History Film / GoneInSixtySeconds2000

* AdaptationalNationality: The people who hired Maindrian Pace in the original film are heavily implied to be Latino (and even more heavily implied to be from TheCartel). Raymond Calitri, while constantly referring to be working on behalf of "his clients" (info about them not supplied) is Northern British like his performer, Creator/ChristopherEccleston.

* AdaptationalKarma: The people who hired Maindrain Pace to steal fifty cars end the film [[KarmaHoudini completely untouched by the law]] (and aside from the scene in which they hire Pace, not appear any further in the film). Raymond Calitri, however, ends this film very much dead and it's heavily implied that the people who hired him to get the cars will have the LAPD on their tails in very short order.

* WeaponForIntimidation: Sphinx does this to get Mirror Man, one of Kip's crew, with a folding knife to shut him up as he was upset that Sphinx simply pried open a control panel.

* StupidCrooks: Kip at the beginning of the movie, when he steals the Porsche 911 Carrera, by smashing the dealership's window with a brick, and then driving like crazy, even goading a Honda Civic into a street race. And after attracting police attraction, by driving past a police unit at an excessive speed - assuming that he clearly saw the unit - still proceeds to bring the car to his team's hideout. Also, throughout the movie, his inexperienced and youthfully arrogant crew keep acting stupid and belligerent many times - like stealing a car that wasn't even on the target list.

* EvilBrit: Raymond Vincent Calitri, Played by Creator/ChristopherEccleston. Unusually (for an [[WeAllLiveInAmerica American]] work, anyways), he speaks with a Northern accent rather than a posh London one.
* FakeAmerican: [[invoked]] PlayedWith. Memphis thought Sphinx was from Long Beach [[spoiler: until Sphinx gets in one line with Vinnie Jones's natural English accent.]]

With Detective Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo) and his partner, Det. Drycoff (Creator/TimothyOlyphant) breathing down their necks, they decide to steal all the cars in one night, to reduce the chances of being caught. Also, in case the police are monitoring their communications, all of the cars they are stealing have female code names. The most famous one in the story is the 1968 Mustang, which is nicknamed "Eleanor."

* PassThePopcorn: Memphis and Kip watching from the diner as Johnnie B is arrested.

* ChekhovsGun: Mempis' photo of a Mercedes he took while scoping the cars. On the night of the theft, he notices that a van in the background is now closer (a neighbor had parked between it and the Mercedes, forcing it to park on the next driveway to get a clear view). Deducing that the Mercedes is under police surveillance, he walks away from stealing it and gives Donny a coded message, saving him from being arrested as he was also about to steal a Mercedes that had a police stakeout.

* AsianDrivers: The driving student, who is an Asian woman, is hopeless at any and all aspects of driving.

* ItsPopularNowItSucks: In-universe, Memphis claims this to be the reason why he doesn't want a particular sports car while visiting a dealership. In reality, he is just [[BatmanGambit convincing the salesman]] to help him find a particular, much rarer, and much more valuable car that he intends to steal.

''Gone in 60 Seconds'' is a 2000 action film starring Creator/NicolasCage, directed by Dominic Sena, and written by Scott Rosenberg. It was produced by Creator/JerryBruckheimer, producer of ''Film/TheRock'' and ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'', and is a remake of the [[Film/GoneInSixtySeconds1974 1974 H.B. Halicki film of the same name]].

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Memphis, Sway, Sphinx, Kip and ... Otto.

** Just to clarify, the name is just as alleged. Memphis assigns Eleanor to any 1967 Shelby Mustang GT-500, and that he's previously attempted to steal them before. When the introduction of Eleanor scene takes place, it's mentioned that Memphis flip one and drove one off a pier.

** Discussed ([[RedHerring although thankfully it doesn't leads to much]]) when Kip's crew steals a car that wasn't on the list because it was just parked in front of a restaurant with the keys on the ignition. As Memphis points out [[FiveSecondForeshadowing seconds before they discover the cocaine in the car's trunk]], maybe the man who left the car like that did it because he knew nobody in the neighborhood was stupid enough to steal it and make him angry.

* StupidCrooks: Kip at the beginning of the movie, when he steals the Porsche 911 Carrera, by smashing the dealership's window with a brick, and then driving like crazy, even goading a Honda Civic into a street race. And after attracting police attraction, by driving past a police unit at an excessive speed - assuming that he clearly saw the unit - still proceeds to bring the car to his team's hideout. Also, throughout the movie, his inexperienced and youthfully arrogant crew keep acting stupid and belligerent many times - like carjacking a car full of heroin that wasn't even on the target list.

* TheVoiceless: The Sphinx spends most of the film without saying a word (when Memphis calls him to ask for help, he asks Sphinx to punch a button to see if he's still there). When Sphinx makes a solliloquy at the film's denouement, the caper crew is pretty surprised (although they then joke that they didn't expected a British accent).
