Fast & Furious 4: The Cars and Trucks
FAST & FURIOUS COVERAGE @ INSIDELINE.COM:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=143967
Opens Friday, April 3!!!
In the movie business, cars are expendable. They're not respected, nowhere near cherished, subject to abuse and constantly thrashed. It doesn't matter if the cars are Ferraris or Ford Crown Vics, the job of any vehicle in a movie is to tell the story effectively — even if it must be destroyed in order to do so. And in a movie like Fast & Furious (opening April 3) the cars do a lot of storytelling. We should know; we went behind the scenes.
In October of 2007, Dennis McCarthy was hired as the picture car coordinator for Fast & Furious, and after leasing a 60,000-square-foot shop in Southern California's San Fernando Valley and hiring a staff of mechanics and fabricators, he got started building the 240 or so cars that would be needed for the production — to portray about a dozen on-screen cars tied to a character. After all, duplicates were needed of every car to ensure the production never had to slow down; to perform specific stunts; and to be wrecked in the most spectacular way possible.
Using documentation from the production's picture car department and in-person interviews with McCarthy and his hard-working team of fabricators, Inside Line has created the most comprehensive guide to this year's hottest movie cars. Here it is: Inside Line's guide to the cars and trucks of Fast & Furious.
Fast and Furious - 1998 Nissan Skyline GTR - Muscle vs. Import
Dom maintains his muscle car cred by driving a 70 Charger and 1970 CHEVROLET SS CHEVELLE, also featured in The Fast and the Furious, as well as a 1987 BUICK GNX GRAND NATIONAL and a 1973 F-BOMB Camaro. For his part, Brian mixes it up with a tried-and-true performance import extraordinaire, the 1998 NISSAN SKYLINE GTR, as well as the versatile upstart 2009 SUBARU WRX STi.
Its a muscle car world with a standout supporting cast of cars that includes Lettys 1970 PLYMOUTH ROAD RUNNER and Fenixs 1972 FORD GRAN TORINO, with imports such as Mias 2000 ACURA NSX and Giseles 2007 PORSCHE CAYMAN orbiting around it. Not to be outdone, a whos who of coveted cars appears in the film to satisfy a variety of tastes.

Rij-impressie auto's uit the Fast & the Furious (English Subtitled)
Enkele weken geleden ging het alweer het vijfde deel van de befaamde film-serie The Fast and the Furious in première. De serie over straatraces is door de jaren heen een stuk wilder en agressiever geworden, maar het niveau was tanende. Enkel deel één staat heeft destijds echt wat teweeg gebracht en bleef bij de basis: straatracen. Wij kunnen met enkele iconen op pad. Let's take a ride in a ten second car...
Fast & Furious 4 Behind the Scenes

Almost six months before filming was set to begin on Fast and Furious, the movie's picture car coordinator Dennis McCarthy was already running out of space to hold all the cars, trucks, semis and trailers being built for the production. This was way back in October 2007 and it was McCarthy's job to bring together every vehicle that would be seen on-screen in the fourth in The Fast and the Furious series. Sound easy? It wasn't; there were going to be more than 200 of them.
"Reading the script, it was obvious this was going to be bigger than Tokyo Drift," said McCarthy, who had the same job on that third Fast/Furious film. "And a lot more of them were going to be 'specialty cars' that we'd have to build ourselves."
So despite having more than 60,000 square feet of shop space to work in, Dennis McCarthy was already running out of room.
Fast and Furious 5: The Movie
Paul Walker returns for a dose of reality...filmed without scripting, without planning. Starring Paul Walker, Jason Statham, Tanner Foust and Matt Farah
