[blitzkrgCT9A]

Legend of Speed

blitzkrgCT9A i always been curious about legend of speed ever since i read about it back in 99 on streetracingonline.org lol *oldschool site dammmm*

[obsolete]

the fast and the furious hands down

[YoungGun]

Street Racer, i've never laughed harder at a movie in my life.

Street Racer (2008) (V) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1200852/)

Tagline "At 130 MPH, you're never more ALIVE... or closer to DEAD!"

I would definitely go rent it if you're looking for a good laugh.

[ThatGuy]

"2 Lane Blacktop" (I owned a 1955 Chevy, so I'm a bit biased)

"Vanishing Point" (Classic film, minimalistic yet artistc.)

"Gone in 60 Seconds" (The original. Low budget, yet completely amazing when you know what they did with the cars.)

"Gone in Sixty Seconds" (Up until the Bridge/Ambulance Jump, that scene KILLED the movie)

"Bullitt" (Another classic "must see")

"Gumball Rally" (Super Cars + Comedy + Cross Country Racing = WIN)

"Cannonball Run" (An ALL-STAR cast, including Jackie Chan and "Jaws" in a Mitsubishi, nothing more need be said.)

"Smokey and the Bandit" (Part 2 wasn't as good, and part 3 was AWFUL, but still funny.)

"Blues Brothers" (Total Vehicular Carnage!)

"MadMax" (Vengeful husband and father in a supercharged Interceptor. I still want a clutched SC on a V8 to this day!!)

There are more, this is just a quick list. :D

[TehMaverick]

vanishing point

agreed, just watched it yesterday.

[ZenkiKid]

Legend of speed is aiite, kinda funny that they "rebuild" that busted evo but the finished product was a stock evo.

[HyperTek]

anyone see King of the Mountain? suppose to be about some racers and muholland dr.
oldschool 80s movie with dennis hopper
170eDX89gE8
i never seen it might have to look for it lol

[bejota180sx]

how about shuto kousoku trial? the wangan movies (i think i wrote the title correct) i have all but 1 of them... i love to see silvias, Zs, skylines and cars of theyre era the way the used to be modified when they came out...

[Flicktitty]

2 Lane Blacktop
AMERICAN GRAFFITTI (HOW WASEN'T THIS LISTED?)
Bullet
Le Mans
Gone in 60 Seconds (Both)
Vanishing point
smokey and the bandit
Cars lol.

[ALTRNTV]

The Fast and the Furious.

:wackit:

[BustedS13]

"2 Lane Blacktop" (I owned a 1955 Chevy, so I'm a bit biased)

did anybody ever catch the homage fast and the furious has to this movie?

"454 no shit"

Two Lane Blacktop is an AWESOME road movie, and Criterion recently put out a great dvd.
Gone In 60 Seconds (the new one, i've never seen the original)
Vanishing Point
Death Proof (it's about 40 minutes of real stunt driving with a real stunt woman on the hood of a real Challenger. this is the best car chase filmed in the last 20 years, i'm sure.
Blues Brothers (seen it about 30 times probably)
Road Warrior (less about the car in this one but i prefer it to Mad Max anyway)

and... seriously, have any of you really watched Bullitt? everybody should sit through it once i guess, but it is an INCREDIBLY boring movie aside from what i thought was a subpar car chase. the only good part about it is the lack of CGI...

[Nismo ZJ]

Hollywood Knights (1980)
Some sweet cars in that movie, even though it has a bit of a cheesy love plot.

[BustedS13]

redline used to hold the title for "worst car movie ever" until i saw Street Racer. ugghhh

[LongGrain]

biker boyzzzzz

[VQMaxFan]

Lol damn nobody has mentioned CARS yet!!

Tokyo Drift was pretty cool, the first generation monte carlo was so fucking badass.

American Graffiti was good.

2 lane blacktop had some awesome cars, but i didnt care for the movie itself.

edit: aw fuck someone did mention cars

[ZX88]

Christine!

sick movie!

[HUMAN]

initial D

fast and furious TRILOGY

[just1pepsi]

As lame as it may sound. Days of Thunder - I saw it when it came out and I was probably 10 or so and I still think its great. (except for the stupid love story bullshit)

Bullit and Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry are classics.

I actually like the Fast and Furious series (except the drifting one) -- They are entertaining to watch and funny to clown on, so they get points in my book.


Driven might have been coo if they got someone else to play the role that one annying dude played. -- redline seemed like a good idea, but I cant get more than 5 minutes in before I'm compelled to change the channel.

*edited, forgot where I was posting sorry folks.

REDLINE, worked on it :) lol
Horrable!!
We were shooting the money raising 10 minute short for it. The wierd, "you vote" who should be in it campaign they did. Working conditions were so fucked and uncomfortable, (rich arabs and thier vegas thug bodygaurds getting in your face. 17 hour days for $150.), that me and another guy walked after 2 days.

I have the original DVD and they show how they made it. I'll get more info on it when I find it.

Found more info:
"In Claude Lelouch's classic short film "Rendezvous," a Ferrari blasts through Paris on an early Sunday morning with a camera bolted to its hood. At the end, after nine plus minutes of near misses and big rpm downshifts, the Ferrari stops at the feet of a waiting, beautiful woman.

Someone at Nissan likes "Rendezvous." In Nissan's own short, "The Run," a 350Z track model rips through the Czech Republic's beautiful, preserved capitol city of Prague. And, yes, it too ends with a waiting hottie.

As a film, "The Run" is OK. But as a DVD package, it's much better.

Directed by John Bruno, who won an Oscar for the visual effects in "The Abyss," The Run's editing among 14 different cameras works against it. The cuts from a camera aboard the car to a camera in a leading or following car and to stationary or helicopter cameras effectively diminish the sensation of speed. It's impressive Nissan was able to talk the city of Prague into letting it shut down all that road and hire enough people to ensure no civilian wandered out in front of a speeding Z-car, but the illusion of sheer velocity often fades away.

However, the DVD also features unedited footage as part of the "Choose Your Own View" feature in the "Z Extras" portion of the disc, and that footage is far more in line with the spirit of Lelouch's original. It's raw, it's exciting and the Z-car seems to be going really, really fast.

"We spent 12 days in Prague slowly figuring out the 5.7-mile route," explains veteran stunt coordinator Steve Davison, whose car movie credentials includes films like 1985's "To Live and Die In L.A." "We made a pre-run in a police car with motorcycle cops as escort. Our plan was to make practice runs on Thursday and Friday and then shoot on Saturday and Sunday." While they got the Thursday practice in, it so thoroughly screwed up traffic around Prague, they diplomatically skipped the Friday run.

There's only one Z on the screen at any time in "The Run," but three cars were assigned to the production; two equipped with six-speed manuals and one with the five-speed automatic. All were painted in "Le Mans Sunset" and carried the track model's oversize Brembo brakes. During the six different runs made through Prague, the SRS airbags were disconnected from the cars, the Vehicle Dynamic Control system was turned off, the drivers wore five-point harnesses, and supplemental air bags were added to the rear suspension to compensate for camera weight.

"We had a Mercedes camera car but it couldn't keep up," says Davison. "So we used the other Zs as camera platforms. All the car-to-car shots were, in fact, shot Z-to-Z." That's one Z with stuntman Jimmy Roberts piloting and the other with Davison at the wheel.

"We hit about 130 mph along the river and 100 going over the bridge. But we were down to only 15 or 20 mph on the tight corners through the cobblestone streets. We think we ran the whole thing in under six minutes, even though the DVD shows the runs being longer. We're convinced we did it in under six at least once."

Six continuous runs through Prague were made to film the DVD. The three on Saturday included one single car run for helicopter shots and single car runs for exterior shots. All of Sunday was used to generate point-of-view shots with two Z cars chasing and filming each other. It took more than 400 people, including 150 Czech police officers, to secure the course during all of the runs. "In a normal feature film, a chase would be filmed in sections with about two weeks to cover each section," explains Davison. "This was just one fast ride." The drivers were concerned about civilian safety, but there were no accidents during the filming and all the cars emerged undamaged.

The DVD is available at Nissan dealers and on Nissan's special Web site, www.Z.com, for $9.95, and it's worth it. But if all you do is watch the film itself, you'll miss the real excitement embedded in the extras. Beyond the raw footage are excellent commentaries from Davison and Roberts, a brief documentary on the making of the film (but little about the cars actually used), and of course, there's plenty about the 350Z itself since, naturally, Nissan would like it if you bought one-or a dozen.

Nissan did its blast through Prague legally, but DVDs of illegal runs through cities (such as the "Getaway In Stockholm" series) are becoming more common all the time. Seeing the preparation that went into Nissan's "The Run," puts the insanity of those outlaw efforts into perspective."

I liked the European version of Taxi. Not the one with Queen Lathifas fat ass.

LMAO!!, Like they aren't gonna take Hollywood money. That's why people shoot movies over there. Labor cost are like a couple bucks a person a day and no permits are required most of the time.
I got a buddy that does "budget" music videos, and he's always over in those countries lol

...........films like 1985's "To Live and Die In L.A."
I keep meaning to pic this up at Ameoba.
theres a great youtube clip of the chase scene ....I'll just link it,..

"Vanishing Point" (Classic film, minimalistic yet artistc.)

"Gone in 60 Seconds" (The original. Low budget, yet completely amazing when you know what they did with the cars.)

"Gone in Sixty Seconds" (Up until the Bridge/Ambulance Jump, that scene KILLED the movie)

"Cannonball Run" (An ALL-STAR cast, including Jackie Chan and "Jaws" in a Mitsubishi, nothing more need be said.)

"Smokey and the Bandit" (Part 2 wasn't as good, and part 3 was AWFUL, but still funny.)

"Blues Brothers" (Total Vehicular Carnage!)

"MadMax" (Vengeful husband and father in a supercharged Interceptor. I still want a clutched SC on a V8 to this day!!)

There are more, this is just a quick list. :D

All three mad max movies are my favorites of all time.

It's like being a football fan, you gotta be a fan when they suck, not just when they win.

[punk138]

Bullitt

Gone in 60 Seconds the original.

DEATH PROOF: awesome choice of cars

Initial D the movie: story sucked, liked the cars.

[RedStage]

how about shuto kousoku trial? the wangan movies (i think i wrote the title correct) i have all but 1 of them... i love to see silvias, Zs, skylines and cars of theyre era the way the used to be modified when they came out...

Shuto Kousoku Trial 1 (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1061133516712522133)

Legend of speed is good

[iwishiwas-all*]

le mans.

[HyperTek]

i bought le mans last year on dvd and have yet to sit thru a full viewing lol
ill try my hardest one of these days

[Quail]

I need help identifying a film I watched when I was a young kid, which I loved.

It featured this guy going to illegal drag races, and the guys were using Nitrous Oxide (or similar), and blowing up their cars racing.

Also featured some girl (there was a sex scene). At one point he sticks some money on the screen and tells her she can keep it if she can get it. Predictably, he then accelerates and she can't get it.

What film!?!?

[muddafakka]

BMW's The Hire short films were pretty neat.

Ronin
Gone in 60 Seconds (original, hated the remake)
The Driver
Vanishing Point
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
The Bourne movies had some good chases in them
The Italian Job (both original and remake)
Bullitt

I still have yet to see all the Shuto Kousoku movies as well as the whole live action Wangan Midnight movie.

The Transporter movies haven't done much for me. I like the first one's bank robbery car chase but that was about it.

The Matrix Reloaded (I think) had that one freeway chase that was pretty good, along with Bad Boys 2.

On a random note, I watched Heat again last night for the millionth time and noticed that when Robert De Niro steals the Ford Taurus wagon during the shootout, he reverses right into a Nissan 200SX notchback.

[BustedS13]

let's be honest, the highway scene in lethal weapon 4 was awesome.

but it wasn't a car movie

[s13dan]

TWO LANE BLACK TOP only movie James Taylor ever did. I love the 55 chevy in it, my favorte classic american car.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/S13Dan/two_lane_blacktop_criterion_dvd.jpg

I thought Death Proof was badass.
both gone in 60 seconds.
And of course all the classics:
bullit
smokey and the bandit
Madmax
Vanishing piont
American graffiti
and so on...
OH Shit! Anyone remember The Last Race?

[racepar1]

1- le mans
2- grand prix
3- days of thunder

Anybody who does not have le mans and grand prix as their top two racing movies of all time, in any order, fails at car movies. If you have not seen those movies, SEE THEM!!!!!!!!! Those are un-questionably the two best racing movies ever.

The storyline in le mans is pretty good, but the racing scenes are the fucking shit. That movie was actually filmed in a le mans race. The camera car actually ended up in the lead of the race at one point, but had to pull in because they had agreed not to mess with the running order. Those porsche flat 12's and ferarri flat 12's are fucking sex for the ears.

Grand prix has an incredible storyline and the racing scenes are also REALLY good. Not quite le mans good, but dope none the less.

PLEASE see those two movies before posting here, you will not regret it.

[JDM_inspired]

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ftw!

[Sil-Abc]

im thinking 32 hours and 7 minutes will be a good film.

[japslapsilvia]

OH Shit! Anyone remember The Last Race?

isnt that, that short movie, where some dude in an integra won a race against a fox body b/c he mis-shifted?
