Trivia:

While only basic plot elements are shared with the original Gone in 60 Seconds (1974), one is the location of the last car. Eleanor, a classic Mustang (a 1973 model in the original, a 1967 in the remake), was parked at the International Towers in Long Beach.

Goofs:

Continuity: After Memphis injures Eleanor in the alley by breaking off the passenger side mirror, and the engine stalls, Memphis attempts to turn the ignition with a key. But he did not have a key when boosting her.

Quotes:

Kip: Hey, what time is it?
Atley Jackson: Seven-thirty. I think I'm gonna have to - get you outta town or something. Your brother's the best boost in the world but I don't how if he's gonna make this one.
Kip: Uh, I'm not like my brother. You know, I don't just abandon my friends.
Atley Jackson: Oh, man, I oughtta smack you silly, boy.
Kip: Well, go on then. Straighten it out.
Atley Jackson: Your mother told him to go. She knew that if Memphis stayed, you were gonna walk his line. You were gonna join his crew. But she told him to pick up and go. And he did, thinking it was best for you. He left all of us, for you. I guess it wasn't that big a deal for him though, really. Wasn't that big a sacrifice leaving everything he'd ever known behind. Than six years later, ain't life grand? You became a car boost anyway. How 'bout that?

Rather disappointing

When I watched the trailer of Gone in Sixty Seconds on TV I was quite looking forward to see this movie. However, after I did, I was very disappointed. I had expected a kind of "Bullit 2000". I can't help myself, but there are far too few cars scenes in this movie, and the big chase at the end wasn't as exciting as it had looked like in the trailer. It seems to me like they have forgotten how to put suspence into movies nowadays... not to talk about a story...
