Funny Car SummerThis DVD contains some amazing footage of 1960's and 1970's drag racing, and a chance to see current TV drag racing commentator Mike Dunn as a teenager working with his father. You're better off if you know the story before you watch this DVD, as the editing is a bit choppy, and at times the lighting is horrible. Overall, it's an interesting moment in time. |

Fast CompanyThis David Cronenberg film starred William Smith as the owner of a Canadian two-car top fuel dragster and funny car drag racing team. Smith thinks he has hit the jackpot when he lands a major sponsor for his race team. Unfortunately, he finds out in short order that the sponsor is ethically challenged. Smith tries to end the relationship, but the sponsor ends up confiscating his Pontiac Firebird funny car. In the best part of the movie, Smith finds the flopper on display at a car show and steals it back by driving right out the side door of the building! How he got the car started--where he got the fuel--and how he got the body lowered and latched by himself while in the drivers seat is never fully explained, but nevermind! The most memorable part is that in the process of driving it away, he ends up in a street race with a couple of high school kids on the main drag through town! Whadda ya mean?.....It could happen! Anyway, all's-well-that-ends-well when he gets back to the big race, and the sponsor gets what he deserves in the end. What a movie!! The Top Fuel and Funny Car racing scenes are great! Also, watch a 1969 GTO stocker running through all four gears at the strip! Hard to find, but don't miss this one! |

Grindhouse, DeathproofA double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics. |

Italian JobBased on a 1969 Michael Caine film of the same name, thieves plan to pull of the heist of their lives by creating Los Angeles largest traffic jam ever. The plan was flawless... the job was executed perfectly... the escape was clean. The only threat mastermind thief Charlie Croker (Wahlberg) never saw coming was a member of his own crew. After pulling off an amazing gold bullion heist from a heavily guarded palazzo in Venice, Italy, Charlie and his gang -- inside man Steve (Norton), computer genius Lyle (Green), wheelman handsome Rob (Statham), explosives expert Left-Ear (Mos Def) and veteran safecracker John Bridger (Sutherland) - can't believe when one of them turns out to be a double-crosser. Enter Stella (Theron), a beautiful nerves-of-steel safecracker, who joins Charlie and his former gang when they follow the backstabber to California, where they plan to re-steal the gold by tapping into Los Angeles' traffic control system, manipulating signals and creating one of the biggest traffic jams in LA history. Now the job isn't the payoff, it's about payback. |

RendezvousBetter than any chase scene ever filmed, because its real. Renowned French director Claude Lelouch mounted a camera on the nose of his Ferrari, then drove flat out through the streets of Paris, running countless red lights, using pedestrians as apexes and sidewalks as streets. The sound of his roaring V-12 is stirring enough, but the sight of Paris rushing by on the Champs Elysees at over 100 mph makes this "... A must-see piece of auto cinema." Car and Driver. It may be only nine minutes but its non-stop excitement. |

RoninFeaturing some of the most intense, stomach-churning chase sequences ever filmed, Ronin is a tough, uncompromising thriller that will leave you breathless. The director, John Frankenheimer, also directed the landmark racing movie Grand Prix. |

Running On EmptyThis film collects just what it was like to be in Australia in the early 80's. It's about hot cars, hot chicks and hot times. The story begins when two local street racers agree to race Fox, the faster street drag racer there is. After two of the three race rounds, the race is no longer a game, but more of a survival! This movie features 1 of Aussies greatest muscle cars, the XYGTHO. Yeah so the acting not the greatest - it was never made to win an oscar. The car action will keep you comin back for more and more. There is a cool collection of muscle cars from the 70's and an Awesome '57 Chev - with a real cool cat drivin it! Also there is a really cool song sung by Terry Serio the main actor. The acting is pretty funny when taken lightly, but the tyre smokin and drag racing is the main focus in this movie. Big fast cars with pleantly of steel(NO PLASTIC CARS), and some cool street dragging. |

Smokey and the BanditIt's easy to assume this is just another dumb redneck comedy from Burt Reynolds's years of underachievement. But it's not bad as a dumb redneck comedy at all. Directed by career stuntman Hal Needham, Smokey and the Banditis just a goofy chase starring a bunch of Reynolds's Hollywood cronies. New to the job as film boss, Needham brings a silly but energized sensibility to the production and an action man's need to see things moving. But he also has a distinctive feeling for relationships, and he's good with a joke. Put all that together, and Smokey is, at the very least (and unlike its sequels), a simple and original pleasure. |
