Horribly Inaccurate

Rating: 5/10 (30 July 2001)

I liked this movie pretty well, in the beginning. The crash scenes were spectacular eye candy, the music worked, etc. Then, I learned about race cars. Almost everything depicted in this movie could not actually have happened (ex- race cars don't start with a key, as shown in the Chicago street race, the cars are not powered by gasoline, so that big crash in the lake could not have caused a fire, etc, etc, etc...)It kinda puts a damper on the excitement. What surprised me most, was that real race car announcers and drivers participated in this movie-and none of them bothered to notice that EVERYTHING in this movie is a sham! Embarrassing.....
