Fast N' Loud

Mike: DUDE, I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS MOVIE.

STEVE McQUEEN? PSH.

SEE? THERE YOU GO. THAT AIN'T NO CGI.

THEY'RE NOT MAKING THIS ON A COMPUTER SCREEN.

MAN, I LOVE THIS MOVIE. "BULLITT."

HOW ABOUT THAT '68 MUSTANG NOW?

Richard: ORIGINAL MOVIE HAD TWO CARS

BECAUSE THEY KEPT TRASHING THEM.

THEY'D FIX ONE AND WORK ON THE OTHER ONE.

WOW.

[ ENGINE ROARING, TIRES SCREECHING ]

SO THEY CLOSED OFF 60 BLOCKS OF THE CITY.

-60? -SAN FRANCISCO.

THAT'S PRETTY AWESOME RIGHT THERE.

YEAH, HELL, YEAH.

STEVE McQUEEN WAS LIKE THE CLINT EASTWOOD OF HIS GENERATION.

CLINT EASTWOOD WAS HIS GENERATION, MAN.

Richard: THEY TOLD THE CITY

THAT THEY'D ONLY GO 30 MILES AN HOUR.

THEY GOT UP TO 110.

-OH! -OH, MY GOD.

[ ENGINES ROARING, TIRES SCREECHING ]

BOOM. SO THERE YOU GO.

SO I LOVE THAT MOVIE AND ALL, BUT WHY ARE WE WATCHING A MOVIE?

CHECK THIS OUT. I MET WITH CHAD McQUEEN YESTERDAY,

STEVE McQUEEN'S SON. -YEAH.

WE'VE BEEN INVITED TO BUILD THE COOLEST CAR

THAT GAS MONKEY'S EVER BUILT

TO RECREATE THE MOST BADASS CAR CHASE

EVER SHOWN ON FILM.

RECREATING THAT SCENE THAT YOU JUST SAW.

OH, !

YEAH!

Narrator: RIGHT NOW, ON "FAST N' LOUD"...

YEAH!HOT ROD-HUNTER RICHARD RAWLINGS

IS BACK TO PROVE THAT GAS MONKEY GARAGE

IS STILL THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

...TO BRING THE MOST FAMOUS SCENE

IN THE MOVIE "BULLITT" BACK TO LIFE.

SO YOU WANT TO RECREATE THE CHASE?

Narrator: PLUS, A FAVORITE TRUCK WITH A LITTLE DING

TURNS INTO A BIG TRAIN WRECK.

IT WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE WALL.

AND THEN, A LAST-MINUTE DISASTER...

IT'S MISSING A TOOTH.

...COULD SPELL DOOM FOR THE MUSTANG'S

SAN FRANCISCO DEBUT...

IF WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT, WE RISK

LOSING THE CAR FOR THE SHOOT.

Narrator: ...WHERE IT'S SET TO STAR IN THE MOST HISTORIC STUNT

IN "FAST N' LOUD" HISTORY.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

TODAY, I'M OUT HERE AT TEXAS MOTORSPORT RANCH.

WE'VE BEEN OUT HERE A FEW TIMES. IT'S A GOOD LITTLE RACE TRACK

DOWN THE STREET FROM THE SHOP.

ODDLY ENOUGH, I GOT A CALL FROM CHAD McQUEEN,

STEVE McQUEEN'S SON, AND HE SAID HE WANTED TO TALK TO ME.

AND WHEN STEVE McQUEEN'S SON CALLS, YOU ANSWER.

THERE HE IS.

NOW EXACTLY A GREAT DAY FOR THE RACE TRACK, IS IT?

HORRIBLE. GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.

-RICHARD RAWLINGS. -I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, RICHARD.

-NICE TO MEET YOU, FINALLY. -RIGHT ON.

-NICE TO MEET YOU. -THIS IS MY DAUGHTER MADISON.

-MADDY. -MADDY.

-HI. CHASE. -MY SON, CHASE.

CHASE. HOW ARE WE DOING, GUYS?

Chad: MY KIDS ACTUALLY TURNED ME ON TO RICHARD AND HIS TEAM.

I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED AND AMAZED

HOW QUICKLY HE'D GET THINGS DONE AND TURNED AROUND.

Richard: CHAD IS THE SON OF LEGENDARY MOVIE ACTOR STEVE McQUEEN.

HOLLYWOOD'S KING OF COOL WAS A TOP BOX OFFICE DRAW

DURING THE '60s and '70s

IN FILMS SUCH AS "THE GETAWAY," "THE GREAT ESCAPE,"

AND MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE CAR CHASE FILM, "BULLITT."

YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF MY DAD'S PICTURE,

"BULLITT."

LIKE HIS DAD, CHAD'S BEEN IN DOZENS OF MOVIES AND TV SHOWS.

HE WAS ONE OF THE COBRA KAI IN THE ORIGINAL "KARATE KID."

HE GOT BIT BY THE RACING BUG.

CHAD STARTED RACING DIRT BIKES WHEN HE WAS ONLY NINE

AND QUICKLY MOVED ON TO RACING CARS,

BUT HE WAS FORCED TO RETIRE IN 2006

AFTER CRASHING HIS CAR INTO A WALL AT DAYTONA.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN CHAD'S GIVEN UP ON COOL CARS.

NO, SIR.

THEY'VE GOT THE NEW STEVE McQUEEN EDITION

MADE BY STEEDA AND FORD.

IT HAS MORE HORSEPOWER, UPGRADED SUSPENSION AND TIRES,

STEVE McQUEEN BRANDING.

WHOA.

YOU CAN SEE THEY PUT MY DAD'S NAME ON THE SUPERCHARGER.

Richard: IT'S A MODERN INCARNATION OF THE OLD '68 FASTBACK,

BUT WITH MORE THAN 775 HORSEPOWER

AND RIDING ON NITTO G2 HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES.

IT'S GOT A COOL LOOK.

IT'S THE MODERN VERSION OF THE ACTUAL

'68 McQUEEN CAR IN "BULLITT."

PRETTY GOOD LOOK.

WE'RE NOT HERE AT THE TRACK TO PARK IT.

NO BACK SEAT, KIDS.

CHAD McQUEEN'S GONNA PUT IT THROUGH ITS PACES.

TODAY'S ALREADY BEEN COOL, DOING A HOT LAP WITH CHAD McQUEEN,

BUT THEN HE DROPS THE BOMB ON ME --

THE REAL REASON WE'RE MEETING HERE TODAY.

RICHARD, THE REASON ME AND MY FAMILY CAME OUT HERE, MAN --

I'VE BEEN WATCHING WHAT YOU DO, RIGHT?

WE CAME ALL THE WAY OUT HERE, DUDE, TO FIND YOU,

AND I'VE GOT ABOUT 32 DAYS TO GET TO,

UH, SAN FRAN WITH A REPLICA MUSTANG,

BUILT SO IT WILL TAKE THE JUMPING

AND THE BEATING WE'RE GONNA GIVE IT.

AND WE'VE GOT CLEARANCE TO SHOOT ON THE STREETS

THAT MY DAD SHOT.

Richard: SO YOU WANT TO RECREATE THE CHASE?

-SOME OF IT. -OKAY.

-WHAT DO YOU SAY? -YEAH, I'M DOWN FOR THAT.

Richard: THE MOVIE "BULLITT" PREMIERED IN 1968,

AND WHEN IT CAME TO HOLLYWOOD CAR CHASES,

IT WAS A GAME CHANGER.

"BULLITT"'S FASTBACK MUSTANG VERSUS THE BAD GUYS'

BLACK CHARGER, RACING EACH OTHER AT BREAKNECK SPEEDS

ON THE HILLY STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO.

NO SPECIAL EFFECTS, ALL REAL, ALL AWESOME STUNT DRIVING.

THAT TEN MINUTES OF ACTION, SQUEALING TIRES,

AND HEART-STOPPING JUMPS WAS, TO THIS DAY,

THE GREATEST CAR CHASE OF ALL TIME.

Chad: WE NEED SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HOLD TOGETHER

BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO GET BEAT TO HELL.

IF THEY COULD DO IT IN '68, I'M SURE WE CAN DO IT TODAY.

Richard: CHAD McQUEEN WANTS ME TO BUILD AN EXACT REPLICA

OF THE '68 MUSTANG HIS DAD DROVE IN THE MOVIE "BULLITT."

WHY RECREATE THE CHASE NOW?

IT'S AN HOMAGE TO MY DAD,

AND, AGAIN, THE 50th ANNIVERSARY, DUDE.

IT'S GONNA BE SEEN BY A LOT OF PEOPLE.

YOUR WORK WILL BE SEEN.

TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS AND THE FAMILY ON THIS

IS GONNA BE JUST A BLAST.

Richard: WOW. TO BE LINKED WITH McQUEEN AND THAT CHASE?

WELL, THAT'S THE ULTIMATE.

WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GET THIS RIGHT

BECAUSE IT'S CHAD'S WAY OF PAYING HOMAGE.

Chad: GOOD WAY TO HONOR MY DAD.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT BUILD A REPLICA CAR,

BUT THEY DON'T GO SHUT DOWN SAN FRANCISCO.

RIGHT. I MEAN, IS THAT AWESOME?

HECK, YEAH, IT IS.

THIS IS THE BEST EXPOSURE GAS MONKEY COULD EVER ASK FOR,

SO I'M FOOTING THE BILL.

YOU CAN -- YOU CAN HELP US OUT IN 32 DAYS? YEAH?

OH, THAT'S NO PROBLEM. I CAN BUILD A CAR.

THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

THIS IS GOING TO BE SEEN BY A LOT OF PEOPLE,

I BELIEVE, AND A LOT OF DIEHARD "BULLITT" FANS,

AND THERE'S A LOT OF THEM.

DON'T UP.

WELL, I'VE GOT MY WORK CUT OUT FOR ME.

I'VE GOT TO GO FIND A CAR.

Y'ALL HAVE FUN.WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE'D LIKE TO STOP IN IN A FEW WEEKS.

IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU?

YEAH, LET ME GET THE CAR AND GET IT TORN DOWN

AND YOU GUYS CAN COME BY AND SEE IT.

GIVE ME A HOLLER.

WE DON'T PASS UP A CHALLENGE AT GAS MONKEY.

I HEARD THAT ABOUT YOU GUYS.

WOW. I DID NOT EXPECT THAT.

PRETTY DAGGUM COOL.

CHAD WANTS THIS CAR TO BE BUILT JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL

"BULLITT" CAR, AND THAT'S A HUGE ASK.

TO GET THIS CAR WITH ALL 1960s PARTS,

TO HOLD UP THROUGH THE BEATING

IT'S GOING TO GET FROM THE CHASE SCENE.

WHEN STEVE McQUEEN ARRIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO

TO RESEARCH THE ROLE BEFORE FILMING,

HE WAS ALREADY FOCUSED ON THE CHASE SCENE.

ONE EVENING, HE WENT ON A MOTORCYCLE RIDE WITH DON GORDON,

WHO PLAYED HIS PARTNER DELGETTI IN THE MOVIE.

McQUEEN CAUGHT SOME AIR ON ONE OF THE HILLS THAT NIGHT,

AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

Russell: GAS MONKEY GARAGE.

OH, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYBODY'S HERE.

LET'S SEE IF I CAN'T GET THEM TO COME OUTSIDE.

[ ENGINE REVVING, TIRES SQUEALING ]

WOW.

WHAT'D YOU DO, BLOW UP YOUR TRANSMISSION?

I'M RUSSELL HOLMES, A PROJECT MANAGER FROM NEW YORK.

YOU MAY KNOW ME FROM RICHARD'S OTHER BUSINESS VENTURE,
