Motorsport magazine has a fantastic write up on it this month. Not only the movie itself but the real thing. My brother got severely burned that year and I remember thinking (and telling him) he could be back on track as quick as Lauda. No way- he took years. And people called Lauda a coward when he parked the car in Japan.....they had no idea.
This is one I will see at the theater. BTW James Hunt's son looks exactly like his father. Last edited by cairns; 09-10-2013 at 11:07 AM.. |

This month's Racer magazine has a great article comparing the events of '76 and the movie, along with a ton of photos, storyboards, etc - an excellent article - I highly recommend it -
The magazine has articles about other famous racing movies as well - so who do you think made the cover - not Hunt or Lauda or Hemsworth or Bruhl.. but... I guess he still sells

Rush is the best movie I've seen this year, although that's not saying much. Often there are technical inaccuracies or anachronisms that take you right out of a period film. Not this time. The leads are just about perfect. Go see it.

Watched the trailer for Rush a while back, and in the "Related" Youtube links, I found an excellent BBC documentary on the Hunt-Lauda competition for the 1976 Formula 1 World Championship:
Clash Of The Titans - Lauda Vs Hunt James Hunt: Clash Of The Titans - Lauda Vs Hunt - YouTube And "related" to that Barry Sheene & James Hunt - When playboys ruled the world Barry Sheene & James Hunt - When playboys ruled the world - YouTube Interesting look at celebrity of sports stars then and now, focusing on James Hunt, and motorcycle racing champ Barry Sheene. I am glad I don't know how many hours I have spent thanks to YouTube "Related" videos. |

I seldom watch movies (none on Sammy's list), tho those of Howard's I have watched, have been informally good. Most auto racing movies suck....other than the actual racing sections.

So haven't seen it....was gonna with this gal today but we/she decided to camp out and boink.....but I haven't EVER seen a more concentrated ad campaign.
My guess is that they will spend close to production costs to promote and buy an Oscar...... I have a chafe.....
