rush

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

.... I caught it on the BT box, for a 'no ladies in the house' afternoon as it is a "nono/$hite car film..." :cry:

It was OK, but Ron Howard is definitely no John Frankenheimer....there's no comparison between modern CGI and 60's car mounted film cameras, if you want to see how F1 should be done on screen, watch Grand Prix, split-screen 'n all.....a totally awesome piece of film-making.I leave Steve McQueens LeMans film out of the equation for the dreadful self-indulgent turkey that it is!
I suppose like any film rooted in reality Rush had to stretch things a bit, the rivalry between Hunt and Lauda was pumped up quite a bit, in reality they were even flatmates for a while......it's a bit like 'Patton' where a constant rivalry between Patton and Monty is shown, wher as the reality is they barely features on each others radar.
