The "Sunday Drive" cinema experience

WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!

Death Driver follows washed up stuntman "Earl Owensby" on his journey to regain the title of world champion driver,or something like that.First, Earl Owensby Portrays Rex Randolph,the lead character, he also produced this "movie" and owned the film studio.The movie,well if you want to see a redneck/"Filmstar"stuntman/hero drive a beater Lincoln around the NC country-side,get in a food fight, and generally make the south look bad this movie is Definitely for you.If you took all the rejected scenes cut out of dukes of hazzard this movie would be kinda be like that but without all the good chases.The Acting.UM take people from Shelby,boiling springs,NC,"5 miles from where I live"and put them in a movie without any training,thats pretty much what happened here so its not good.By the way,it says "BASED ON A TRUE STORY" It's not This movie needs MST3K BAD!

For people in Cleveland CO. NC its fun to spot landmarks like downtown Forrest City,or Shelby,My uncle owns the building where the food fight happened,but for everybody else, just watch your grandmother drive around at 35mph and you'll get the same experience. 2 out of 10

One of the cutest movies I've ever seen!

This is a FUN movie -- really well done for an low-budget, "indie" production.

A true story about a champion stunt car driver who makes a comeback after 10 years off the circuit and his adventures to get back to the old Charlotte Motor Speedway and compete in the "Motor Rodeo."

For me, this is Earl at his best -- free-wheeling, to-die-for cute, good story, fun dialog, well directed and edited. A great little film.

I'm sure this was targeted for guys, but as a female, I adored this, mostly because of that cute ol' Earl! Damn! What a good lookin' guy!

I'm a tough sell, but this will go down as one of my all-time fave movies.

Bless you, Earl. What a guy....
