RONIN! very fast paced movie!!

**Matthewaeou** · 12-04-2003, 08:21 PM

My favs are:

- Days of Thunder
- Gone in 60 Seconds (remake & original)

- Best Motoring Series (not a movie in the sense of acting, but I still fell it needed to be mentioned)

**ChippedFire** · 12-04-2003, 08:41 PM

I have to agree with Alex...RONIN! That movie is wicked!

**SRT-FRO** · 12-04-2003, 10:15 PM

RONIN is sick

But my favourite are the following:

Mad Max
Tokyo Street Racer (japanese flick)
Gone in 60seconds
Driven was pretty good. I'm a big fan of cart!

I have this one favourite, but i don't recall the name.
I used to have the tape back in Romania when i was like 7-10 years old.
It shows a race between a bunch of rich assess, for a lot of cash. The featured cars include a red lamborghini countach that skips over water (like one of those flat rocks). The movie is sick. I wish i remebered what it was called.

I was luckly enough to tape Speed Zone waaay back when it was on the First Choice Movie Channel (anyone remember that channel???)...I watch it occassionally. It has the Smothers Brothers, Dan Akroyd and John Candy in it.

**ChippedFire** · 12-05-2003, 06:39 PM

Yeah its a wicked movie. I used to watch it all the time when I was younger

Do you think i can borrow that by any chance??

**Subersxy** · 12-06-2003, 01:55 PM

I dont know if this was from speedzone or not...but maybe a part of the movie the cars were running away from the cops..and cars changed colours with water...to hide from the cops...

does this sound familar?

this is a cheesey movie...but has some nice s14's and silvias in it..
its called Redline or Redlined?

**SRT-FRO** · 12-06-2003, 02:33 PM
