In the first drag race of the movie Fox is racing a yellow Holden Monaro.
During the burnout the Monaro sounds like a V8.
When the Monaro crashes, the hood flies off and a 6 cylinder engine is clearly visible.
In the opening scene Fox is racing a yellow 1969 HT Holden Monaro.
When the HT crashes over the VW it changes into a 1968 HK Holden Monaro.
Note tail lights.
The premise is something unique, and it's a wonder there aren't more films about fugitives coming to terms with lives based on lies.But this just isn't a big or bold enough telling of such a story.
The most unsettling part of the family setting their dog out into the street and telling the children it'll certainly find another home is that the children take it rather well. They've deserted family dogs before.
Beautifully understated drama. Note how even the lengthy pauses add to the low-key impact.
A superbly-acted, well-written story about a family on the run after the parents stage an explosion in a napalm producing factory. This is an unconventional story and one not so often written for film and TV.
I was 16 when this was released, and while I liked River Phoenix then, I had zero interest in what seemed like such a boring and heavy topic. Fast forward 32 years and I'm floored by how great a movie this was!
Nobody cares, but the writing is weak. The Gus character is a lame McGuffin.
Dear Sidney Lumet, Running on Empty was a very touching story about a family on the run. It is also a coming of age story of a talented young man who wants to break away from the idealistic boundaries set by his parents.
The stars of the film are the cars!!The movie is basic, alpha male vs upstart challenger, girl and so on.
This video by Mad Moon Riot is amazing, because it's clever, hilarious, and makes you want to dance. It's just so meta.
