The movie "Rush"

Post by ga.spyder »

Anybody else counting the days until Ron Howards F1 movie 'Rush'? It looks to be an awesome movie with the minimum of computer effects.In other words,old school.Anyway ,tomorrow at 7am EST,NBC Sports Network will have a show about the making of Rush. That will be followed by live action from Monza,the Italian Grand Prix.I know where I'll be in the morning! You west coast guys,set those recorders.

I'm very excited. Recently saw on Youtube an excellent hour-long 1996 BBC documentary on the Lauda-Hunt rivalry. And half of this month's R&T as stories about the movie.

Saw it last night as well. I'd certainly give it a thumbs up. More drama than a race movie.

Great movie! My wife and I saw it last night, we both enjoyed it. We liked seeing the FIAT posters in some of the scenes.

Saw it last night. Loved it! We are big F1 fans in this house so we're particular about things appearing accurate. Howard did an awesome job with the driving scenes. Two thumbs up!

Saw the movie Sunday night. Overall a very good movie. Great scene with the Lancia and the Italian race fans. I think it could have used a little more racing and a little less 70's free sex.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!
