2.5/4  One of the best car chases ever..
A 40 minute long car chase. What more can one say of this movie? The acting wasn't great, the stunts and effects were cool, and the film had a good enough plot to have the story rewritten and remade almost 30 years later. This is one film ... (read full)

1/5 WRECK movie at SPEED of SOUNDtrack
  by flagday1960 (St.Louis)
I saw this in a DRIVE-IN theater! I agree w/ the current #1 reviewer: who are the Hi-octane idiots who ruin cherished memories? It's like the re-make of Jonny Quest had the mandatory better-at-everything ultimate-zinger-delivering feminist co-equal-but-more-equal "girl partner".

It's the 21st century, & the only thing that's gotten better is the ability of the studios to wring fans(dribbling out titles, then once you get them all, hey, there's the "Box Set"!), & like here, screwing with what should be sacred. As for the audio engineer's opinion: w/all due respect, I don't want "thunderous V-8s", I want the ORIGINAL VERSION.

I want DVD's in a new format, called UTW ("Un-Tinkered With"). That's the nicer way to say it.

5/5 Gage, a great actor

This movie is as good as the rest of gage's movies, lots of action, just enough straight humor, a little drama, as gage does with most of his movies. ( I LOVED IT )

4/5 A battle of wits and a change of values in high stakes car theft
  by Curt Remmel (New York)
Gone in 60 Seconds 2000. A car thief, Kip,in a sophisticated organized crime group makes a mistake while boosting [stealing] a car. The boss of the outfit is a ruthless murderer shipping highly expensive, rare cars overseas and wants to use the bungler Kip as an example and to bribe Memphis, Kip's brother and ex-thief with a reputation as the best to steal 50 rare and expensive cars by Friday morning at 8 AM. Memphis resists and then gives in to snatch his brother from being crushed at the salvage lot. He quickly organizes some of the old gang and some new people with unique skills plus his old girlfriend, Sway,he left when he reformed. The movie depicts the psychology of car thieves and car theft, as well as the unique psychology of the different types of experts in car stealing. It shows the loyalty to family and within a ring of thieves to each other over the law. This is contrasted with the ruthless use of money and power and threat of death by the boss to bully and bribe Memphis and the gang to carry out his high-risk scheme. The risk is heightened because the police who had tried to catch him before he reformed finds out that he is back and is once again involved in car theft. The ruthless boss lays down his terms as allowing Skip to live plus $200,000 with the stipulation that they meet the deadline exactly because that is the time the boat shipping the cars is to leave. The ring plays out the nearly impossible feat under the time pressure and while playing cat and mouse under the eye of the police. During the execution of the last heist, Memphis and his old girlfriend repair their lost love and reunite. After a harrowing last chase where Memphis shows his extraordinary skill and his determination to save his brother, he, nevertheless, winds up with the boss ordering Kip to be murdered anyway because Memphis was 12 minutes late. During a deadly tussle with the boss and his henchmen, the police suddenly enter the scene and the fracas ends with both Memphis and the police pitted against the boss. Memphis saves the policeman's life as he kills the boss. In return, the policeman, seeing Memphis has really reformed and was only back into car stealing to save his brother, decides not to arrest him. As he walks away, Memphis tells the policeman where to find the cars. The gang, having gotten together just to save Kip and for the thrill and comradery of the old car stealing days, has a parting party to celebrate the ordeal and their success, totally unconcerned with not getting the money, illustrating that this crime's appeal is its thrill which is greater even than sex.

5/5 The 1970's at wide open throttle!
  by Jamnar (VA, USA)
The epic chase scene is just incredible with all out, take no prisoners high speed driving and a little Keystone Cops style humor. The whole movie takes me back to the 70's with the clothes and the hair and the idea that back then anything with less than a V8 was an economy car. You're not going to watching this one for the dialog.

Never another chase scene like this. Filmed where I grew up. I enjoyed JC Agajanian's interview.

Product was in excellent condition and arrived on time.
