In the beginning the announcer says the race is taking place at the L.
Colosseum (which is an open air venue).
The race begins in an enclosed arena with the roof clearing showing.
In 1998 and 1999 I earned a national number for 125 motocross and super cross. I still ride now but winners take all takes me back to the very beginning of my motocross journey.
MGM has been sitting on a number of movies that have been screaming for a DVD release, so I am confused why they would pass on those movies and choose this obscurity for a DVD release. Maybe there is a bigger audience for motocross racing than I thought.
Debi Richter does her usual excellent work exploring the repression of women in today's society, as her character tries to find her true place in the world, no matter where the journey takes her (and us)--especially considering what little screen time she was given. But twenty minutes of Debi equals forty minutes of a lesser actress, if you know what I mean.
This movie was a great childhood memory. Being 12 years old and just getting my first dirt bike, thought it was the best movie ever in the late 80's.
This is definitely the stupidest, corn-ball movie I have ever seen! What a waste of time, film and money.
I saw this movie when it first came in the 80's and for probably a no available budget film I think they made a decent movie, It took me years to actually find a copy of it at a video store to rent and I finally found a used one to purchase. The movie is basically about motocross (DIRTBIKES) racing which is a really hard thing to put on film it is something you do have to actually do and not watch, A youngrider who has been riding all his life finally gets a chance to make it at the pro level, the top pro rider he will be racing, was a friend he grew up with and now is on a team that will do anything to keep winning, even take out old friends.
I first saw Winners Take All when I was young... going back to the old Beta VHS tapes (yes, that long).
I saw this film on video when it first came out and ended up watching it several times. I've been tring to get hold of a copy ever since to no avail.
