Error.......2007-05-07
I had buy a HD Player But NO A BLUE RAY PLAYER then i couldn't see the movie great error
5 stars for the movie, 1 star for the trick.......2007-03-17
This is a great movie and I'm happy to see it on Blu-Ray, it just sucks how the studio chose to not release the new unrated cut that you can get now on DVD. Oh, wait... yeah the ol' double dip trick is coming. Be patient and wait for the better version to be released...or get it now on DVD and save some money in the process.
Great movie but not the best Blu Ray quality........2007-02-09
I have had the chance to watch several movies in BluRay and HD DVD. This movie stays to it's wonderful action and great story. Although if you are looking for a movie with an excellent picture this one is not it. Not having this movie on DVD helped make the purchase easier. I have always enjoyed the intense action and the excellent acting which don't always go together. Overall that is what makes this an excellent fun film to watch.
Now on the Blu Ray scale. In many Blu Ray movies you either get two things. A picture that is almost crystal clear with no distortion or a movie with grainy hd picture. I was disappointed when I made this my first blu ray movie. I almost began to think that this was a blu ray standard. Although after watching other movies I know better. I don't believe they spent as much time as they should have transferring this movie over to hd. That is generally the problem with some movies. And for the price of Blu Ray players and the Blue Ray Discs you should only have the best picture. So I only consider this a worthwhile investment for people who have either never seen the movie or have not bought the dvd version.
Great Car Movie.......2007-01-11
This is a good old fashioned, down and dirty car movie. They haven't made a film like this in years! Faced-paced, in-your-face, this movie has it all. Cars, story, cars, action, cars, chaces, cars, laughs and cars. Eat my dust! Get this one!
GOOD MOVIE WITH A GOOD TRANSFER.......2007-01-10
YES I KNOW MY OPION OF THIS MOVIE BEING GOOD ISN'T FELT ALL AROUND. IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD HIT BACK IN 2000 WHEN IT CAME OUT AND I WATCHED THE DVD PROBABLY 10 TIMES. THE BLU-RAY VERSION WAS EYE POPPING! THE VISUALS WERE CLEAR AND CRISP. I THOUGHT THE MOVIE VISUALLY WAS GREAT SOUND WAS OK NOT REALLY A BIG UPGRADE. THE COLORS WERE BRIGHT, BOLD, AND DETAILED EVEN DURING THE CHASE AS WELL. IF YOUR A FAN OF THE MOVIE AND HAVE A BLU-RAY PLAYER OF A PS3 THEN UPRGRADE. THE MOVIES ARE STILL A LITTLE PRICEY FOR BLU-RAY BUT THIS IS ONE TI9TLE THATS WORTH IT!!

Kip Raines (Giovanni Ribisi) is a cocky young car thief working with a crew to steal 50 cars for a very bad man whose nickname is "The Carpenter." Being young and cocky, Kip messes up, so it's up to his big brother, Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage), to come out of car thief retirement and save him. With a cast that includes Robert Duvall, Angelina Jolie, Delroy Lindo, Cage, and Ribisi, it would be easy to say this story wastes all their talents--which it does, but that's not the point. This is a Jerry Bruckheimer film. A good story and complex characters would only get in the way of the action scenes and slow the movie down. No, Gone in 60 Seconds (based on the cult 1974 film of the same name) is not about the stars as much as it's about cars. Fast cars. Rare cars. Wrecked cars. All cars. Too bad director Dominic Sena (Kalifornia) doesn't come across as more of a gearhead; he seems less interested in fast cars than fast cuts. But is this movie fun? Absolutely, and it's fun because it's so stupid. With pointless car chases and hackneyed dialogue in one of the most predictable plots of the year, Gone in 60 Seconds is a comic film that's not quite a parody of itself, but darn close. --Andy Spletzer
Description
Academy Award(R)-winners Nicolas Cage (1996 Best Actor, LEAVING LAS VEGAS; ADAPTATION, MATCHSTICK MEN) and sexy Angelina Jolie (1999 Best Supporting Actress, GIRL INTERRUPTED; LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER) ride an unstoppable wave of speed and adrenaline in this hot, egdy action hit from high-octane producer Jerry Bruckheimer (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, PEARL HARBOR). Legendary car booster Randall "Memphis" Raines (Cage) thought he'd left the fast lane behind -- until he's forced out of retirement in a do-or-die effort to save his kid brother (Giovanni Ribisi, LOST IN TRANSLATION, TV's FRIENDS) from the wrath of an evil mobster! But with speed to burn and attitude to spare, Memphis hastily reassembles his old crew -- a rogues' gallery including Academy Award-winner Robert Duvall (1983 Best Actor, TENDER MERCIES; OPEN RANGE) -- and floors it in a full-throttle race to pull off the ulimate car heist: 50 exotic beauties in 24 hours -- and the cops are already on to them! Directed by Dominic Sena and written by Scott Rosenberg, GONE IN 60 SECONDS is an action-packed thrill ride that comes out fast and never slows down.

Zero stars because it doesn't work.......2007-09-05
I bought the original DVD (not Dir. Cut). The disc won't play in my DVD player. It just keeps saying "reading" (aka searching for the disc that's in the player). All of my other DVDs work, though.
Well, there's a waste of $7.
HELL YEAAAAAH!!!!!!!,.......2007-06-20
I thought that this was one of the best action movies I have seen during that year it came out. First of all, it got your adrenaline up, which to me is important. Second of all, it depicts American love for cars and life style in a very accurate way. The way Cage talks and names cars and begs them to be good to him, all that is very specific to this country's culture and if you've ever been to Los Angeles, it makes even more sense. The movie points out that a car is more important then money, then women, then sex and though, not many will agree that it's a positive description, it is true of many people's feeling about it. This movie starts out with Memphis Raines (Nicolas Cage) who is a retired car thief. After his younger brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) blows a big job for top villain The Carpenter the older Raines is forced out of retirement to save his brothers life. The cost? He has 72 hours to steal 50 top range cars.
Dominic Sena pilots this basic plot making his intentions clear from the outset with a dazzling high speed chase. Once Memphis is on the scene he has to assemble a crew to help boost the 50 cars on his shopping list on a one night marathon. The supporting actors are good, seeming to vault effortlessly around the poorer parts of Scott Rosenberg's screenplay. Robert Duval deserves a special mention as Otto, Memphis's mentor and teacher. Delroy Lindo is good as the nemesis in the police Detective Castlebeck. Angelina Jolie as Sway, the love interest, has only a minor impact on the proceedings. The real stars of this film are the cars.The actors uniformly do a good job with the thin script.
The actions, especially the final chase, are breath taking, although the actors get mired in the slightly sickly sweet 'brotherly love' theme. With no real twists or complex plotting this is a movie you can sit and watch over and over. Bruckheimer knows his stuff... HELL YEAAAAAAH!
The Italian Job meets the Ocean's series........2007-06-18
A very pleasant surprise, Gone in 60 Seconds, is an adventure that brings to the screen the story of a former car thief who is forced back into stealing in order to save his little brother's life. The problem is that he has to steal 50 exotic cars in only three days' time...
Nicolas Cage, Robert Duvall, Giovanni Ribisi, Angelina Jolie, Vinnie Jones, and the rest of this AMAZING cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are commendable to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few thrills, not to mention a few laughs.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor (!), and the music (!) are all wonderful!
In short, Gone in 60 Seconds is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection! BRING ON THE SEQUEL!

I saw the original"Gone" in the 70's & many times times more on cable & I
own the VHS & Plain DVD when DVD's came out. I have seen remakes of other movies and they did suck,but This didn't.
The plot was abit different that the original,but it had to change. Nicolas did a bang up job {No pun} & I liked the ending about family
& saving the cop.I loved the part of mentor played by Robert Duvall,just as crusty as the part he played from Days of Thunder.
But The best part was indeed played by Angelina Jolie.Great Call. Buying the Directors Cut as I type.

Gone in 60 Seconds PSP UMD Movie
MODEL- 29934 VENDOR- UMD MOVIE
FEATURES- Gone in 60 Seconds PSP Movie
In this action thriller, a master car thief has his skills pushed to
the limit. Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage) can steal
practically any car that crosses his path. While he has done well
in his life of crime, he knows that there is a short future in
theft, and he wants to get out of the business. But his retirement
plans are interrupted when his younger brother Kip (Giovanni
Ribisi) gets in trouble with a dangerous crime boss. To get his
brother out of harm's way, Randall agrees to a profitable but risky
scheme to steal 50 luxury cars in one night, with the help of
several other car thieves, including Sara "Sway" Wayland (Angelina
Jolie). A rival group of thieves is trying to pull the same stunt
at the same time, and detectives Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo) and
Drycoff (Timothy Olyphant) are trying to shut down both operations.
Also starring Robert Duvall as Otto Halliwell, and Scott Caan as
Tumbler, Gone in Sixty Seconds is a remake of the 1974 low-budget
action hit of the same name, best remembered for a 40-minute chase
scene in which 90 cars were destroyed.

Defies Credibility but that's to Its Credit.......2007-02-01
The premise and execution of this film defies credibility but some outrageous character portrayals, performances and neat driving make this film entertaining. I found some car enthusiasts who really like this film and others who find it ludicrous and berate it. After all is said it does not fail to entertain. If you can look past the incredulous premise, this film can also be rather addictive. When all the dust settled Vinnie Jones as The Sphinx really made my day.
Excellent Car Movie.......2007-01-12
If you like cars, lots of cars, this is a good old fashioned, down and dirty car movie. They haven't made a film like this in years! Faced-paced, in-your-face, this movie has it all. Cars, story, cars, action, cars, chaces, cars, laughs and cars. Eat my dust! Get this one!

While lots of people really like this movie, I do not. I am also not a Nick Cage fan. While this movie has its moments (plus Angelina Jolie!) I can't say it is one I ever want to watch again.

When car nut and aspiring B movie maverick H.B. "Toby" Halicki released his debut film, he gave top billing to his car, a yellow 1973 Ford Mustang named Eleanor. That's a good indication of Halicki's priorities in the original car-crunching, tire-squealing drive-in classic Gone in 60 Seconds. Halicki wrote, produced, starred, and did all of his own extraordinary stunt driving in the picture, the story of a career car thief who makes a deal to steal 48 cars for an overseas smuggler. OK, it's not Shakespeare. The plot is perfunctory at best, and Halicki's all thumbs when it comes to directing his wooden cast, but he gives a crash course in the mechanics of the car-theft biz and tops it off with one of the greatest car chases of all time: a 40-minute finale that roars through five Los Angeles-basin towns and destroys 93 cars in the process. It's a masterpiece of stunt driving, down-and-dirty photography, and sharp, furious cutting; the unsung hero of the picture is editor Warner Leighton, who paces the film perfectly and never lets it stall. Forget the messy Nicolas Cage in-name-only remake, this is outlaw auto cinema at its purest. --Sean Axmaker
Customer Reviews:
A turbo boost of adrenaline.......2007-06-25
Fire up the Delorean, it's time to travel back in time, back to the 70's. You'll easily recognize the timeframe in this movie, with the bell bottoms and big hair. The porkchop sideburns. The awful polyester suits. And the vintage automobiles.
The plot here is pretty basic--a car thief makes a deal with some overseas smugglers. Steal 48 cars in four days. This story is really just a thinly disguised excuse for the GRAND finale. (More on that later).
The first half of this movie is poorly developed and frankly pretty boring. It does have a cool look at the thiefs stripping the wrecked cars down, transfering the serial numbers to the new cars, and then rolling back the odometer. Other than that I found the beginning quite tedious. The director Halicki was a very inexperienced director, and it really shows.
But he MORE than makes up for it with the famous car chase scene. Yes, it really is forty minutes long. I find it so amazing that this film was made over thirty years ago and it still is one of the most highly charged action sequences to ever hit the screen. Or the road.
That's because it is totally real. No CGI. No stunt doubles. No special effects. You can sense the pure danger that is evident throughout this madness. The pedestrians really are running for their lives during this extended scene, can you believe that? 93 cars were wrecked. The '73 Mustang had a Nascar roll cage installed as the director himself did the driving. This car's name was Eleanor, and she steals the show.
The only reason I bought this movie was the fact it was mentioned in Tarantino's latest film, Death Proof. It's obvious to see the influence this original Gone in 60 Seconds had on ole Quentin. Overall, I give it the edge over the remake.
Gone in 60 seconds, a carlovers dream movie.......2006-06-27
What an awesome movie!!! Filmed in the early 70's, before seatbelt laws and just before the big gas crunch. The stars of this film may not have been the greatest actors (the dialog is a little sloppy) but they more than make up for it with the action. While watching this film you step back in time. Mini skirts, wide lapels on the coats, wide ties, bell bottoms, big hairdos (even on the men) and everyone was smoking something. Cars, cars, and more cars. The big 3 Chrysler, Ford and GM are all well represented in this film, plus imports from VW to Rolls Royce. There is even a chase scene with a Ford tow truck pulling a "Charger" while being chased by a police K-9 unit (of course the tow truck gets away). The final chase scene (which I could never describe adequately) is worth any amount a money you would pay for this movie. If you love to watch that 70's show, old reruns of Adam 12 or Dragnet and you love cars that were built when they still used contact points in the distributer, you must see this film.
Gone in 60 Seconds.......2006-03-18
Unfortunately I have not seen the movie. I ordered the wrong version. I wanted the one with Nicolas Cage.
Better than ever.......2006-03-10
From the viewpoint of someone who saw the original in the theatres back in the 70s I can truthfully say that the production company has done a superb job of remastering and restoring this great film. The colors are sharper, the audio is much clearer and the video quality is fantastic. A great fun car chase film that has no peer, I highy recommend it for a evening's entertainment that doesnt require too much heavy thinking.
best action scene ever put to film.......2006-03-07
I am glad the other viewers told me that I am not watching the original version, but if you read my title, I'm not really worried about anything except what I see. You are not gonna get any great acting performance, you are getting a movie that has a car chase that takes up half the movie. I certainly would have liked to see this dvd have original sound and remastered sound, but I do have to say that the sound was pretty freaking sweet. i have never seen a movie like this before, so if you have never seen this and don't care about the original version, buy this and you will find out what's up.

Great movie, terrible music.......2007-08-23
I love this movie but this version include a music in the chase. The best version is the original version because the music is over the engine sounds and crashes. One advice, if you have a "home theather" just play with the "speakers options" or "unplugged" the speakers of the music and you could listen and enjoy the original sound version.
Best car chase ever.......2007-06-15
A grindhouse classic with updated sound and clarified picture. Substantially superior to the Nicholas Cage remake.
70 's Muscle Car Rule..........2007-05-21
I saw the movie in 1974 when I was in junior high. I have always been a Mustang fan,driving a 1997 Coupe. This is indeed one of my all time favorite movies. Have a VHS Copy & the Plain DVD.
The only scene I didn't like,is when they trash a Dodge Challenger in the
claw.
If I had the money, I would track down a 1974 Eleanor Mach 1 because they are the coolest cars made.Just like in The James Bond Movie "Diamonds are Forever"when Sean Connery took a Mach I on two wheels,again trying & getting away from the cops.
Independent film at it's best and worst..........2007-04-21
What can I say about the original 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds that probably hasn't been said before. The flick is insanity personified. I basically came to this flick after I saw Death Proof in the theater a couple weeks ago. Since Tarantino also made a reference to this in Kill Bill (the scene where Texas Ranger Earl McGraw comes driving up to the wedding chapel massacre and the P.O.V. is from the driver so you see the dashboard and out the window; there is a row of sunglasses, each with different color lenses, this come directly from GISS), I figured it was time to finally sit down and watch it.
This is certainly one of the greatest examples of American cult cinema as it was independently written, produced and directed by H. B. Halicki a self-made businessman/gear-head. Halicki also starred in the film as well as doing all of his own stunt driving, which even includes a unplanned crash into a telephone pole that resulted in halting production as Halicki was badly injured in the wreck. Not only did Halicki write, produce, direct, act in, and do the stunt driving in the film, but he also owned or paid for almost all of the vehicles seen in the movie including the police cars and a garbage truck that he bought at auction for around $200 apiece. To say this guys was 100% behind his film would be a vast understatement.
What kills me though, is that for all of this love, most of it doesn't shine through unto the screen. The first 50 minutes of the film are horrible, badly acted (mostly because Halicki cast friends and family in most of the roles to keep the production costs down), badly paced, and for the most part badly written, if only because the viewer has no idea what's going on through most of the film. Much of the initial dialogue is delivered via voice over because 75% of the footage is in long shots, so you really don't know who is talking half of the time. Even when the plot gets a little clearer later on there are still plenty of plot holes that aren't explained (like who hired Maindrian in the first place.) It also doesn't help that all of the car thieves have the same disguise (which I have a sneaking suspicion was a big influence on Spike Jonze for his concept in the video for Sabotage by the Beastie Boys), so the viewer isn't even sure which character is on screen some of the time. The worst part though, is a 5-10 minute scene where Halicki inter cuts a plodding scene of his character walking through a warehouse looking at all of the cars his crew has stolen with a weird shot of Marion Busia (who plays his associate's wife) as the camera just slowly arcs around her sad face while she sits in the crew's office. The scene feels like it's ten years long and is utterly pointless.
All of this, though, is paid off in the last forty minutes when the film turns into one long car chase that has plenty of interesting gimmicks and gags. Throughout the film Maindrian keeps having problems getting his hands on or keeping "Eleanor" a yellow 1973 Ford Mach 1 Mustang. The film takes a drastic turn after Mandrian steals his back-up Eleanor and is double crossed resulting in a pretty daring police chase. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 90 cars are wrecked in the ensuing chase including Eleanor, though she's still able to drive pretty well (thanks to Halicki reinforcing her body for the stunt-work.)
At the end of the day though, this all makes for a pretty mundane film, especially when compared to similar flicks like Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, though it's staunch independence makes it one heck of a unique viewing experience that will probably never be duplicated. The perfect 3 star flick.
the original GONE IN 60 Seconds.......2007-04-02
ok, I bought it for my boyfriend coz he has a 2007 Black Mustang GT and all he ever talked about was the 1974 version of GONE IN 60 SECONDS! So, I got and the movie was ok, but the out takes and extra footage on the movie was even better! He was thrilled to have everything on the DVD and has watched it countless times! For him, it was a great investment! For me, its a great babysitter to keep him out from under my feet! :-)

Running in Circles.......2007-07-26
What a rip-off! Deadline Auto Theft is actually the original Gone in 60 Seconds with some very minor editing. It is well established that Gone in 60 Seconds 2 is unfinished and this shows the stunt sequences that would have been in that film. That amounts to about 33 minutes of car chases with no storyline to speak of. If you've seen the original Gone in 60 Seconds, acquiring this film will be an extraordinary waste of time unless for some reason you insist on seeing the complete Halicki body of work, in which case, the special features are quite nice. Everyone else should get this, or the original Gone in 60 Seconds, not both.
One of two worthy purchases from the trilogy.......2006-07-12
Now that I've finally seen all three of Halicki's films I have concluded that the only ones worth purchasing to the average Halicki fan (as opposed to a hardcore fan) are Gone in 60 Seconds and Deadline Auto Theft and I'll tell you why. We all have to agree that pacing a chase film wasn't Halicki's top talent as all of his films can drag and move slowly even during the car chases, especially to new young fans like myself who have been raised under a higher standard for action films. This problem is only horribly bad in The Junkman which I view as just an overall boring movie (with the tiny exception of the Vette hitting the old woman) so skip that one. With the other two, Deadline is like a Gone remix with a lot of boring parts taken out and new scenes for some extra story added in. I guess you could say it was bored out. Hehehee. So in conclusion, Deadline is the one you watch and Gone is the one you keep as a collectors item.
This was an unfinished film, due to the fact H B Halicki dies while filming it........2006-06-04
Someone correct me if I am wrong, it is to my understanding that H B Halicki, the writer, star and director of Gone in sixty seconds 2, died during of all things a boat stunt while making this movie. It would be correct to reason; poor editing and use of footage from his other movies was due to the fact the writer, star and director(not to mention the $producer$) was DEAD! that could explain it.
Buy it to say you have them all, but don't take it out of the shrink wrap!.......2005-10-20
I own all of H.B. Halicki's films, mainly because I thought they were interesting projects, and the camera work was decent, although the production qualities left much to be desired, yet not bad considering the lower budget. I have always told people to see the original "Gone in 60 Seconds," in spite of the fact it isn't as glamourous (what would you rather have - a Shelby GT 500 or a '73 Mustang) as the Nicholas Cage remake. I think it is a better film. "The Junkman" was a film that really allowed us to see how Toby could do with more money. I think he did quite well, and thought it was neat that he incorporated the chase scene from "Deadline Auto Theft," and helped the actor plot along without wasting time on the next project. I really had my hopes up for the third film. Then I thought it was really swell that there was extra footage. I sat down to watch it, with the DTS surround track of course. At first, we all have to suffer through Denise Halicki's poorly rehearsed introduction where we watch her stumble over cue cards she never learned. Finally the movie starts. I thought it was pretty neat for the first ten minutes. I was looking forward to more. Then, suddenly we show up at Eugene's wedding. I then thought "He's getting married again." It seemed different because is was better edited than the original scene, but the same footage, with a new dialogue scene. Then the 40 cars are mentioned and I said, "Oh crap." Then it goes right into the original film. While that may not have been terrible, nothing fits. There are great differences in characters appearance. They look older in the dialogue, and the quality of the film hasn't deteriorated like the original Gone in 60 Seconds reels.
[...] Barely any of the first scene was shown in "The Junkman." This could not possibly be an attempt to show viewers the best of both films. THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FILMS. The characters have different names. I also have never heard of a millionaire Hollywood actor/Insurance investigator. In other words, that could not possibly be his intent.
After watching the film, I think he had a great thing planned, but money was a problem. As his widow says in the intro to the action sequences of the incredibly tacky "Gone in 60 Seconds 2," Toby always did the action sequences first and then the dialogue. He probably realized there was no way that he could make his great feature film, so he said, "lets redo the dialogue from the original, and stick it in replacing the original dialogue." The film was marketed as a legitimate film, not just a collection of the best from the first two films. Watch the trailer. It is something new according to him.
About the footage from "Gone in 60 Seconds 2"
I am very happy this film was not actually finished. It is not inventive and the action sequences aren't very original. About the Slicer, I HATE THAT THING! What made the first film so great was pure driving. That is how he got out of the situation. He didn't have some stupid machine that overturned cars. If the film was finished, I would have still seen it. It just seems to me that Mr. Halicki was trying to milk the original film for all he could. He didn't do to badly with the Junkman, but he should have stopped there.
I would buy this DVD, but don't pay retail. It isn't worth it. I would venture to say that if you really wanted to see it, you could make "Deadline Auto Theft" yourself by playing the first 10 minutes after the opening credits of "The Junkman" and the last 80 or so minutes of "Gone in 60 Seconds" And, you wouldn't have to listen to Denise Halicki.
Three = One?.......2005-09-23
I started watching this movie, Deadline Auto Theft, and about 10 minutes into the movie I realized, that it seemed rather familiar. Then it hit me, it was the same as the first movie, just with a different introduction. The only difference between the Third and First movies is the opening car chase and then minor scenes within the movie to tie in that opening scene with the rest of the movie. At first I though that I just got a faulty DVD or something and that there was a mistake, but then I noticed that in the extra part of the the DVD there was the trailers to all three movies. I watched the first and third trailers, and those were basically the exact same thing. Again, they put in the one different car chase, and changed the name, but other than that, it was the same trailer too. All in all, it was still a good movie, because so is the first one, but I wish there was actually a different story line, or something different about it.

More Junk.......2004-11-17
Gone in "60"seconds was a great film~I am really sorry it had to be backed up with such a poor continuance~The acting"if you want to call it that"is the same as the first one in the series.The stunts are way over the top~but,if I had known the over all movie was going to be so bad with rambling non coherant scenes(oviously cocaine WAS popular in the 70's).I would just settled with Gone the 1st one~and had nothing to do with the other two in this triogly~Save your money~Or better yet buy"Highwaymen"~

Gone in 60 Seconds and Con Air DVDs.......2002-10-15
Action films are difficult buisness. Audiences today expect ever impressive action, smooth one-liners and enough explosions to make John McClane jump off a 20-storey building. While these two films don't reach the excellent heights of THE ROCK and FACE OFF, they're still fun entertainment. The pairing of two of Nicholas Cage's most high-octane action-addrenalin films sits together well, with both GONE IN 60 SECONDS and CON AIR making a very satisfying action night. Produced by action maestro Jerry Bruckheimer, CON AIR is one of my favourite Nic Cage films (Second only to FACE OFF). Effortlessly cool, it's a must-have DVD. This has tons of action, smart one-liners, great actors (John Malcovich as "The Virus" and Steve Buscemi as Garland Greene) and the Bruckheimer M.O: awesome action and big things exploding. Great fun. Directed by Dominic Sena, GONE IN 60 SECONDS isn't as impressive, and although Cage is cool, Angelina Jolie doesn't do much. Director Sena (SWORDFISH) spends too much time on un-interesting sup-plots and not enough on fun action set-pieces. The last 20 minutes are very exciting though, with a montage of high-speed chases in trademark Bruckheimer style. Not as good as THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS, but if you want a fast car chase flick with incredible action, then this is a must.
The Best.......2002-01-05
Oh my Gosh
Nick is the best Actor ever!!
He always plays the best parts and seems to always be the hero!! Also he and all the actors in gone in 60 Sec. fit the part perfectly!! You go Guys!!
Two great movies one low price.......2001-11-30
I must say this is a fantastic pack! Nicholas Cage is a fantastic actor and these are two of his best films. Con-air is a movie that has it all! It would definetly in my all time top ten films. As for Gone in Sixy seconds a great car flick and the fact that it has Joey Jeramiah from Degrassi Junior high in it makes is all the more sweeter! For the small price it's well worth checking out!
Gone in 60 Seconds.......2001-07-31
Gone in 60 seconds is remade in modern hollywood style with tremendous gusto. The movie never yearns for more energy or excitement. One must admit that the plot is shallow as well as the characters. However, this movie is for those who like a little excitement and speed topped off with tough down and dirty characters played by two of the hollywoods toughest Nicolas Cage and Angela Joule. This movie is for those who want excitement and action. If you want a deep thoughful plot look further.
The Best of Nicholas Cage.......2001-06-28
Two of my favorite movies by one of my favorite actors. A must have for any DVD collection.
