I think they turned right once or twice in their rental car-destroying testosterone race.

Never did, and still don’t, have any interest in NASCAR. Or even racing in general. But I’ve always enjoyed the movie. The wheel chair race that turns into the rental car race and ends up two smashed up cars is a great scene.

I was born in 86, and my brother in 88. We probably watched that movie 100s of times on vhs. Classic.

As weird as Tom is, he sure has some good films out there.

I watched it a dozen times growing up. It’s a good movie. Is it a perfect movie? I don’t know. I enjoyed watching it, but prefer top gun, old school, and tropic thunder more

“Talladega Nights” was much better and more realistic.

Cool behind the scenes clip on making the movie. They told the stunt drivers that did the rental cars to give ‘em hell.

I heard that they initially had like a $10M or $20M budget and tore up like 5 dozen race cars in no time. Took longer to film and the cost soared to like $60M. That's a lot of dough in 1990.

I remember seeing the movie cars at the tail end of the pack at Dover.
They would run about 5 or 10 laps, and then get off the track before the leaders caught up to them.
I could never get into the movie, it was just too corny for me.

Yeah, he seems like weirdo in real life. But I can’t think of a bad movie of his off the top of my head. Pretty sure I’ve liked all the ones I have seen.
