I just bought yet another racing DVD and I thought others might want to know what's good sooo...post about the DVD's you've seen or own. I'm closing in on ten now I think so I'll just start with a handful here.
2 Laps 2 Go - 4 out of 5 stars
Its a one hour vid about supermoto in the US but it basically just follows the Troy Lee Design teams exploits. At first the camera work was a bit chincy and tacky but once they got into the meat of it I thought it was pretty good. I was a little bit surprised to be honest because I thought it would be more about the entire sport in the US in general, not just about one team.
The history pieces on two of their riders was really cool, and in my opinion was probably the best part of the DVD (other than the extra feature with Umbrellagirls.com
).
If you really like supermoto this would be a good DVD to buy but otherwise I'd say borrow it or watch it the next time we have a MM movie night
On Any Sunday - 5 stars
This is one of those landmark movies by which all others will be judged. In a nutshell On Any Sunday is kind of a grand tour of all types of motorcycle racing in the US (except for drag).
It loosely follows the flat track title defense season of Mert Lawill and the weekend exploits of offroad extraordinaire Malcolm Smith.
The movie does a great job of documenting the action while not being too dry and injecting a bit of humor in once in awhile. It is distinctly 70's with the long tube socks and funky music but it doesn't get in the way of enjoying the movie.
Of all the motorcycle movies this one is a must have. It is sort of the grandfather of Faster.
Le Mans 4 out of 5 stars
I had a hard time with this one because Le Mans is considered by many to be the greatest racing movie of all time yet I thought the off-track scenes were a bit dry.
This movie was kind of like video artwork. There is very, very little dialogue in the movie for the first 10-20 minutes and overall there isn't much dialogue at all. Its just kind of a thing where you sit back and take in the sights and sounds of the race. In that respect it has a certain purity in its depiction of the 24 hours of Le Mans.
