Seriously?  You're kidding right?  I hope...

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

As a physician I am very used to major inaccuracies depicted by Hollywood. Knowing it will be there, expect it, live with it, and enjoy the story, which I did very much.
And by the way, the chest X-ray was put up backwards.

69-2524, since 1992

Great catch ! Our group thoroughly enjoyed the film. After we left the theater and continued our festivity in a nearby restaurant, we discussed the inaccuracies. We laughed and taunted each other.

But in the end we all realized it's just a fun film,  definitely not a documentary.  Rumor has it that some of us have seen FvF several times already.

Enjoy !

OK, I get it now.

Even thought the movie is riddled with errors it should be enjoyed for what it is, PURE ENTERTAINMENT...

...just like FOX News.

LOL ! It's a great entertaining movie that's why it hit over $50 million world wide in its opening week.

Enjoy it for what it is pure entertainment that's all.

As they say at the auctions... and for the fourth and final time...

Chris,

I agree, great entertainment! The charity that sponsored the movie gathering actually had one of the original Lemans GTOs and some GT40s at the event. One of the previous long term owners of the winning car was also present.

A great time was has by all.

I'm convinced.

Just going to have my lunch (peach mint pie) and I'm off to the movies.

Loved the show.  It's been a long time since I was in a theater with a pile of strangers where there was out right laughter and cheers.  I sensed some unity for an American accomplishment.  That being said, Shelby was saying to himself "wait, wait, ok, now"-referring to Miles getting on it and making his move, when in reality, he wouldn't have even been able to see where Miles was.  Yep, I'm going to see it again.  As to the nature of this thread- all in fun.  Look at the countless discussions about the Bullitt movie, all the hubcaps and such....

We love it also, America  !
