    Paul Walker didn’t just play a laid back SoCal car guy in The Fast And The Furious movies, he was a laid back SoCal car guy IRL. The role of Brian O’Conner fit him like a glove, so it’s no wonder it became the defining role of his career. But there was more to Paul Walker than fast cars, explosive action, and cheesy lines-a lot more. Join host James Pumphrey as he gets you Up To Speed on the late, great Paul Walker!

    I love how he actually lived the character out in reality. He was so happy about people calling him Brian in public. He felt like a super hero. That was like his role for the franchise and people associated him with it.

    Paul also came personally to Chile in 2010, to a small town called Pelluhue in wich he used to surf, after a devastating earthwake. He provided relief for the injured and affected locals. As recognition for his help, and love of surfing, a street is named after him and he also has a commemorative plaque.
    A real hero if you ask me

    I still remember bugging mom for months to take me to the first f&f movie and the night the movie came out, cars everywhere rocking all sorts of mods I have never seen in my life. That was the night I learned that regular everyday sports cars can be as fast if not faster then the exotics I grew up loving. At 10 years old, that was the night I became a car guy. 20 years later I'm still as obsessed and as nuts about it as I was then.

      Yeah hearing / seeing James get emotional got me emotional as well. I still remember where I was when I heard that he got into that car accident and didn't survive.
      Never met him but he's the reason why I got into JDM sports cars. Before that I was strictly a muscle car guy. Wound up owning a Datsun 200sx, an Acura Integra, and a Toyota Supra and MR2 due to him making me appreciate cars like that.

    I was around 10 when I heard the news of Paul's passing. My sister had told me about it and I was in complete shock. At first I kinda just went on with my day but later on that night, the first Fast and Furious movie was on and at the end as he walked into the sunlight, I just burst into tears. My dad had to comfort me and help me calm down. My dad had watched each and every movie with me, he was the one who got me into the movies, but Paul was the one who helped get me into the cars. I wanted an R34 Skyline even more than I wanted the latest Challenger or Camaro because of him. And now learning about him and his efforts with Reach Out Worldwide only solidifies in my heart what a good man he was. May God bless him and may God bless James. the Walker family, and the Donut crew for telling his story.

I was a sophomore in high school and literally just got home from Walmart picking up fast and furious 6 on DVD to watch with my mom and sister, got 10 minutes into the movie before I hopped on Instagram only to see the car crash all over my news feed. It was so devastating for me because the fast and furious series was the sole reason I fell in love with cars. Paul Walker was a huge inspiration for me as a kid. I started learning about the JDM culture and devoted so many years to the automotive industry hoping one day I could drive cool cars like him one day. People may have a lot to say about him goof and bad but one thing you can't take away from him is the fact that he along with the cast inspired a whole generation and showed us how cool import cars really are.

    Man, I could feel the raw emotion from the narrator/vid creator on this, and also sympathize. Growing up, Paul was like a role model to me. I have my "favorites" when it comes to actors, but Paul was my ACTUAL favorite actor.
    I still remember the day my wife sent me a text saying "Did you hear? Paul walker from Fast and furious died. Isn't he your favorite actor or something?". I thought she was just playing with me, and joking around. I go pull up a search on Google to find out and confirm its all real. The moment I discovered my wife wasn't playing around, my heart sank and I literally started tearing up. I thought to myself "this can't be real. This isn't happening". I was in denial. Then I started telling myself "I'm never gonna see him again, in any movie. That's it.... it's done. He's gone."
    I just wanna make a point here, so people understand. I loved Paul walker as an actor so much, that I would even watch the garbage/unpopular no name movies, if he happened to be in it. That's all it took. Even if it was a crappy no name movie, I would watch it, JUST because he was in it. I liked and respect him THAT much as an actor and as a person. To his day, every time I see a new fast and furious movie with him not in it, I tell myself "he should have been in this"
    RIP Paul. You touched a lot of hearts, and had much love from your fans. 👍

    I used to watch 2f2f on the DvD on repeat when i was like 2 years old not even knowing what cars were at the time, but growing older and getting to know Paul from the movies made me a car guy and wanting to be like him. That Sunday when I heard the news of the crash I lost a part of my self. I will always miss him and I 'm sure one day we will meet. RIP Paul.

    Paul was such a great guy. He was in a jewelry store when a veteran was trying to buy a ring for his fiancé but ultimately couldn’t afford it. Paul overheard the situation and paid for the engagement ring. Legend.

    It's strange that he didn't mention Joyride. That's my favorite Walker movie outside of TFATF series. I was 16 almost 17 when the Fast and the Furious came out, seen it at a theater in Allentown, PA. I seen alot of car movies at that point but this was on a whole new level and I learned how cool Paul Walker really was. He became my favorite actor. I made an attempt to see everyone of his movies that came out afterwards. I remember working on the shipping docks at my job and hearing about his fatal car accident and I actually cried for the first time in how many years, I almost left work early that day. People like him don't come around everyday. He was like the Clint Eastwood of the car community where he was calm, cool and very hard to dislike. I'm 38 now, I still love tuner (and American Muscle) cars and every now and then I'll spend an entire weekend watching the Fast and Furious movies with friends that I grew up with. R.I.P Paul, you are loved by many and never forgotten. 🤘

    When I was 14, I used to joyride in my dad's 1993 300zx; just around the block and back in the garage.
    One day I got the balls to take the car on a main street. Was doing fine and when I decided its time to come home, i went for a u-turn, tried to floor it, and ate a curb hard. Literally limped it home, called dad and told him what happened. Never cried so hard in my life.

    I had such a huge amount of respect for Paul's attitude. Hated the limelight, just happened to work in one. Loved cars and loved people. I try to have that same attitude. That first movie made me change from a muscle head to a tuner nerd. I took a 1994 Ford Escort, probably the most bland small sedan of the early mid 90's (I figured it was a 4 banger, but still had those domestic ties) and put a full body kit, custom rims and paint job on it. Had the underglow lighting and everything. I even molded Acura Integra headlights into the front end and totally changed the look of that car. Won 3 car shows with it. Wouldn't have turned a wrench on it without that movie.
    Paul's work with ROW is unmatched. Self funded, in the trenches with his own two hands. That's how a car guy gets things done.
    He did more to help the car culture have a major resurgence than just about any other single person and he probably did more good for people in need out of his own pocket and with his own two hands than any other single person. If you want a damn fine example of a man and a good human being, look not one step further. Paul was that guy.

    I freaking love this episode and he is one of the major if not the main reason I'm into cars as I was growing up (2000 kid). One thing I didn't hear mentioned about the accident is that the Porsche that he was in had the original dealer tires from years before and weren't structurally sound anymore. As far as I know it was a recent delivery/purchase for the tuning shop and they where taking it for a quick ride around the business parking lot. Apparently as they accelerated as you would expect the rear end came loose and they missed the slight curve in the curb and kit a pole at the outside apex of the turn. From what I've heard, if the tires where replaced there was a genuinely decent chance he'd be here today.

    • @THEONLYNIKOMATH
      @THEONLYNIKOMATH Před 2 lety +7

      To add about tire life, I've personally seen tires that look completely fine on the outside completely delaminate and shred themselves in seconds. At a local auto x event a member had a set of old tires they wanted to try sliding around the course a bit with and we said no problem as he was a skilled driver and the course was away from anyone. He then lit up the tires and it rained down the entire tread within about 3 turns. We had to spend about 30 mins with every driver marshal and spectator to sweep and pick up chunks of rubber. Just because they look ok dosent mean they are.
