I recently made a video about how I don't review modified cars. AND NOW THIS?! People are up in arms below. But at 10:20, I specifically mention I would happily review movie cars. See here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdx1praUma3PZH0.html Enjoy the S2000 ;)

The black carpet shows reddish because it has faded in the sun. The black felt on the radio door was for an interior light we used to put light on Suki’s face.

Imagine seeing a 45 year old look-alike man, driving around in a pink ricer talking to himself.

Actually, a bright pink s2000 in LA is absolutely appropriate

The fact that the graphics are airbrushed and not vinyl is actually pretty impressive.

The pink paint on the outside due to sun fading. No clear coat was used. That’s why the door lambs look better.

Ludacris has entered the chat “And if they want to fingerprint me, and give me some years, they’ll only get one finger while I’m shifting gears”

The info about the jump crash was almost accurate. In fact, the remote driver of the s2000 was also in the chase vehicle that went off the ramp. And, because the remote rig was temporarily setup in the passenger seat, when the stunt car went off the ramp and crashed, the steering rig was pushed out by the airbag, injuring the remote driver of the s2000. But despite all that, the remote driver was able to safely stop the s2000. I know all this because the remote driver was my father. Great video though! I remember seeing all the different versions of the cars on set out in Florida as a kid. Movie magic is something special.

in case anyone missed it, the car's interior was just made to look good on camera, it didn't have to actually look good up close. just making sure in case you missed the 8 million times he mentioned it.

Fun Fact: the actress/model Devon Aoki, who plays Suki the character, happens to be DJ Steve Aoki's younger sister.

Doug: No air bags, no seatbelts, not exactly the safest experience. Also DOug: Now its time to get it out on the road and see how it drives.

Doug, I can answer a few of your questions. Though I was only a background actor in the first fast and furious, and also a stand-in for Vin Diesel, I have about 25 years experience in the industry, so I can tell you some of the secrets, to the best of my knowledge, of how the industry worked these quirks. I actually have a picture of me next to this car on the universal lot...the back lot where the public is not allowed, so it was another one of the production cars, just as sloppily put together as this one. 1) I bet you the fabric on the panel that hides the stereo was either added for the lighting department, so they can stick a Velcro light on there when needed and take it off without a severe modification when not needed, which is also pretty handy if the unit was flipped open it wouldn’t upset the sound department if that lid was clicking on whatever it was resting upon while driving it for interior shots. 2) TVs were just starting to be integrated into vehicles at this time, so even a sloppy installation was a cool installation. People put these things in the center of steering wheels, in their visors, anywhere with often a miss shaped frame around it. But that was OK. This was 2003 as you said. 3) The missing seatbelt was again most likely due to the sound department. If you were driving this car with cameras mounted to it, or even this thing on a flatbed camera truck, these little things like seatbelts make noise. Through the sound department can tape them up and do this and that, but why not just get rid of it altogether. And that’s what they did in this case. 4) the rear view mirror. I’m only guessing in this, your guess could also be correct, but I would say that one of their shots required a specific angle, they knew it ahead of time so they modified the mirror for this. Just like when you watch a film and they remove the headrest from the front seats so you can see the passengers in the back, or see the cameras point of view from the backseat looking towards the front, it’s a modification so that you can see the actor, or in this case maybe the actors point of view. 5) it’s interesting they didn’t redo the shag carpets on the seats for the museum. Kudos to them keeping it original from how the production used it and how it sustained life over the years.The seats were clearly pink in the movie. In fact I can send you pictures of the car that I took pictures of in 2005 or 2006 that the pink was only half faded away. These cars literally sit uncovered at the universal lot, exposed to sun, so that is why the seats take on a gray tint, because it is simply the pink sun faded into that color. 6) at least this car has an engine. And you can tell the way the low profile tires in the front touch the fenders, if you didn’t open the hood. In the scenes that I shot on the first fast and furious when the flames were being thrown out of the rear exhaust, the engines were actually removed from these vehicles. All of the vehicles. The Integra the supra… All of them. This was for safety reasons as they actually had pyrotechnic crews run their special effects lines underneath the vehicle so that flames would shoot out the exhaust pipes in those close-ups. Over several takes, the bumpers actually started melting away. But you don’t see this in the movie. They had other cars another bumpers to replace it for the next scene. 7) The missing trunk. Though I’d assume that they had a deal with Honda that gave them a bunch of these cars, but they might’ve also had cars that were missing trunk features so if they didn’t need it, why add it. For example I worked on gone in 60 seconds and the BMW 5 series that they trashed were actually already trashed as BMW test cars that were not even street legal, beyond salvage, vehicles. They simply use their resources they have to get any vehicle they can get, and they may be missing a few parts.

She wasn’t watching something on that screen it was a virtual representation of her temper cuz once Orange Julius in his Rx7 cut off Suki the avatar on it got super red and Angry cuz Suki was angry to.

THIS.. is a background that isn’t outside!

The only quote I remember from Suki. Suki: "smack that ass"-2003

I don't ever want to hear Doug say "Bath Mat" again

God this car is such a childhood dream for me, its still is surprisingly. I know if ever I win a lottery the first thing I would do is get this car or atleast have a custom made exactly like this

Doug has finally found a perfect visualization of everything he hates in life

Suki yells “Smack that ass” when she lands the bridge jump. Poetic. Can’t believe he glossed over that

How can someone be so charismatic and so awkward at the same time

I LMAO when he was yanking on the rear view mirror like a rabid chimpanzee. 😂😂😂😂

After this many years..the mirror is now flimsy... starts trying to rip it off like a god damn ape.

Doug: I don't review modified cars Also Doug: THIIIIIIIIIIS

Doug can't be serious, it would be an honor to drive that car around anywhere, this thing is epic 😍

Fun Fact: The Peterson Museum is the place The Notorious Big was murdered at

The dude in the trash truck was like, look at this middle aged man wearing 2 tshirts driving a hot pink Honda...

Police officer to Doug: "THIIIIIIIIIIIS is a ticket for driving around with no seat belt".

I have a picture of my young self sitting on the hood of this car when they had it on Display at “Universal Studios” theme park in Florida.

Everyone commenting on how suki is Steven aoki's sister And I'm just over here like, who's Stephen aoki?

Doug you weren't being stared at for driving a pink s2000. You were being stared at because you were driving THE pink s2000. Suki's car is an icon. Every one was wondering is that really "that" car ? Is it real? Did I just see her car? It is a completely different level of attention grabbing. It would be like taking Paris Hilton to dinner vs. an unknown "super" model. A model on your arm will get you looks. But Paris? Paris will cause a riot.

"I look like a complete idiot... but it is kinda neat." Car enthusiasts in a sentence

I cant believe doug has managed to make me a fan. Having a few (4/5) videos recently. I see your video design and I love it. And I even find a “binging with Babish-esque” dialogue to it. I love it. Best wishes!

After this, I've rewatched the first race of 2 Fast 2 Furious and any other scene where the S2000 is featured prominently, and I must say that all those imperfections pointed out by Doug were not visible at all. Maybe it was camera angles or even CGI edits in places, but they did a great job (in hindsight, by the way, it wouldn't have been bad to plainly see those tacky jobs: one could assume that said jobs were made by "hobby" tuners, maybe Suki herself, people that didn't have the precise tools and techniques that a professional tuner has, not to mention the necessary cash. This was often the case with car enthusiasts that wanted to have a go at modifying their cars on a budget).

It’s A car with Mods I thought I’d never see the day Doug lol

Doug: "So this is stock, right?" Owner: "Of course. Why do you ask?"

Idk man, I love watching your reviews but you’re driving the iconic pink s2k, what Devon drove 17 years ago. I would appreciate it more.

Doug, i have nothing but great things to say about your line of work. You have the upmost enthusiastic, detailed, and very precise way of explaining things when presenting these cars !! youve really helped me learn about my car and cars in general , i do have a request !! if you ever have a chance to review a 2017 Mercedes Benz c300 4matic , that would be amazing !! again , thank you Doug for all that you do.

I may know of another Fast and Furious car that you can review at the Petersen.

Car with a crooked steering wheel turned 45 degrees in the wrong direction Doug: Handling is quite nice, 7/10.

Imagine randomly driving a movie car down the street...

I was in awe. Thats definitely the same car, the sound is exact, something I really remembered about the movie, and when he's driving.

Embarrassing to drive around LA? Are you serious? That is such an iconic car... those who are worthy, will appreciate it when see it on the street. This car will probably turn more heads than any car you have reviewed this year. I'm a guy and I would kill to get to drive around this piece of history

Doug de Muro is the type of guy who says “Too soon junior” after he wins a drag race

I love cars and cars are my interest and your channel is awesome!

Drinking game: have a shot for every time Doug says "Bath Mat"

Prop Designer from 20 years ago: No one will ever look inside this car, its fine Doug 2020: Bathmat Material

I can't believe they let him drive around in that thing, lmfaoooooo

some of the work actually makes sense from a business standpoint. taking time to make a picture perfect car also takes lots of money. If you can save a bit of money that's the important part because it saves you money in the long-run.

Haha what a cool review, thanks Doug, I hope you will review more movie cars in the future!

The steering wheel literally has to be sideways to drive straight "Handling 7"

Doug: *"I'd love to review iconic movie cars"* That one viewer who is somehow allowed access to famous movie cars: *"hold my beer"*

I get that the car only needed to be used for a movie, but the overall craftsmanship is just abysmal.

Back then the 2nd guage was installed to tell you when to shift, a light would come on to assist with perfect shifts. Feels like yesterday I was in the theater watching this movie. Now I feel old.

Doug quote of the year: “ I look like a complete idiot, but it is kinda neat” 😂

Doug: *posts a video on More Doug Demuro about how he'll never review a modified car* Also Doug: "This this the most modified car I could find"

I’m sure you know when they make this kind of stuff for movies and tv they are usually on a time crunch and eye to detail isn’t the top of their priority. The studio probably just had one or 2 shops build them all quickly.

This is an accurate, period-correct ricer of the time, to include the mods. Common home-made stuff for the time and appropriately sloppy. Well executed.

Me : Mom i want Ferrari Enzo Mom : We got an Enzo at home Enzo at Home : 0:40

who else was waiting for him to turn on the pink lights

Watching this I can't stop seeing Xzibit in my head for some reason...

This is such a great video and the car is so beautiful

Honda S2000 from fast and the furious Me:😃 Doug: "this is crap" Me:😧

Doug: I don’t review modified cars Doug on the same video: I will make an exception if it's a car that has appeared in a movie

Did anybody else gasp when he started to wrestle the rearview mirror? I was just waiting for it to snap off!

love your style bro!

The dude in the pickup at 22:08 (go frame by frame). You made his day.

And the FF cars series videos have started 😍🔥🔥

This was RJ DeVera s car and was heavily modiffied before even the first movie. It was the Black Johny Tran S2000 from the desert race wars scene. Then the movie crew Bought the car from RJ De Vera for the second movie and paint it on Pink. It was Orange before the first movie. The owner apears on the first movie he s the asian guy on the white civic on the first race with Dom , Ja Rule and brian , the one who s playing Gran Turismo before the race.

I think this nice fluffy bath mat interior would give a great warm feel if daily driven in Yakutsk!This actual car of cours!

Genuinely never heard someone say "bath mat" as much in my life.

this is one of the all time best reviews

Fits you perfect Doug - and the shorts

Wow all the pink from the bath mat material has faded away presumably from sun damage.

Doug is the type of guy to smell the seat when nobody was looking. “ah Suki”

Doug, glad to see two t shirts

I miss the good movies

Me: Mom I want a Ferrari Enzo. Mom: We have Ferrari Enzo at home. Ferrari Enzo at home 0:40

Great video! Please more review's from tv and movies cars.

This was awsome to watch! Loved those movies!

man the memories, the good old days

How did Doug drive this car without screaming... "Smack dat ass!!"

That is a beautiful car. It looks unique and special. It’s difficult to describe but it is iconic.

Fantastic airbrush artwork. I think it's the most striking of any of the Fast and the Furious cars.

"Bath mat" no longer sounds like a real phrase.

I'm a camera operator, I've worked on a few BTS of TV commercials and the like and it's really cool talking with the prop makers. It's always a mad rush behind the scenes to get things fixed / mods done for the director before all the actors are in place on set. It's why these things can be rushed. Also bath mats were probably used because they're very easy to obtain and aren't bespoke in any way. This is really normal in movie props and effects as it makes more economic sense and also makes spare parts super easy. It's also why enthusiasts can recreate a lot of movie props to 95% accuracy, it's super neat.

One thing I know about movie/TV cars is the rearview mirror anomaly. Many movie/TV cars had their rearviews completely removed because A: It could block the actors' faces when shooting through the windshield and B: If you shot the car from behind, the mirror would reflect the camera car. Watch a few episodes of _Knight Rider_ or _The Dukes of Hazzard_ after becoming aware of this, and you'll immediately notice it. I suspect it's at least part of the reason why this car's rearview is so weird.

To be honest, apart from the pink color and the quality of production, the choice between the body kit and supercharging it was actually nice. Body kit does look good and the growl from the engine is pretty cool. If only the body kits remained and the supercharger, this would be a cool car today.

Doug: "Handling 7 out of 10" Me: how? The steering wheel isn't straight. (Some of you need to learn how to take a joke)

Doug: "Heres why I dont review modified cars" Also Doug: : "This Honda s2000 is a fast and furious movie icon "

Doug always impresses

Great Video! More moive cars!!!

Names if Doug were ever a rapper: 2shirtz Lil Quirk Featurez CarznBidz QuirksnFeaturez DougScorez

The Dougscore is so unforgiving that a literal F&F car gets an 8 for "cool factor" haha.

im so glad they are preserving this car

I love the way it looks on the outside.

Imagine if he reviewed the blue Silvia in Tokyo drift

Now he needs to do Brian’s Toyota Supra and the 2F2F Skyline GTR R34

This one was fun, its cool to see how movies are made and how they can hide some much in editing and those quick half second action shot how much you miss. You should check out the original Gone in 60 seconds Mach 1 Mustang, They used just one original car for all the stunts and it is just a wreck, that one would be funny too. And I'm guessing the revving problem might have to do with some kind of a vacuum leak with the supercharger or something like that. She just needs some TLC, to bad it weren't for sale.

2003 Pimp my Ride era 😅

I'd love to see an uncut version of this with people yelling at Doug, lol
