anyone interested in drag racing must see this . it be a true gem and a true american road movie . it be timeless in a human sense and i love it . the first time i do see it be back in the 80 and it still hold that special ingredient to make me come back for more . as far a i know it be suppose to be a car version competitor of the bike film of that time . i believe it do not need to prove itself to anyone . a true cult film . the main actor who we all know be perfect for the part they play . i lose my video copy of this film so i be look to replace it with a dvd soon . anyone who dislike this film can not really like road movie and my only criticism of the director of such film be that they do not make more of these old style drag race come road movie . i be sure any new film make like two lane black top will sell a true drag fan young and old be hungry for them . ask anyone that like drag race and i be sure they will agree . no fancy stunt etc just good clean road race with handful of drag racing will do thank you .
