The GRANDADDY OF ALL CAR CHASE MOVIES
12 February 2003
Yes, like most others, I saw that great embarrasment of Cage and Jolie's careers. The others in that movie only re-iterate how sad and overblown the movie and plot were. I think the original cost about a third of what ONE stunt costs in the new one. Anyhoo, my point is, that if you love great blow ups, and brooding actors, don't watch the original. However, if you love car chases, jumps, and find yourself a closet Dukes of Hazzard fan, this is the movie for you. One of the best parts is actually seeing the opening of one of the most traveled freeways in L. A. and seeing it turned into a demolition derby. H.B. actually got a bunch of friends, and did this masterpiece. I heard that the owner of the dealership near the end didn't actually have any idea what was actually to take place. hehehe Hands down the best and I mean THE BEST Mustang chases ever recorded on film. I bet Ford got a huge kick out of seeing the actual car being creamed by other Plymouths and Dodge Sattelites and driving away at 65, not to mention it is the ONLY car used in the chase. No Hollywood stunt cars here.
