Writer/Director/Producer/Star AND stunt co-ordinator?
H.B. Halicki leaves no production credit untouched in bringing his passion project to the big screen. Souped up seventies sensation Gone in 60 Seconds is a rev-head wet dream. The kind of movie where the car gets top billing.
Eleanor is a mustard yellow 1971 Ford Mustang and is the primary target for Maindrian (Haliki) and his crew of insurance folk/car boosters who are on a mission to grand theft autovise a list of 70s era luxury sports cars.
The acting is a little stodgy at times, especially from some of the real life racing identities who cameo, and this would have to be one of the most obviously ADR’ed movies of all time - but you ain’t here for all that, you are here for the fast cars and you get plenty of that.
I can’t even drive a manual (or stick as you American folk would say) but even I can appreciate the bevy of four wheeled beauties on display here. This culminates in an epic police pursuit that is truly something, with a car jump moment they are so proud of they freeze frame mid-jump, overlay footage of the jump from a different angle, play that and then unfreeze the image of the first jump.
Hey! I made it all the way through a Gone in 60 Seconds review and DIDN’T once make a premature ejaculation joke.
Ahhhh dammit. I BLEW it.
