Running Time: 98 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 1974 c H.B. Halicki Productions.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 741027117165 Discount Shopping: When car nut and aspiring B movie maverick H.B. "Toby" Halicki released his debut film, he gave top billing to his car, a yellow 1973 Ford Mustang named Eleanor. That's a good indication of Halicki's priorities in the original car-crunching, tire-squealing drive-in classic Gone in 60 Seconds. Halicki wrote, produced, starred, and did all of his own extraordinary stunt driving in the picture, the story of a career car thief who makes a deal to steal 48 cars for an overseas smuggler. OK, it's not Shakespeare. The plot is perfunctory at best, and Halicki's all thumbs when it comes to directing his wooden cast, but he gives a crash course in the mechanics of the car-theft biz and tops it off with one of the greatest car chases of all time: a 40-minute finale that roars through five Los Angeles-basin towns and destroys 93 cars in the process. It's a masterpiece of stunt driving, down-and-dirty photography, and sharp, furious cutting; the unsung hero of the picture is editor Warner Leighton, who paces the film perfectly and never lets it stall. Forget the messy Nicolas Cage in-name-only remake, this is outlaw auto cinema at its purest. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - watch the last 40 minutes only if you don't want to waste time.First of all, I respect H.B.Haliki for his passion in wanting to make movies to thrill audiences and make himself a renown independent film maker. He made this movie (gone in 60 seconds 1973), the Junkman, and Deadline Auto Theft. His fourth film, Gone in 60 seconds 2, was never completed due to his accidental death during production. He showed with a strong determination, and a good bank account, you can do what you set your mind and heart to. I collected his films, due to his originality in film ...

Rating:  - awesome classic car moviegreat movie for its time true classic, huge extras on this version highly recommend this to any car movie nut. Rating:  - Awesome Action MovieNicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie, Robert Duvall,Giovanni & all the guys on the team are great actors. Cage's character comes back to town to save his little brother (Giovanni) by doing something that he'd promised their mother that he'd never do again! But Kip got in over his head with a crazy, woodwork loving, Russian. When the Raine's brothers get their car boosting crews together it's intense action all the way to the end. I watch this movie everytime it's on TV & put my new DVD in the player ... Read More Rating: - wrong reviews got voted up to #1 and #2OK, neither of these movies are the deep, moving, cinematic masterpieces that Halicki and Cage are both otherwise known for (are you kidding me?) This is a car flick, period. My interest is purely my inner 14-year-old's car nuttiness coupled with my (now 36 yr old's) appreciation for awesome Mustangs; and Eleanor is one awesome hunk of steel (either the 1973 mach I OR the 1967 GT 500) So it ain't "Shakespeare" as another reviewer said, it ain't supposed to be. You don't go to ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
