I remember cringing in the movie theatre watching Suki’s pink Honda S2000 sail across the sky while she screamed “Yeah, smack that ass!” But after seeing some new-old behind the scenes 2Fast 2Furious footage, the stunt’s cool on a whole new level. Did you know that was a remote-controlled car on a real ramp?

Craig Lieberman, Technical Director, or basically the car-coolness consultant, for the first two F&F movies has been dropping gems of personal footage and backstory about the making of these flicks and I highly recommend you take a look.

Here’s a really interesting rundown of how an S2000 was built with a complex remote-control system so the car could catch hangtime without actress Devon Aoki, or a stunt double, having to eat airbag. Ironically, the people controlling the “Honda R/C” following closely behind in a Dodge Durango weren’t so lucky.

I mean, they were generally OK apparently, but their SUV wasn’t supposed to go off the jump and, uh, it a little bit did. Here’s the whole story:

Another reason to watch this video, if you’re still not enticed, is to learn what a “Mic Rig” is.

Lieberman’s been sharing Fast & Furious facts for years and , but for whatever reason it seems like he’s been inspired to drop some new nuggets of the franchise history on YouTube and I am 100 percent here for it. You can rest assured I’ll be sharing the other goodies on Jalopnik too, so stay tuned.
