The Fast and The Furious - Brian's Eclipse Explosion Explained - RoadandTrack.com

One of the most memorable scenes in The Fast and The Furious was when Johnny Tran came through with his crew on sport bikes and shot up Brian O'Connor's Mitsubishi Eclipse, causing it to light on fire and explode. It was a spectacular blast, one that needed a bunch of work behind the scenes to come to life.

Craig Lieberman, a Fast & Furious technical advisor, recently uploaded a video to YouTube breaking down the entire scene.

The crew only had one car to work with, so there was only one chance to get the scene right. The interior, drivetrain, exhaust, gas tank, and a bunch of other parts were removed to ensure it was light enough to be lifted by an explosion. A big metal scaffolding was mounted into the cabin to ensure it wouldn't separate when lifted. The windows were tinted so the viewers couldn't see the gutted insides, and the doors were held on only by their front hinges.

In the film, the car caught fire before it exploded. This was done by mounting tubes inside filled with propane, somewhat like what you'd see inside your backyard grill. The bullet holes were made using proprietary metal-shaping tools or miniature explosives. To get the car up in the air, a mortar-style cannon was mounted underneath. The body was coated in a specialized compound to spread the fire and generate the rainbow-like flames you see on-screen.

Obviously, it wasn't "NOS," like Dom yelled.
