unnnnbelievable.... .....
upside dooowwwn over the finish line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love that line!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I love every line, it's one of my favorite movies ever.
You cannot NOT be a Nascar fan and like this film, there's no way. If you watch it and don't like it, you ain't one, I'm sorry.
That's why all the bad reviews, none of them are Nascar fans. And if they say they are, and they hate this movie they're morons and liars.
I got into Nascar racing from watching this film and I greatly thank them (Hal & Burt) for it.
In God WWE Trust
yeah, same with me.
When I saw this movie, I was hooked to NASCAR. However, since I live in Germany, I had no chance to see a real NASCAR Race on TV. It was late in the 90s, when the finally startet broadcasting some summaries of races. However, in 2008 I finally managed to fulfill a dream - a live race (Darlington, May 2008)
I just wished I had the chance to see some more live races, especially in the 80s, with the big old cars and some of the old guys like Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, Tim Richmond or Ricky Rudd.

BS!!!!! I was a NASCAR fan for years before this pathetic little "wet fart" of a movie was unleashed, (I went to my first NASCAR race in 1968, which was 15 years before it came out in fact), & I think it's the worst movie ever made about NASCAR, (even worse than the Elvis Presley stinker "Speedway"), & the 2nd worst racing movie ever made, (after Sylvester Stallone's horrid piece of crap "Drivel", I mean "Driven", oddly enough Burt stars or co-stars in both movies). "Stroker Ace" is a lousy excuse for a movie, has as much to do with real NASCAR racing as "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle" does, (though "H&K" is a great & funny movie), & was single handedly responsible for derailing Burt's film career.
I had the great misfortune of paying money to see this in the theater when it was released, & still feel ripped off. Now, it was based on a great & very funny book called "Stand On It" written by Bill Neeley & Bob Ottum, under the pen name "Stroker Ace". I went in the hopes it would be as great & as funny as the book was, instead I got the names of the characters from the book, about half a page of dialogue from it, & the rest was "Smokey & The Bandit Go NASCAR"; in other words, crap on a stick.
If you like this horrible movie, that's your choice, as there is no accounting for taste, (or the lack thereof, in your case), but please have enough respect for those of us that know & followed real NASCAR racing for years not to insult us or our intelligence by saying we have to like this garbage to be a "real" NASCAR fan. I've never met anyone else that's seen this abomination that has anything good to say about it, NASCAR fan or not. Maybe you need to get out more?
You obviously don't have a clue about real racing or good movies.
Please dont hold back, tell us how you really feel about this movie?
As far as this being the movie that derailed his career, I think that was smokey and the bandit 3 or 2, both sucked big time. Its not like you need a brain to watch NASCAR, fast cars drive in a circle for 2 hours and get in big wrecks. Almost as thrilling as watching tennis or grass grow. I dont think they meant it to be a bio pic on NASCAR just a funny movie on the drivers and what they have to do to either get or keep sponsers. I really dont think they meant for people to take their portrail of the sport as fact. I mean you dont think that the Simpsons is a true story of a boob working in a nuclear plant, or Hogans heroes to be a true story of a WW2 prison camp? so lighten up its a movie, obviously ya must have loved it or why would you actually be posting on a board of a movie you actually hated? Hmmm?

I don't even know where to start in responding here, except to say that you obviously can't understand or comprehend anything I said in my post, so I'm not going to waste any more time replying.
Consider a remedial reading course, then try addressing my comments, ok? Until then, please don't waste my time since you lack the intellectual acumen to discuss/debate subjects with me.
Hollywood can take any subject matter and turn it into a lousy movie. I guess some racing fans can enjoy this as light entertainment just because there aren't many movies about racing. Have there been any good documentaries about racing? Even documentaries can be very inaccurate.
