Days of Thunder

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

grrrrr... only english version.......2007-09-11

i live in colombia, i like very much this movie, but it doesn't have spanish subtitles. :(

TOP GUN + Days of Thunder should be part of all movie collections!.......2007-06-09

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.

great movie.......2007-01-04

thank you for very fast delivery, movie playes great, will buy from again

TOM'S CRUISIN.......2006-11-25

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.

Cruise?.......2006-11-04

Cruise is a cocky S.O.B. who thinks he can drive race cars. Cole Trickle all the way!

Another mom who loves Dino thunder!.......2005-10-04

I've been a huge fan of Dino thunder, especially of Jason Frank "aka tommy" ever since he appeared in the original MMPR! My son loves the series and aside from what a certain reviewer thinks it great fun and plenty of people watch them still! Thats why people know so much about it and thats why Jason Frank has such a huge fan (check out the official site, the shows bigger then anyone can imagine and rakes in cash) base from not just kids but they're parents as well. Keep them coming!

A nice reminder (an improvement) of the original series..........2005-05-15

I was a huge fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a kid, saw the movie, watched practically every episode, defended it when the other kids said it was lame. However, I stopped watching the series when it changed it's title and got rid of cast memebers that I had grown to love.

Years later this show pops up and captures my interest (as did the previous ninja season). They weren't time travelers, space warriors, jeep drivers, and all the other lame stuff that seasons 4 (Neo) to (10)Wildforce gave us. This one kinda went back to the roots with Dino powers, and on normal action (as did the ninja season).

The acting, writing, special effects, and plot were all suprisingly good. Making the Power Ranger my guilty pleasure! I'm getting this series on dvd as well as the first movie, If you're a fan then you should get it too. Don't be embarrassed by your age, I'm 18!

Glad to see Tommy back.......2005-01-30

I was glad to see Tommy Oliver back. I watched the original Power Rangers when I used to babysit a friends daughter. Now I watch it with my daughter. Dino Thunder was a really good season and Tommy back is the best.

Stop!.......2005-01-05

STOP!STOP MAKING POWER RANGERS!NO ONE WATCHES IT ANY MORE.iT'S BEEN ON FOR YEARS.aND IT'S SO CHESSEY AND CORNY.
pLUS IT LOOKS SO FAKE!DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Moms like Dinothunder too.......2004-11-23

I found this version of Power Rangers refreshingly updated. I enjoy watching it with my boys- 3 and 7. As mentioned by the previous review, this version does a good job blending things. It's not so painfully disjointed as previous versions and the new SPD version comming in February. Since power rangers seem to advance on a regular basis from one color to another does it really matter if Tommy was a white ranger at one point? He's a black ranger now. It all gets very confusing since there seem to be many, many types, colors and combinations of rangers.

I would love to review any movie, but it is unclear to me how to find out what movies come in any of your box sets. Any of Tom's movies are good to own, but without knowing what they are we can not take the risk of buying them and receiving the unexpected and unwanted. Just a thought. Thank You

First rate, action packed entertainment.......2001-06-06

First, I must say that the fact that I found this set at a bargain-priced fifty bucks could be a major motive in me giving this Tom Cruise Action Pack such a great rating. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that this set is worthy of five stars. Tom Cruise is a blockbuster only type actor, and it definitely shows in this DVD set. The best of the bunch would have to be Top Gun, and that is for its ability to keep you coming back to watch it again and again. Days of Thunder definitely has the same type of appeal that Top Gun has, with Cruise being a young gun that has to face many challenges and ultimately becomes the best of the best. Mission Impossible is different from the other two, mostly because of its plot, which at times can be nearly insane. Mission Impossible still shows off Cruise's heroic character in dazzling action sequences regardless of how lost you may be in its story. The bottom line here is that this DVD set is a desirable addition to your collection and is a must for any Tom Cruise fan. These movies do exactly what they need to do; entertain. They aren't epics or love stories; they're action movies, and Cruise makes sure that they are respected through his stellar performances.

The best of his movies!.......2000-09-08

Each of the three movies in this collection are classic Tom Cruise. The only problem you may have is that you might already have one of them. That really doesn't matter since the price is still cheaper than buying two of them separately!

Best Bang for your Money!!!!.......2000-09-08

This is the best "Bundle" pack that you can get to show off your home theater system. The surround sound from "Top Gun" and "Days of Thunder" really push your home theater speakers to the limit! After watching all 3 movies in my friends house, I can't wait untill I recieve my order!!!

Tom Cruise Action Pack.......2000-09-08

One Name: TOM CRUISE - This series presents Tom Cruise at his versitile best. First as the cocky fighter pilot Maverick in Top Gun - the movie that put the team of Bruckheimer and Simpson on the map. It stars Kelly McGillis as Charlie, Val Kilmer as the Iceman and Anthony Edwards as Goose. This is one of the few movies that everyone I know can quote a line from.

Then there's Days of Thunder the movie infamous because it signals the meeting of Tom and Nichole his future wife. A great story of Tom at his cocky best learning some hard lessons on life and Race Car Driving from veteran actor Robert Duval. One thing Tom has always done is pair himself with good talent. Great popcorn flick.

And finally Mission Impossible - The debut of Tom as Ethan Hunt and the first in a new franchise. Espionage, thrills, chills this one has it all, and plently of style to burn with Brian DePalma at the helm. Tom produced this one, a first for him as producer, and again surrounded himself with killer talent - John Voight, Ving Rhames, John Reno, and of course the scene stealer, veteran british stage actress Vanessa Redgrave. This movie rocks!

You can't go wrong with this deal. Get yours today; I've got mine!

Description

DAYS OF THUNDER Tom Cruise plays race driver Cole Trickle, whose talent and ambition are surpassed only by his burning need to win. Discovered by businessman Tim Daland (Randy Quaid), Cole is teamed with legendary crew chief and car-builder Harry Hogge (Academy Award. winner Robert Duvall) to race for the Winston Cup at the Daytona 500. A fiery crash nearly ends Cole's career and he must turn to a beautiful doctor (Nicole Kidman) to regain his nerve and the true courage needed to race, to win and to live. TOP GUN A hip, heart-pounding combination of action, music and incredible aerial photography helped make Top Gun the blockbuster hit in 1986. Top Gun takes a look at the danger and excitement that awaits every pilot at the Navy's prestigious fighter weapons school. Tom Cruise is superb as Maverick Mitchell, a daring young flyer who's out to become the best of the best. And Kelly McGillis sizzles as the civilian instructor who teaches Maverick a few things you can't learn in a classroom. MISSION IMPOSSILBLE Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt, a secret agent framed for the deaths of his espionage team. Fleeing from government asassins, breaking into the CIA's most impenetrable vault, clinging to the roof of a speeding bullet train, Hunt races like a burning fuse to stay one step ahead of his pursuers...and draw one step closer to discovering the shocking truth.
