Someone asked Hamil on Twitter once if he’d ever owned a Corvette. His answer was “No, and they wouldn’t even let me keep the car from the movie.”

That was a right-hand drive Corvette...  Never noticed that.

Aww, this movie’s cute, it’s a nice little teen adventure, and Annie Potts is fantastic in it. Sure the car is butt-ugly, but that’s part of the charm, and it has some solid driving in the last act.

I’m so glad you brought this movie up. It’s AWFUL. I love it. 


Fast and Furious once they started tossing CG safes around a CG city in CG car rigs and became 2 hour Dodge commercials. At that one they went from a car movie to a mess. It’s bad when I walked into a scene from a F&F movie after seeing Mad Max Fury Road and the 2 minute scene I saw was 100 times less believable than

The only things good about this movie was the soundtrack and how much popularity it gave Tavarish. However, it also led to the terribleness that is Hobbs and Shaw, so extra terrible points

I’ve got to go with a “classic”: Viva Las Vegas with Elvis:

I just rewatched this one earlier this week... Talk about a waste of a talented cast. I also am an imbecile about cars but even I rolled my eyes when they got to technical dialogue about water being converted to hydrogen by a “catalytic converter.”

The Need for Speed movie. Good god that was awful.

Has to be Drivel, er, Driven. A movie so bad that another movie used the same name a few years ago and nobody cared.

When you thought your Little Nobody character could lead a whole franchise:

I rather enjoyed the mindless wasteland of Death Race. It’s not really a car movie, more like the video game Twisted Metal in cinematic form.

I know it’s a parody. But it’s a bad parody too.

I am tempted to nominate the first “Gone in 60 Seconds” (the 1974 version, though the Nicolas Cage remake wasn’t any better). There is a rumor that the last half of the film—where "Eleanor," the 1971-turned-1973 yellow Mustang (pretty much the subject of the film) is in a chase that destroys over 100 cars—was planned,

2 Fast 2 Furious. It almost collapsed The Fast and Furious franchise and the primary reason many didn’t give Tokyo Drift a chance. When one of your hero cars is a 2003 convertible Eclipse that someone knowingly chooses over an Evo you know you have a problem.

Gone in 60 Seconds is pretty terrible. 

Driven gotta be a contender.

I thought I was going to leave this site when Tracy and Torch did. So far I haven’t.
