FAST and FURIOUS 4 - Beginning, Gas Scene (Grand National GNX vs Gas Truck)

The Fast and The Furious IV (2009)
Opening scene car chase, Dom with his crew are hijacking gas truck / trailer.
1987 Buick Grand National GNX - Dom Toretto / Vin Diesel
Production team built 8 of these cars.and installed CNC slide brakes and Wilwood calipers in the rear to help facilitate stunt demands. Also the cars were slightly lowered. No actual GNXs were harmed in the making of the film. Some of the cars used were built-up Regals.
The Buick GNX was a hot rod version of the sleepy Buick Regal, and was claimed as the fastest production car ever built at the time. The all black appearance of the car also earned it the nickname “the Darth Vader car.”
1967 Chevrolet heist truck - Han Lue / Sung Kang
In the movie, it's supposed to be a diesel, but in reality it's powered by a gas-burning 502 cc V8.
1989 Chevrolet R-3500 Crew Cab - Tego / Tego Calderon
Was built on Crew Cab truck original chassis with double semi truck working rear axles. 572cc V8, 672hp and 2 x NOS
1981 Peterbilt 359 - Truck Driver / Alejandro Patino
Big truck fall down the cliff and go BOOM

[@patrickm5217]

@PKD Orion Tokyo Drift is a fan favourite (with some people) but it made the least amount of money. Universal took a gamble trying to save production costs by using unknown actors but in the end it fell far short of target numbers. It took less money to produce (they saved millions on casting) but also made less money at the box office. After Tokyo Drift flopped at the box office Universal considered killing off the franchise but went back on their mistake and rehired the original actors for #4

For me fast 4 is the one that changed the dinamic of the franchise. It was after Letty's death that "family" becomes what Dom wishes to protect at all cost, it's his way to go.

[@sneakers6128]

As soon as a trailer is uncoupled wouldn't the spring brakes come on that are pneumatically released... Although not much in this scene aligns with basic physics or reality.

[@Henzzman]

not to mention,that there are two tanker trailers coupled to each of those modified pickup trucks,probably around 20-30 tons each,which means around 60 tons for each pickup.

[@matthew_natividad]

Would he also feel the load lighten up a bit?

[@themidnighttavern6784]

​@@HenzzmanThe math isn't mathing my dude. From my understanding, a fully loaded truck and trailer is about 60 thousand lbs. Fuel weighs a lot, but those tankers are both shorter, and narrower in terms of exterior dimensions. So I'm willing to be maybe around 15 to 20,000 lbs per trailer. Modern trucks can haul over 30,000 lbs for extended periods of time with zero issues. So I imagine pickups heavily modified for this specific task would be fine.

Im no expert in physics but surly the truck driver should of felt a difference in weight and realised something was up after the first 2 tankers went before realising Letty was there?

[@MultiKlip1]

After the two first trailer being break off, there would have been a major leak in the air brake circuit causing all brake to be activated... The whole truck would have made an emergency braking, that is a safety feature (no air=full brake)

[@chevy383jt]

Letty would have been screwed after Dom hit the trailer with the car. The rear axle was bent very badly, then suddenly it was straight again. Magic

[@amberknight7301]

So if you look at that scene more carefully, it was actually the axle on the tank that Rico and Tego were attached to, not the one that Letty was holding onto, that got broken. You can see from the shot at exactly 4:39 that Dom's car is facing the same way as the tank that just got its axle broken. As we see in the next scene, Dom is driving in reverse and he turned around before he hit the truck, so the trailer that Letty was holding onto must be behind him in the shot at 4:39. That means the trailer that had its axle broken was the one that was connected to the truck Rico and Tego were driving. Rico and Tego slammed the brakes after the impact, so we presume that trailer was still okay.
