Driven?

Ya, i love that movie, awesome cars. I love F1.

[F1_Master]

Steve McQueen was awesome in Le Mans. Not alot of talking. Still an awesome movie.

yeah good movie! :D

[Coventrysucks]

Driven is sh*te, pure, unadulterated sh*te.

LeMans is one of the greatest films ever. They knew what perrolheads wanted - no fancy storyline, or heaps of worthless dialogue - just racing, and beautiful cars

but a movie that lacks story lines wouldnt make a lot of money... if they hav a good story lines a lot more people r interested in it... i mean not everybody is a hardout petrolhead.. :)

one thing i dont like about the movie driven is the part where Sylvester started winning when he hums... wtf? :D

[16-4Veyron]

I just loves the F1 cars, not the plot. :p

[my porsche]

yeah i like the part where they go on the street, and the part where he picks up the quarters with oversteer!

He only did it b/c it helped keep him calm.


Well, not neccessarily. Some movies like Napoleon Dynamite or Anchorman, have a plot, but not a good one. BUt usually comedies with small and very uneeded plots do well.

Driven's not even F1 cars, but it rules nonetheless... Stephanie ;)

Oh that's right.


They're Indy cars aren't they? Or something close to them, right?

Driven really is a crap film. Watched about 2 minutes and turned it off

[CdocZ]

such a great movie, le mans. lmp race cars are fing insane!!!!!!!!!!!

[NAZCA C2]

DRIVEN is the worst car movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: Anybody that know anything about racing will tell you that pretty much everything in that movie is complete horse****. For once and for all that movie is base on the CART (championship auto racing teams) series and not the IRL or F1.

[r1ckst4]

it's funny that everytime someone mention a car movie, theres always people who are being waaaay to dramatic... like saying it's the "worst car movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!" :rolleyes: or "i turned it off after 2 minutes of watching it"...

surely... there's a worst car movie out there but not Driven, i liked the story... really and i have NEVER turned off a movie after 2 minutes of watching it, no matter how boring it was... coz the good part of the movie wouldnt appear in the first 2 minutes would it? :) oh wait... execpt for that movie "Kung Pow" oh my god, i cant stand it... :D

I had the misfortune of watching Driven on a transatlantic flight once. Hilariously bad but at least it made me sleep... Just the thought of an Indy driver being able to shift down a gear to overtake is great. Like they are not pushing flat out all the time... :rolleyes:

[man 430gt]

Just wondering how long the film?

[CdocZ]

le mans? longer then i thought. i got thru 1 hour 20 mins of it, then i had to go to sleep (cause i went to detroit the next day/yesturday!) there was at least 30 minutes left, possibly another 50 mins.

[Matra et Alpine]

106 mins - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067334/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnxteD0yMHxzZz0xfGxtPTIwMHx0dD1vbnxwbj 0wfHE9bGUgbWFuc3xodG1sPTF8bm09b24_;fc=1;ft=21;fm=1

www.imdb.com is a great source for info on movies

Believe me "Driven" is the worst car movie ever. That is a fact not my opinion. If you don't belive me just watch the movie again. One of the worst parts of the movie is what Stallone and some other guy are in race cars going like 200mph on city streets (no helmets on) and they are talking to each other. Ever hear of wind noise?
