DVD Information about
Days of Thunder
Product Description
Cole Trickle enters the high-pressure world of Nascar racing. He's a hot driver with a hot temper, and this attitude gets him into trouble not only with other drivers, but members of his own team as well.
Amazon.com essential video
With Days of Thunder, director Tony Scott tried to do for the Indy 500 what he did for the U.S. Air Force with Top Gun. But without Top Gun's go-go soundtrack and visual feats, Scott merely ends up with a Tom Cruise vehicle that's out of gas. Cruise plays (what else?) a cocky, upstart stock-car racer who faces down ruthless racing opponents. Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Cary Elwes, and Randy Quaid do the laps around this movie's tiresome track with Cruise, while director Scott attempts to propel the action along with his trademark visceral, gritty but glamorous visual style. Days of Thunder is notable, however, as a turning point in Cruise's then one-dimensional career. After this film--having tired even his most devoted fans by playing a bartender, an air force pilot, and a stock-car driver--Cruise was forced to take on real character parts. --Ethan Brown

Days of Thunder
grrrrr... only english version
i live in colombia, i like very much this movie, but it doesn't have spanish subtitles. :(Days of Thunder
TOP GUN + Days of Thunder should be part of all movie collections!
This movie and Top Gun (Widescreen Special Collector's Edition) should be a part of all moviegoers' collection. Not only are they the pinnacle works of Tom Cruise, they incorporate a timeless theme -- speed.
I won't get into the awesomeness that surrounds Top Gun, but that same aura surrounds this movie as well. Starting off as a nobody but a reckless driver, Tom Cruise drives and performs better than any rookie. It is through this driving does he find it within himself a passion and he grows and matures like a caterpillar to a butterfly in a short 2 hours.
Awesome movie, 'nuff said.Days of Thunder
great movie
thank you for very fast delivery, movie playes great, will buy from againDays of Thunder
TOM'S CRUISIN
DAYS OF THUNDER is the racecar edition of TOP GUN, and as far as this type of movie goes, this one's okay...nothing spectacular. Cruise plays a rookie racecar driver who hooks up with racing legend Robert Duvall in hopes of dethroning champion Michael Rooker. An almost fatal crash leaves Cruise and Rooker with career-altering decisions, and also time for Cruise to fall in love with future wife/ex-wife Nicole Kidman, whom he met on this movie. A typical showdown ensues and the ending is appropriately fitting. Cruise is in his 80s blustery let me show you I can act stage; Duvall and Kidman are very good; Randy Quaid, Cary Elwes and John C. Reilly round out the cast and lend good support.
Cruise fans probably love this movie, for me it's just an average flick.Days of Thunder
Cruise?
Cruise is a cocky S.O.B. who thinks he can drive race cars. Cole Trickle all the way!Days of Thunder
