alxM3 he was hype becuase he just put 10k or whatever it was into the supra Brian got from then junkyard and he wanted brian to pay him back with money they win from the supra smoking everything they could have fit a few races in no doubt but guess it just didn't happen and by night vin was about to boost that semi and make way more than he would at race wars
It could be as simple as Toretto planned to have Brian race (and bet on him, remember "I gotta make some money off your @$$"). After the event with Jesse losing to Johnny, and the fight that ensued, that put getting Brian to race on the back burner.
Hi Mr Lieberman, I wanted to say that this movie has been a good influence to me, because due to this movie that I've seen a million times, i learned to talk english and listen to the language. Imagine that i learned and memorized every single dialogue as a kid, i was like 8 when they first air it on TV! I loved the cars but didn't understood the plot until a few years later though. Thank you so much and greetings from Argentina!
Real flags happen alot like that now. Now cars needing to build boost and do burnouts etc. Just going go and you'll have people complaining they didn't have enough time to build boost etc.
"That's not authentic, I can't do that; my friends will be watching". Luckily they'd already seen the rest of the movie by the time your scene happened and they'd long since burned out on calling out inaccuracies!
JumpstyleTV i agree that's why i still have visual mods on my 2g eclipse stillen body kit, wings west 3 piece spoiler, chameleon paint etc im not an oem fanboy
Everything "wrong" with the movie is what makes it still fun to watch all these years later. I personally liked the way they started the races in this scene.
Yeah, as much as it doesn’t make sense in real life after explanation, the movie wouldn’t be nearly as good without the Hollywood decisions to increase drama. A lot of the time they know what they’re doing.
These movies are my “Star Wars” or “Lord of the Rings” I don’t care how over the top they are I love them, all of them, 2 Fast actually being my guilty pleasure. Hearing you talk about them like this is amazing and I can’t get enough!! To me like a Star Wars fan getting to talk to George Lucas. Thank you a million times for every video you make!!
I live 5 mins from where they filmed race wars. It’s an air base in Sb. Wish I could have made it that day but I was busy. They had an open invite for background people.
Omg that was you!? I know that's not how you start a race but i loved the look at me, look at me, go thing. Thought it really added to the tension of the race. It was going to end badly no matter how it ended. And your role made it even more tense imo. All these years later I still get stupidly excited for these videos haha.
@@OmniscientVirtuosity sorry but i agree. The first made sense, and even the cars were freaking sick. The cars in tokyo and 2 fast were pretty cool too though. But yeah the first movie is my favorite of the entire franchise
Oh man- memories! Nice Craig👍 Remember when we all got the notification for this over the forum, was supposed to go, but couldn’t make it. Several other SoCal DSM members went, and the 2nd gen silver GSX behind the white car (reggae guys lane) was a member. Yeah, heard it was hotter than heck !! Respect to you for trying to keep it real, but that’s Hollywood. One of my favorite short films is “the last race” which did a good job in how the way things really went down, especially here in southern Cal.
Was Rob Cohen as calm and collected under high pressure situations like race wars, dealing with both personnel and technical matters, as he's credited in the bonus features of the first fast film? Also, one of my favourite things about the first two films is their attention to the car sounds. Regardless of authenticity, they really put you in the driver's seat and in the minds of the driver. Like Rob pointed out in the audio commentary of the first film, the street and drag races last a lot longer than 10 seconds in the movie, but the audience is experiencing everything that goes on, both mentally and physically. - And for the record, yes I'm fully aware that John Singleton directed the second film. Craig, could you do a video on the gathering, recording and editing of vehicle sounds for the films? I'm almost certain that even the cars that were used again in the sequel were fitted with different exhaust notes.
I recently discovered Lieberman’s channel. Was always well aware of his reputation. I’ve read so many of his articles, the guy was always a legend in my mind. I was buried in the tuner scene with a standard for quality engineered parts and a philosophy of “all go with just a little bit of show”. Seems like a hundred years ago. Seeing Lieberman after all these years and it’s like “wow.. we’re not young anymore”. I’m glad he decided to create this channel though, it brings back memories.. and it’s like seeing an old friend.
Craig, again thank you so much for making these. I look forward to every new video that you come out with and smile at these little pieces of gold from the film. I loved the play by play of the back and forth between Rob for your cameo, so cool man, details like that I just love. Every little detail that you might think is boring or "ah no one will care to know this", yes we will! Even for the fact that you listed that the cars you got for Racewars were from your group ArtNmotion - My mouth dropped as I just remembered seeing my favorite poster on my room when I was 13 years old, which was I believe your R34 GTR, blue with the ArtnMotion decal on the windshield, and I believe red accent decals on it. So funny how that one subtitle just ignited that memory but it did - so please keep all the details in these, I've watched literally all of these videos so far and just love every one of them. Cheers man!
2:27 ..... the guy holding the 8mm viewcam, bottom right hand corner of the video, i have the same exact one, but with a 4" screen, still works to this day, found it at local pawn shop for cheap back in the mid 2000's. Good Times
I met you in High School at a FF premier in Arizona, I was 16 and saw the Supra in person. You were incredibly nice and took the time to talk to a couple a 16 year old about the cars and the movie. Great time, and I won’t forget it.
Late asf seeing this comment 😂but honestly cuz nothing like this ever happens in the dino but that would be nice if they were to do another race wars here💯
As a kid I watched 2 Fast 2 Furious the most probably, watching the behind the scenes stuff over and over again when Craig shows up talking about the Evo & Eclipse. I remember when I watched the first film again and the Race Wars scene came up I was like: "Hey it's the car guy who worked on the film!" I kind of had a similar reaction when I found this channel too haha.
You also had some note worthy mini trucks in the series. Skyler's yellow S10 can be seen at Race wars I believe it was the on truck in the shot. In the Prelude Fast and Furious short film you have Steve Platt's Hot Wheels S15. I wanted to go this event, I had heard about it through the grapevine, but had to work. Maybe I can attend the next filming of a Automotive culture phenomenon. Thanks for the stories Craig.
Grew up on these movies. Literally would wear nothing but khakis and white tees just like Vin lol. For the LONGEST time I told people that the drag scene of you looked like Top Gun but everyone said I was "dumb" lol.
That Foxbody Mustang of yours really looked like a boat load of fun and the paint was really nice. Thanks for sharing the journey with us and it's really cool to hear these stories from someone who was truly there!. Stay great and thanks again!. 🙏
The good old days , this movie go me into the automotive industry almost 20 years ago in my 30's now . Thank you for the information about the original frist two movies . Danger to mainfold !!!!! Lol
I remember the trance music in this event in the midnight and this transported me to the 2000s and give me this underground feeling of the race and rave
Awesome video Craig! Learned something I definitely didn't know, also at 6:52 the Security Guard on the right got his nose broken by Dom during the scene where he tried to pull him apart. Totally accidental of course :).
Love love love this movie, it will always hold a place in my heart, no matter how ridiculous it really is. I'll never forget driving my FC Rx-7 to opening night, and more importantly... the drive home. Also, gotta lol a bit at the FD blowing its engine while racing Letty. Just an Rx-7 doing rotary things haha.
Yep--I never thought about heat till I did my first big budget movie in Atl--I was in a simulated 3 piece suit for a while--and off the direct stage was no AC unless you walked 3 blocks away.I remember taking the top part of my outfit off next to the star of the movie and we were pouring sweat.They had to retouch him and I had to sit in front of an industrial fan for several minutes--to dry the sweat off.It was long periods of boredom--heat--waiting--followed by a few minutes a day in nervousness--excitement --etc.
Man, your story telling is a blessing. You sharing that with us with so much details is really interesting, I'm not even a fan of the series but knowing all of the details about cars is a gift. Thank mr lieberman !
Thank you so much for these videos Mr. Lieberman. It's easily one of my favorite movies and it is GREAT that years later we get some insight on all the behind the scenes stuff. Love your videos.
Holy cow!! Another fun fact, during the fight scene between Dom and Johnny or should I say during Dom kicking Johnny’s ass lol, one of the big security guys was hit so hard by Vin Diesel that he broke the guys nose because Vin’s intensity was so high to make the scene look as authentic as possible!!! I don’t remember where I saw this being talked about but I think it may have been in the extra features on the DVD releases from way back in the day!!! Lol
Love these kind of videos as it brings back all the nostalgia from when I was ten years old, back when I didn't care about being accurate to the scene or the car abiding to the laws of physics. It was all about fast cars doing cool stunts and that was it.
Man I’ve been binge watching your channel to do some catching up, but man Craig you remind me of my dad you don’t take shit from anyone and things gotta be done ur way.... I love it LOL
For some reason, when I was little watching these movies, I always remembered the part where the guy waves his fingers and starts the race, I always thought that was such a cool scene
Always wondered if there was more to this scene than what was shown in the movie. We never saw Brian race the Supra to prove himself to Dom or a possibility of Hector racing the Civic after the trip to Harrys. The Racewars scene always seemed overhyped for the little screen time it received.
I was in high school when this came out and had just started driving. I distinctly remember someone standing in front of my 88 Toyota pickup as I raced a ford escort starting the race this exact same way. Man we thought we were cool.
I love Race War and your cameo gave it that extra interest so had you not did the hand thing lol it would have been just another race event in the movie. That thing with the thing" was perfect 🤣
make a video talking about the "scramble" scene in 2f2f, I think, everyone is curious to know about the cars used in the scene and how it was all managed ;)
I think the Jetta is in Montreal, Canada. I saw a tube where they "Reunited" Jesse, or at least Chad Lindberg, with it. Thanks for another great vid. Stay Happy and Healthy
This scene was filmed at the old Norton Airforce Base, now called San Bernardino International airport. I remember when they filmed it, I grew up a couple of miles from there.
These are awesome videos! I live these man. Thank you so much for doing them! That is also cool you got a little time on screen too. You did a lot of work that nobody would ever have known about without these videos.
Never fail to laugh that “the show down in the desert” was actually at the San Bernardino Airport. Those hangars are a dead giveaway to anyone who lives in the area.
I remember seeing a semi raw cut version of The Fast & The Furious back in 2001, it didn’t have any special effects and music tracks on it. The rave scene during race wars was a bunch of people dancing with no background music, just ambient noise was present.
The Honda CRX that pops up in the background of the race wars scene is the CRX from the MTV "True Life: Life of a Street Racer" episode from way back in the day.
I was 8 years old when this movie came out, it made a huge impact on me at that time. It’s super cool to see these videos going into more detail about the movie
In the first and second movie their was a million 2g eclipses in the background and 1 was a hero car the 2g eclipse is my top pick for a car if its the gsx version i currently have a built 95 eclipse so i know how amazing they can look
Love these videos. Glad to see some sort of an "explanation". I remember seeing the previews for FnF1 being excited about it then when it hit the theater, I was actually pissed that I spent the money on it. This coming from a legit "car guy". As mentioned in another of your videos, if you watch it as an action movie and not a car movie, it's not as bad.
2:07 "German Race Wars"
Me: *Nervous laughter*
took about 20 seconds for this to hit me, but when it did it hit like a fucking semi truck lol
🤣🤣🤣
@@kindbrute4640 Even the term race wars hit me
Hmmmmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
"All the drivers were looking at the pretty Asian girls lined up" hahahahhahaha that's so realistic
Wat about that girl stripping at the showers :D
hit who wouldn't??
Hate how hyped up Race wars was through the film and we only see around 5 minutes of it
agreed I though we'd see like a sequence of the supra roasting the competition like this video
ua-cam.com/video/_tELZVQD8bc/v-deo.html
@@renz1013 Yeah, can't believe we never saw Brian's Supra actually race, or anyone besides Letty and Jessie.
At least the RACE WARS part in the first movie is 10x better than the one in FURIOUS 7.
@@zebracherub we seen it race the Ferrari&Charger
Pretty sure it wasn’t that hyped up
"Look at me. Look at me."
But, but.. hot Asian chicks...
“I am the captain now!”
"STOP LOOKING AND RACE DUMBASS"
Me😂😂😂
Asian chicks aren't hot tho......
... hmmm , i disagree , you have your own opinion tho
"To no one's surprise, the Jetta gets gapped..." That was a great line haha.
I never understood how Toretto was so hyped about getting Bryan to race at Race Wars but, once they were there it never happened. 🤔😒 🤷🏻♂️ oh well lol
alxM3 he was hype becuase he just put 10k or whatever it was into the supra Brian got from then junkyard and he wanted brian to pay him back with money they win from the supra smoking everything they could have fit a few races in no doubt but guess it just didn't happen and by night vin was about to boost that semi and make way more than he would at race wars

@@rcairforceone And got a call that a semi loaded with goodies is on the move.
It probably happened off screen
brian most likely raced off screen, since he would've needed money to buy the 3000gt he used in the prelude, and mods for it.
3:40 forget the brake calliper - the decal on the wheel arch changes between TOYO and PIRELLI 😁
lol never saw that

Love these videos man :) glad to have the first hand tales from the series
This part of that movie still gets me hype even after all these years.
Me too!
Love this part!

I love the BT Race Wars music track that plays here.
Rorschachqp seriously I hope one day to have a Supra and play this song while I drive it 😂
This song and the one that plays at the house party "Nurega" by Organic Audio are my favorite.
Actually the Race Wars song wasn't used in this scene, they used Nocturnal Transmission instead.
Nick Wren love that song!
BlackWind they used several songs but the one entitled Race Wars is the one I’m talking about.
So exactly 19 years ago this was filmed, time flies. I was 5 at the time.. This surely impacted my interest in cars :D
Yes!
Movie was filmed between June and September 2000 if I'm not mistaken.
He said they filmed race wars during Sept 17, 2000. So yes 19 years ago today

It was going to end badly no matter how it ended. And your role made it even more tense imo. All these years later I still get stupidly excited for these videos haha.
The truth is that anything after the original film was pure movie BS, I like the first one as it was low budget and honest within reason.

I think the Jetta is in Montreal, Canada. I saw a tube where they "Reunited" Jesse, or at least Chad Lindberg, with it. Thanks for another great vid. Stay Happy and Healthy
This scene was filmed at the old Norton Airforce Base, now called San Bernardino International airport. I remember when they filmed it, I grew up a couple of miles from there.
I always liked that flagman. It's mind blowing it's you lol. Wow awesome!
Your Fast Fam is waiting for you man!!
These are awesome videos! I live these man. Thank you so much for doing them! That is also cool you got a little time on screen too. You did a lot of work that nobody would ever have known about without these videos.
Craig: That's not authentic!
Universal: B-but that's too boring :(
Craig: My friends will laugh.
Universal: Who cares lol.
Never fail to laugh that “the show down in the desert” was actually at the San Bernardino Airport. Those hangars are a dead giveaway to anyone who lives in the area.
I remember seeing a semi raw cut version of The Fast & The Furious back in 2001, it didn’t have any special effects and music tracks on it. The rave scene during race wars was a bunch of people dancing with no background music, just ambient noise was present.
The Honda CRX that pops up in the background of the race wars scene is the CRX from the MTV "True Life: Life of a Street Racer" episode from way back in the day.
I was 8 years old when this movie came out, it made a huge impact on me at that time. It’s super cool to see these videos going into more detail about the movie
I love these videos, great behind the scenes info on these movies.
Cool video, i was at the german racewars but unfortunatly allready had to leave before you held your speech
Nice COD Ghosts logo :)
Thijs Dijkstra thx :)
You should do a video on the intro of the 2F2F movie.
Yeah men i was thinking about that
You mean prelude?
Uhhh, the only thing worse than that would be to do any coverage of the 3rd movie,
I remember hearing you on Matt Farrahs podcast finally got your youtube channel
In the first and second movie their was a million 2g eclipses in the background and 1 was a hero car the 2g eclipse is my top pick for a car if its the gsx version i currently have a built 95 eclipse so i know how amazing they can look
I love these stories.
Love these videos. Glad to see some sort of an "explanation". I remember seeing the previews for FnF1 being excited about it then when it hit the theater, I was actually pissed that I spent the money on it. This coming from a legit "car guy". As mentioned in another of your videos, if you watch it as an action movie and not a car movie, it's not as bad.
