**The Fast and Furious Franchise: A Genre of Knockoff Movies**
Thanks to eBay Motors for sponsoring a portion of today's video. I love this movie. I love this movie. Welcome to the club pal. Wanna see it? That's great. Ah, The Fast and The Furious movies we all love the franchise but technically they're not very good.
What if I told you that there's an entire genre of knockoff Fast and Furious movies that make The Fast and The Furious look like The Godfather. But the best of the best of the worst of them all might be the movie we're talking about today. 200 miles per hour, the story of a young man on a quest to avenge his brother's death. The only way that he knows how by going 200 miles per hour.
Today, we're gonna look at some of the most moving, well acted in action pack scenes from this absolute Goliath of cinema. I'm James. He's Justin. This is Nolan. Let's go 200 miles per hour. Thanks to eBay Motors for sponsoring a portion of today's video. eBay Motors has a huge range of inventory with 122 million parts, 5 million wheels, and 7 million tires. Plus some uniquely eBay things.
I'm talking niche restoration to even salvage parts. Parts like this Eibach Anti-Roll Kit will let me dial in the Mustang's handling, and this sweet Ford Racing Tower Braces should help improve the steering feel. Once these bad boys are installed, I'll have everything I want for Autocross besides a manual transmission.
And now you can save your specific vehicle to eBay's My Garage. Just provide the year, make model, trim, and engine, and my garage filters your search results. So only find the most suitable parts. Plus they let you add multiple vehicles and make it quick and easy to switch between them. Why shop for your automotive needs anywhere else?

Thanks again to eBay Motors for sponsoring that portion of the video. (playful music)
Justin's seen it a cool dozen times. I've seen it once and Nolan has seen it never times. I mean just the specifics alone all right. It's written by a guy named Thunder Levin. So if you're an initial D fan, you know that literally translates to - yeah, wait a minute.
His name's Thunder Lightning. He also wrote Sharknado and it was directed by this guy. Nolan, are you ready to experience 200 miles per hour for the first time? I forgot that that's what we're doing today. So yes.
The movie kicks off with our protagonist Rick, who is an amateur racer working on his FC RX7. His brother Tommy pulls up in a brand new 370Z. If you watched our video, real mechanics react to bad car lines, then you might recognize this scene.
(Crickets chirping)
It's like an $80,000 car. No it's not! - 0 to 60 in three and a half seconds. No. Quarter mile 11.5 seconds. No. And 193 miles per hour top speed. (laughter) Yeah. And it's not gonna be stock for long.
He's like yeah and it's not gonna be stock. It's not stock but it's already modded. Those aren't OEM stickers. Yeah. So this is 370Z. Yeah. You got a decent one for like what? $12-15 grand.
I love the vanity license plate too. Oh fa sho. That's possibly the best vanity license plate I've ever seen in my life. And very fitting for a 370Z. I am legitimately jealous of that license plate. It's pretty good. Yeah. Oh fa sho. Oh fa sho.
So yeah. We're two minutes into the movie. So far zero facts about cars are correct. The brothers then head up to the Sepulveda suicide race. And at the Sepulveda suicide race, they meet up with their crew, including Claudia, Rick's girlfriend.
Okay. And Kelly, the magical mechanic. Well? You've been messing with my timing again. Haven't you? It is my car. There. I fixed it (laughter). Dude. She's like, alright. One. She can tell that the timing is off by looking at a car that is off. That's awesome.
And then she touches it like this. Yep. Boop. There I fixed it. Click. And then the bad guy shows up. Kayce in his Nissan GT-R. Ooh. Kayce got his older brother, Tommy, into racing for pink slips. Oh, I think I remember that one. Yeah.
I hope you enjoyed our discussion about 200 miles per hour.

I like that.Mom likes that. I got this."He's got that like Ryan Gosling like,"Hey, you wanna go for adrive? You want a tooth pick?"(roaring car engine)(tires squealing)- Definitely speed ramp.- Oh no!(metal crushing)Oh, oh no. Not the 350.(Laughter)- That's one of my favorite parts.- That's my favorite part.- Tommy!- The whole crowd just teleports.- Yeah. They're like a mile away.- Dude is trucking.And I wonder how manytakes they got out of himbefore he was like,(heavy panting)like the entire plot of themovie depends on the ideathat Kayce killed Tommy in this race.- Yeah yeah yeah.- Let's let's watch the tape back- Let's analyze this.(roaring car engine)(tires squealing)- No, Tommy just sucks driving.- Tommy just sucks a driving.(metal crashing)(laughter)The sound mixing is pretty- Now the 370 is magically a 350.- Oh.- You know, what's hilariousthough, the first time heturns right he rolls the car.- He should be in NASCAR.So at this point I'm like, alrightKayce's not that bad of aguy, but then he does provethat he is like a real,like, kind of crappy dudebecause he shows up at Tommy's funeral.- Bold.- Yeah. And demands thatRick give him his card.- Whoa!- Because he was racing for pinks.And if he can't have Tommy's carthen he needs to have Rick's car.They decide to race.- Okay.- Now back to the garage andKelly lays out her plans.- Take a look at this.I made some sketches.- Oh nice.(laugher)- That's the Pumphrey 502.- Oh nice.But like, I also want to callout all the eraser marks.- They just had someoneset like draw a car.- I bet the director drew it.- You know what? This just might work.- That's gonna be awesome.- Okay.- They've said that four times.- I think this is a good time to call out.There's a theme in this moviethat for some reason, the biggest fearof going fast in these cars isthat it will lift offthe ground and fly away.- I love it.- Maybe 10 times in this movie theybring up the concernof the car flying away.You're not worried aboutpopping the engine.They're not worried about, you knowanything other than the car flying away.- Yeah.- Kelly's sketches are approvedand now it looks like this.(upbeat music)That is sick.- That is sick.- Okay. It's green now.- I love it.- Hey. You don't think I'mletting you take my babyout without me. Do you?- So now it's green, right?Totally understandable.- Yep.- It's gotta spoiler on it. That's cool.- Yeah.- Time for a first test drive.- Let's do it.- All right I want to knowif you notice anythingabout the car.- All right. I'll pay attention.(engine roaring)(tires squealing)Oh, it's a Nissan now.- Apparently during filmingthe RX-7 was stolen.- What?- Yes. So that was onset in a trailer with atruck attached to saidtrailer all belonged toJustin Pawlak, the former drift driver.- Whoa.- And it all disappeared.- Hi Justin.- Whoa, that sucks.- Yeah.- So you know when I originallysaw this movie, I was like,It was so hilarious thatthey just went out oftheir way to build a lookalike car.But that's what happened- That's wild, man.- Rick goes to see his girlfriend.She's very upset that he's racing.So he leaves there comesback to the garage.He's like, yo, I gottago test the car again.- Let's see what happens.(engine roaring)Oh no. It's the cops- Oh. Oh. Flying real low.- Just wait.- Son of a (beep).(laughter)- Whoa.- The effects are amazing.- I love this movie. I love this movie.- Welcome to the club now.- I wanna see it. That's great.- I just wanna mention that we're only30 minutes into this 90 minute.Yes. So they try and out run the cops.- Somehow they avoid thatstunt driving helicopter.- Yeah. They avoid the helicopter.Helicopter's gone parked in a parking lotand in broad daylight.The cop catches them.- You, on your knees! Elbows in the air.Don't you (beep) move.- What do you mean elbows in the air?- Is this really necessary?- Is that a message from Kayce?- No.- No.- That's a message from me.The man who has your balls in his hand.- Again underwrite the techno babbleoverwrite the tough guy.- The balls in his hand.- I think that was ad lib.So the cop demands that Ricklike forfeit the race to Kayce.Because if you haven't noticed,he's a bit of a crooked cop.They head back to the garage,meet up with the crew.But wait a sec, did theyhit 200 miles per hourin the helicopter chase?- 160 miles per hour.- 160.- Wow.- Son of a (beep). Ican't believe we did it.- They made that up.- I love that.- Those guys were rehearsing linesand they made (beep) that up.I love that.Yeah. Those guys are having fun with it.- Do I know my ground effects or what?- Do I know my ground effects or what.She attributed to the topspeed to the body kit.- How are we gonna make it any faster?We've done every mod made for it.- We could use nitrous.- Nobody makes a NOS system for the MX-5.And there's a reason for it.- MX-5. See again, I thinkthis was written for Miata.And then they found a way cooler,in my opinion, car to be the hero.- Or they thought it wasa Miata the whole time.- Yeah. Maybe theythought this was a Miata.They track down the only guyin LA to ever run nitrous on an MX-5.And Rick goes and pays him a visit.- I saw the Speedo hit 180but I really wasn't sure becausethe car was shaking so bad.The front end began to lift up.- He sounds like he's given a testimony- Flipped (beep) over endright through a second story window.I was wearing a four point safety harnessand that thing came apart.I flew out the car window,landed in a pile of (beep).- What?- Going 140 hits the switchcar literally takes off.But then, but goes (beep) over end.- He falls out.- Some point his fourpoint harness breaks.He goes out the window.This is a now in a house.He falls into a pile of (beep).Domingo's like, yo youcan have my kit for freeif it helps you beat Kayce.Because if Kayce's outta thegame, that's more money for me.Then something messed up happens.- Oh.- Kayce follows Claudia,Rick's now ex-girlfriend.So it is a 12 minute scene ofthis guy following this woman.It's a lot of time to spendon something like that.What are you doing Thunder Levin?She runs out.Rick picks her up.Oh, I also wanna pointout the nitrous buttonis the windshield wiperswitch in the RX-7.So he hits the nitrousto get away from Kayce.(engines roaring)- In his 240- Get that alignment checked on.- Oh look 160 dude.Ah, look at his speedometer.His speedometer got a label maker over it.It says MPH.That is a thermometer.- That's a air pressure gage.- It's air pressure gage.Art department's like I found hack.They just turned thecompressor to 160 pounds.Okay. So again, he justsaved his girlfriendfrom being taken and he'sstoked about going 160.- Yeah. He's in the middle of the- It works we're not taking off.- Take this piece of (beep).- It works we're not taking off.We're not flying in my car.Even at 160. We're not flying.So they're still moving now.But then wait till we cut to the wide.- (beep) you.- Definitely moving.- Oh my God.- Rick!(cars crashing)- That's why his bumper's all messed up.He's doing that to himself(frantic screaming)(horn honking)- What? What?- Well, he just lost his car.- Oh, I didn't think about that.- He lost his car. He's fine.So he goes back to thecrew and they're likewe got a crazy idea.Remember that 370-Z thatgot rolled 27,000 timesthat your brother died in?We're gonna go steal itfrom the police impound.And you're gonna race that.- All right.That's a hair brand idea ifI've ever heard one. I'm in.- It seems is impossible but Kelly,she says she can do anything.She rebuild the car in two days,which you know is totally possible.- Just go down to the dealer.They'll give you parts.- All right.So the car's fixed. Ready to rock.They line up for the final race.- Let's go.(tires squealing)(car crashing)- Oh no, my light pole.- He's a good guy.- Kayce!- Kayce!- Kayce!- They don't show any wreckage.It's not the budget.- Think about this.You can't shoot him.They'll know it was a gun.- He's got a point.He's got a point.- He's got a point- But this next move he does is legendary.- They have the technology.- You're right. I can't. You can.- Where'd that gun come from?And it's already taped up.- One, Two,- Hey, Flynn.- And the crowd teleports again.- She's a genie.- She's a genie.- She has magical power. She can teleport.She can fix things witha touch of her hand.So then what happens?- Rick realizes that racing won'tbring his brother back then.Domingo Juarez shows up.- Domingo Juarez.- Remember he landed in the (beep).Domingo offers Kelly ajob on a NASCAR team.She says, she'll think about it.And then he pays Rick ahundred thousand dollarsfor the 170.- Because it has historical value.- Right.- That's great.- Yeah.
