So, as a big fan of cars and racing I like this two great movies:
- Gone in 60 Seconds.
- Fast and Furious.
Their debut was around the same time as I recall, and they made modding and tunnning cars popular along the U.S. Also brought a huge tunnner passion here in Chile and as I’ve heard also in Peru.
The first one is about a retired car theif that comes back to scene to save his little brother mess up (apple doesn’t falls too far from the tree right?). Cool thing is thought, that this guy (Nicolas Cage), he used to boost cars just for the fun of it, he didn’t do it for the money, he just liked running fast cars through the strips of L.A. where the movie takes place. It’s a really good movie, and I recomend you to buy it on blue-ray and a hopefully enjoy it in a huge hi-fi system to hear all the great car noises, specially in the Porsche and Ferrari scenes.
Here is a little trailer for the movie:
In the other hand, and being a little more into the tunning cars, you have this other great movie called “Fast and Furious”. the movie is all about street racing giving you an inside scoop on the racing and gambling done with tunned cars. The movie is all about getting to a group of black honda civics that chase loaded trucks of diverse merchandise and steal their content through an amazing ambush and blasting movements with them. It’s also a really great movie since it takes a while and a deeper look to the street racing underworld.
Again, here is a little trailer for you to have fun:
Conclusions:
Both of them are really good movies to watch. Nevertheless I rather rent Gone in 60 Seconds just because of the feeling of it. I think the magic in that movie is hearing the amazin Eleanor Mustang sound during the chasing scenes. Fast and Furious it’s good too, but sometimes it’s just too off reality.
So, hope you enjoyed my small reviews about them, and try to get some time to watch them.
See ya.
