Greg Myers Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Two films coming this September http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/07/19/feeding-the-hype-beast-new-trailers-released-for-rush-and-snake-mongoose/?refer=news watch the trailers.
Draggon Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Snake and Mongoose should be um, interesting. Fakey tire squealing noises at 1:30 and 2:00 in the trailer. Rush looks better.
Ben Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 As much as I want to see this, I just know they are going to over dramatize everything! They can't make any movie anymore without dumping in extreme amounts of drama that ruins the story line! Just tell the story like it happened! I don't need to know that his sister is dying of a disease, the bank is about to take his home, how bad of a drinking problem he has, etc. etc.!
ScaleDale Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I read about this on IMDB about a year ago and was hoping it would date back into the top fuel days of the late 60s when this all started. Even though I was in Ohio, I couldn't wait to get the newest issues of National Dragster to follow the California scene. Even slipped into the seat of a dragster at a Detroit car show to flash that V for Victory thing to my camera friend. Those were the days.Dale
my name is nobody Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 while I will not be going to see these movies....( they wont be playing anywhere near me).......I will say that Hot Wheels has released both the Snake & Mongoose Dodge Haulers and they are incredible.
Daddyfink Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 That Snake & Mongoose movie looks like an after school special! Horrible! Rush looks pretty worthy! What a shame
espo Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I might see "Rush" only because Ron Howard is the director. I just read something about "Rush" in Auto Week magazine. At the premier showing with several drivers and Bernie Ecclestone gave it a thumbs-up. Remember Ron Howard did the movie on Apolo 13. As for the other one, I don't think I'll even bother with Netflix on that.
sjordan2 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 The trailers for "Rush" look amazing, and I know Ron Howard will do a great job with it. I wonder in how much detail the movie covers the dramatic story of the life of Niki Lauda's rival, James Hunt, whose life is worthy of a miniseries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hunt
MachinistMark Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 cant wait for both movies, rush and the snake and mongoose, Yes, this one might be a turd, but it might not, also, its a feature film about DRAG RACING. a major gamble for any producer/film company to be sure, so, if this one tanks...what are the odds of another, better movie about drag racing ever getting made?
Daddyfink Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I think the problem here is budget. It is a low buck production from what I have seen . Most of the cars in the movie are straight out of collections and museums and from what I can see, not many regular type racers around. You know, like the stuff you really see at the drags! Even More American Graffiti had regular filler cars in the track racing scenes. A big budget movie should be done about someone like Jungle Jim, The Surfers and Garlits. Like when Garlits first came out to the West Coast and had his butt handed to him and how he learned from it. We can hope that they do not give up on it.

espo Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I went to the theater for "Indian". The movie was great, a real must see.
Greg Myers Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Didn.t even see it listed. Phoenix, 5th largest city in the nation. Very large auto sports coverage. Coming soon https://www.facebook.com/snakeandmongoose?filter=2
iBorg Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Didn't make it here to West Virginia either......
charlie8575 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 The only even sort-of names in Snake & Mongoose are Fred Dryer (loved him in Hunter) and Noah Wylie (has he even done anything since ER?) I might rent it for something different- I don't watch a lot of movies because I haven't the time to and I like to watch them with someone usually, but that doesn't happen, and none of my friends are into cars like I am, so... Charlie Larkin
iBorg Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Noah Wylie is in Falling Skies a pretty big cable hit.
Greg Cullinan Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Anyone see that the snake and mongoose cars/haulers are being sold at Barrett Jackson?
Rob Hall Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Anyone see that the snake and mongoose cars/haulers are being sold at Barrett Jackson? I heard that...looking forward to seeing them...probably going to go on Friday and Saturday...
Greg Cullinan Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I heard that...looking forward to seeing them...probably going to go on Friday and Saturday... They looked good on tv. There was a preshow special on nbc sports Saturday. Don Prudhomme was involved with tracking them down (the haulers at least) and restoring them I believe. Said they went to semis and sold the haulers off. And they were in yards/feilds abandoned/neglected over the past 30 years. Also interesting was the haulers were trade ins from sox&martin and Richard Petty.
