My Time Working on the Fast & Furious Movies

Hey Craig, greetings from the UK. I'd be interested and wishing to know if you would do a video on the casts favorite cars and how people such as Paul walker took to them or even cars from the films, from what you seen on the set or even what they where like with the cars such as if they actually could drive them well or knew much about them?. This maybe interesting for some and maybe something you might want to do. Hope to hear from you soon. Ton

[@lukeyboy01]

He's done a few videos on cars from the films. Plus, the casts favourite cars he would have to contact them all. Most probably wouldn't even reply etc. Think first. It's not like he's got vin diesels phone number 😂

[@H2kPat0]

I'm so happy that you started this KZbin channel, love the real facts!

[@EsenbekAliev_]

basically Craig was leaving a life of 99% of car enthusiasts could just dream about :D

[@jacobcornelius1278]

Just glad he’s cool AF about it and willing to do these videos

[@nicholascrow8133]

"you can't polish a turd" As a fellow former exa owner I concur 😂😂😂

Thank you Craig for your stories and experiences.

[@craiglieberman]

Thanks for listening

[@ioriOki]

My parents and grandparents absolutely detested my hobby, and now I get a step closer to live my dream every day! You're an inspiration... even though you didn't suggest a Miata as the hero car.

[@dancearoundtheworld5360]

at some point you dont listen to your parents

[@RegionalRadioShackManager]

I think they detested the Miata 😂

[@Hydraav2]

The Miata was not a “cool” car back in the early 2000’s. It is now, but back then people were yet to appreciate its brilliance.

[@traviswalker8933]

The Miata was considered a hair dresser's car in the tuner culture back in the early 2000s, people looked down upon them and had no respect for them like the Boxster. They only started to get the recognition they deserve these days.

[@courtneyjagoda6368]

Lmao Miatas are still a joke what are you talking about.

[@michaelb6729]

[@ec6933]

I remember going to see 2 fast 2 furious opening night at age 15 at the mall with me and my 3 of my friends. One friend couldn't go because it was rated PG-13 and his parents wouldn't let him. Man what a time to be alive some of the best memories everyone was so excited before cell phones and really before internet got super popular. What I wouldn't give to go back.

[@gordroberge3824]

In the 50s & 60s Customizer George Barris was also a Technical & Script Advisor on movies & TV shows. He knew how cars should look/portray & consulted in car part lingo in scripts at a time when Directors & Producers didn't know how. Love your Channel Craig "CHEERS"

[@smitashelke4667]

I jut found this channel randomly last year and I have been watching since

[@maddogart5133]

Amazing content glad you got to be a part of that its amazing 👏

[@alexmastrangelo301]

You've lived an awesome life. Great video, so interesting.

[@Eric5ohhh]

Love watching your videos Craig, I grew up with F&F like a lot of other people it’s amazing to see and hear things first hand. I’m a set dresser for films in NYC and it’s always crazy to hear stories about other productions, especially ones that you’ve come to love so much

[@craiglieberman]

Thanks 👍

[@RealRabbit1124]

The franchise would’ve done better if the film makers would’ve been more accurate... It’s almost a joke going back to watch the movies after learning about how cars really work.

Great Video Craig! Loved it. Oh and loved the Mercury Capri, lol... had several of those over the years... haha

That's an impressive history you have with cars, I have to take my hat of for this man, respect and admiration to you Craig you're a legend in the car world, you're my inspiration and the guy I look up to since i love and have a passion for cars.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Yeah man,to be honest I underestimated Craig before seeing this video Now have a new found respect 👍

[@daygon128]

It's so crazy that the Universal's ignorance/stupidity about tuner cars (useless body kits, over the top paint and graphics, cheap Chinese performance parts, and heavy stereo systems) ended up shaping an entire car culture that lasts to this day. Tokyo Drift was the most accurate representation of real tuner car culture that I've seen (aside from maybe Initial D.)

[@traphouse3436]

When i was smaller thought these logos are the best details to a good design , now i understand... they were just a trade of

Your life is incredibly interesting. It's cool you got to experience it. Enjoy your content

[@pjsneeringer5942]

Never heard your story before, great to hear

[@AmeerHamza-nv2ei]

First! Hey Craig I haven't seen any pics of fast 4 240sx interior. Was it modified in the interior? Also which one of the 3 240sx's would you rather have? Blue 240sx 2f 2f? Lettys 240sx fast 1? Or fast 4 240sx?

[@paulcarmi8130]

I think I can guess what your favorite car might be

[@VernonDraws]

I wish they could do a full remake of the fast series and start all over again but this time stay with the Tuner culture. We need tuner culture to come back! We're sick of EV this and Cross that. We need a franchise that will make tuning cars popular again

[@grease430]

Yes no musle cars pure tuners and lots of races

[@RedSet_Diancie]

Allow me to introduce myself.jpg

[@jeepnutscotty]

The Nissan EXA in Australia was a Turbo and came with the CA18DET…. It was a little weapon and quickly became a cult car known to beat V8’s at the time after a few common mods

[@vdochev]

Let's not forget that the Fast and Furious also inspired the Need for Speed games at that time. And all that thanks to this Legend right here!

[@greenlavaproductions]

Craig I’m glad how consistently thorough you are and continue to correct the misnomers.

[@paulmcadam6825]

Greetings from Guyana, South America. Excellent post and information! Proud owner of an Integra Type R, Escort Cosworth and MR2 Turbo. Looking forward to your JDM car reviews.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Australia had the same Ca18de Exa We never officially had the gtir, they were grey imports that gradually came in from the late 90s

[@Mikey62866]

Love your channel Craig, Waddy from NOS was a freind of mine, It was nice to hear him mentioned in thsi video. I still have his tunes for my Big shot plate on my Camaro. He was truly a nice guy. Last time i saw him was about 5 years ago at Nitrous Supply when him and Mike Thermos were in i believe Seal Beach... anyways i was very sad to hear he passed, As i'm sure you were as well. If you every spent any time with him, You loved him... Keep up the great content. -Mike

[@Firestorm.aiRClan]

Love this Craig. A regular tuner just like us getting head hunted to create some of the most iconic cars still to this day.

[@paschallhouston]

Love your KZbin channel Mr. Craig. Really appreciate you talking and sharing your life with us about the cars you use to drive and your work as a technical advisor on the Fast movies!

[@tips4truckers252]

Craig, its crazy how your stories never get old.

Any communication about Art n Motion U guys had the best cars... Being a lot like u my area was void of the import scene... When my vehicle pick as an extra for Fast and Furious 2..... WOW

[@mikeydluffy2718]

Thanks Craig not only the usual informative gold mine of facts but how it all began as well. Funny that I saw a Peterson museum referenced earlier today. One of the cars on display there is Suki's pink S2000 from 2F2F. The paint had somewhat faded over the past 2 decades.

[@dronexfun8469]

Success is when preparation meets opportunity.

[@MegasXLR]

How did you get the money to buy a Supra or a GT-R when you were 30-35 years old? I mean, what jobs did you have back then?

[@moviegear]

Answer wouldn't help you to do the same.

[@craiglieberman]

The Supra cost me $24,000 USD back then. Even mediocre new cars today are up over $40,000. I had a job as Executive Director for NIRA back then -- I mentioned that in this video.

[@sasukeuchihaanbucapt]

[@trackpackgt877]

Hector is going to be running 3 Honda civics with spoon engines and on top of that he just came into harrys and bought 3 T66 turbos with NOS and a motec system exhaust!!! lol couldn't help myself still love the first 3 movies!!

[@boostinturbskee5385]

Craig, I was on the south leg of super street tour the year you brought the maxima out and drove it on tour. I found some old vids I recorded of riding up 95 together, and you standing in the back of a Box truck at hot wheels in jaxs telling us about the hurricane we were going to be driving through. Since Nopi nationals and the Super Street Tour existed because of the movie, you ever thought about discussing the experience of the tour and nationals on the channel?

[@The--Ghostspider66]

Hell of a journey craig Im amazed

[@adamthompson6669]

Hi Craig great video and I truly appreciate what you have done for all of us car fans and fast and furious fans. I’ve learnt a lot from your channel and enjoyed so much of your content. Also it’s still cool that you had a cameos at drag wars as the starter 😜 🚗 👍. R I P Paul too still sad 😢. Thank you again Craig.

[@TCadillacM]

Awesome video Craig!!!!! You have an awesome history. you are a car god!!!

[@wingerfan1]

You are so awesome. Thanks for sharing all of this stuff with us including your journey. I am always fascinated about a cars journey especially picture cars. I think it would be a bit of comedy/informative/fun to see you do a video or two where you review viewers rides and give an opinion. You sir are a legend!

[@xsspeed419]

Great video craig! Your editing skills have evolved greatly and they truly are like watching a time capsule. I never thought as a kid watching this movie that I would later get this far behind the scenes! Keep up the great work

[@negativeindustrial]

This was the topic I was waiting on. Thanks, Craig.

[@niceprince]

I spent most of my childhood reading the forums and having conversations about many of these places you worked. By chance was your Supra ever on the cover page of a forum called S.R.O?

[@NN-pr8ru]

sir you're a legend

[@YOEL_44]

Don't thank us for the views, thank you for the service, what you're doing is great for preservation and might also help a lot of replica builders out there. I don't have the money for replicas myself, but I try to replicate them in videogames, and I find myself pausing and rolling through your videos time and time again until I find the closest parts, colors and designs.

[@JRthepyroguy]

Hope to see your magic in a different movie in the future. Love your channel.

[@bayareacopwatch8713]

I wish F&F kept Cohen around for the 4th sequel because the first one was the best script. I think after F&F 4, the franchise took a radical direction

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

I was aware of some things you told in this video, by watching your other videos for quite some time now. Also learned some new stuff, so interesting to see how it all went down for you. Thnx so much for these videos! First 3 F&F are gold! 4 and 5 are then the 2nd best to me. After it, it became less for me but still decent/amusing-ish movies.

[@aaronzx10r]

You worked Richard Petty in there, I live down the street from him here in NC.

[@moviegear]

God thank you for this big big cool and clever real man Craig! What a legend and dream job/life! Big respects from Russia!

[@swaysim12]

You should make a video of all the cars you owned

[@stevenwatts586]

Would you ever think about producing your own “car guy” not necessarily with the faf formula but actual realistic car/race movie?

[@bhcamaro2002]

I can imagine Craig got pulled over often, nice list of cars minus the pulsar 😂

[@Technoirz]

I actually had the same poster no joke, I remember those wheels very well, I even bought the same wheels for my maxima at the time. Racing harts

[@sonnywhitaker6196]

The first F&F film got me into cars. It's a shame the script didn't take from more of your expertise, because those movies gave me some ill-advised impressions in my more impressionable years, and rewatching some of those scenes ("DANGER TO MANIFOLD") is laughable now. Still, I love the franchise and I love your channel.

[@briantincher9284]

I remember Super Shops. Im fortunate because I live in Ohio and while we dont have the Southern California car scene...we do have Jegs and Summit racing. So thats good.

[@knightfall91]

Awesome video thanks for the history man great work and keep it up

[@turbotommyguns]

Craig, I have a question that you would be perfect to ask. I have always wondered why no other movie studio has ever tried to build a franchise like the F&F? I mean competitors see the amount of dollars made, but make no attempt at car culture movies. The argument can be made for Need for Speed, but again, it never franchised. Thoughts?

[@brianburkhard5209]

Star wars, rocky, terminator, star trek. There's just a few.
