Cars of the Fast and the Furious Eddie Paul

Combining high-action cinematography, a flashy lineup of modified sports cars, and a dose of good old American muscle cars, The Fast and The Furious introduced legions of fans to the high-octane world of street racing and the sport compact scene. In 2 Fast 2 Furious, hot cars again take center stage, this time with director John Singleton at the helm. In both movies, author Eddie Paul was behind the scenes, putting together the hottest selection of cars to hit the big screen since the original Gone in 60 Seconds. The Cars of The Fast and The Furious tells the story of the creation of the modified cars that played starring roles in The Fast and The Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious. Author Eddie Paul describes the entire process, from the monumental task of purchasing 50 cars in a few days, through the modification and paint of each machine, and on to how the stunts were performed in the movies. Exclusive behind-the-scenes photography shows the cars jumping bridges, streaking down Miami streets, and being repaired on the set. Movie techniques used with the cars are explained, including the Mic Rig-a truck used to do set-up shots of stars going down the street in the cars-and the high-tech chase vehicles used to film the cars at 100 mph and more. Also included are detailed lists of the performance parts and modifications on each car, as well as more than 250 photographs of the cars. From the hot Mitsubishi Evo VII driven by Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) to the flaming pink S2000 of Suki (Devon Aoki), this book offers an intimate look at the sexiest cars on screen.Paul, Eddie is the author of 'Cars of the Fast and the Furious Eddie Paul', published 2003 under ISBN 9780760315514 and ISBN 0760315515.
