If you guys didn't know, the main reason they stuck with Mitsubishi instead of the skyline is because they copied a Japanese movie and the main character drove a Mitsubishi eclipse, so when they copied that movie, they stuck to what was on that movie.
Een relatie is niks meer dan een gratis hoerenklant i just like the stripes i’m gonna put them on my bmw e46 m3 cuz the model of the car is very similar to r34 and it will look amazing
@Een relatie is niks meer dan een gratis hoerenklant He probably means how they both have a boxy look instead of something with more curves like an M4 or Supra. Not to mention the headlights are similar with their rectangular shape. Yes you would never mistake one for another but it doesn't take a genius to draw similarities between the two.
Considering that the English had them before the "muscle car" term existed, even calling the stripes "muscle car stripes" is a bit... off the mark. AC had them before the Shelby deal.
I love how this guy basically talks about how stupid the production team were for this franchise 😂 seems like you were the only rational member of the entire team dude, respect to you for putting your foot down when you needed to 👌🏼
Am I the only asshole who kinda liked the "muscle car stripes" on the silver GTR? Probably. But then again, I'm also one of the [apparently few] people who really liked the idea of the Nissan-powered Mustang in _Tokyo Drift._
Lol the gtr was the car I liked, but fell in love with after that intro scene where brian drove to the meet! The tail lights (and I actually liked the blue neon under the car) and the shots in the dark... wow to this day still... wow!
but the gtr is would not be the car for the job .i prefer it as a competitor car for the short race while the lancer is more competitive and the car for the job.its not used for the jobs because its appearance and its performance.the thing is made for racing but not heist jobs
Craig, thanks for sharing all of this info. It's fun and interesting to learn the behind the scenes work especially about iconic cars like these. Also, I lol'd at your commentary regarding the paint and stripes.
Lol, people were hating him for not into the stripes are in the sense of "Reject reality, embrace the Family!" I mean, yeah! One: it's a movie and Two: people has different taste, be it no paintjobs on skylines, well suited design for ones or just free-degrees ones made by non-car people kind of artists. But also, it's his car! He has rights to say his things, it's not like he's sending death threats to people who disagrees with him
Ive been thinking about tuning again lately as I used to all the time when I was in college. This channel has relit that fire I had for tuners back then. Thanks dude.
I know what you mean about muscle car stuff on an import, but I think the stripes kinda work on the GT-R... at least it's not like putting a Hurst pistol grip shifter on it😂
I first watched this film when I was like 5 and this started my passion for cars. I always liked the skyline but being from England I'd never seen a muscle car before an import and we had the max power era when I was a kid so it looked great to me.
Hey Craig, I just wanted to say thanks for making these videos. It's so interesting how you have the same taste in modifications as a lot of today's tuners when it comes to JDM cars and how the movies took it to a whole another level of weird when it came to cosmetics. I would've love to have seen the cars the way you wanted them to look like. Anyways thanks again for the huge fan service
Brian’s sliver grt with muscle car stripes is iconic and for you to say it looked stupid has me questioning your judgement of baddassness! I cant believe you sold yours! 😭😭these cars are amazing once built
“I convinced Universal that audio/visual is a big part of the tuner community.” DUDE thank you so much! When this came out on DVD I had just gotten a 5.1 Dolby surround sound system and this was hands down my favorite movie to utilize the amazing sound quality. The scene where Brian is weaving through traffic to Ludacris’s “Act A Fool” was my first experience with ASMR lol. Just can’t get enough
Mr Lieberman, first Thanks you so much for all the work you put into theses cars and showing it to us from A to Z with all of theses crazy footage. Definitely subscribed and i wish you the best for your youtube chanel sir. Much respect !
Lol I understand the disgust at the car cosmetics but back in the day that stuff was super cool and to this day still is to some people. The skyline looked like something you could create in a videogame which is why fans loved it
I had no idea that my home town local Nissan dealership (Middlehurst) supplied some parts for this film. That's awesome. It's in the North West of England near liverpool (a town called st helens) 🙂
Craig, thank you for putting up these videos. They have answered so many questions I've had but also given so many cool details on this movie. You done a maad job.
Getting your point of view on this is a great insight. Your videos answered alot of nagging questions I had when watching the series. Like "why is the Skyline not the main car?"....ohhhh, Mitsubishi money.
Thank You man. And IMO, I fell in love with the car because of how it looked, sounded and performed in the movie so the stripes were pretty awesome. (I was around 5 years old at the time) and guess what, i still love the movie look. [Your look of the car was also pretty damn awesome] And those people who didn't like the movie and cars are either eating their words or living with heavy regret considering how iconic these cars are now.
Holy God. Thank you for making my day. I would say childhood, but I was about 14 or so when the first movie came out, maybe 13. Either way, fantastic job, and thank you for documenting this.
I am so glad I found this channel. I have always loved the F&F franchise, despite the hilarious Hollywood interpretations. They're just fun to watch and I love cars. I love the things you point out and getting the behind the scenes info. Subbed.
4:00 Craig mate, I disagree with you about the muscle car stripes. Down this way in New Zealand, car culture is predominantly Ford vs Holden (GM) V8's. Having the Skyline with the bold racing stripes gave it cred amongst the bogan street racers down here, where the Supra Gladiator looked too Ricer, the Skyline looked buff and aggressive.
Paintjob basically goes like this If you weren't insane about cars or you were a child when this movie came out, then you thought this paintjob looked cool. But if you worked on cars for a living or you were heavy in the tuning scene when this movie came out, then you thought this was the Antichrist on wheels.
This guy bought Skyline GTR for 48k in 2003-04, that's a bargain for a beast. Today each cost more than 350k each if you find one in good or even great condition.
Another awesome video, and congrats on 40K subscribers Craig, I subbed when you had about a thousand. By the was I can remember seeing 2F2F in theaters, I saw 2F2F then snuck into Bad Boys 2, both Miami based movies lol
As a real street racer at the time not one fast car ever ever had a big stereo system they didnt even have interiors to them let alone all the show pieces the cars in these movies had
When this car showed up on the screen I was pumped. Then I'm looking at the stripes and the side panel paint and I'm like WTF. I'm with you io the stripes Craig. Great video
@@glocky1999 fuck yourself you lazy twat. Craig already explained almost everything at this point. Invest some time before asking stupid questions. And what else can be explained about the prelude?
I didn't even realise they were muscle car stripes, and would agree if it didn't have the stutter stripes on the side. I feel like those really tied the whole livery together now, kinda like the dude's rug.
Craig: I hate the stripes and graphics on the car.
Everyone else: this is what I want to do with a skyline
If you saw what the Skyline looked like when Craig had it. You wished they kept the skyline the way he had it.
I'm looking at doing a reverse of this. It's going to be silver on blue, and it's going to be on a WRX. I just put the deposit on the wrap today and sent over the photos. We'll see what the mock up looks like, and if I like it, I should have it on by this time next week!

4:00 Craig mate, I disagree with you about the muscle car stripes. Down this way in New Zealand, car culture is predominantly Ford vs Holden (GM) V8's. Having the Skyline with the bold racing stripes gave it cred amongst the bogan street racers down here, where the Supra Gladiator looked too Ricer, the Skyline looked buff and aggressive.
In Europe we call them racing stripes anyway.
@@Mcquiz95 that's what I said, yeah
Paintjob basically goes like this
If you weren't insane about cars or you were a child when this movie came out, then you thought this paintjob looked cool.
But if you worked on cars for a living or you were heavy in the tuning scene when this movie came out, then you thought this was the Antichrist on wheels.
I think the two stripes compliment the silver color and look better than just one stripe. Usually you put them on the sides for JDM.
This guy bought Skyline GTR for 48k in 2003-04, that's a bargain for a beast. Today each cost more than 350k each if you find one in good or even great condition.
The way gtr looks with the decals its iconic and I feel like its the only tuner car that can do it right
Mikkel Holmes bmw looks nice with these exact stripes
You handled it well . especially being 2000s and the bodykit slight drop era
Those stripes is now the most iconic livery in every game
Bro those stripes is what made us love the skyline. Admit it without 2 fast 2 furious none of us would of even known what a skyline is
Another awesome video, and congrats on 40K subscribers Craig, I subbed when you had about a thousand. By the was I can remember seeing 2F2F in theaters, I saw 2F2F then snuck into Bad Boys 2, both Miami based movies lol
this is a very informative rant. i like it
As a real street racer at the time not one fast car ever ever had a big stereo system they didnt even have interiors to them let alone all the show pieces the cars in these movies had
Exactly my old civic was gutted out had dash and seats and a cup holder everything else was unnecessary
It would look like shit in movies
*"Weight reduction bro"*
When this car showed up on the screen I was pumped. Then I'm looking at the stripes and the side panel paint and I'm like WTF. I'm with you io the stripes Craig. Great video
Those audio systems and extra TV''s they used to put on back in the day was to much added extra weight 🤔
great episode brother!
LMFAO ... now we know the truth about the stripes!
@MetalHeadZ Ug33k
Can u do a video on the prelude “how Brian got his skyline”
Manuel Ruiz Checkout Craig’s Instagram page, he posted info of those cars
It's on the film
Can you look at his channel before asking questions?
Alexander Butler fuck u
@@glocky1999 fuck yourself you lazy twat. Craig already explained almost everything at this point. Invest some time before asking stupid questions. And what else can be explained about the prelude?
The amount of attention to detail and money going into the GTRs for seconds, if any, screen time. Mad!
That’s crazy, 2F2F is my favorite from the franchise
I didn't even realise they were muscle car stripes, and would agree if it didn't have the stutter stripes on the side. I feel like those really tied the whole livery together now, kinda like the dude's rug.
16 year old me really liked the the skylines paint and graphics. And I still do. (At least for a movie car.)
