Talk:Gone in 60 Seconds (2000 film)

the cars
Shouldn't all cars available have their Wikipedia links? Since it's an exhaustive job to do, i'm checking with you first. PrinceCharming 13:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean by "checking with you" since you're just as much an editor here as anyone else. Though, FWIW, what you're suggesting sounds like a good idea to me.  Dismas|(talk) 14:12, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Incredible!!!!!! While reading this entry the edited-for-TV version of the movie is visible upon my TV reception device thingy!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!68.13.191.153 20:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Car Names
Has anyone double checked the car names? I've looked through all the car names and I wasn't able to find some of the cars seen in the film. For instance there is a scene where "Sway" (Angelina Jolie) delivers a silver car to the warehouse, she gets out of the car, pulls out her walkie-talkie and says "Vanessa just took me for a ride" then she says "Man, I love that car." This article claims that Vanessa is a 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger. The car in the film is definitely not a Dodge Daytona, it's not even a 1969 car. It has a very exotic look to it, I'm not sure what it is, but it looks very similar to Saleen S7 (which was unveiled in 2000). I may be wrong, maybe the name of the car isn't Vanessa, but none of the cars listed here match the one in the film. I don't have the DVD or VHS copy of the film to double check, but I'm pretty sure she said Vanessa.


 * She said Bernadine took her for a ride, Vanessa was the blue Charger that pulled up behind her. OverlordQ 12:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

There are also other "boost" cars seen in the film which aren't listed here, but I can't recall the exact scene and I have no clue what those cars were. Maybe someone with a DVD copy of the film can double check the cars? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.17.145.209 (talk) 06:26, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

Cars List
Been trying to get the list accurate but it's come to my conclusion after examining every scene showing the list and/or the chalkboard that some names are duplicated and some cars are given two names and different times. I've reflected those in my changes. OverlordQ 03:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

the Eldorado is wrong, There is no such thing as an Eldorado STS the STS stands for Seville touring sedan a totally different car, the eldorado was named the ETC Eldorado touring coupe for the 2000 model year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.174.196 (talk) 06:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Once again, I've updated the list to include those sourced from the movie. While these vehicle may not actually list, it was what is given. Q T C 10:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I have updated the car list table, so that notes have their own column, and so the table looks tidier. I have also corrected the list of cars sourced from the DVD booklet - as I am the user who has the DVD booklet and added this list to the article orginally. If the booklet would be of any more use, please let me know. It contains some information about the making of Eleanor and the movie, and also actor bios. bitterSTAR 11:43, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Advertising?
At the bottom of the page in external links there are two links to pages about the "Eleanor Mustang," both seem to just be advertisements and have nothing to do with the film other than that one prominent car in the film is featured on those pages. If we are going to start doing that, I think the external links for each article will need pages of their own.

Hence, I am deleting them. If I see them back on here without some further deliberation and consensus by Wiki editors to leave them on (for reasons I cannot imagine exist as of yet), I will just delete them again.Scryer_360 04:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect answers when they played The Car Game...
When they were staking out the cars, they played the Car Game. When Sway was asked about the vehicles Bill Bixby drove in the TV series he starred in, she made 2 incorrect answers. The answer she gave for what Bill Bixby drove in The Incredible Hulk was he drover a truck. He didn't, he walked. And the answer she gave for The Courtship of Eddie's Father was that he walked, when in fact he drove a truck.

I'm quite sure that I'm right on this one, so if we can have some confirmation on it, then cane we add it as part of a trivia section?

Director's Cut
How about a mention of this, including all the differences...

Factual Accuracy Tag
As stated in my edit summary, I believe the Epstein article is factually inaccurate. If a film that made about 2.5 times its production budget actually lost money, than we can expect that of the hundreds of films that are released each year, studios would go bankrupt after every one (except maybe the two best of the year, which would barely scrape out a profit, with a narrow margin too small to pay for the losses of the other films). If I can find support for my view, I think that the information from the article should be excluded from this page, as it is probably more appropriate on another page. --  CB ( ö)  05:40, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. The argument on the page makes absolutely zero sense to me. Baseballbaker23 (talk) 04:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the problem is, the way it is written in this article, the argument is that the movie lost money. However, it is only taking the box office into consideration. I believe that the movie lost $90 million in theaters, but DVD, (eventual) Blu-ray, cable rights, broadcasting rights, etc. have to be taken into consideration as well. When all is said and done, this movie definitely pulled a profit.

As for the argument that if this movie lost money, then all movies do... well, just keep in mind that this movie had a pretty big budget, especially for 2000. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.91.202.133 (talk) 07:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Movie Title?
Is there a reason Sixty is spelled out in this article? The Movie title (as shown by the image used for the infobox even) was titled as "60". Ask me, and this is really confusing. It also seems to me that people would be looking for this movie more often than the 1974 movie. Just a thought but maybe the redirect should come here and the title fixed?!? &rarr;ClarkCTTalk @ 03:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, the title of the movie clearly is Gone in 60 seconds, not Gone in Sixty SecondsLive and Die 4 Hip Hop (talk) 19:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

"Gone in 60 Seconds" is the 2000 movie release the original move is "Gone in Sixty Seconds" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.239.143 (talk) 17:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

The list of cars
Trivia posted

Calitri gives Raines a list of 50 cars that he wants delivered before time runs out. There are two slightly differing lists of cars, one from the informational booklet that came with the DVD, and one that is sourced from within the movie itself, both are listed below. The most common discrepancy is different model years, however there are two vehicles which are unique to their respective lists. Each of the cars is given a girl's name as an identifying code to avoid police attention from saying such things as "67 Shelby GT 500" over the radio.

-- Soetermans |  is listening  |  what he'd do now?  13:11, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

"Eleanor" at the end.
Just watched the TV-edited version on ABC Family again. When Kip tells Memphis that "I parted the chop pile" for it, I got to thinking. You do NOT find chopped up '67 Shelbys in most junkyards. I'm thinking he bought/acquired the wreckage of the stolen Elanor from the scrap pile at Exeter Steel and Salvage. I'm assuming the LAPD seized the place after Calitri's untimely demise. Unless there's a bit more detail on the Director's Cut DVD or someone asks Bruckheimer, it'll be hard to tell though.WiseguyThreeOne (talk) 04:12, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Who ever posted the lines above is a moron. The line from the movie was "I parted out the chopper for it." This refers to the chopper motorcycle in Kip's living room at the beginning of the movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.246.147.222 (talk) 16:50, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

OK, you got me. I forgot all about the bike in his living room. Couldn't rewind a TV broadcast though, and my ears are shot from too many years around machine guns. Still might be where he got the half-wrecked Shelby though. As for the moron part, go play in trafficWiseguyThreeOne (talk) 08:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

What happened here at the end of the page? "Kip presents Memphis with a rusty GT500, rebuilt using parts from his motorcycle". As noted above, Kip parted out the chopper. The way this is written makes you believe you can use motorcycle parts to rebuild a car,lol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.152.188.246 (talk) 02:26, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Raymond Calitri
I saw repeatedly the villain's name as Raymond Halicki. This is incorrect. It should be Raymond Calitri. Thank you.

 * Thanks. That was apparently a vandal editing from an Australian IP address, 49.184.205.177. I reverted their changes.  (I couldn't tell whether their changes to Murtoa were valid, or a mix of misinformation and valid changes, if someone more familiar with Australian geography wants to take a look.) --Dan Harkless (talk) 21:54, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
