Trivia for Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000)
Angelina Jolie, Delroy Lindo, Giovanni Ribisi, and Scott Caan were also trained in stunt driving by Bobby Ore, albeit not as extensively as Nicolas Cage.
During the scene where Sphinx and Mirror Man are stealing the HumVee 2-Door Pickup, it was not originally scripted for the police car to fall off of the ramp. Vinnie Jones had pushed the stunt driver just a little off of the ramp but did not have enough room to drive the HumVee past. He gave it a little more gas and the HumVee smashed the car off the ramp. In the elevator afterwards Jones said to the stuntman, "That'll teach ya!"
The road runner decal in the window of Otto Halliwell's (Robert Duvall) shop is the same as the tattoo that Nicholas Cage's character had in Raising Arizona (1987).
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.
When the crew finds the heroin, a toolbox in the background bears the name "Binford Tools", the name the company that sponsors the show hosted by Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) on "Home Improvement" (1991), which was produced by Touchstone Pictures' television division.
When Mirror Man is talking to the clerk at the police impound yard, a sign can be seen in the background that reads "Gone in Sixty Seconds".
The ultra-rare McLaren F1 was originally supposed to be in the movie, but after the producers couldn't get their hands on one it was replaced with another supercar, the Jaguar XJ220.

The scene in the movie where the whole crew has to get the detective (Delroy Lindo) to blow away drug evidence with a car's exhaust, is the one portion of the film that is virtually identical to the original Gone in 60 Seconds (1974). This might help explain why the scene was included in this version, as it was completely extraneous with regards to the film's plot.
After some disagreements with the director about re-writing process, Scott Rosenberg left the project. The writers Jonathan Hensleigh and J.J. Abrams came in and did uncredited re-write on the script.
In one of the earlier drafts of the script, it included various things from the original film. For example, Memphis puts on a disguise that makes him look like an old man when he goes to steal Eleanor (the same way the lead character in the original did). Also, the reason why Sphinx was called Sphinx was because he originally was written to have no nose (similar to the famous structure in Egpyt), and that he had a pair of glasses that added on a fake nose that he wore only during the overnight boost.
Cinema Vehicle Services actually produced 12 different "Eleanors" for use in the production of this film. None of the 12 were actual Shelby Mustangs but converted standard 1967 Mustang fastbacks. Of those cars, seven survived the filming in various states of repair. A 13th Eleanor, based on a real 1967 Shelby GT500 was prepared by Cinema Vehicle Services for producer Jerry Bruckheimer, but that car did not appear in the film.
Seven Eleanor replicas were made for use in this movie. Five of them were totaled during stunt sequences. Nicolas Cage and Jerry Bruckheimer kept the remaining two. Cage regularly takes Eleanor out for joy rides while Bruckheimer is afraid of driving her.
Nicolas Cage did most of his own stunt driving for the film. He attended a race car driving school in Phoenix, Arizona, Willow Springs (another car driving school), and the Bobby Ore Stunt Driving School in preparation for the film. He liked the race car driving school so much that he continued to pursue it as a hobby after shooting was completed.
The only true Shelby GT500 in the movie was given to Nicolas Cage's character by Giovanni Ribisi's character at the end of the movie. The owner consented to the vehicle being used as long as it was returned in the original condition. Every part that could be unbolted, was and replaced by a junked replacement part.
Christopher Eccleston did not actually have his drivers license during the shoot. He did not choose to take the drivers test until several years after the film was released.
Goofs for Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000)
Continuity: Memphis breaks the passenger side mirror on "Eleanor" while reversing. Shortly after that, it is unbroken, and then broken again.
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.
Continuity: When Toby is looking for car locations on the computer he calls the Jaguar XJ220 Hillary. Later Otto crosses the Jaguar off the list and calls it Stacy. Later Sway exits the Jaguar and calls it Berndine.
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Detective Castlebeck at one point refers to a "1967 Shelby Mustang". This is a Mustang that was customized by Carroll Shelby under contract to Ford, a fairly rare production model. Some have misheard this as "Chevy Mustang".
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The car jump at the end, while extreme, would work if done with a 15 degree ramp at 100mph.
Continuity: When Memphis and Sway are in a stolen car together, Sway puts on red lipstick "matching" with the car's color. A few scenes later her lips are natural colored again.
Continuity: In the dialogue right before Sway and Memphis nearly have sex in the car, Sway has lipstick on her tooth (front-upper). The next time the camera zooms in on her, it's gone.
Continuity: When Donny steals the silver Jaguar saloon (XJR) Otto is seen crossing out "Jaguar XJ220" on
