david hollyfield TV Movie by Robert Rodriguez? Already a conundrum... And starring David Arquette as the anti hero? Gotta be worth looking at.Not disappointing... Great performances all around, great Rock 'n Roll soundtrack, violence, sexiness and rebellion...It works.

ClammyJoe I saw this movie two or three years ago and even though I don't remember the plot I still remember what a waste of talent and potential it was. To begin with the title and video box are somewhat deceptive, not only does this movie have nothing to do with road racing it has very little to do with cars. The tone was all over, it was a drama with slapstick thrown in, that could possibly work but in this case it didn't. Also, it was filled with scenes that took me out of the movie, that made me think "that would never happen". For example someone throws a catsup bottle at someone else's head from across the room and the bottle shatters as if it were made of delicate china. That would never happen, those bottles are thick and if anything were to break it would be the guy's head. Also there's a scene where someone who can't roller skate at all a few minutes later is such a good skater he can bend forward at the waist and just graze the floor with the top of his head. Most people can't even do that standing still. There are some good scenes in this movie which makes it all that more annoying because it shows you how good it could have been.

Tomsriv-1 The beginning of this movie rocked. It had good music and a fun tone. But it was ruined by the violent end. Rodriguez doesn't know how to make a movie without violence. It is to easy to end a movie with one character pulling out a gun and shooting everyone. I wanted to like this movie, but it just fell apart.

GirlwonderReturns I first heard about this movie from a friend who knew of my love for the 50's rockabilly era, and I must admit I had my reservations. David Arquette, the kooky 1-800-CALL-ATT guy, as a tough, ultra-cool 50's rebel? I didn't think it could possibly work. Then I watched the movie, and discovered just how well casting an actor against type can work. Arquette truly brought Dude Delaney to life, and he was also fortunate enough to be surrounded by a perfect supporting cast. I especially liked O'Neal Compton as diner proprietor J.T. and the always-dependable William Sadler as Sarge, although John Hawkes, as lovable 'freak' Nixer, stole every scene he appeared in. Salma Hayek did a good job of making me alternately love and hate her Donna. Overall, I thought Roadracers was a lot of fun - quirky, exciting, funny, and with a great rockabilly soundtrack that had me dancing in my living room. Bravo to Robert Rodriguez - go, cat, go!!!!
