I think you guys reviewing non military focused movies could be a huge amount of untapped potential becuase you guys are hilarious. Whether its military based or not, I think you guys should do more civilian action movies!
Damn straight Bing but it's beers and breakdowns Abel take a shot not one is going to kill u or ur progress. R.I.P Paul Walker. Thank u for the car night meets with the fats.
The Wraith is a severely underrated movie. The soundtrack is perfect and the fact that he is armed with a SPAS12 shotty is peak 80s. I think a breakdown of that movie is in order now.
I remember seeing this in theaters in Buena Park, CA and it was absolute chaos in the parking lot afterwards. My first vehicle was a 95.5 Toyota Tacoma and although it wasn't fast, it didn't stop me from living my own Fast and Furious lifestyle after watching this movie 🤣
Why would anyone even attempt that? Think I was around 18 when the movie came out and even in the lowest cars you could tell you ain't gonna fit when you're next to one.
@@Alejo__ yeah but... I'm assuming most people have been on a highway next to a 18 wheeler here. You can just look over and see that shit ain't gonna work out. Even in a lowered convertible Miata, it ain't happening.
First “car” was a 99 GMC Z71. We would pack 8-10 deep in it on the weekends and hop around to all the car meet spots. All my friends had Hondas and other rice burners. They’d spend Monday-Thursday finding cheap roller Civics and Friday night they’d rig some ebay turbo kit on it and Saturday we’d go bust ass around in em. Oh to be 16-19 again.
Oddly enough one of my favorite cars in this movie, was Harry's parts truck, those Ford lightnings were something else. My uncle had a Ford lighting when I was a kid back in the late 90s early thousands, & taught me how to drive in that truck. Man those were good times. Great video as usual guys, enjoy the rest of your summer!
I distinctly remember a lightning that would show up to our local track. All you could hear was the Kenny Belle supercharger. No exhaust...just supercharger 😅
I love this movie, too! Not because of this movie, but I had a 1987 Honda Civic Si hatchback, black on black with all the goodies, bought used from my step-dad It was quick quick quick and really good on gas. I loved that car.
first car was a 95 Ford Probe SE. car was fun as hell to drive and actually looked decent. wish i had kept the car because the body was perfect, but couldn't afford to replace the transmission after i blew it up.
Since you guys are starting to do more police related movies, you should check out Den of Thieves. Awesome and gritty movie that’s shows the police and criminal side of a heist with cool tactical scenes that could provide good breakdown material.
I'm a car guy myself. I was in high school when this movie came out so yeah it pretty much affected my entire adult life lol. From car meets to at one point knowing the entire movie word for word lol
_at one point knowing the entire movie word for word_ (omg) A chimp throwing feeces could remember the dialogue in the movie... Here's a challenge: name each of the songs as their played in the movie. You're fucking lips would fall off.
First Car Sentra Se-R turbocharged, 2nd Mistubishi stairion turbo, 3 B15 Sentra Se-r NA, 4 1989 S13 w RB25 swap, . 5 S13 1992 S13 KA turbo. And then my classic Datsuns
First car - 1959 4 door Dodge Lancer with a flat head 6 and 3 spd on the column. Sold my mini bike for 200 bucks and bought a primer grey dodge for $800 in '71. Loved that car. Since then probably 30+ different cars, mostly Japanese, (Datsuns, Nissans, Toyota's Honda's and Mitsu's). Modified everyone of them. It's all about the look, stance, sound, smell, feel, etc. I'm 67 now and I still modify everything I own. Some people just don't get it. More car video reactions PLEASE.
The semi trailers used in the film were specifically built for the movie and the company that made them, Clement, is based out of my hometown in Louisiana.
My very first car I got was a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, i was 14/15-ish, it was burried more than half way in the mud near a field, no carpeting, no seats, the seats were actually stored in a barn, it took 4 years for me and my dad to work on and fix it up, I did finally get to drive it to school for the last 2 or so weeks before school ended, still have it today and love driving it, that last day of school i was whipping donuts out in the school parking lot and doing burnouts, great times. Other than that, my actual first car I drove throughout highschool was a 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse, I don't want to say it was Fast & the Furious that inspired me to want that car, I can't say for sure, I just remember liking them for whatever reason, I have no clue why lol
First car: '85 Chevy S-10 pickup. Spent almost my entire senior year of HS in auto shop class, putting in a 383 stroker w/ a WC T5. This movie is the reason I now drive a Civic Type-R
1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu, 2 door hardtop, 350 V8, 4 barrel carb, 4 speed Muncie M22 transmission, swivel bucket seats out of an early 70s Monte Carlo(look them up), rear air shocks cause it was jacked up(in vogue at the time), Cragar SST wheels...some other things I can't remember. It was a great car, I was a shitty driver and screwed it up in short order.
I had a 94 Jetta 3 similar to the one in the film. I added a neuspeed suspension and a stabilizer bar. That car was fast, it could corner like a dream and I absolutely loved it! I put over 300-thousand miles on it and then gave it to my nephew who drove it for nearly another 100-thousand miles more! I LOVED that car!
Lordy..... It's finally happening! THIS is gonna be a fast and furious review! 😂 LFG Boyz 🏴🤘🏼 P.S. My first car was a 72 Chevelle Malibu 350. I miss that Heavy Chevy.. 🥹😂
2 things... A. Jesse's Jetta was the most gorgeous car in the movie besides the Charger. I'll die on that hill. B. Just as a suggestion have you guys thought of breaking down parody movies as a way to let off the gas between serious movies? Sgt. Bilko, In the Army now, and Down Periscope are my 3 favorite spoofs.
Around the FF came out, I had a turbo 1991 Ford Escort GT. Lowered 2 inches w/ 17 inch rims, mounded in a 2000 Volvo C70 front bumper lower half to the Ford bumper. Everyone had civics and integras... Escort GTs used Mazda 1.8 twin cam. I had plans to swap a V6 from a Mazda.
First car I ever owned was an 04 Acura Rsx Type S. Absolutely loved that car. Was super fortunate for it to be my very first car and it was what got me into liking cars. I still am waiting for the right opportunity to buy another one. I was hoping you guys would mention what cars you drive now that you aren’t broke teenagers.
I had a 1995 Chrysler Concord, no working A/C, in AZ, the headlights were held on with packing tape, the interior ceiling fabric was all falling down, the driver’s side door handle did not work from the inside, and the driver side window only rolled down halfway, it would lose almost a quart of transmission fluid a day, and if I stopped to long at a light it would smoke from all the oil it was spitting out onto the motor. No system, but the windows had limo tint. It ended up getting impounded and I couldn’t afford to get it out.
First car- 91 Honda Prelude SI. Got it for $500 bucks in high school. When the sun came over the horizon and touched the hood of the car. The AC stopped working until it set in the evening. Like clockwork.
Oh the civic Si electron blue ‘00 I remember hearing it came stock with 160hp and be floored lol now the Si is double that hp, but yeah it was sick! Then when the WRX came out 2002 AWD 220hp , I remember going to a Subaru dealership and this 50 year old dealer telling me that a guy with a Porsche 911 came in and traded it in on a new WRX casue it was so fast. Man I took that line to the bank . Man I loved being a part of the craze! I bought a new 2003 SRT-4 Mopar stage 2 (260hp) and I LOVED it! A Mustang killer with Vioer seats and shifter , Tremec 6 speed and thst moose blow off valve that came with the stage 2 gave me actual sounds from the legendary movie that started it all. What a fun time to be alive! Our 1960’s American Graffiti” my parents experienced. 👍👍
1985 GMC Jimmy 4x4. It was giving to me. Never had insurance or a tag on it. Technically it was never in my name. A few times I would drive it down the road and all of a sudden the front end would kick up. Realized that the front axles were locking up and I had to remove them. Never replaced them. ALSO! I didn’t have keys for it. I started it with a screw driver and I opened the rear tailgate by pushing the mechanism by my finger through a hole in the tailgate.
One thing major to add is at the 45/46 minute mark. When they're discussing all of the idolized cars from the movie and back in the 90's, they say that they're super slow. BUT, those cars still stand to this day as some of the most mechanically sound cars ever made. As long as you don't intentionally abuse them, they could last for freaking ever.
Btw...the 4th gen ('96-'99) Maxima's were really popular as well. The VQ30 engines were pretty bullet proof, as were the manual trannies, there were version with and without LSD's. They would take a turbo or a supercharger no problem and not even blink...there were plenty of aftermarket support for them as well. Me and 4 of my friends all had 4th gen Maximas at one point. You could do a lot with the Maxima...and we did...they were sick. I totalled mine in a race in Brooklyn, my friend had his taken away by NJ PD, cause they found him sitting at a stop light for too long buggin out on shrooms...then later in inpound, they found his hidden motorized box behind the LCD screen, and it smelled like weed in it. The other three were sold at various points.
Everything here is relatable. My first car was 86 Camaro. The Wraith is an amazing movie, I remember watching it when I was a kid. The Wraith car was built by Dodge Plymouth. And I'm surprised you didn't point out that you don't double-clutch when you're going in a straight line. Double clutching is for track cornering.
Love the FNG channel but as a car guy myself, this was great! You need to do more car related reactions - Two Lane Blacktop, Vanishing Point, Le Mans, Bullitt......... Thanks, really enjoyed this.
I had a '97 Civic EX. Even stock it was pretty quick, nimble, and fun to drive. My 1st car was an 87 Jetta. Then totalled it and got a $400 79 Chrysler New Yorker POS.
If Shawn or whatever his name is had been there, he would have been like: "Aaaah no! Hahaha thats definitely NOT how we did car meet-ups and races in SF!"
First car was a 1994 Mustang. V6 but I felt like a king with that thing, especially with it being stick shift. Nowadays my little project is a baby blue 2001 Integra GSR.
My first car was a manual 2004 Honda Civic coupe (in 2015 when I turned 16, so it was not new by any means) with a tiny little spoiler, and a 15 inch kicker sub in the back hahaha
The Wraith is great (for it's time, but still watchable today). The car from that movie was experimental & never came to full production. The Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor had 4 prototypes made in 1981.
Awesome reaction to this movie. Lol one part I always wandered about was Leon yelling over the comms we got cops go..... and all 200 people scattered at the same time...... also it's a 1970 charger in Dom's garage. I just started watching you guys and the content is great!
Awesome breakdown guys! Regarding why Dom raced at the end, I believe even though his friend just died, he also just found out recently that Brian was undercover and was probably going to arrest him for his highway robberies. That was his last 10 seconds of freedom. Or so he thought, since Brian let him go. Also, Dom's car was a Charger, not a Challenger. My first car out of high-school was a used '89 Chevy Camaro RS, 5 speed manual with the V6 lol. I liked it quite a bit until I got into racing. I ended up with a '95 Nissan 240SX S14. At the time, everyone was into Honda and Acura, so I surprised quite a bit of rivals with the S14. The factory US 2.4 liter had quite a bit of torque, even though the peak HP numbers weren't as high as the Acura Integra GSR's, so when it was just intake and exhaust, I would be leaving them behind on the track. People just started finding out about the SR20 swaps, but I liked the 2.4 so much, I had a shop fix up the whole thing from the bottom end up and turbo charging it. The only issue was that there were only factory paper style head gaskets for the 2.4 at the time and that was the weakness of the engine, so a few hard runs was all it took to blow the gasket. The shop went out of business and because everything was so custom, no one else could take over and get it running right. I sold the car to someone else who ended up swapping the engine with an SR20. I miss that car. Anyhow, looking forward to the next breakdown! Take care! 🤙🏼
My first car was a blue 2005 Honda Civic. It was a nice little car while it lasted... I'd watch anything you guys want to react to honestly. I would love to see you break down the tactical parts of The Pacifier.
Buck, I'd like to hear your input on this one, you're uncharacteristically quiet over there.... Buck?...Buck?.... Must be Buck Bueller's day off - but in all seriousness I appreciate the level of knowledge on this one, I was expecting a joke fest instead of the car knowledge bombs (I'm car illiterate)
I’d like to see one where Buck returns and also see some breakdowns of the lethal weapon movies and the other 2 John Wick movies with the a new one coming out in March of next year.
Sean's look on his face during that "Mexico" race was probably the same one Paul's friend had on his while in the passenger seat on that fateful day 😮.
I saw this movie at a drive in when it first released. I was 16 years old and i had a 1980 Chevy Luv. I raced nearly every car that left the drive in that night, and a few later on that weren't even there. Of course I didn't win any, but what a memory.
I drove a Fiero as a teen, and I swear I could get under the semi trailers... I think I just needed about 3 more inches, lol. I still think about it to this day as well! I also owned a Eagle Talon 4wd turbo. I miss that car.
It’s the trailer that use in that scene. You can fit a civic under it. You can tell that they change the trailer on the trucks from when they go under and when they drive next to it
My first car was a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse (I bought it in 1996, so irrelevant to the movie). I then bought a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, a 2006 Nissan 350Z, a 2008 Nissan 370Z a 2010 Honda Civic Si, and then a 2013 Nissan 370Z. I can neither confirm or deny that this movie (and Tokyo Drift, obviously) had a rather large impact on my life as well.
Outstanding review...when I was in high school in Savannah, GA back in the late 80s, an Army Ranger rode a Ninja motorcycle under a semi-truck that had pulled out across the intersection...unsuccessfully (R.I.P.)-- he apparently made it under the semi body but there was a steel rod stretching underneath which decapitated him. The bike continued to ride straight down the road for a quarter mile before wrecking. Definitely don't try these stunts at home. My first car was a '70s AMC Hornet. More recently I owned a black Subaru WRX (bought back when they had mucho power, before they powered them down over the years. I hadn't modded the engine and was planning to keep it forever...until my 17 year old daughter at the time totalled it in an intersection-- not her fault, the other dude turned into her, but man, did that hurt. I walked up and asked, "How's my baby?" to the police on the scene and they said "She's fine, an officer took her home", to which I replied, "NO, I mean the car!" Just kidding--but that did flash through my head. Now I have a 2019 Chevy Camaro 2SS and this time made all the mods I wanted to right from the start...Borla S-Type quad exhaust, Cold Air Inductions cold air intake, all-around ground effects, ceramic'd the paint, etc. When I wash/wax/detail the car, it definitely turns heads and people actually stop walking to watch it drive by. My daughter (yes, I let her drive it) and I visited car meet-ups in the Northern Virginia during COVID when there weren't many cars on the road, and they were a blast. She had connections with a few of the organizers and it was amazing to see how much they were like the Fast & Furious movies. There were attractive young ladies (though not quite model material dressed like in the movies) and at one meet-up where probably 100+ cars were parked with drivers doing burnouts and doughnuts in the middle, a series of beautiful import cars pulled in and parked in a staggered row and the leader got out and his beautiful girlfriend/wife got out of the passenger side, and as the other drivers walked up to the main group I was thinking, " Paul Walker is smiling his ass off somewhere." By the way, with a cold air intake and modified exhaust, you can hear the air being sucked in, and it even whistles a little if you don't install an extra extender part under the hood. I kinda like the little whistle you get at high speeds. ;0) Keep up the great reviews!
I had a busted ass Chevy Cavalier when this came out as well, I had to get rid of my Integra before I lost my license 🤣 first car was 69 Plymouth Satellite.
First Car - 1989 Acura Integra, 2 dr hatchbk, 5 gear stick shift..pop up lights, sunroof..it was old when i got it..but it ran like a champ..for a 4 cyl with DOHC (dual overhead cams)...didnt burn any gas. FWD..and i could do mad donuts in it!!!
in real life many people have trouble not doing "wheel stands" so the fact Dom did it when "he felt like it" is plausible. if that's what lost you then that says more about you my guy 😄
@@koopspook people have trouble not doing wheel stands from a start. Dom does them at speed, at will. Not really plausible. And, it was a laundry list that lost me from this franchise.
76’ ford f-100 custom 😂 column shifter and I tried racing it. Most reliable truck I’ve ever had dude. Still runs perfect and barely over 100,000 on it. Grandpa had it, then my dad, then me
Hi. I am a comic book artist/creator. The film studio and RJ de Vera, who was one of the lead car tuners that consulted for this original Fast and the Furious movie, came to my comic book studio in City of Industry, California, at the time just before this film was released, and my comic art team was considered to provide a graphic novel or comic series for it. The book/series was supposed to expand on the movie by telling the backgrounds on each of the characters. It was a time when the Japanese manga and anime series Initial D was becoming popular in the USA, and the film studio wanted to capture some of that hype. Sadly, the marketing execs were typical suits who didnt "get" comics, manga, or anime. So they killed the budget for the graphic novel/comics. But had it been greenlit, it would have been published alongside the movie's theatrical release.
Definitely remember "The Wraith" with Charles Sheen. The car had Chrysler logo. SMH. Sounded cool. Love the chanel. Love what you guys do. Thank you for your service.
I think you guys reviewing non military focused movies could be a huge amount of untapped potential becuase you guys are hilarious. Whether its military based or not, I think you guys should do more civilian action movies!
I second this 👍👍
Totally agree! For once Able had something to talk about without a deer in the headlights look. Great vid, keep up the great work. Nice blowup Buck...
Pin this!
Damn straight Bing but it's beers and breakdowns Abel take a shot not one is going to kill u or ur progress. R.I.P Paul Walker. Thank u for the car night meets with the fats.
Also there are a ton of movies where characters have "military training" or whatever, that arent strictly military movies
Buck’s been more insightful than usual these last two episodes…
He must have actually watched Terminal List😝
🤣🤣🤣
lmao
The Wraith is a severely underrated movie. The soundtrack is perfect and the fact that he is armed with a SPAS12 shotty is peak 80s.
I think a breakdown of that movie is in order now.
The wraith is fucking great. Charlie Sheen and the director of the notebook. Would love to see a breakdown.
I remember seeing this in theaters in Buena Park, CA and it was absolute chaos in the parking lot afterwards. My first vehicle was a 95.5 Toyota Tacoma and although it wasn't fast, it didn't stop me from living my own Fast and Furious lifestyle after watching this movie 🤣
As someone who drives semi trucks, I have had people attempt to go under the trailer........it DOES NOT work.
Why would anyone even attempt that? Think I was around 18 when the movie came out and even in the lowest cars you could tell you ain't gonna fit when you're next to one.
@@spliffdelakong5422 my only guess is because people live their lives a quarter mile at a time.
Thats because innthe movie that part of the semi trailer was lifted so they could fit the cars lol
@@Alejo__ yeah but... I'm assuming most people have been on a highway next to a 18 wheeler here. You can just look over and see that shit ain't gonna work out. Even in a lowered convertible Miata, it ain't happening.
They were trying to rob you and build up towards taking out the submarine.
This movie was a representation of my early adulthood. Street racing from Palm Spring to Fresno almost every night i wasn't working.
Yall should definitely do reviews for up to Tokyo Drift. I loved the review and your guy’s input. Keep up the great work fellas.
The finest of all the Fast and Furious movies.
Love the banter between you two. Great episode.

They were also prior MARSOC too
cant wait for the sequel. but sheriffs outgunning marsoc marines was not credible.
they already reviewed it

Here's a challenge: name each of the songs as their played in the movie. You're fucking lips would fall off.
Omg,the blow up doll came alive mid roll!
You also used to take nitrous oxide at clubs or raves back then.
There was still music playing in that scene.
Yep, I failed on that one.

now you guys gotta breakdown the rest of the fast and furious movies, i loved this beers and breakdown, more please! maybe need for speed haha
1978 Mustang II. When thing started happening in a hurry the front end was all over the place.
I had a 94 Jetta 3 similar to the one in the film. I added a neuspeed suspension and a stabilizer bar. That car was fast, it could corner like a dream and I absolutely loved it! I put over 300-thousand miles on it and then gave it to my nephew who drove it for nearly another 100-thousand miles more! I LOVED that car!
man I hope you find one similar to it. VW really fell off with the Jetta in the years following this movie
"What is he? Sandwich Crazy" is a quote i want on my gravestone when i pass.
Lordy..... It's finally happening! THIS is gonna be a fast and furious review! 😂 LFG Boyz 🏴🤘🏼
P.S. My first car was a 72 Chevelle Malibu 350. I miss that Heavy Chevy.. 🥹😂
I don't remember the year but that was my older brothers first car lol
I loved that boat. Comfy as hell

The Wraith is epic cheesy 80's!
I had a 1991 Ford Explorer, stick shift. Taught myself stick on that thing and murdered the clutch in a year.
I had a 1995 Chrysler Concord, no working A/C, in AZ, the headlights were held on with packing tape, the interior ceiling fabric was all falling down, the driver’s side door handle did not work from the inside, and the driver side window only rolled down halfway, it would lose almost a quart of transmission fluid a day, and if I stopped to long at a light it would smoke from all the oil it was spitting out onto the motor.

Ontario was wild around the mid 2000s. I remember counting cars one time and stopped at 150 when I gave up.
I live my life a quarter mile at a time!
Cheesy but will always be remembered lol
My first car was a 1963 impala SS that I got after my first deployment from Afghanistan. still have it, still love it lol
My first car was a 91 Geo Storm. Automatic and a POS. But I ran full out everywhere until I literally melted the engine.

1985 GMC Jimmy 4x4. It was giving to me. Never had insurance or a tag on it. Technically it was never in my name. A few times I would drive it down the road and all of a sudden the front end would kick up. Realized that the front axles were locking up and I had to remove them. Never replaced them. ALSO! I didn’t have keys for it. I started it with a screw driver and I opened the rear tailgate by pushing the mechanism by my finger through a hole in the tailgate.
One thing major to add is at the 45/46 minute mark. When they're discussing all of the idolized cars from the movie and back in the 90's, they say that they're super slow. BUT, those cars still stand to this day as some of the most mechanically sound cars ever made. As long as you don't intentionally abuse them, they could last for freaking ever.
Btw...the 4th gen ('96-'99) Maxima's were really popular as well. The VQ30 engines were pretty bullet proof, as were the manual trannies, there were version with and without LSD's. They would take a turbo or a supercharger no problem and not even blink...there were plenty of aftermarket support for them as well. Me and 4 of my friends all had 4th gen Maximas at one point. You could do a lot with the Maxima...and we did...they were sick. I totalled mine in a race in Brooklyn, my friend had his taken away by NJ PD, cause they found him sitting at a stop light for too long buggin out on shrooms...then later in inpound, they found his hidden motorized box behind the LCD screen, and it smelled like weed in it. The other three were sold at various points.
now Nissan fucked it all up and it's basically a luxed-up Altima
Do Fury or Den of Thieves.
Everything here is relatable. My first car was 86 Camaro. The Wraith is an amazing movie, I remember watching it when I was a kid. The Wraith car was built by Dodge Plymouth. And I'm surprised you didn't point out that you don't double-clutch when you're going in a straight line. Double clutching is for track cornering.
Wraith, yes! The car was a real prototype from Chrysler. And old Charlie rides off on an old Honda xr650 dual sport

"I hear ya man...please watch your head"
Love the FNG channel but as a car guy myself, this was great! You need to do more car related reactions - Two Lane Blacktop, Vanishing Point, Le Mans, Bullitt......... Thanks, really enjoyed this.
I had a '97 Civic EX. Even stock it was pretty quick, nimble, and fun to drive.
My 1st car was an 87 Jetta. Then totalled it and got a $400 79 Chrysler New Yorker POS.
If Shawn or whatever his name is had been there, he would have been like: "Aaaah no! Hahaha thats definitely NOT how we did car meet-ups and races in SF!"
My first car was a 1989 Buick Riviera with velvet interior. 2 door, with a digital screen and car phone that still technically worked.
First car was a 1994 Mustang. V6 but I felt like a king with that thing, especially with it being stick shift. Nowadays my little project is a baby blue 2001 Integra GSR.
First car(s) were a white 2002 V6 Malibu w/blue vinyl flames on the side & a black/silver two tone 2002 Eclipse GS!
My first car was a manual 2004 Honda Civic coupe (in 2015 when I turned 16, so it was not new by any means) with a tiny little spoiler, and a 15 inch kicker sub in the back hahaha
The Wraith is great (for it's time, but still watchable today). The car from that movie was experimental & never came to full production. The Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor had 4 prototypes made in 1981.
Awesome reaction to this movie. Lol one part I always wandered about was Leon yelling over the comms we got cops go..... and all 200 people scattered at the same time...... also it's a 1970 charger in Dom's garage. I just started watching you guys and the content is great!
Although they had that little altercation on the Catalina hike, Kurt and Abel make a really good pair. More of these guys together.
Wait. What happened?
The Wraith used a Dodge/Plymouth prototype car and was AMAZING!
1st car was a 1991 Civic Hatch
Awesome breakdown guys! Regarding why Dom raced at the end, I believe even though his friend just died, he also just found out recently that Brian was undercover and was probably going to arrest him for his highway robberies. That was his last 10 seconds of freedom. Or so he thought, since Brian let him go. Also, Dom's car was a Charger, not a Challenger.
My first car out of high-school was a used '89 Chevy Camaro RS, 5 speed manual with the V6 lol. I liked it quite a bit until I got into racing. I ended up with a '95 Nissan 240SX S14. At the time, everyone was into Honda and Acura, so I surprised quite a bit of rivals with the S14. The factory US 2.4 liter had quite a bit of torque, even though the peak HP numbers weren't as high as the Acura Integra GSR's, so when it was just intake and exhaust, I would be leaving them behind on the track. People just started finding out about the SR20 swaps, but I liked the 2.4 so much, I had a shop fix up the whole thing from the bottom end up and turbo charging it. The only issue was that there were only factory paper style head gaskets for the 2.4 at the time and that was the weakness of the engine, so a few hard runs was all it took to blow the gasket. The shop went out of business and because everything was so custom, no one else could take over and get it running right. I sold the car to someone else who ended up swapping the engine with an SR20. I miss that car.
Anyhow, looking forward to the next breakdown! Take care! 🤙🏼
I got my first car in 1998 and it was a 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 Notchback and it was blue. It was an automatic but still a fun car.
My first car was a blue 2005 Honda Civic. It was a nice little car while it lasted... I'd watch anything you guys want to react to honestly. I would love to see you break down the tactical parts of The Pacifier.
Buck, I'd like to hear your input on this one, you're uncharacteristically quiet over there.... Buck?...Buck?.... Must be Buck Bueller's day off - but in all seriousness I appreciate the level of knowledge on this one, I was expecting a joke fest instead of the car knowledge bombs (I'm car illiterate)
Sean Hayes it when you call him buck
@@iliasamar2837 who’s Sean Hayes?
He’s saying enough with his arms. “Would you just look at it!” Lol
@@wildeninja2836 i meant says* 💀
@@wildeninja2836 he only beat Dom by "THIS MUCH" lol..
My first car was a '86 5.0 Mustang, which happened to be a retired state patrol interceptor.
Do the whole Fast and Furious series! Loved the commentary, and I'd like more, please
I’d like to see one where Buck returns and also see some breakdowns of the lethal weapon movies and the other 2 John Wick movies with the a new one coming out in March of next year.
"The Wraith" is an awesome movie. 10/10
Agreed!
Sean's look on his face during that "Mexico" race was probably the same one Paul's friend had on his while in the passenger seat on that fateful day 😮.
When I saw the footage of that red E46 in one of Buck's older vids I knew he had a good crowd to hang with.
I saw this movie at a drive in when it first released. I was 16 years old and i had a 1980 Chevy Luv. I raced nearly every car that left the drive in that night, and a few later on that weren't even there. Of course I didn't win any, but what a memory.
I drove a Fiero as a teen, and I swear I could get under the semi trailers... I think I just needed about 3 more inches, lol. I still think about it to this day as well! I also owned a Eagle Talon 4wd turbo. I miss that car.
You should def do Tokyo drift to. From a pure tuner car perspective its probably the best of the bunch.
It’s the trailer that use in that scene. You can fit a civic under it. You can tell that they change the trailer on the trucks from when they go under and when they drive next to it
My first car was a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse (I bought it in 1996, so irrelevant to the movie). I then bought a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, a 2006 Nissan 350Z, a 2008 Nissan 370Z a 2010 Honda Civic Si, and then a 2013 Nissan 370Z. I can neither confirm or deny that this movie (and Tokyo Drift, obviously) had a rather large impact on my life as well.
TROPIC THUNDER for the next fun breakdown!
31:15, I think you might be confusing the green car in FF with the big, green dinosaur in Jurassic Park...lol
Usually i watch videos on 1.5-2x speed but im doing normal speed for this one😂
Outstanding review...when I was in high school in Savannah, GA back in the late 80s, an Army Ranger rode a Ninja motorcycle under a semi-truck that had pulled out across the intersection...unsuccessfully (R.I.P.)-- he apparently made it under the semi body but there was a steel rod stretching underneath which decapitated him. The bike continued to ride straight down the road for a quarter mile before wrecking. Definitely don't try these stunts at home.
My first car was a '70s AMC Hornet. More recently I owned a black Subaru WRX (bought back when they had mucho power, before they powered them down over the years. I hadn't modded the engine and was planning to keep it forever...until my 17 year old daughter at the time totalled it in an intersection-- not her fault, the other dude turned into her, but man, did that hurt. I walked up and asked, "How's my baby?" to the police on the scene and they said "She's fine, an officer took her home", to which I replied, "NO, I mean the car!" Just kidding--but that did flash through my head.
Now I have a 2019 Chevy Camaro 2SS and this time made all the mods I wanted to right from the start...Borla S-Type quad exhaust, Cold Air Inductions cold air intake, all-around ground effects, ceramic'd the paint, etc. When I wash/wax/detail the car, it definitely turns heads and people actually stop walking to watch it drive by. My daughter (yes, I let her drive it) and I visited car meet-ups in the Northern Virginia during COVID when there weren't many cars on the road, and they were a blast. She had connections with a few of the organizers and it was amazing to see how much they were like the Fast & Furious movies. There were attractive young ladies (though not quite model material dressed like in the movies) and at one meet-up where probably 100+ cars were parked with drivers doing burnouts and doughnuts in the middle, a series of beautiful import cars pulled in and parked in a staggered row and the leader got out and his beautiful girlfriend/wife got out of the passenger side, and as the other drivers walked up to the main group I was thinking, " Paul Walker is smiling his ass off somewhere." By the way, with a cold air intake and modified exhaust, you can hear the air being sucked in, and it even whistles a little if you don't install an extra extender part under the hood. I kinda like the little whistle you get at high speeds. ;0) Keep up the great reviews!
I thunk the Civics WERE Stock in this movie. I believe it was Craig Lieberman who mentioned it on his channel.
The first car I owned was a 1996 Lincoln Towncar, I was the fav DD in my unit. Car was so comfy.
I had a busted ass Chevy Cavalier when this came out as well, I had to get rid of my Integra before I lost my license 🤣 first car was 69 Plymouth Satellite.
First Car - 1989 Acura Integra, 2 dr hatchbk, 5 gear stick shift..pop up lights, sunroof..it was old when i got it..but it ran like a champ..for a 4 cyl with DOHC (dual overhead cams)...didnt burn any gas. FWD..and i could do mad donuts in it!!!
What lost me in this franchise was when Dom started doing wheel stands whenever he felt like it.
in real life many people have trouble not doing "wheel stands" so the fact Dom did it when "he felt like it" is plausible. if that's what lost you then that says more about you my guy 😄
@@koopspook people have trouble not doing wheel stands from a start. Dom does them at speed, at will. Not really plausible. And, it was a laundry list that lost me from this franchise.
First car, 1989 Hyundai excel, blew the engine at the grocery store with a car full of groceries.
76’ ford f-100 custom 😂 column shifter and I tried racing it. Most reliable truck I’ve ever had dude. Still runs perfect and barely over 100,000 on it. Grandpa had it, then my dad, then me
Hi. I am a comic book artist/creator. The film studio and RJ de Vera, who was one of the lead car tuners that consulted for this original Fast and the Furious movie, came to my comic book studio in City of Industry, California, at the time just before this film was released, and my comic art team was considered to provide a graphic novel or comic series for it. The book/series was supposed to expand on the movie by telling the backgrounds on each of the characters. It was a time when the Japanese manga and anime series Initial D was becoming popular in the USA, and the film studio wanted to capture some of that hype. Sadly, the marketing execs were typical suits who didnt "get" comics, manga, or anime. So they killed the budget for the graphic novel/comics. But had it been greenlit, it would have been published alongside the movie's theatrical release.
My first car (still) is a Candy Apple red 1978 Camero z/28. Which is a Hand Me Down.
I added Matte Black 18inch "American Racing" rims.
The Wraith was a great flick. The care was a Dodge prototype, I believe. Charlie Sheen was the younger brother of the "Wraith"
Definitely remember "The Wraith" with Charles Sheen. The car had Chrysler logo. SMH. Sounded cool. Love the chanel. Love what you guys do. Thank you for your service.
This was a great episode! First car was a 94 Ford Probe. Totaled it and got a 93 accord and then saved up for EM1. 2000 Si black
I also fullfiled a dream when i got stationed at Kadena and was able to buy a japanese 97 Prelude. Silver with no spoiler, clean af
"You never had me! You never had your car!" 🤣
1st free car, 1988 Ford Escort hatch. 1st paid for, 1990 Cavalier coupe.
Also, first car was a 1968 Ford Cortina. Amaaaaazing.
I re-watched The Wraith as a grown man and it is still awesome.
I loved Brian's eclipse too...now I have 2 GS-Ts, 2 4G63Ts and like 3 transmissions and 1 car runs 😭 lol
I usually enjoy you guys reviewing military movies but this one right here was a banger! Please review more car/tuner/race movies!
