In thinking about the comment that this incident probably generated more
than 1.5 million dollars worth of PR for the movie...after seeing it all
over the web and even on Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition, guess
that it did that if nothing else.

So being the curious person that I am, I looked up the movie, here's what I
found.

"Redline" is an auto/action thriller that features the personal exotic car
collection of the producer, real estate investor Daniel Sadek. Sadek who is
financing the $26 million movie used his own cars including a Phantom Rolls
Royce, Lamborghini Murcielago, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F430, Ferrari
Scaglietti and two Mercedes SLR McLarens. Sadek's $450,000 Porsche Carrera
GT is actually crashed during one sequence.

It has actors that you have never heard of before.

Then I think to myself, except for LeMans with Steve McQueen, Winning with
Paul Newman, Gran Prix with James Garner and The Gumball Rally, there hasn't
been a decent, realistic auto movie in 30 years, the list of absolute crap
is endless...

The Fast and the Furious ( part 1 ) features perhaps the dumbest line in any
auto themed movie in history... Vin Diesel talking to the star Paul Walker
about his now dead father, the DRAG RACER of the blown Dodge Charger, "He
went into the first turn and hit the wall"

What a dumb ass!, maybe that's why he's dead, the whole idea is to go in a
straight line.
The writer should be forced to eat marbles and drink nitro!

Days of Thunder, Driven, Cannonballs,

I'd rather watch The Great race with tony Curtis than sit through those.

So this clown makes this film and destroyed an SLR and an Enzo, money and
film aside, that just ain't right!

Somebody make a decent car movie ( not animated ) that's realistic....and
hire me while your at it.
