Race for Glory (1989)
Sorry,not realistic in any way
Sorry,this movie sucked when i saw it 30 years ago,and still sucks today. As someone who was involved with motorcycle racing for 15 years,all i can say is, very little of this movie is true. Sure,you can still build a bike,and race,but you first start off on the amateur circuit,working your way up the ranks to expert and proffesional. Money is a huge factor,it takes a bundle to get anywhere,travel and the expenses of staying at hotels or camping,fuel costs,parts costs,will all break you pretty fast. We did the endurance racing with a team for a time,and even if you place decent,your winnings total very little when you split them up. Sorry to rag on this movie,it just isn't that good and not very realistic,and a bunch of us who raced laughed at it hysterically. The best part of the movie was Pamela Ludwig.
The Wayward Bus (1957)
Good little film in basic character study
First saw this film about a year ago,and it turns out i really liked it!This has the basic elements of character studies,and gives good insight into them all within the hour and a half time.You have the overworked and under appreciated bus driver,his wife,who is overworked and a depressive drinker,who works the little restaurant and bus stop.Then you have the wanna be actress and the bus driver's helper appropriately named"pimples".The blonde bombshell(Jayne Mansfield) a dancer,albeit,a stripper no less.The salesman with confidence,the over-protective parents with their daughter and finally the stern old business man who has no patience.All In all a good little movie worth the time to invest in watching it,nothing super exciting,but just a lower budget film with good but predictable script.
