Should be a fun one. I think I’ve read 2 or 3 books of the story already.

Goes against every ounce of my being to think of sitting through a Ford rah rah rah movie. But I can't help but love a good car movie.

looks awesome

[nismodrifter]

oh man

[Ekliptix]

F&F all over again, with the anticipation.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

I'm stoked, Go Like Hell is a great book and this should be an awesome flick.

[tonytiger55]

This looks awesome...

[msommers]

Fuck yeah! The Grand Tour did a nice mini-doc on this as well.

Just got back from this movie.

Other than this horrendously obnoxious chick sitting a couple rows back the experience at chinook was decent. Not a great turn out, but it was late.

I really enjoyed this movie. I am somewhat obsessed with the story of Ken miles already. But this was a very glossy portrait and cinematically enjoyable view.

The acting was believable and well cast. This movie somehow made it through without being typically cringy. No forced love story or attempts at being to clever.

I suspect the reviews done by non car people will cast this in a dim light, but as a gear head this movie was made properly.

GO see it. Then see it again by yourself. I adored this movie in the same way I adored rush. (rush Imo was slightly better). Definitely light years ahead of many other Hollywood massaged and molested car stories.

Saw it as well last night. Very well done movie! Acting was great and the story kept you hooked through the whole thing without much gimmicks. Couple of moments where the car scenes weren't too realistic (shifting sounds, push the pedal more to overtake, etc.) but it didn't detract from the whole experience.

Would put it behind Rush on a ranking but not by much. Highly recommend watching it in IMAX!

[msommers]

Really, really enjoyed this! The side screen threw me off but you get used to then eventually (not it's not the whole film). Wish they would have highlighted a bit more engineering work but other than that, very enjoyable film. Even my fiance liked it!

Really good movie. I have to watch Rush again. I think the drama in that movie was more intense.

That was the best thing about this movie, it was a car movie that even my wife loved.

I need to look into some details on the movie though. The big push by the one Ford exec to sewer his own team seems like it must have been Hollywoodized, hard to imagine someone being that stupid over a weird personal grudge.

That’s because the drama in Rush was very much fiction. In reality Hunt and Lauda were great friends with great respect for one another.

More exaggerated than anything. One thing I liked about this movie is that it mostly follows history, unlike rush.

I guess it's the modern lens, but in reality many of the people in the story were well known for their excessive smoking, I don't recall seeing much of any of it in the film. Also the dynamic between Iacocca and Ford was a lot more intense,but that could be a movie all unto itself, and it should be. Iacocca's book is a good read.
Still, even my kids enjoyed it, reality still writes better story lines than Hollywood can imagine.

[flipstah]

Saw that movie last night; such a good visual experience especially as a car enthusiast.
Dead quiet too so was able to enjoy it in peace

Give it hell; 7000+

The pit lane shenanigans was hilarious from Shelby.
rage2 where did you learn about the full history to say it’s accurate? I want to read up on it a lot now, especially that drama in Daytona and the finish of LeMans.

Excellent book, it covers a number of topics the film didn't have time to include, such as the internal politics regarding Ferrari's choice of driver that may have lost them the race.

Mark Donahue's The Unfair Advantage is another outstanding racing book I'd recommend.

Yes it was mostly true.

Source: I attended a ford GT symposium last year at Fred Phillips collection where he had special guests including Safir Engineering.

They talked and spilled stories. So good.

The 217-218 on the back straight was true too.
