The SHOCKING real story behind Mischief 3000

[@kolo909]

“you signed a contract, you can’t use footage of our event!” Must’ve felt amazing to point out you never did!

[@gene8172]

kolo909 Shoulda responded “Find your copy of the signed contract and call us back.”

[@superspeeders]

What a great story! No idea they snuck in to Gumball. Makes sense why they changed the DVD though. Glad to see he is posting stuff on KZbin again.

[@BerchCerp]

[@EdBolian]

It's me. There are a few people with access to the VINwiki account but if you see a comment from me, it is really me.

[@pwrightisright8611]

"...which I thought was funny but I knew we were in a lot of trouble." is the kind of thing that will be on my tombstone.

[@HapticNoise]

It's always an interesting concept to me when entities like Gumball, who organize events inherently designed to break the law, wind up suing other people in court. It's even more interesting to me when they actually win

[@SherLock55]

Just greed really, they saw the film and obviously it was in the contract to not film and redistribute but even after realising they weren't apart of the event officially and nothing signed they still tried to sue. Fucking rich people lol.

[@TheeGlocktopus]

They didn't win. There was a settlement. They just wanted to hurt Mischief for clowning on them. They spent far more than the ~200k mischief spent on the lawsuits. They lost money.

[@EdBolian]

It was so cool to get to spend some time with Dustin and here these stories. When these came out we had very little automotive entertainment. Mischief was the stuff of legend!

[@GulfCoastGoPro]

Had no idea this even existed, but I had to pick up a copy! Looks amazing

[@MrSam88473]

This has to be my favorite vinwiki story thus far. I remember watching the mischief movies when they first came out. Amazing stuff and well done Dustin and Dado!

[@EdBolian]

Lonman content would be epic. That 996 GT2 was mind blowing to see in action.

[@marcoVGpolo]

God, I remember saving up little bits of money from chores and shit to buy Mischief and Super Speeders. Fun times

[@mischieftelevision]

I had a blast Ed! I'm looking forward to hanging out again! - Dustin

[@rfeyman3682]

Strange, now the Gumball 3000 practically encourages their participants to film everything. No shortage of videos on the Gumball 3000 these days! Techademics still has some of the hardest content out there. Mischief Invasion is my favorite.

[@typedrew]

I have an OG copy that still works and I thank you for the many great years of content. Dado's M3 is the most iconic thing about the Gumball. They should have paid you.

[@thof8287]

Rob I think is his name from England with the silver 996GT2 was also iconic in the mischief series.

[@brettbilger1390]

This was Genesis of car enthusiasm for me. So cool to see Dustin on here. I had no idea they got away with this without paying the entry. Given the rest of their antics, I should have expected no less.

[@greengorilla1518]

Prolly wpulda saved them alot of money to just pay the 20g entry fee. Hahaha. Maybe have a homoe film from the ojtsode amd blur out some trademark shot.

[@ycnexu]

Kinda ironic that Gumball's organizers played the hand "you have violated the law and we will sue with the help of our gov and lawyers", while these amazing guys outgumballed them in the true renegade fashion.

[@fulltanghalo]

We probably watched Mischief 3000 more than 40 times when I was in high school. I still have the original dvd as well as the box set I picked up later on, great stuff.

[@GimliTehDwarf]

I used to love these dvds I had them all in high school...I mean the yellow m3 doing donuts outside the capital building is what America is all about. Great story! Do more with Dustin...I'm sure hes got a million stories!

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

remember when they had to hide on the side of freeway and got flat tyres from the thorns lol

[@ibflyinjakes.3127]

You guys are awesome! One of the best pulled off, just go with the flow and see how far you get, stories I’ve heard. Gumball does actually owe you a lot of credit for their popularity!

[@publicparkingentertainment1461]

What shocks me the most is the amount of money Gumball made throughout the event yet they still felt the need to try an take out the little people. Smh

[@mort7987]

To add insult to injury the organizers were already super wealthy people 😂 nothing lost from this to be real

[@Johnny_OSG]

Because that's how you make revenue as a wealthy person - abuse the fact that you have more power. Got to feel that on my own skin when I was working in the luxury yacht industry and our clients left unhappy when we delivered perfect quality product

[@switchcars]

Now I have to go check my copy of the DVD to see which one I have!

[@MrSam88473]

Same here wow that was so long ago its some where in my mother basement. What a great back story!

that movie is what turned me on to GB3000 especially the scene with the cops chasing the bikes while clearly the M3 was doing 150 ...

Mischief 3000 was so legendary, so awesome that we got to know some extra backstory from it, especially since it was a catalyst in my love for exotics!

[@nx2kdet]

Still remember the Mischief crew back in the day, they were one of the main reasons I got into the car scene right out of high school. Dustin and Dado have always been super cool dudes to talk to have stories for days. Awesome to hear the full story.

I actually bought the video the next day on Amazon. The pic on Amazon showed the Gumball logo on the hood on the front of the DVD case, but when the video came it was the Mischief logo. I love it! Great retro music and cars. The only thing I was disappointed in was that it didn't touch on the fact that you snuck in and weren't suppose to be there. Hopefully you have that footage somewhere and you can make a sequel.
