2 Fast 2 Furious is one of my favorites of the series because it feels like playing NFS in away-from-computer mode (that doesn't exist, obviously). The second movie doesn't take itself seriously. There are no stakes, no excessive talk about "family", but the cars are cool, really cool if you're into 90s paint jobs.
The characters are larger-than-life here, parodies compared to the later movies. After the events of the first movie, Brian O'Conner has moved to Miami where he races cars. His best bro is Ludacris with a giant 'fro, and you've also got other stereotypes like Suki racing in a pink convertible and Roman (Tyrese Gibson) who says "cuz" a lot.
Some of the most famous cars from the FF franchise are also in this movie, colorful ones that are meant to represent the street racing scene of that era. We don't need to tell you that shiny paint, graphics, and chrome wheels were important back then.
Brian is representing for the Nissan crowd with a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, famously painted silver with Shelby-like blue stripes. Some people say that car is riced to the teeth. But why is that such a bad thing?
This story isn't just a walk down nostalgia lane. Last year, a Japanese engineering school called NATS created quite a few special-looking cars. Two of them have received another layer of polish and recreated a scene straight out of Fast and Furious, but with a modern twist.
The silver convertible GT-R is meant to look like the R35, so the generation that came after the one in the movie. It's replicated the paint, the big wing, and flashy wheels. Of course, it's also not a real GT-R, but a 350Z roadster with a face swap.
And in the orange corner, we have a modern twist on Brian's Supra from the first movie in the franchise. Students from the Japanese school made the world's first 2020 Supra convertible, this time using the Lexus SC 430 as their base car. Side graphics have been added, so now the orange Toyota sports car looks even more like the movie prop.
