Real Mechanic Breaks Down Inaccurate Movie Scenes 

Pin this shit

They have videos dedicated to FF on their main channel there is no need to reuse them here.

They made it already

It's such trash, the human lifespan is too short to go over everything wrong with those films.

That would've been 100% shop class

"perfectly balanced, as all thing should be"

I like Sandra He is real og LA brat

paul used to be more serious but now he has more fun with the sessions and recording

Much better than the backstreet boy douchebag they still have for some reason

Sandro is the man, Paul is the man.

Please pin this

Being a car enthusiast, I was looking for this comment to see if I was gonna talk about it.

I was going to say the same thing myself. My brother has a 28 T runabout. Great grandpa bough it new, grandpa kept it in the back of the garage, and built a bunch of shaker coils for it. Dad died young, and now Alex has it. We all learned to drive it as kids. We run it off coleman camp fuel and lead additive usually, but it will run off pretty much anything that will burn. I got a kick out of that scene. You'd probably get a lot of pinging running a T on straight moonshine, you would probably want to water the fuel down to about 100 proof or so, and retard the spark like... All of it. But yep. It would definitely run.

Another fun fact, related to yours...The biggest financiers of Prohibition were Big Oil Companies, to force automakers to only run on petroleum products

AFAIK he went the other way around at some point because of religion and being pro prohibition

So they can do burnout wheelies like Dom in fast 1😎 lol😆

It's actually just filled with ramen noodles

yea but Jason's massive pecs balance that mofo out, added to the girl riding shotgun with the massive milk wagons

If it's only as heavy as the car itself, it won't lift the front tires. Plus, there's also two rotary canons on the front that'd help counterbalance more. Not to mention whatever ammunition you have for them.

@@bandana_girl6507 yeah but all that weight is behind the trunk, putting center of gravity way back. sure i didnt account for the guns but those would be like 500 pounds max, MAYBE 1000 with ammo. they're not a solid block of steel like the tomb stone is. plus they're not on the opposite side of the wheels like the block is

kinda impressive that it was only 42

The also destroyed that film. The original is so much bettter.

Correction I had wrong by 10. They used 32

Also they had to make them into EVs to be allowed to drive them in the la underground. The first ev minis

@@Seb-Storm is the king of accurate information. Great work.

he makes me want a 40 of Mickey's

Roll one up.

Great to see them both!

Paul, Sandro, and Angelina are the dream team.

There are several cars that run the odometer backwards. But it's really slow and would take days on a speed where modern plastic gauges would survive

My buddy had an 85 4 runner, which was totalled in a car accident. He out a ton of work into it, rebuilt engine ECT. So he purchased the car back, and got another one with a out 2k more miles. Just for fun, while we had the engine out, we tried running a drill on the soeedo cable, and it did lower it. We looked a zip tie to the drill handle, and took a break working on the car, and after 2 hours, it only dropped like 50 miles. Fyi, in my state, odometer is only recorded for the first 10 years.

​@@felixchausyou could try the electric drill one

@@antoniohagopian213 Oh sorry, I edited my text. And yes I have tried the drill one and it didn't work. In few hours it took only less than few hundred miles and the gauge started to make a klicking sound even when running to the correct way. On a gauge that had a broken speedo I tried running the drill on full speed and the lack of bearings melted the plastic on the numbers axle.

Yeah it will only not work on newer cars.

That was my thought. He said "It's technically correct. It's just not how we would say it." Well she is an alien and look at how her father talks, so I think it's smart writing.

Agree!!!!!!

They need to watch the movie.

I came to comment they needed to watch the movie for it to make sense.

They are not aliens. They are from the south of France.

i work in collision repair and i’ve only ever seen a vehicle break in half three times. first time was a pickup that had a horribly rusted body so when it got rear ended, the bed just separated from the cab. other two times were sedans- one was a challenger that slammed into the back of a box truck while running from the cops & broke in half from the force. the other was a sedan (i don’t remember make/model) who was hit in the front left rear well after running a red light (also running from the cops). technically the car didn’t break in half but it catapulted the engine several hundred feet away. i’m sure you’ll be surprised to hear that everyone in these accidents survived- the guy in the sedan had a broken leg and the girl driving the challenger became a paraplegic but she’s lucky considering she slammed into a stationary box truck going over 100mph without a seatbelt on (there’s dashcam footage of the events leading up to the crash & the aftermath and you can hear the cops immediately call for an ambulance and said to have the coroner on standby bc he was sure she died. the state this all happened in requires a medical professional to confirm death before a coroner can be sent out, which is why the cop said to keep coroner on standby)

I saw a nascar split in half during my first in person nascar race, was pretty cool.

@@dylaroo24 how? that would mean the roll cage broke as well, no?

@@damp2269 it was so long ago, I can’t exactly remember how, I just remember seeing half a nascar being lifted on to the back of truck and taken off the track.

@@damp2269 The race was Pocono, sometime around 2007-8. The car was some kind of blue decal, I can remember the number or driver. I just remember seeing the car being driven away by truck, the crash happened on the back straight so I didn’t see the crash itself, only the car being taken away and seeing it pop out from around turn 3. I was at the finish line from my seat.

Absolutely....for the boys:D

And that blonde guy makes it almost unwatchable. Great balance

Only here for Sandro 🤘 For tha Boyz

Sandro is my fave.

​@@Furko08 whos that

"Are we doing this the right way or are we doing it for the boys?"

Such a great combo of humor and expertise

I was going to say this. The Coneheads were aliens and didn't do (or say) things conventionally, which is what makes it a comedy. I still remember that scene where the husband and wife were talking in bed and the camera slowly panned out to show they were standing against a wall instead of laying in bed. Good stuff.

You have great sentence structure

Thank you ..they definitely missed the comedy aspect of the movie👍

Coneheads is a classic... I remember my little cousin blurting out "My dad buys that kind of gum! He keeps it in a drawer with moms hand massagers."

I haven't been in many shops, but the shops I have seen that have alignment capabilities use light, not radio. Basically you put reflectors on the front wheels in front of the machine then turn the wheels back and forth and it will tell you all you need to know on the computer.

I think a counter argument to this would be, based on how the movie portrayed the daughter, she would be the one least likely to have a more alien way of communicating. If that scene was her dad it would 100% make more sense. With the daughter spending her entire life on Earth her communication would/should match that of humans...as did everything else about her.

@@rdroodypoo A good point, I would counter that though with normally she is trying to fit in, in these scene she is not wanting to be taken advantage of. She normally avoids conflicts but here where she is facing one and without being accustom to it defaults to what she has seen most, like her father. But to be fair I think I'm splitting hairs with my counter argument.

I don't know much about the H1, but i know a lot about the hummer it's based on. If it's the same set up in that scenario it would hang with that ferrari. Bigass truck, all the weight in the front, can easily be pushed to 80-90 mph, especially down hill (you ain't stopping though), vs a light car that's bouncing all over the place, can't keep speed because of the instability and the terrain. To me looking at it, as someone with lots of hill time in the hummers, that one scene makes sense, everything is in favor of the hummer and working against the ferrari. now if that ferrari would have turned off...yea it's all over that hummer is going straight to bottom of that road.

It's like counting shots but for car guys.

Guess you havent seen the movie? Cage took the ferrari to catch up to Connery in the humvee. Connery is beeing chased by the cops too, and drives into and through stuff to make the chase harder. The ferrari is obviously faster, but is beeing slowed down by traffic, cop cars, wrecks, etc, and has to take detours. Its a Michael Bay movie, so ofc its not super realistic, but the chase makes sense.

@@ThePentosin 1) I haven't seen that movie in like 20 years 2) I was speaking in general, as most movie car chases defy physics and engineering to some degree, but some are just flat out ridiculous as hell

Yep, seen that on an Nissan Micra K11 driving backwards. Never thougt that could work but my Buddy showed me on his little red rocket^^

Easier to pull the odo and move the numbers (old cars) by hand . I never did this.

Love her

They'd have to find a '55 Bel-Air with a factory 327 in it...IYKYK ;)

"The defense is rowung"

​@@paulhare662 Thay wHer! But, thairs moa'rr! The two youts would agree as well.😂

I mean, if they had to break 1 per shot, that means it's not possible to keep driving after these stunts. Unfortunately they're still in shop class

Not to mention you've got the VIN connected to the important pieces to keep the scoundrels honest.

But I would question Bond's ability to steer the car. The front wheels will turn, but the body won't track so the whole thing will crab. Or something. But then again, he is Bond, James Bond so it will probably work.

@@dougerrohmer Cutting a car in half, adding a fuel system, and driving it exactly like how Bond does is something I've seen people do to smashed up old FWD cars. It's a little snakey but the back end rubs on the ground causing drag, which makes the "car" surprisingly controllable.

@@dougerrohmer The fuel in the lines won't last a minute. You will also lose all brake pressure so lets hope you don't have to slow down before the fuel runs out.

@@BigUriel He's Bond, James Bond. Q gave him a fountain pen with reserve fuel supply built in, and he'd just throw the baddies under the front wheels to stop.

@@BigUrielBrake pressure is not a problem because it's so light, and takes so much drag, it just stops easily.

I remember doing the math in physics for a laugh, and one backpack of gold bars came out to something in the ballpark of 300lbs. Make that a trunk full, and you have no suspension left lol.

😂😂😂 “it’s levitating “ hahahahah

Dude, its called salt #McSpankies

If it's about 3 ft tall, by 4 ft wide, it comes out to 1.46 tons at 6" thick. (Carbon steel being .2818 lb/in^3) Even then, still unmanageable.

@@iowafarmboy Still probably pulling the nose off the ground given that the whole car weight was probably less than that before adding the shield. At the very least, that would be a handling nightmare...

@@iowafarmboy should be more like 6' by 4' IMO, or 12 cubic feet. I checked and 1 cubic foot is 490lbs, so 6k or 3 tons, so yeah, off but just making a fun point

@@reaganharder1480 but you're not accounting for jason stethams (how ever it's spelt) massive balls. they're the offset. The question is where are you driving this, cause if it ain't a straight down steep af hill you're not moving.

Werent uncommon at all on early planes.... on some they had to as maintenance ....

Older cars used to be hot tuned, that is, it rolled into the shop, still running the mechanic would take the valve covers off, adjust the valves, put the covers back on, adjust the fuel in the carby, and fine tune the dizzy, add a dash of oil back in and slap the car on its arse as it drove back out. If all nux was doing for repairs was tying patches of hose over leaking lines, filling in cracks in the pan, and adjusting the belts I’d believe it. You can do a surprisingly large amount of repairs without stopping the engine.

Including being French!

How do you know?

Does Nitro come in liquid form? I always though its a gas in a pressurized tank?

@@RohonNag Yes, Top Fuel drag racers buy it by the barrel

Raw benzene, nitromethane, kerosene, paint stripper... There's a bunch of dangerous stuff you can aerosol into your motor for more power when it's life or death!

I've heard "The customer is always right, in matters of taste"

Same as the "Jack of all trades"

@@CyberGenesis1 Isn’t that one “Jack of all trades, master of none “?

@@GameFaceFail That works also.

@@stevedavis5704 "Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

or literally any place where you work with customers. I worked at a resturant for a bit and the number of people who would order medium rare and complain that medium rare isn't pink, and you'd correct them and get "well I'm the customer and i'm right." humans on average are the dumbest creatures on the planet, it's the exceptions that keep all of us alive.

Oh man, Scrapheap Challenge was a fantastic show, I used to love the wild challenges

They could also be spitting something a bit more volatile in to boost combustion, like kerosene or nitromethane

Not even all that. Just better green screen lighting technique. Avoid backspill etc

On older car when I replace the odo because it's broken or unreadable, to match the milage it's much faster to move the numbers by hand either by going forward or if you lift the finger that moves the rolls you can roll it back or forward without influencing the next roll up.
