Default Rush.... The movie

Just watched this tonight, that was a REALLY GOOD movie!! I would recommend it to anyone that likes racing/cars etc.
After googling the "real" history, I came across this site and it shows alot of the real story along with pictures. I'm amazed at how well the actors resemble the real people.

Yes it's pretty strong. Those guys look just like the real deal. Some great sounds and images too. At the beginning there's a camera pan over of a port injector on a running engine. The fuel is just kinda dancing over the intake tubes. Looks incredible. I enjoyed it.

Yep!! Def a buyer!! We rented it a week or two ago and both the Wife and I thought it was a great movie! After boobie shot number two or three (or was it four?) she did turn to me and say "Didn't you say this was a Ron Howard movie?" like he was still the kid from Happy Days! Lol!

It was an interesting twist that in the end it really was Nikki's story... With as much of an a$$hole they kept portraying him as, I kept wondering what his family thought of the movie.

That's cuz James Hunt was a Major Player!

One of the Best Racing Movies and it's a Real Story. I've always been a F-1 Fan (I've been to about Dozen F-1 Races), so I could pick apart some inaccurate moments. The 3 Lead Actors (Hunt, Hunt's Wife and Lauda) were very well cast as the were Physical Dead Ringers - none of the other Actors looked anything the Real Drivers
