Who Has Seen "Snake and Mongoose"

[JOES66FURY]

I know it's been out for a while but who has seen it. I got it from Red Box last night and me and my youngest watched it. I am not sure what I think, I mean, there was TONS of great racing porn but it seemed a bit choppy. I wish there was some more character development. Overall I enjoyed it and I think it is a must see for any gearhead...If you have not seen it I suggest checking it out.

Done on a budget, so the action scenes aren't very realistic, but still - a great movie!
Peeved - WTH thought Wally Parks was a short, fat, blonde guy?
Look for cameos from the real Snake and Mongoose, Ron Capps, and Roland Leong.

They did what they could with the budget. Acting wasn't that great, always bugs me. Wasn't expecting much more than a made for TV type of movie and didn't get it.

As usual with movies that cover several years, there was jumping in story lines. Keeping movie short doesn't help that. Also makes it hard for real character development.

I bought it at Walmart for less than $10. Not bad for what it is. I liked some of the cameo's. The story was ok but it was definitely done on a budget. I really liked the footage of the interview Steve Evans did with Snake and Mongoose at the end. After all the movie pointing out Snake as the intense competitor, to have the real life Mongoose say that Snake just wasn't a serious racer like him was too freaking funny.

worth a watch.
my last dvd is "bad boys 2" or something, and my brother gave it to me...some years ago.

I liked it over all and thought it pretty cool. It seemed very "Disney" to me. Maybe watching it in a parking lot on Drag Week had something to do with it?

I have to add I liked "Heart Like A Wheel" a whole bunch more.

Well, I went to rent it from red box. $3.75 more and I own it. So, I bought it.

We got to Indy just as the movie was ending. We never got to any of the motels before dark.

going to have to check this one out. didn't think it would be good but ill give it a shot.

[RockJustRock]

Makes me wonder when they will do a Garlits movie. Lotsa drama in THAT life and he certainly has the hardware to stage it well. Maybe have the Electric 200 MPH as the happy ending?

I thought it pretty good, not over the top........
They gave the impression Jim Nicholl died in the clutch failure crash causing Prudhomme to announce his retirement.
He didīnt...

After Mongoose/Snake try Rush.

By the time I got to the mall parking lot in Indy, there wasn't even any evidence left that there had been a gathering. Thanks for reminding me I missed out.

Missed "Rush" too, because I wasn't going to take my grandson to a R-rated film. We watched Steve McQueen in "Le Mans" (1971) on DVD instead.

Do they make any gearhead movies anymore that (1) are suitable for "tweens," (2) are not stupid, and (3) will inspire love of racing and automotive pursuits? I can't really think of any recent ones at the moment.
