. (Edit)Spoon engines with turbos. Yea thats not how that works.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Brian would also end up laughing when the NOS lines would flop around after splitting. I've always believed that Paul Walker didn't know schitt about cars and this guy just proved it. Where the heck did all these Paul Walker fans get the idea that he was a genuine motorhead even before the movie?

[@biggiefitz6275]

After working on cars for 20+ years, I still wait to see a floor board shoot off of a car. lol

[@TOSKrew]

In the garage scene where they catch Brian in the garage. All the cars in the air have Pirelli HP tires on them. Those tires were ONLY sold at Sears and Sears Auto Centers.

[@AutoYoung]

10:32 Craig, are you losing your mind in your old age? It’s a 2JZ, that’s correct. And that’s all he said. He didn’t specify if it was a GE or a GTE. So what’s funny. What Jesse said made all the sense in the world…

[@par0l]

I mean, there could have been a spoiler alert or something.. ..jk great video 😂

[@tahustvedt]

You'd think people who want to make a tuner car movie would be interested enough in the subject to know the basics.

[@brendankohler1000]

The worst for me was the floor board falling away. 😂😂

[@andydhillon1977]

I like watching that scene with a good surround sound stereo system. They did a good job making it sound like it's flying by us.

[@ijsbrand_2JZ]

What? I missed that upside-down-Toyota-logo. Gotta watch it again :-D

[@mentalstig]

Wht turned the flames green when the eclipse burns

[@DarthVader-1701]

Probably Barium(green fire), like they use to turn Fireworks Green.

Also in the chase scene with the bikes you can see all the bullet holes going outward and not inward.
