Th Fast And Furious Supra - How it got cast. 

Craig, i don't care how the directors, actors, producers feel. You're the reason this movie was such a success.

“We want to make it look ‘racy and rice-y’.” 😂😂😂. Mission accomplished.

So glad you didn't use the z32 300zx. I would have not been able to afford one if you had.

Craig you should do a video of your foxbody! I know people don't look at them as a value like the Supra or Skyline but the value on foxbodys are going up especially the 93 Cobra.

That 500+ hp back then was huge. I thought I was a badass with my 01 Trans Am WS6 and it's 320.

idk if anyone have ever told you this Craig, but thank you for changing our culture in SO MANY ways for the better! If F&F never happened, this world would be a different place.. you made a whole new world for us.

Hey Craig, I just want to say thank you for everything, fast and furious made a huge impact in my life, some of my best memories of my 20's were going to watch the movie then going to cars meet, modifying my em1 civic si. Man good old times...

Oohhh so this guy is the reason a fucking n/a Supra cost like 50k 😭

Thanks Craig. Fantastic insight of a Supra. You must've had a blast doing all of that. I bought my Supra not because of F&F. I liked the Supra a lot. Was never imported to South Africa where I live. I had the opportunity of working in Japan permanently in 2003. I bought my Supra as company car there. Now back in South Africa and I still have her. I'm thinking of wrapping it in Yellow. Anyway. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm watching Supra on just driven too. Thank you.

I bought a RZ manual supra from japanese auction last xmas, worth every penny, do I only want the car? no, I want the simple version of me sitting in a supra at a dealership when i was 13. and I got it

12,000 for a supra it's probably worth 10x more by now...even 24 isn't bad

i didn't know people hated these cars, that supra has been my favorite car since i was 9

Damn, wish you got the Z32 in the movie. Guess I’m bias lol

i think craig has earned his spot among the legends. he went through the OG stage, then got mainstreamed by hollywood.. had been on the receiving end of the good and the bad about this scene.. for as much as tuner world was concerned, he was a part of it.. and if he decided to build a new supra for himself, its just about as legit as the movie car.. because he owned that car you see in the movies

This guy is one of the og-est of og's in the industry.

Man, this is so awesome! I simply love to hear about it and see photos of that era, it is so special to me. I was born in 2001 and grew up watching F&F movies and playing Need for Speed... for me the 90's and 2000's were the best years of the automotive culture, period. A era where everyone was building their cars for theirselves and not for clout on social media...The cars, the parts, the events, the magazines, everything was so special. Thank you Craig for sharing these things and for telling the actual stories behind the movies!

What happened with the wrecked «10 minute» car?

I remember seeing your first video on YT and thinking "Oh yeah RIGHT this guy was involved with The Fast and Furious"

Idk why but I could listen to Craig explain how he got on the movie or anything about the first movie every day and not get bored lol good video Craig

Do you still keep in contact with the people whom you’ve sold your cars too?

hopefully those cars are preserved for the next gen as piece of car culture history

$24K for a supra...God damn!

The only thing the fast and the furious did was make the Supra Worth a lot more. The car was already ahead of its time by decades. wether the engineers made it like that on purpose or not, the supra will for ever be legendary.

We were dealing with Legends Imports I remember it brother Toyota Supras rx7s skyline's were in Japan but they were popular 3,000 GT 300ZX mr2's the best import tuners of the time

*_SUCH A GENIUS AND A REGULAR GUY AT THE SAME TIME_*

*Craig uploads a new video* Me on 2 am: *Well, guess no sleep for another 30 minutes :D*

Think about this y’all, if he hadn’t got beat in a mustang against a Supra on the highway. We may never have had a fast and furious

"Way back in 2018 2019" 😅

This man is a wizard!! Love this channel. Much appreciation for all your contributions to the community! Definitely watching all the Supar episodes!

My friend must be very grateful for this movie, he purchased a low mileage mint condition twin turbo manual Supra for £8000 about 17 years ago. He still has it and its insured for £50,000 (approx $70,000)

so how did you miss the 351583 gears and the floorpan comming off when a manifold fails?

The original is probably valued close to a million dollars by now.

Your videos are so awesome!

Love this channel. I can listen to this guy talk for hours about cars. Good stuff.

In the video of the "back lot of universal" clippet, there's a white R34 GTR already in the background and this is 1999 before FF1??? So someone there - especially you HAD to have seen that. Why it was never cast in the movie as a brand spanking new car that Japan itself only had available to purchase off a showroom dealer for mere months and yet sitting there in California is really worthy of investigation.

Thanks for taking the time to make these vids. I remember watching the 1st film in knoxville tn the day it came out and i still keep coming back to these. Have a good week

I love this video! I can't wait to hear more stories.

Mk4 Supra is so iconic

So many memories from that era, great video buddy!

When I first started my RU-vid channel way back in 2019.... lol way, way back, eh?

Love the behind the scenes info Craig!!!! If you like car movies be on the lookout for FOUR AMIGOS

"The dumb luck that that made this car a star" lol

Nice to see you back

The supra was already a big name in the car scene so not sure how you or anyone could take that claim from Toyota. It's like the LFA it was an instant unicorn and the supra has always been such.

I love how they cut corners in post production in the theater version, in the motorcycle chase scene you can see the jumps on the hills and the stunt rider slaming into the curb breaking his leg, you can't see any of this on the DVD release

I’m glad I got to sit in both The Supra and Black Bird before you sold them my friend

Can we get a video on the second Supra you got

Those cars are still badass in my opinion. The Supra and the eclipse are pretty until this day . The same dudes that were hating when you pulled up in that Supra definitely couldn’t afford one I’m sure of it! More than likely a bunch of hoopty civics with engine swaps calling it JDM ! Short for I can’t afford put bones etc on my shit😂 anyway much love to all enthusiasts with clean builds body kits whatever ,FF paved the period gotta love it .

Most interesting back story, subbed!

This video made my day! Thanks for the share legend!💯👏🏻😎

Great video, Craig! 👌🏼

beauty video, always enjoy learning about the series and what you did for it. so sick

Keep these videos coming Craig I find them really interesting. Sorry you seem to get such a hard time from the ‘fans’ who just don’t understand the realities of movie making 😉

I went to tuner shows from 99 til now and never heard shade over the supra. Maybe from the muscle car guys. That's always been one of my favorite cars. Can't wait to see the build! 👊😁

So cool that you got to help the people Who made fast and furious 1 P.s my favorite car’s are the Supra, r34 and the rx7 from the 3 movie

I still have the issue of Turbo that featured the Supra. It also had a 90 gsx running 12's w bolt ons, and that ended up being my first sports car. Thanks for the vids, love the channel!

Yellow set up was perfect. I like your style Craig.

what supra did you use for the burnt up car

The first time saw a Supra, was in a Motor Trend magazine in 1994, it became my favorite, and then along came The Fast and The Furious.

Good vid 👍

I love your story

Y'all remember that movie "Redlined" / "In the red" 1999 wonder if that's the movie he mentioned or they got inspired to do the fast and the furious movies lol

I would have just looked for the bbk to find your car

Why didn’t u pick 300zx’s then?

The legend!

God bless craig lieberman.

Love watching these videos 👍

I like this man. He motivates me and very inspiring humble person.

I'm surprised there weren't any 300zx's in the movie

The car choices in the movie were top notch JDM icons. Anyone who disrespects them are fairweather fans.

Still missed the 14 speed gearbox in the mitsubishi eclipse detail

Thanks for this

Explains the yellow roll cage that I was always confused by.

3:40 notice the few frames that mess up the transition? Don't see those extra frames in the preview window? Using Sony Vegas? Set the preview quality to either one of these: Preview (full) Good (full) Best (full) Hope it helps!

I want a series of Craig roasting subscribers cars. I'd be willing to be include my car into this

You guys did such a good job in the franchise and the net production team should have just left you're work alone.

Its like you were meant to be a part of it all! Synchronicities

You need to go visit your car in the Netherlands that’d be a great video

OMGG CMON CREGGGG >> JZX100 & the lux JZX110 Mark ii.. Turbo 1JZ VVTi Single Turbo from factory man! Love your videos very informative 😄

Dude. Where is the guy in every single FF comment section talking about Hector having spoon engines!!! Missed opportunity!

Hey did you know you had a right break light out 7:14 when you pulled out of Hollywood 😄

That that that that that thumbnail is interesting

interesting story indeed!!

I REALLY wish they used the MK3 1986.5-1992 Supra like he suggested. You can transform that baby to look like anything and IMO it's way cooler.

Craig how did Troy lee design get all tied up in the movie and the hood of this car. Johnny tran is also wearing a d2 helmet, which is a pedal bike helmet.

So do you tell people you consulted on the "motec system exhaust"

Why are there two "that" in the thumbnail lol

Belgium rules we loved that Nick got the car to Belgium back then

Hero 1 would prolly fetch close to or more than a Mill i would think if it ever went to auction

I'm not sure if you mentioned it in your Supra video, but how many different sets of wheels did you have on the yellow version before it was repainted in the orange color? Just curious.

7:32 ahaha that's epic 😆 Not sure that was his first time on tuned JDM tho But i wouldn't blame him First time riding along a modded+tuned turbo JDM could make one looks stupid. In my case, that was this mildly modded gtst r32 of friend's. Yah, still rb20det, but all these noises of turbo spools, wastegate and bov, and the acceleration combined gave me the experience... And the feeling of squeeze right up at the seat upon acceleration for the first time is a memory itself xD. So i can understand what a tuned 2jz can do to someone of first time Modded 2jz did indeed made me looks stupid even tho I've been on good amount of tuned jdm, both ridden along+owning acouple myself. And my first jz exp happened to be on this blue 2jz tt r32 gtst(yeah, my country got too much gtst in here lol). Even tho auto trans that thing squeeze me hard! Even with huge nitto tires trying their best gripping the thing, thing still sway right and left hard! 2jz definitely are on another level of their own

Are you going to include the correct Minolta VHSC camcorder in your replica?

Was that a real trd type r spoiler on the 2 fast 2 furious mic rig car in tennessee?

*whats soft is used for make this thumb in cartoon please?*

8:30 The advice given on set should have 100% been that its mandatory that everyone on set wear these sandals period. Or your leavin! Haha

Sound must have been fixed b/c I'm hearing it just fine

Sw20 mr2 could have been a main car in the movie. There was 1 at the beginning in the first drag race for a few seconds

Always thought he said “The niners circuit”

So which one was the one that was crashed recently??? 🤔

damn 2000.. I was probably like 2 years old.
