| User ReviewJude PStruggling British motocycle racer uncovers a revolutionary prototype cycle in his late brother's garage and forges on against the big money teams to challenge at Silverstone. Nice to see Christina Raines here, I thought she was fine in Nightmares. A couple of sappy montages notwithstanding, this one features a familiar underdog story which usually works. Essex stars and also provides the music, the title track which was a Top 10 hit in the UK but failed to score (like the film itself) in America. |
| User ReviewGeorge WThis starts off rather badly with a very obnoxious but well-funded and successful US racer (loosely based on Kenny Roberts?) and his poor but ambitious UK counterpart (loosely based on Barry Sheene?) who has an old Transit van and a day job in a regular garage. This general set up is rather lame, slightly unbelievable and so is much of the acting and dialogue for the first 2/3rds of the film. Anyway, once things pick up and the actual 'big race' gets under way, the film actually becomes quite exciting. For what looks very much like a 1970s film, some of the stunts are very good (but hardly shown) and every effort seems to have been made with the bikes & tracks. The ending came as a genuine surprise! A lot better than I expected it to be. 6.5/10 |
