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.

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." |
