Love The Beast... Eric Bana's car movie, who is seeing it?

[jet111]

For those of you who don't know, Eric Bana has made a film about the love of his car (a Ford Falcon GT coupe).

He was on Rove the other night talking about it and I just checked out the website, it looks pretty good and I cant wait to see it... It may even help explain to people why we like our old corollas so much :jdmsmile:

who couldn't love the sound of a 600hp 351:wub:

[Jonny Rochester]

I saw this car in the "pits" at the Casino in Hobart a few years ago. Eric was there, and a camera crew of course. Probably the night before he crashed it.

Targa Tas realy seams to be the one to do. (PM me for navigator spot in Targa South, in a AE86).

[driftke70]

i like it because it shows someone who is reasonably well respected in the generic aussie house hold being somewhat in love with cars, and shows your not evil if you do.

[Instigator]

Blacktown drive-in next Wednesday night :)

[shift_rook]

yeah will definately go see this

[focus_7]

Blacktown drive-in next Wednesday night :)

March Sprinter Cruise!

[JUG-HEAD]

looks like a good flick and supposedly a bit of a tear jerker towards the end, will be definetly dragging the missus to this and to try and make her understand why i am the way i am with my toys!

[letsgohunting]

definitely watching. good to get some good car publicity for once, none of this fast and the furious crap.

[slydar]

"you have 700hp, and leaf springs, are you insane"

"i didnt think i was?? :S "

lol. funny line from the previews.

[Konakid]

Definately going for a watch.

[Vance]

looks awesome. cant wait to see it

[jet111]

definitely watching. good to get some good car publicity for once, none of this fast and the furious crap.

Yeah or another quality story from Today Tonight or A Current Affair...

[racsov]

looks great. will def go see.

[NIZLAH]

just watched the trailer... looks awesome...

[superbmobile]

yeah saw the trailer before, looks the goods should be a quality film for sure.

[Oversized 86]

will definately head down for a viewing...maybe ill have to show my family so they understand haha

[redsprinter]

much respect for him .. making a flim about something he loves doing ... only found out this year that he races porsches in the cerra cup ... and doesnt do to bad at it aswell ...

man this flim is gonna rock ...

wonder what roll jemery clarkson plays...

[jet111]

^ yeah, should be interesting. I am waiting to see what role Dr Phil plays, some interesting characters in there.
I want Jay Leno's Garage!

[Oversized 86]

by the looks of the trailer its going to be more of a doco style presentation

[focus_7]

Yeah they're definately conducting interviews in that trailer. Has to be more of a factual/documentary piece rather than traditional narrative film with actors and characters.

[jet111]

For sure its like a doco but it will be interesting to see what everyone has to say. They are all interesting characters

[drift kid]

looks to be a good movie, will see it when it comes out.

[dunga70]

Yeah or another quality story from Today Tonight or A Current Affair...

they are always about ulehs and habibs. they never address the face that if all us "hoons" were given somewhere to go and test our skills and our cars off the street for a reasonable price we would..

will definetly be seeing this movie, love how they got jeremy clarkson and jay leno involved in it.

[letsgohunting]

Yeah or another quality story from Today Tonight or A Current Affair...

Today tonight and a current affair should be taken off the air. They're the most premier models of biased and bullshit media I've ever seen.

[UGANGA]

Blacktown drive-in next Wednesday night :)

also planning on that hahahahahaha

[Revan]

aware of his carrera cup exploits, and the driving prowess of his big name guests.

trailer gave me goosebumps. will watch this film for sure.

[Revan]

Today tonight and a current affair should be taken off the air. They're the most premier models of biased and bullshit media I've ever seen.

this is a bit offtopic mate.

but I love to point out the late 90s ABC series "frontline".

In my opinion if you havn't seen frontline you aren't prepared to watch commercial television. The best sattire ever regarding shows like today tonight.
It will equip you with the ability to watch that tripe purely for laughs.

I was about to say frontline should be compulsory viewing for all australians, but then.... IT WAS .....in NSW year 11, 2001 at least...

[focus_7]

It was for year 12 from 2003-2008 also.

[driftke70]

type the real Noami Robson in you tube.

[Instigator]

also planning on that hahahahahaha

I might swap some speakers into my 71 and take that so the rolla's can represent 8)

Is the Jessie's car in your sig? She's my second cousin :DD

[Jip86]

i got tingles to, does that make me a deranged car nut? looks the goods tho, cant wait

[Wally]

Dr Phil can fuck off. Man i hate that prick.

[trikzlane]

definately a good movie to go see

[Mr Awsome]

yeah ill be seeing this one. it will be a good brake from all the shit movies that have been coming out.

[Vance]

it isnt playing at many cinemas yet. cheap skate greater union dont wanna be paying as much on royalties it seems

[Instigator]

Saw it last night at the drive ins. Fark me there were some nice muscle cars there.

Be warned though it's a great movie overall, there is one of his drogan bogan mates dribbling on a bit to some bloke with a shitbox Falcon, and Jeremy Clarkson bags corollas. My mate in the car next to me thought that was the funniest shit he ever heard :(

[Rice86]

so no one has entered their BEAST in the compition on the LovetheBeast site?...

i was expecting atleast 1 ae86 in their i could vote for...now i have no choice but to vote for the mini coooooooooper

[Vance]

i would if my car was in a reasonable state

[Mr Fujiwara]

yeh i said OI or HEY! really loud when he said "not just a corolla" or somthing

[Sturgey]

yeh hao did rice86

[jet111]

yeh hao did rice86

I entered my old VH, thought it was more appropriate than the sprinter and mines not much of a looker anyway.

[skin]

that bit where he was leading against car sitting on the ground why its wrote off


ive shared that feeling too many times

:crying: im going to get my old car back lol

[glenn]

saw this movie last night, im making all of my family and friends who ask why i spend monies on cars go watch it too!

Im not a big dr. phil fan, but he really did have useful things to say lol. Some of the parts towards the end really do make you get a bit emotional and feel so sorry for the poor bloke when you see his face!

:thumbup:

[Vance]

saw an interview today of bana at bathurst with his evo x. top bloke.

[Eason]

u can understand the movie if you are a car guy, otherwise it's bullshit to watch

[sotiros86]

Saw it this arvo, it's a top film. Gotta admit, it does get a bit emotional when he is talking about his car after the crash. You really feel sorry for him.

Also, massive lols at the xb falcon bogan, and when eric and his navigator are pretending to race NASCAR at the end on a 6 wheel quad

[James86]

saw it on sunday, really good i thought. my mate whos not into cars at all loved it too.

[racsov]

its awesome. if you havent seen it, go

[dr1ft-pig]

im shattered its not even showing anywhere near me

gotta drive to qld to see it

[jet111]

im shattered its not even showing anywhere near me

gotta drive to qld to see it

That sucks, I cant see it at my local either... its a 20 min train ride for me, I might go and see it tomorrow.

[dr1ft-pig]

i got 1.5 hrs :(

[jet111]

I ended up taking that train ride today. I thought it was good but it ended just as I was getting into it. Love his car, its insane. I was pretty impressed by the exhaust system on it, there was a good shot of it when the car was on the hoist, looked like a dual 4 inch system or something...
