Here's something you might not have seen before - a behind-the-scenes look at the first Fast and Furious film, made when the movie was still under the working title 'Redline'

While the Reddit thread we spotted this video on today dubs it as ‘unseen’, it has appeared on the Interweb before - the marginally better quality upload above was posted a couple of years ago. Still, it’s not something we’ve seen before, and it provides an intriguing glimpse into the first instalment of what’s become one of the biggest film franchises of all time.

What’s particularly interesting is the film is referred to as ‘Redline’ - a working title eventually ditched in favour of The Fast and the Furious. The Redline title was later picked up for a 2007 box office bomb starring Nathan Phillips (the other bloke from Snakes on a Plane, in case you were wondering).

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
