ffs, it is worth paying to see, and we want people to make similar high quality flicks for car dudes. That won't happen if people download them.

1hr and 28 mins long, and then after it they're playing Kenny lol.

so $15 for 2 movies - not bad!
Considering the black sky, and the fact the papers and website didnt have it listed for last night the plase was really ful

and Hemicuda trust me, see it on the big screen the cinamatography was excellent, if your really that tight go and see it on Cheap Tuesday. you wont regret it

If I could wait until it came out on DVD then i would pay to see it....But I cant.. If i cant get a torrent then I will have to wait...

In reality I have a missus who wants to see it too, 6 week old baby, a 2 1/2 year old, I work till 6pm, am up at 5am if not before every morning, so I cant exactly pop out to the movies with 2 kids and check it out, while fitting in with their screening times, reality is a female dog some days...

But yes, I cant wait to see it, I am sure I will watch this movie over and over, as I have the trailers...

I just went and saw the movie.
Have never been so excited about a movie couldn't stop grinning and turned up to the movie 40 mins early which made the antispation so much worse .
I really enjoyed the movie . Was really good one thing i would i liked is a bit more info on the xb as in some of the stuff he had done . But i do realise he tried to make it sutible for all not just petrol heads.
Also i think bana and his beast needs to be on here in the build section.

just saw it tonight. By far the best real car movie i've ever seen. thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!!!!!! at times i couldn't help but let my jaw fall open!!!! going to see it when it comes to the drive in up here and then buy it on DVD. i agree with snappy84 that it should be on the build section on FF.

it's well worth $12 to go see it at the movies

Thats the way I recon,

I saw it in this, no radio just the drive in speaker on the window and the sunvisor was a pain in the neck.



That said theres nothing better than seeing a car movie at the drive in and if its in an old car all the better

I saw it today. Only four other people in the cinema

There was even two points I'd almost classify as tear-jerking moments. It was engaging for the most part, however the filler kinda killed the doco a tad, as someone else suggested.

Definitely going to buy this when it comes out on DVD.

To everyone who hasn't seen it, go and see it, it's worth the money.

I personally have to say it is the most enjoyable movie I have seen in years!

Like what other people have said about tears when the movie finished then where 4 guys who were crying all classic cars owners and like trek said if you havn't seen it yet GO AND SEE IT!!

+1 for a DVD purchase here too

Yeah it was a great movie, loved it

a down to earth Aussie that loves his cars, no head up his ****

The car he is sitting in on the promo poster ain't his XB , looks like his old man's T-bird

LOL, I dont know who that is he was just walking past I didnt even notice him till I pulled the photos off the camera.

For the record its not my ute I just borrowed it casue it was cooler to go in that than the company territory. Its a fun bit of kit though, 138grey 3spd crash box king pin front end, drum brakes rough as bags but ooo so cool all at the same time

Saw the movie on Sat (last minute thing) and it was worth the money.

Bloody funny movie. Really would motivate someone to start a classic project.

Finally got to see this movie last night, won a double pass to go and would have paid twice the admission price anyway!! What a brillant aussie doco, the cinema was 95% full and the "ooohs and ahhhs" from everyone was brillant too. Even though you new the crunch was coming you were still on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. Lots of great one liners and thoughtful insight to bloke whose just living life, the look on his old mans face as his mum is talking about making space in the garage is pricess, the smile, the pain, the eyes say it all. Eric the actor makes a great Doco, can't help but think, waiting 25yrs for the next one "the beast reborn" might be a bit of a stretch though

5 out of 5 rubber chickens from me!

I haven't seen it yet. Who is the old guy with white hair in the movie trailer and what is his car? Cougar, Thunderbird? Reason I ask is that Bana is sitting in this for the movie poster shots and not his own car!
