But it followed a series of sensational Indy 500s that frankly, spoiled fans and the media when it came to lead changes and on-track action. He must content with a new school, new bullies, new temptations and his poor relationship with his father. I'll admit, considering that it probably had a budget of a penny and a piece of string, the production value is okay, and the screenwriter clearly knows his car jargon. Why would they put that in? Another point which no one has pointed out is the use of the 2011 Mustang in this movie. Very large veriety of cars in the movie! Any changes made to the racing package become an important topic. Some of the reviews on here compared this film to Fast and Furious, which doesn't hold water as far as I'm concerned.
There's a movie much better than this, even better than Tokyo Drift. The only negative I have is: it's predictable. Older car buffs might see this. The value of this movie is as an object lesson in abject stupidity. They acting is good, camera work is good, plot-line is good.
You find yourself understand how the characters feel, rather than them having a larger than life element. The protagonist is played by Joseph Cross who was twenty five at the time this film was released and who looks nothing like a seventeen year old. A Buick Grand National plays a significant role in the film, and is a recurring sight throughout, and there are scenes exhibiting an Oldsmobile 442, Chevrolet Bel Air and Nova, and even the Lil' Red Express 1979 Dodge D150 drag truck. Why would Danny's father let him compete in the drag race if he was caught street racing and he said earlier that he wouldn't sign him up for the race if he was caught street racing? I saw this movie on the cable video store and it caught my eye. I also didn't find any stupid logical mistakes which ussualy occur in films like these.
I wouldn't mind watching it again. At the party Danny runs into the local hot shot Jake Kendall. Hope they make a sequel! Also another plus is the final scenes of the movie take place at the race strip, which in my opinion and through out this movie, is trying to get the underlying message that knuckleheads need to start taking this race scene back to the track instead of the streets. For starters, the story, while not very original works very well, and even the borderline cliché characters are pretty likable and even realistic. The plot takes hints of FnF - Toyko Drift , Kid gets caught racing by the cop's , mum's had enough and sends him off to live with his father , who he just happens to have not have seen for the last five years. Irresponsible and forced are the best words to describe this farce. Moreover, car culture and drag racing is more or less accurately represented where other movies fall flat.
The opening credits have one race with a late model mustang and late model Monte Carlo, which then has your imports. My personal favorite character, the father of the protagonist, played by veteran John Pyper-Ferguson, puts forth an excellent effort, managing to be lovable, despicable, and humorous all at once. As the biggest race of the year, every change and issue are analyzed under a stronger lens. I guess they couldn't afford a newer one or even a bodykit for the crash car. His father, mother and teachers are trying to help him, yet one teacher wants him to race in this competition. After much consideration, she sends him to live with his estranged father, a retired race car driver who left Danny as a child to pursue a career in Nascar racing.
If you want to waste 94 minutes of your life, go ahead and watch it. Danny Krueger is a twenty-year old street racer who plays by his own rules. Even someone who knows a lot about cars can enjoy it because they apparently had some tech people involved who weren't idiots. I saw this on Netflix and thought I'd give it a whirl. Doesn't that present a conflict of interests? How the hell can he afford to run a Subaru with no job??.
The movie is aspiring to be 2nd rate, the racing artificial and the love interest tween. The kid gets in trouble with the police, mom sends him off to live with his father, the kid and his dad don't get along, now there's trouble at the new school. Literally the best movie, I ever watched! Less action then Fast and Furious movies, but none of this far fetched stuff, It's pure Japanese vs classic muscle, Acting is surprisingly good, Cars are decent, I highly recommend this film, Gave it a 9 due its lack of some racing. The research has clearly been done when it comes to the techno-babble strewn throughout the film. There are more scenes like that including a new 5. The dialogues does fall on its face a few times, but no film is perfect.
Danny Krueger is a twenty-year old street racer who plays by his own rules. The powerful and inspirational biopic is to be released Oct. Now, if you're not a gear-head a lot of the lingo will go over your head, but if you're not really into cars or racing movies then I don't see why you would be reading reviews for a movie about cars and racing? He gets sent to a high school where he begins dating the girl who only became popular by dating the cocky and arrogant alpha racer. Now for my spoiler: Why did the mother let the kid take his car with him to his father's house? Despite having trouble bonding with the father that left him, Danny decides to ask his father for help entering a drag race, and realizes that the two have more in common than he had originally thought. Tension soars on and off the track, and a terrible incident leaves Danny without a racing partner.
Curious to know what the movie's about? Since the beginning you know how the movie will be end. After winning a scholarship to the prestigious Fast Lane Racing Academy, Danny finds himself competing against some of the fiercest young drivers in the world. It had just enough action, romance and all that. The weather and tires will be the biggest things. That aside the cars get good cam time and you get a really nice range of models.
