kenratboy Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 My friend and I just watched it yesterday. I love cars, and, well, this is a movie for car people. I mean, a half hour chase scene is hard to beat. The pedestrians: THEY ARE REALLY RUNNING!!! They scared the $hit out of people without prior knowledge. In some of the car wrecks, they destroyed REAL PEOPLES cars, like, they get out of the store and there is a person waiting with a checkbook and asking how they can compensate them. Some of the cars wrecked at the car dealers WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WRECKED. One of the black guys was about a FOOT from being splattered, NOT a stunt. GOOD movie. Down to earth and fun. I will be buying it for myself. It's got DD and DTS. ------------------ Receiver: Sony STR-DE675 CD player: Sony CDP-CX300 Turntable: Technics SL-J3 with Audio-Technica TR485U Speakers: JBL HLS-610 Subwoofer: JBL 4648A-8 Sub amp: Parts Express 180 watt Center/surrounds: Teac 3-way bookshelfs Yes, it sucks, but better to come.

kenratboy Posted August 17, 2002 Author Share Posted August 17, 2002 Remember, this is the origional one, not the new one. However, the new one was pretty good, especially compared to most new movies. I love cars, and seeing cars getting killed is even more fun!!! ------------------ Receiver: Sony STR-DE675 CD player: Sony CDP-CX300 Turntable: Technics SL-J3 with Audio-Technica TR485U Speakers: JBL HLS-610 Subwoofer: JBL 4648A-8 Sub amp: Parts Express 180 watt Center/surrounds: Teac 3-way bookshelfs Yes, it sucks, but better to come.

eq_shadimar Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 I got the original one on DVD before the new one. It is a great 70's flick. The sound and restoration are top notch.

sj993 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Oh, to say I "like" cars is an understatement... heh. I'm always involved with cars everyday in some way, shape, or form. ------------------ I am Canadian!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
