Customer Reviews

great old car guy movie
this movie is loosly based on Junior Johnson's biography. I loved it since first seeing it in the drive in and am glad to add it to my collection

the last american hero
Being a nascar fan I had pleasure following the career and familiar ways of the "hero"...

Racing Driver Drama
I have not read the Tom Wolfe essay this story is apparently based on, but as a film it works quite well. Jeff Bridges, looking like a rougher member of the Beach Boys, is effective as a young guy from a small-town moonshining family, who decided he's going to take the world by storm as a champion driver. Great supporting cast includes Ned Beatty, Gary Busey, and Valerie Perrine. Kind of a cross between Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop and Rebel Without a Cause. And understand that you don't have to be a NASCAR enthusiast to enjoy the film - it's just a great drama.
