Product Description

How far would you go to get the person of your dreams? In the first Eating Out, Kyle (Jim Verraros) convinced his straight roommate to pretend to be gay in order to get the girl. Now, with the help of Gwen (Emily Brooke Hands) and Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan), Kyle pretends to be heterosexual in order to land Troy (Marco Dapper), the new guy (and nude model) who's turning the heads of both men and women. He soon finds himself joining the campus ex-gay support group and nabbing a girlfriend (Tiffany)! Kyle's ex-boyfriend Marc (Brett Chukerman) is horrified at the plan and decides to pursue the confused Troy with his own tactic -- being his "out" gay self. Who will win Troy first? In the boy eat boy, boy eat girl, bisexual mystique of Eating Out 2, the stakes are raised, sexual boundaries are obliterated, and the answer is never what you might expect!

if you loved the first this was beter.......2007-06-27

if you like cheesey comedy you love this one because it is loaded with sex and horney driven people. It was a laugh a minet and one of the male leads is well lets just put it this way puts alot of men to same:).

Good not so clean fun!.......2007-06-14

First, let's get this out of the way, this isn't an Oscar-contending, high brow, expensive piece of cinematic art...but this is a great movie that will do a great job of making you feel good. Although it may be considered low brow entertainment, I think the film is a competent commentary on contemporary expressions of love and attraction--why do you have to be gay or straight or carry any label, just love who you love!!

All in all, I think the characters are superbly portrayed, and the acting and directing (in my untrained eye) are all quite well done. If you want to see a great movie that doesn't mind poking fun at everyone with any kind of sexuality, check this one out!

Fun Fluff on the Outside, Some Solid Statements on the Inside.......2007-06-07

'Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds' is a sequel that is not really a sequel - unless the common thread of social attitudes and gender dilemmas as an ongoing tale is the source. A low budget, well scripted, tightly directed (Phillip J. Bartell) little film about gay relationships, attraction blunders, and pretending to be something we aren't (mixed representations that Shakespeare used a lot!) result in a light and ultimately charming little movie.

Kyle (Jim Verraros) loves Marc (Brett Chukerman) but tires of Marc's obsession with one-night stands and the relationship is 'over'. Pining Kyle is supported by his two loony girl friends Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan) and Gwen (Emily Brooke Hands), each with gender attraction problems of her own. In an art class taught by flamboyant pseudo-straight Neil (Michael Serrato) the three meet the new nude model Troy (superstud Marco Dapper) and together they hatch a plan to repair Kyle's old damage: Troy for all his demeanor is a bisexual who wants to be straight.... maybe and supplies the key to a game of deceit. The manner in which Kyle fakes a relationship with Tiffani in order to convince Troy to join him in a 'change-over program' (read, get close to him...) leads to a series of hilarious 'go straight' classes and confrontation with parents who play both sides of the 'support our sons' game and leads to a perky ending that just happens to make some comments on perceptions of people, with reality winning.

The cast is young (with the exception of Mink Stole and Sarah Lilly, both of whom offer solid professional backgrounds to their roles) and attractive and seems to be having a great time pulling off this light farce. There is plenty of spectacular eye candy (Marco Dapper, Brett Chukerman, Nicholas James, Adrian Quinonez, James Michael Bobby, etc) and the women's roles are kept light and genuine. A great movie it is not, but a fun diversion it most assuredly is. Grady Harp, June 07

Entertaining fun farce, kind of a gay "Friends".......2007-05-31

Kyle recently broke up with his boyfriend Mark, and is whining about it to his best friends/fag hags, Tiffani and Gwen, when he gets a pleasant surprise in their college art class: a jaw-droppingly gorgeous nude male model named Troy. Troy is also a student at the college, and admits he has had some same-sex experiences, but feels they were wrong and that he needs to find a "best buddy" who can help him go straight. Kyle pretends to be a "reformed" homosexual himself, in order to get close to Troy, and accompanies him to a meeting of the school's "ex-gay" support group. Meanwhile, Mark sees Kyle with Troy and gets jealous, and tries to get close to Troy himself. In the end, everyone bands together to expose (literally) the hypocritical leader of the ex-gay group.

"Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds" (2006) is the supposed sequel to 2004's original "Eating Out" film, and has characters and actors (with the exception of Ryan "Desperate Housewives" Carnes, who was replaced by Brett Chuckerman in the role of Mark), although it is actually a stand-alone story that doesn't require familiarity with the first film. The actors (especially former "America Idol" contender Jim Verranos as Kyle) seem to be more comfortable in their roles this time around, newcomer Marco Dapper (as Troy) shows significant acting ability, and there are more funny scenes than cringe-inducing ones this time around. The film is also improved by the casting of Mink Stole as Kyle's mom, Adrian Quinonez (from Here!TV's "Dante;s Cove") as one of the (not-so)ex-gays, and Michael Serrato (from Logo's "Big Gay Sketch Show") as a flamboyant art teacher. Besides the hypocrisy of many in the ex-gay movement, the story also tries to teach lessons on parental acceptance and trust in a relationship, but it really doesn't register on that level. DVD includes "making of" featurette and director commentary.
Don't expect great filmmaking; it's obviously a low-budget farce, and works well on that level. Based strictly on the story and direction, I'd give it only three stars, but it gets an extra star for being great fun and providing some dazzling eye candy!

"EATING OUT 2: SLOPPY SECONDS"

Tasty Dessert

Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride

"Eating Out" was a big hit at festivals and among viewers and when something is well received and enjoyable, it is only logical to use the idea and do a sequel. Even though this movie is called "Eating Out 2" is not really a sequel but a movie unto itself. And it is a good one.
Ask yourself how far you would go to find and get the man of your dreams. Kyle (Jim Verraros of "American Idol" fame) is gay and asks his roommate to pretend to be gay to get the girl of his ideals. With the help of two friends, Gwen and Tiffani, Kyle pretends to be straight so that he can land the new guy n town, Troy, a nude model (who has what he needs to be a successful nude model). Kyle suddenly finds himself becoming a member of an ex-gay group on his college campus and finding a girlfriend there. Meanwhile, Kyle's ex-boyfriend is aghast at the plan and he decides that he will go after Troy himself by being openly gay. The plot concerns itself with who will win Troy and live happily after.
This is a fun movie but does not reach the level that the original "Eating Out" did. "Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds" falls into the category of farce with lots of slapstick humor and it is very, very funny, Not as slick as the first "Eating Out" the sequel stands on its own and I loved it. When I say this one did reach the level of the first, I meant that it was not as professional but overall I liked this one much more. There is lots of clever dialogue and hysterical moments and pokes fun at "gay society" today. It has a good laugh at the expense of mocking the stereotypes of the gay lifestyle and thereby allows you to look inside of yourself after you have finished laughing yourself into a catatonic state during the actual movie.
The casting is as close to prefection that you find in a low budget film. The actors are fun to watch and they seemed to be enjoying themselves during the filming. The guys are HOT and great eye candy.
This movie des not pretend to be anymore than a good time. Nothing is serious and the fact that t may cause some introspection does not mean it has a message. If, indeed, it does have a message, it is "Enjoy". Overall this is a movie to enjoy--you don't have to think, you can just sit back and laugh. One of the highlights is Mink Stole playing Kyle's mother. Her comments are wonderful and it was good to see her again back on screen. In her final scene, she manages to walk away with the movie in her back pocket. But she is not the only good thing about the film. If you want to see a movie that is just pure enjoyment, this is the one for you.

Good Collection.......2007-06-15

Some of these may have been available before now, but none in a WWII set that includes shorts and cartoons from the period. Pick any two you like and they are worth the price. "Command Decision" with Clark Gable as General Casey, a serious officer commanding a bomber group in England, is wonderfully realistic. "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" with Spencer Tracy as Jimmy Doolittle leading the first bomb raid on Japan is excellent. The others are just bonus as far as I'm concerned and a very good one at that. "The Hill" is a good military prisoner movie with Sean Connery as a prisoner. "36 Hours" with James Garner is good espionage movie. Air Force is resonably decent account of a B-17 crew that witnessed Pearl Harbor starring John Ridgely. "Hell to Eternity" with Jeffrey Hunter and David Janssen is about Hispanic boy raised by Japanese-Americans and fought for United States. Fans of WWII movies should enjoy the set. I recommend it. Especially for a Fathers Day gift.

dvd availability.......2007-03-24

I'm not sure about THE HILL, but the other 5 titles in this collection have NOT been on DVD--at least legitimiate disk. AIR FORCE, THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO, and COMMAND DECISION are all wonderful war or combat films (there's a difference between the two--see the books on the genre by Mike Mayo, Thomas Doherty and Jeanine Basinger). It's great that other classics such as THE PURPLE HEART and even the less stellar SO PROUDLY WE HAIL are finally being released this spring on DVD. Collectors and film historians should appreciate all of these titles that really reflected the country's mood between l94l and l945. Propaganda was such a vital component on the home front and these movies show us the nationalistic side of the American people at the time.

great collection.......2007-03-13

I disagree totally with the above reviewer. These films are excellent. The only one I am not thrilled with is The Hill, all the others are very good WWII films. I have been waiting for Command Decision for a long time. This collection will not disappoint.

Sub-standard WWII Collection.......2007-03-12

Of the 6 films, 3 are old films made in the '40 (Air Force; Command Decision; 30 Seconds Over Tokyo) and widely available in dvds for sometime.

Hell to Eternity is an obscure war film. 36 Hours is more fitting for espionage catagory. The Hill, which is probably the most powerful film among the 6, is a prison film.

A carefully selected Sidney Lumet Collection is highly anticipated.

One of two worthy purchases from the trilogy.......2006-07-12

Now that I've finally seen all three of Halicki's films I have concluded that the only ones worth purchasing to the average Halicki fan (as opposed to a hardcore fan) are Gone in 60 Seconds and Deadline Auto Theft and I'll tell you why. We all have to agree that pacing a chase film wasn't Halicki's top talent as all of his films can drag and move slowly even during the car chases, especially to new young fans like myself who have been raised under a higher standard for action films. This problem is only horribly bad in The Junkman which I view as just an overall boring movie (with the tiny exception of the Vette hitting the old woman) so skip that one. With the other two, Deadline is like a Gone remix with a lot of boring parts taken out and new scenes for some extra story added in. I guess you could say it was bored out. Hehehee. So in conclusion, Deadline is the one you watch and Gone is the one you keep as a collectors item.

This was an unfinished film, due to the fact H B Halicki dies while filming it........2006-06-04

Someone correct me if I am wrong, it is to my understanding that H B Halicki, the writer, star and director of Gone in sixty seconds 2, died during of all things a boat stunt while making this movie. It would be correct to reason; poor editing and use of footage from his other movies was due to the fact the writer, star and director(not to mention the $producer$) was DEAD! that could explain it.

Buy it to say you have them all, but don't take it out of the shrink wrap!.......2005-10-20

I own all of H.B. Halicki's films, mainly because I thought they were interesting projects, and the camera work was decent, although the production qualities left much to be desired, yet not bad considering the lower budget. I have always told people to see the original "Gone in 60 Seconds," in spite of the fact it isn't as glamourous (what would you rather have - a Shelby GT 500 or a '73 Mustang) as the Nicholas Cage remake. I think it is a better film. "The Junkman" was a film that really allowed us to see how Toby could do with more money. I think he did quite well, and thought it was neat that he incorporated the chase scene from "Deadline Auto Theft," and helped the actor plot along without wasting time on the next project. I really had my hopes up for the third film. Then I thought it was really swell that there was extra footage. I sat down to watch it, with the DTS surround track of course. At first, we all have to suffer through Denise Halicki's poorly rehearsed introduction where we watch her stumble over cue cards she never learned. Finally the movie starts. I thought it was pretty neat for the first ten minutes. I was looking forward to more. Then, suddenly we show up at Eugene's wedding. I then thought "He's getting married again." It seemed different because is was better edited than the original scene, but the same footage, with a new dialogue scene. Then the 40 cars are mentioned and I said, "Oh crap." Then it goes right into the original film. While that may not have been terrible, nothing fits. There are great differences in characters appearance. They look older in the dialogue, and the quality of the film hasn't deteriorated like the original Gone in 60 Seconds reels.
[...] Barely any of the first scene was shown in "The Junkman." This could not possibly be an attempt to show viewers the best of both films. THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FILMS. The characters have different names. I also have never heard of a millionaire Hollywood actor/Insurance investigator. In other words, that could not possibly be his intent.

After watching the film, I think he had a great thing planned, but money was a problem. As his widow says in the intro to the action sequences of the incredibly tacky "Gone in 60 Seconds 2," Toby always did the action sequences first and then the dialogue. He probably realized there was no way that he could make his great feature film, so he said, "lets redo the dialogue from the original, and stick it in replacing the original dialogue." The film was marketed as a legitimate film, not just a collection of the best from the first two films. Watch the trailer. It is something new according to him.

About the footage from "Gone in 60 Seconds 2"

I am very happy this film was not actually finished. It is not inventive and the action sequences aren't very original. About the Slicer, I HATE THAT THING! What made the first film so great was pure driving. That is how he got out of the situation. He didn't have some stupid machine that overturned cars. If the film was finished, I would have still seen it. It just seems to me that Mr. Halicki was trying to milk the original film for all he could. He didn't do to badly with the Junkman, but he should have stopped there.

I would buy this DVD, but don't pay retail. It isn't worth it. I would venture to say that if you really wanted to see it, you could make "Deadline Auto Theft" yourself by playing the first 10 minutes after the opening credits of "The Junkman" and the last 80 or so minutes of "Gone in 60 Seconds" And, you wouldn't have to listen to Denise Halicki.

Three = One?.......2005-09-23

I started watching this movie, Deadline Auto Theft, and about 10 minutes into the movie I realized, that it seemed rather familiar. Then it hit me, it was the same as the first movie, just with a different introduction. The only difference between the Third and First movies is the opening car chase and then minor scenes within the movie to tie in that opening scene with the rest of the movie. At first I though that I just got a faulty DVD or something and that there was a mistake, but then I noticed that in the extra part of the the DVD there was the trailers to all three movies. I watched the first and third trailers, and those were basically the exact same thing. Again, they put in the one different car chase, and changed the name, but other than that, it was the same trailer too. All in all, it was still a good movie, because so is the first one, but I wish there was actually a different story line, or something different about it.

A Worthy Finaly To The Halicki Trilogy.......2004-04-14

I want to start this by saying ignore all the other reviews.What you have to understand about Deadline Auto Theft is yeah it is 90% footge from Gone In 60 Seconds and The Junkman his second film but he was not trying to rip people off as some reviewers think Deadline Auto Theft was intended as a little pet project of his own.By the time he wanted to do a 3rd picture he had been in the buisness a while now and had learned the tricks so hewanted to take the best of Gone and The Junkman and put them togeher for people who may not have seen either of the origionals kind of "you missed it the first time well here is the best of what you missed" I do think it was misleading to call it the 3rd in the trilodgy as its not really a new film but that doesn't matter.As for Gone 2 its a tragidy that it was never finished its great with sooooooo many crashes and The Slicer wedge stunt car if this had been finished I suspect this would be my favorite anyway if you new to Haliki films don't get this first you'll be confused get the origional Gone In 60 Seconds but for anybody who knows his work and is waery of getting this due to the other reviews I sugested you get it its definatly worth it

David Schachter, Tucson, AZ.......2003-06-25

Two of my most beloved joys: mountain biking and French films! Those of us who ride understand the amazing relativity of time, especially on the bike. Not only does the movie truly capture many of the very "in" concepts of the sport, but it also addresses the concept of how many of us are closing off our hearts by throwing ourselves so fully into an activity. Riding is great! Love is better.

how to grow up on a bicycle.......2001-12-02

I saw this movie about a year ago, so I'm a little fuzzy on details. Anyway, it's about this young woman who loses her competitive edge in mountain biking and ends up retiring. Still, she can't give up biking and finds a new way to earn a living. The story is fun and uplifting, and the two main characters are both well portrayed. You don't have to be into mountain biking to appreciate this movie - there's plenty of looks into the biker sub-culture. In a way, you learn about it as the main character learns. Plenty of good laughs, too. Also, i love subtitled movies - some of the translations crack me up. Definitely worth checking out if you read through my whole review.

Low budget but very clever.......2001-05-27

In this obviously low budget film there is far superior entertainment than most bloated big spending blockbusters. Though the main character's life is unfocused at first, the story is very carefully pieced together. While bicycle racing is used as the main plot sevice, the theme applies to anybody who has a goal in life and wants to succeed. The characters are all very real, even the bicycle store proprieter who could seem a bit mythic. I thoroughly enjoyed this clever movie, and I suspect anybody who dreams about improving their life will too.

It's all relative.......2001-02-24

This is a film about cycling, but more importantly, about TIME. The critical two seconds stretch out for what seems much longer, and then there are moments in the film in which time literally stands still. Others when it rushes on. For the protagonist, speed is one way to slow time.

But it's not the only way...

The 'competition' is hilarious. As is the shopowner's reaction to the protagonist's first request.

Tech-head messenger meets cranky roadie!.......2000-11-16

The title pretty much says it all!

Charlotte Laurier plays a professional downhill mountain bike racer who hesitates by two seconds just before starting the biggest race of her life ... and loses by that very same two seconds. After being fired by her team, she returns to her native Montreal and gets a job as a bike messenger.

Needing service one evening, she discovers a small shop owned by a cranky Italian former professional road bike racer (and now master mechanic).

Amazon.com

The title refers to the time required by all rodeo cowboys to stay on a bull if they want a judge's score. For them, such a short time can seem like an eternity. The same is true of the beginning of this true story, a country tale of Lane Frost, a real-life, crowd-pleasing bullrider who rose to rodeo fame in the late '80s. The characters seem so irrepressibly good, so unreal, that the film comes out of the chute without a buck or much of a purpose. But Frost's story, and that of his relationship with his wife, Kellie (Cynthia Geary), eventually gains momentum. Luke Perry is an underrated actor, and he balances an "aw-shucks-ness" with an internal spark that makes that salt-of-the-earth stuff not so salty. When the film is finally over and the end credits show home movies and stills of the real-life Frost, you'll wish the ride was just a little longer. --Keith Simanton

Customer Reviews:

Great movie=one you won't want to miss!.......2007-04-11

This movie is great. Some of the details are inaccurate to the real life story of Lane Frost. I don't know how many times I've seen this movie-probably more than 10.

Lane Frost Rides Again...........2007-03-14

Luke Perry is excellent in this Bio-Pic of Rodeo great, Lane Frost. This is a great film. Stephen Baldwin is a laugh riot as Bull Riding Champion, "Tuff" Heddamen. This is a really well put together film. I really liked it. Nobody can deliver a "feel good" movie like John G. Avildsen (Karate Kid, Rocky)....and this is no exception. You really get a sense of who Lane Frost was, and what the "Rodeo Life" is really like. It will make you laugh, it will make you mad, and it will make you cry. This is a great film that is definetely worth the price of admission. So, saddle up and get ready for a great ride !!! 4 Stars.

Best Little Film You Never Heard Of.......2007-03-04

Long before the PBR became a household word, there were world champion bull riders Lane Frost and Tuff Hedeman. Luke Perry and Stephen Baldwin bring these characters to life.

Based on the true story of Lane Frost, this movie takes a few artistic licenses (adulterous affair, ect) but basically stays true to form. You can't help but like Lane and Tuff, and get caught up in the world of bull riding.

A few swear words and the aforementioned affair should be explained to young viewers before watching but otherwise the movie is ok for kids.

Brought Back Good Memories.......2007-01-20

I went down the road many a night heading to the next rodeo listening to most of these songs. Lane was an exceptional person he had a good heart, Lanes theme says it all.

great story for both men and women, young and old.......2007-01-19

this is an absolutely wonderful movie. its got something for everyone. i love it for the great rodeo scenes and all that revolves around being a cowboy and rodeo life. my girlfriend loved it for the love story. absolutely brilliant movie, great story.

The Italian Job meets the Ocean's series........2007-06-18

A very pleasant surprise, Gone in 60 Seconds, is an adventure that brings to the screen the story of a former car thief who is forced back into stealing in order to save his little brother's life. The problem is that he has to steal 50 exotic cars in only three days' time...
Nicolas Cage, Robert Duvall, Giovanni Ribisi, Angelina Jolie, Vinnie Jones, and the rest of this AMAZING cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are commendable to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few thrills, not to mention a few laughs.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor (!), and the music (!) are all wonderful!
In short, Gone in 60 Seconds is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection! BRING ON THE SEQUEL!

NOT JUST A GUY MOVIE..........2006-12-05

This is a moderately entertaining, fast paced action film. Nicholas Cage gives an engaging performance as a reformed master car thief, known as "Memphis" Raines. Giovanni Ribisi convincingly plays his stupid, younger brother, Kip Raines.

"Memphis" comes home to help his younger brother, Kip, who has followed in his older brother's footsteps but is not as skilled at stealing cars. Having screwed up a major car boost, his employer, a sadistic, maniacal individual, will kill him, unless "Memphis" agrees to fulfil a contractual obligation of stealing fifty top of the line cars for which Kip's "boss" has made a commitment. The only glitch is that "Memphis" has a decidely short deadline in which to make his quota.

For reasons that those who view the movie will immediately discern, "Memphis" agrees to this thankless task. He gets his old crew together and with his former nemesis, a hard nosed detective played by Delroy Lindo, in hot pursuit, the games begin.

Look for lots of action, some great car chase sequences, and a bit of suspense. If you are looking for some mindless entertainment, then this film will fit the bill. Kick back your shoes and hang on for the ride!

Product Description

Eating Out: Caleb (Scott Lunsford), a hunky poli-sci major fresh off a breakup with the aggressive Tiffany, is shocked when his gay roommate, Kyle (American Idols Jim Verraros), lets him in on a little secret: Gay men can get any girl they want. Armed with this tasty tidbit of knowledge, Caleb agrees to a plan hatched by Kyle, and finds himself pretending to be gay to woo Gwen (Emily Stiles), a smart-mouthed cutie with a penchant for boys who like boys. Soon Caleb realizes his plan is not as simple as he first thought. . . . At Gwens urging, he finds himself roped into eating out with her hunky roommate Marc (Desperate Housewives Ryan Carnes)who is, naturally, the object of Kyles affection. Can Caleb find a way to reveal his true feelings for Gwen without hurting Marc, or will both he and Kyle be left out in the cold? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eating Out 2 - Sloppy Seconds: How far would you go to get the person of your dreams? In the first Eating Out, Kyle (Jim Verraros) convinced his straight roommate to pretend to be gay in order to get the girl. Now, with the help of Gwen (Emily Brooke Hands) and Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan), Kyle pretends to be heterosexual in order to land Troy (Marco Dapper), the new guy (and nude model) who's turning the heads of both men and women. He soon finds himself joining the campus ex-gay support group and nabbing a girlfriend (Tiffany)! Kyle's ex-boyfriend Marc (Brett Chukerman) is horrified at the plan and decides to pursue the confused Troy with his own tactic -- being his "out" gay self. Who will win Troy first? In the boy eat boy, boy eat girl, bisexual mystique of Eating Out 2, the stakes are raised, sexual boundaries are obliterated, and the answer is never what you might expect!

When car nut and aspiring B movie maverick H.B. "Toby" Halicki released his debut film, he gave top billing to his car, a yellow 1973 Ford Mustang named Eleanor. That's a good indication of Halicki's priorities in the original car-crunching, tire-squealing drive-in classic Gone in 60 Seconds. Halicki wrote, produced, starred, and did all of his own extraordinary stunt driving in the picture, the story of a career car thief who makes a deal to steal 48 cars for an overseas smuggler. OK, it's not Shakespeare. The plot is perfunctory at best, and Halicki's all thumbs when it comes to directing his wooden cast, but he gives a crash course in the mechanics of the car-theft biz and tops it off with one of the greatest car chases of all time: a 40-minute finale that roars through five Los Angeles-basin towns and destroys 93 cars in the process. It's a masterpiece of stunt driving, down-and-dirty photography, and sharp, furious cutting; the unsung hero of the picture is editor Warner Leighton, who paces the film perfectly and never lets it stall. Forget the messy Nicolas Cage in-name-only remake, this is outlaw auto cinema at its purest. --Sean Axmaker

A turbo boost of adrenaline.......2007-06-25

Fire up the Delorean, it's time to travel back in time, back to the 70's. You'll easily recognize the timeframe in this movie, with the bell bottoms and big hair. The porkchop sideburns. The awful polyester suits. And the vintage automobiles.
The plot here is pretty basic--a car thief makes a deal with some overseas smugglers. Steal 48 cars in four days. This story is really just a thinly disguised excuse for the GRAND finale. (More on that later).
The first half of this movie is poorly developed and frankly pretty boring. It does have a cool look at the thiefs stripping the wrecked cars down, transfering the serial numbers to the new cars, and then rolling back the odometer. Other than that I found the beginning quite tedious. The director Halicki was a very inexperienced director, and it really shows.
But he MORE than makes up for it with the famous car chase scene. Yes, it really is forty minutes long. I find it so amazing that this film was made over thirty years ago and it still is one of the most highly charged action sequences to ever hit the screen. Or the road.
That's because it is totally real. No CGI. No stunt doubles. No special effects. You can sense the pure danger that is evident throughout this madness. The pedestrians really are running for their lives during this extended scene, can you believe that? 93 cars were wrecked. The '73 Mustang had a Nascar roll cage installed as the director himself did the driving. This car's name was Eleanor, and she steals the show.
The only reason I bought this movie was the fact it was mentioned in Tarantino's latest film, Death Proof. It's obvious to see the influence this original Gone in 60 Seconds had on ole Quentin. Overall, I give it the edge over the remake.

Gone in 60 seconds, a carlovers dream movie.......2006-06-27

What an awesome movie!!! Filmed in the early 70's, before seatbelt laws and just before the big gas crunch. The stars of this film may not have been the greatest actors (the dialog is a little sloppy) but they more than make up for it with the action. While watching this film you step back in time. Mini skirts, wide lapels on the coats, wide ties, bell bottoms, big hairdos (even on the men) and everyone was smoking something. Cars, cars, and more cars. The big 3 Chrysler, Ford and GM are all well represented in this film, plus imports from VW to Rolls Royce. There is even a chase scene with a Ford tow truck pulling a "Charger" while being chased by a police K-9 unit (of course the tow truck gets away). The final chase scene (which I could never describe adequately) is worth any amount a money you would pay for this movie. If you love to watch that 70's show, old reruns of Adam 12 or Dragnet and you love cars that were built when they still used contact points in the distributer, you must see this film.

Unfortunately I have not seen the movie. I ordered the wrong version. I wanted the one with Nicolas Cage.

Better than ever.......2006-03-10

From the viewpoint of someone who saw the original in the theatres back in the 70s I can truthfully say that the production company has done a superb job of remastering and restoring this great film. The colors are sharper, the audio is much clearer and the video quality is fantastic. A great fun car chase film that has no peer, I highy recommend it for a evening's entertainment that doesnt require too much heavy thinking.

best action scene ever put to film.......2006-03-07

I am glad the other viewers told me that I am not watching the original version, but if you read my title, I'm not really worried about anything except what I see. You are not gonna get any great acting performance, you are getting a movie that has a car chase that takes up half the movie. I certainly would have liked to see this dvd have original sound and remastered sound, but I do have to say that the sound was pretty freaking sweet. i have never seen a movie like this before, so if you have never seen this and don't care about the original version, buy this and you will find out what's up.
