Yeah, it was meant to be F1 cars; but Bernie Ecclestone (F1 commercial rights holder) decided against it, as he thought Stallone would give F1 a bad name.

He was right: It earned seven nominations at the 22nd Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Screen Couple (Burt Reynolds and Sylvester Stallone) and twice for Worst Supporting Actor (Reynolds and Stallone), with Estella Warren winning Worst Supporting Actress (also for Planet of the Apes).

List of F1, Indy car and CART drivers in the film:
Jean Alesi
Michael Andretti
Kenny Bräck
Patrick Carpentier
Cristiano Da Matta

Here is an Excelent Racing movie: Grand Prix (1966)

It won the Academy Award Oscar for: Best Effects / Sound Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Sound in 1967.

It's the only Official F1 movie. The sound is quite incredibly. There is a scene in the movie; as they race around the streets of Monaco, with a Panavision 65mm camera strapped to the hood of the car.

All the best,

Thanks for the *promote

There haven't been enough movies featuring racing cars, and even more so for F1. The French film Taxi (or taxi driver, or something like that) purported to have F1 cars, but they looked more like F3000 to me, there were a few others spread over many years... and then there's Rush and the Senna film all at once - life is good

Wasn't the Stallone one featuring Indy cars?

I don't know if you watch the Top 15 Sifters of the Week listing.
Last night all of a sudden I was way ahead of you--which was funny because you were Way ahead of me for several days.
Then today we swapped places again--I think they screwed up and mixed up whose votes were whose.
You me and @Barseps are doing pretty good with only three queues


nah, It's correct. It's based on a rolling 7 days on your own videos (everything in your recent videos que added up). After 7 days videos get removed from your recent and those votes are subtracted from your weekly total.

Tried guitars a little as well. Always wanted to play it from a very early age. It was thought it might detract or distract from my piano playing so....
I play neither now for too many years.
How long have you played? What instrument do you have?
In reply to this comment by ZappaDanMan:
I could never connect with the guitar for some reason, the dexterity is insane.. Guess I'm sticking with classical piano. Nice vid.



I've played 7, 2 is constant, piano is main. (mandolin, bass, guitar, piano, drums, accordian, flute). im clasically trained on piano for a long time... learning music is the hard part. Application of music to an instrument is easier. It's just learning the mechanics. You don't forget driving when you drive your friends car.

..yeah there are many problems with the modern teaching methods... I was lucky enough to be introduced to Suzuki method.
