Just shows the gap between reality and what people think is real. This channel is really fascinating. A must-watch for wannabe car modders and tuners. Thanks 👍
12:52 on Italian dub was correct, he say "with ecu of Motec" probably the Italian dub actor was a motorhead guy 🤣 Still a good job Craig, but there are some video about all place of first movie?
It’s a Shame to see how much of Craig’s influence was ignored. Seems like they took advantage of audiences possible lack of knowledge a little too much. Still an enjoyable movie nonetheless. Keep the content coming Craig!
@11:33 It always had borderd me why there where 10 spark plugs laying down, for a 6 cilinder car. And also, who does that? Laying down the spark plugs like that, all pulled out of the packing, while the engine still has to be build
Crazy that this just popped up! I had a big convo last night explaining Just this! Trying to explain the term “advisor “ People we’re going on and on how you knew nothing when in fact it is frustrating as hell when movie and TV people do not listen! Real car people understand and know you know your stuff! I am going to recommend this video in our next video! Check our videos out Craig ! (The NOS BS always bugged me I can only imagine how you felt) Cheers man!(oh we noticed the miata bumper lol)
I like that you are telling it how it is. Yes it ruins the movie every time but truth need to be told! I remember when the movie came out in 2001 but I can't afford it to go to cinemas to watch it and waited 5 or 6 months (maybe more) to get it on rented VHS. I was so stunned by that movie I watched it everyday for 1 month some time even more. I even don't return the VHS so I can have this movie forever... And I was only 7 years old back then. p.s. I have the VHS somewhere hidden
Funny that everyone is mad about fake disks in the Jetta...while the eclipse had it too On the rear wheels. Haven't seen much people talking about it though
That movie is what got me interested in cars. I was 12 when it came out. I didnt know anything about cars. And being a kid then, i did use the term that many car guys including craig hate. NOZ. But ive learned since then and am finally going to school for automotive repair. Still love car, but my tastes have changed over the years.
It's been 20 years ... Wow I was like 4 when I saw the first film and honestly have been into cars ever since (and currently about to build a Time Attack car soon)
Great video again, thanks!! I disagree on 2 things though: The Eclipse could have had a 6-speed gearbox installed and the non-turbo 2JZ engine can be turbocharged
Forget to mention trailer from the semi , at first it has 2 axel then when the civic is under it has only 1 😅😅😅 after that it has 2 again 😂 it's great for 20 years ago . Another thing is wrong in this movie is ja rule act 💩
Good video idea Craig; it might take a few videos and parts, but if possible (copywriter), you should watch the video and point out anything you have info about and talk about it.
All these goofs are half the reason it's a classic. Like Rocky Horror. When the movie came out, all us car guys made fun of it, but then we learned to appreciate the humor and have fun with the whole thing. Now, all the mistakes are part of the experience. I still quote this movie to this day. Even the goofy stuff. I wouldn't change nor correct a thing.
In Russian dub they translated the "Motec Exhaust system" as "Motec System that burns gases(something like an afterburner)", thus explaining the flames from the exhaust they had. It doesn't make any sense, but somehow makes more sense :D
Great video, Craig! I had always gotten a kick out of all the technical quirks and continuity errors that came out of the film. Great to watch the man behind the scenes acknowledge the same things and explain the reasons why. Keep it up sir!
I love your channel. It’s nice to hear someone who actually knows what they’re talking about when they talk cars. 👍🏼 Just want you to Know this movie changed my life haha. 16 when it hit theaters.
I will say i dont care if the wheelie scene was fake and didnt make sense, it was still cool. And the crash scene. Also its a movie. Its for entertainment. Grew up on the movies. Still love watching
Can't speak for anyone else, but the reason I didn't realize that the bumper on the loaded truck was from a Miata, has a lot to do with me not being into imports, at the time. Same with all but one of my friends, who introduced us to what a properly built Supra can really do. Another one, which we met through Joey, had a sick RX7. Now, I'm into both.
I was one of those people who walked out and was saying stuff like , it was all made up mistakes everywhere ...but I still love it. For all the incorrect terms and wrong mechanical talk everyone was loosing their minds opening night. For the first time ever we the car youth were represented well, smart, knowledgeable anld capable.....not just the "how ya doin" greese monkey stereotype. It's showed the world a different side to the car realm. Remember this was way before social media was massive so from that day when I started talking shop in front of someone they would say "so are you like one of those people from the fast and furious" I got that for a good 5 years after it it came out. I did drive a R34 Skyline too so that probably didn't help back then. 🤣🤣.
Great video Craig. I caught about half of the things you pointed out, by the 2nd time I watched the movie. Things like two nitrous systems on the Eclipse, with stand alone fuel management, Motech exhaust, NOS systems increasing top end, LMAO in that one, the burnout wheelie, the Charger flip, and some V8 parts, for an I6, in the Supra. Next time I watched it, I noticed something off with the Civic under trailer scene, skipper back, and spotted the raised 5th wheel. Thank you for sharing that part of your life with us, and giving us even more to look for, in these films. My wife, more of a gearhead than I am, and I try to catch those little moments in movies, not just with cars and bikes, but also with firearms, as we are both competitive shooters. Keep up the good work, we'll keep watching!
Director: hires technical advisor
Also director: ignores advice
"no car guys will watch this movie"
Aged like fine milk.
Still can't believe it's been nearly 20 years since the movie release
the "skyline engine" thing is so fucking funny I wish they put that in just to mess with people
"overnight parts from Japan"
Just shows the gap between reality and what people think is real. This channel is really fascinating. A must-watch for wannabe car modders and tuners. Thanks 👍
That's why technical advisors are required in car films
today I learned that Dom Torreto had to fred flinstone it on his ride back home from the race.
12:52 on Italian dub was correct, he say "with ecu of Motec" probably the Italian dub actor was a motorhead guy 🤣
Still a good job Craig, but there are some video about all place of first movie?
Haha I loved that you called out the miata bumper. It's been one of my favorite bloopers from this franchise.
I got an ad for “FnF 900HP Charger” LEGO replica car toy. Lol google ad game on point.
This dvd is in my car at all times
"Motec system exhaust" sounds like something a poser would say at a car meet lol.
No mention of granny shifting, not double clutching like you should? :-)
It’s a Shame to see how much of Craig’s influence was ignored. Seems like they took advantage of audiences possible lack of knowledge a little too much. Still an enjoyable movie nonetheless. Keep the content coming Craig!
Car topped out at 140 I need NOS!!!🤣
Even with all the screw ups F&F1 still a Favorite!
I love your channel, i think we all already know who you are, can we get a shorter version of the intro👍❤
@11:33 It always had borderd me why there where 10 spark plugs laying down, for a 6 cilinder car. And also, who does that? Laying down the spark plugs like that, all pulled out of the packing, while the engine still has to be build
When I watched the movie in the theater, out of most car related stuff, I liked the car prayer the most. Thank you, Craig for your great work :)

Thank you for making all of this episodes, its really cool to know that much detail about the movies we grew up with!

The video Ive been waiting for. Craig I still need help with building the flux capacitor for my R34
Funny that everyone is mad about fake disks in the Jetta...while the eclipse had it too
On the rear wheels. Haven't seen much people talking about it though

Thanks for all you do Craig we do appreciate your work brother salute from Middlesbrough 🇬🇧
I did a caliper delete on my Jetta, I should have stopped
Good video Craig, haven't watched a video of yours in a while but the quality is rapidly improving throughout your videos. Thumbs up from me 👍
Wonder what the 1/4 was for that famous maxima video against a 911
Forget to mention trailer from the semi , at first it has 2 axel then when the civic is under it has only 1 😅😅😅 after that it has 2 again 😂 it's great for 20 years ago . Another thing is wrong in this movie is ja rule act 💩
Another Banger from the man himself.
Another great video!
lol, i thought for 20 YEARS that nitrous can explode! Now I finally know it's not true thanks to Craig!
Another great video! Love it.
Isn't motec a tuner part company that was slightly known in the early 2000s? They still have a website and seem to mostly make race electronics.
Craig your the man thank you for creating this channel!
2JZ-GE engine no shit
Yet again,interesting video.👍
Thanks...
Love it Craig! Keep it up! This is Justin from Cars For The Cure. I have messaged you on Instagram and hope to hear from you soon!
Great video as always 👌🏻
Great video man like getting to know stuff about the movie cars
I was waiting for a collective video of mistakes.
Nice! Next up next film !
Good video idea Craig; it might take a few videos and parts, but if possible (copywriter), you should watch the video and point out anything you have info about and talk about it.
Thanks Craig
Great video! 👌
can you do it for more movies?
Great video

No matter what this fast and furious was better than any of the new ones all them are all massive errors of trash
Cool
Not first 🤣
First
First ha ha
Ahh finally the video i waited for 😂
what about A couple of Nissan SR20's in a Honda civic, it would pull a premium one week before race wars. huh?
Great video
dam i never notice all these movie mistakes lmao
As a kid watching the movie was kinda proud on my self that I saw that the wrecked Supra had a 2JZ-GE engine. But the other stuff no clue about it :D
All these goofs are half the reason it's a classic. Like Rocky Horror. When the movie came out, all us car guys made fun of it, but then we learned to appreciate the humor and have fun with the whole thing. Now, all the mistakes are part of the experience.

When nitrous hits, they reach trans-warp speed
Great video, Craig! I had always gotten a kick out of all the technical quirks and continuity errors that came out of the film. Great to watch the man behind the scenes acknowledge the same things and explain the reasons why. Keep it up sir!
Forgot about putting T66 turbos on Honda 😂
I love your channel. It’s nice to hear someone who actually knows what they’re talking about when they talk cars. 👍🏼 Just want you to
Know this movie changed my life haha. 16 when it hit theaters.
Craig, the real question is, would that Supra take that Ferrari!? :D
I will say i dont care if the wheelie scene was fake and didnt make sense, it was still cool. And the crash scene. Also its a movie. Its for entertainment. Grew up on the movies. Still love watching
the whole franchise could've been way better if you were the one who directed all the movies lol
This is why I love your channel, 20 years later learning so much stuff about my favourite ar franchise :)
I love all these little details and your feedback!
@7:40 they used 18 speed transmissions,the ones used on 18 wheelers
Craig, you really explained the movie about real and not real scenarios about making the movie impossible to making real as possible.
Hey I love your videos craig
2001...
Can't speak for anyone else, but the reason I didn't realize that the bumper on the loaded truck was from a Miata, has a lot to do with me not being into imports, at the time. Same with all but one of my friends, who introduced us to what a properly built Supra can really do. Another one, which we met through Joey, had a sick RX7.
Now, I'm into both.
My pennies worth...on the first scene with Brian in the Eclipse when it spins out of control the reverse light is on 🧐 trust me watch it on slow mo
Craig, the quality of the information in these videos is fantastic. Thank you so much for your effort.
I like the way you sprinkle in jokes as you're telling the story! You know how to crack me up, Craig👍💥
You've been tickering on cars. Haha love it. Love your channel.
Thanks Craig
Craig any reason you didn't get a cameo in the movie?
Yes I've been waiting for this!
I was one of those people who walked out and was saying stuff like , it was all made up mistakes everywhere ...but I still love it.
For all the incorrect terms and wrong mechanical talk everyone was loosing their minds opening night. For the first time ever we the car youth were represented well, smart, knowledgeable anld capable.....not just the "how ya doin" greese monkey stereotype.

Fast & Furious is serious crime drama
you must revive johny tran character and make a new movie with more cars than action scenes!!!!
Keep up the great work
