This movie was amazing! So was Duvall of course, but this movie is a time capsule of an amazing time in racing. Sadly never to be seen again. This movie is so great. Most of it is based on real people and events.
@@chadrat39 dude. I don’t know what movie you watched but the racing scenes in Days Of Thunder sucked great big green donkey turds. You must have been watching Stroker Ace or some 💩
Actually when the movie was shot, there was no pit road speed limit, that didn't come until the next year. This scene was a real accident during filming that was almost tragic. One of the stunt people playing the pit crew actually brushed his foot on the hood.
@@hybridAbsol No... no they wouldn't. 😂 This was when Nascar was actual good and not a bunch of soft pussies. There was no speed limit in the pits, they could bust out racing each other out of the pits.. as it should still be. they should also allow bumping, rubbing, putting dudes int he wall.
"Eating ice cream." Lol. What makes a lot of movies that Tom Cruise is in, so much better, is that his character is never a superman who never makes mistakes. He's still a badass, but an imperfect one.
One of the most under rated action films, yes it was easy to pick apart and tease but it was and still is a fun film to watch and at the end of the day that's all that matters.
“You have enough trouble riding around the track as it is” I remember watching this as a kid and when Harry said that I thought “welp this isn’t going to end well.”
@@peterradosevich7975 I love putting this song on and “I’m a Man” and asking people to describe what they think the singer looks like. They always say a black guy
Robert Duvall is like bacon.... he just makes everything better. This movie goes nowhere without him in it. I mean, it'd be a decent movie that no one remembered 5 years later. But...he just makes it epic.
That actually happened and so did the ice cream fight. I forget who the real driver was that was involved now, you I'm sure you can find it. Cole's character is based off of Tim Richmond and a few others. A lot of the things that happen in this movie really happened.
NASCAR I was raised on. After the Winston cup died and Earnhardt passed away. It changed for the worst. And after the bubba what's his name BS NASCAR DIED
WELL, KEN, U SHOULD BE A NASCAR FAN, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY S/B AN L V RRRRRRRRRRRRRAIDERS FAN, IN MY HUMBLE EYES. C'MON, AS 'AL' USED TO SAY. I WAS IN T BAY TO WATCH THEM IN JANUARY OF '84 WIN THEIR LAST LOMBARDI AND MY TROPHY CASE STILL HAS ROOM.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SORRY EX TARANNA ARGO - JOE THE NON - THROWIN' THEIZZZMAN - AS HOWARD THE HEEBIE JEEBIE - USED TO CALL HIM - PUKE, PUKE, PUKE. HI HEEBIE HOWARD C. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Who is still lookin up scenes from Day of Thunder in 2022. I was a fabricator for RYR from 2001 til the last season we were a team. This movie brings back a better time in the sport for guys like me. Because I'm so glad I got out when I did, as us fabricators don't really have a job anymore.
Current NASCAR Management has all but destroyed the sport. Its unwatchable. Particularly after the "noose" incident and how they acted about it. walking arm in arm like it was a gay pride parade and that BS, and subsequently BLM being on one of the cars.
The best movie about nascar you can love....for those who want to know what nascar is all about!!! Only way to live it, feel it, love it!!! Go to one race!!!
friggin' love that line. you hear that and you have no doubt what it means--the picture just comes up in your mind. it's like the scene in Beverly Hills Cop when Foley walks into the locker room and you hear the captain shout, "is that f--ing foley?" everyone's bung hole clenches b/c they've known once in their life how it was to get someone that angry at them. some days, you done know you screwed up and it's time to pay for it.
The amount of times they show the accelerator sticking in this movie you'd think Cole would've suggested some wd40 on the pedal lever...lol still a classic and love it.
The scene with Cole and rowdi in the wheelchair at the hospital is hilarious , I got done in hospital for the doing exactly the same thing with one of the other patients 😅😅😅
The average fan who hasn’t been in those cars in the turns doesn’t know that you’re actually looking up as you’re going through it. It’s amazing. I did the Richard petty driving experience at Daytona and TV does not show how the drivers actually deal with those cars on those banks.
I remember when this movie came out and my step brother and I went to go see it and it was awesome on the big screen I was 15 or 16 at the time. This is a great movie I loved it then and still do today in 2022
Boa tarde meu Amigo !!!! Um dos melhores filmes que eu já assisti em minha Vida. Bom demais. Só saudades...... Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.......
I love that, after being told to go back out and hit the pace car, you can see Cole has a couple of seconds where he's genuinely considering if it's a legitimate strategy, since he's agreed to listen to Harry and trusted his experience by this point :))))
I gotta pit. " We r busy. We r eatin ice cream. U r welcome to come in and get one but i don't believe Nascar would think much of you with an ice cream cone out there. You r having a hard time ridin around the track as it is"
I wonder if this is the song that tempted Tom and Nicole to per say "watch a movie"! LOL. Anyway they had met and got married I believe while still making this movie. It may be Far & Away.
this movie is used every day. all the die hard guys just starting out on pavement or dirt, this is what it's about. BTW days of thunder was a movie indeed. but do people realize they used parts of actual races to film it. through out the year from track to track.
I could never figure out why Harry was shaking his head at Phoenix when Cole was the meat in the sandwich. He was the only one who came out pointing straight and still going.
My assumption is because they are in a turn and the fastest way to do that is go low on the track. That's why its best to pass on the inside. Cole was dumb to put himself in that position to be sandwiched, because the car at the top of the track is going to turn downward to make the curve. Cole gets lucky, but it damages the car and takes out 2 other drivers, including the "Dale Earnhardt" figure of the movie. So Harry is shaking his head at Cole's lack of experience and the trouble it's causing. Or you could take it as Rowdy, by taking the low line of the track, forces Cole into the middle, which is Rowdy still messing with Cole and causing him to have accidents. Just backfired on Rowdy. Either way, Cole is just lucky and showing lack of experience. He takes out the top car by accident, not intentionally.
Should watch the nascar special they did on the filming this movie. Talk about crunch time for everything but it's super awesome to hear the back story of it all
Watched the 1992 Davey Allison crash at Pocono and I said wait a second this is Pocono? Darlington, Bristol, Daytona, what a difference 30 years can make.
I don’t know what everyone else thinks but for me Robert Duvall made this movie 10 times better than it actually was
Yep. Still quote him from this movie. 2021.
This movie was amazing! So was Duvall of course, but this movie is a time capsule of an amazing time in racing. Sadly never to be seen again. This movie is so great. Most of it is based on real people and events.
False, racing made this
@@chadrat39 dude. I don’t know what movie you watched but the racing scenes in Days Of Thunder sucked great big green donkey turds. You must have been watching Stroker Ace or some 💩
He’s a goat for sure - I love this movie
Duvall, Cruise, Rooker, Quaid, C. Reilly whoever casted this movie is casting genius
where's Dennis Quaid?
@@msullivan85 Randy Quaid. The guy in the leather jacket you see from time to time.
@@nilesyensel7516 Oh yeah okay the car owner. Great actor of ancillary characters.
You forgot Nicole Kidman
And Nicole Kidman
It gets me when Cruise says " This is gonna hurt " then comes plowing into the pit box as all the crew members are bailing out. Great scene.
Cole should get a penalty for that, he was speeding in the pits before the crash 😂
Actually when the movie was shot, there was no pit road speed limit, that didn't come until the next year.
This scene was a real accident during filming that was almost tragic. One of the stunt people playing the pit crew actually brushed his foot on the hood.
If I ever met TC I'd just ask him to please just say two words for me "ICE CREAM!" Bwaaaahaaaa!
Back when NASCAR was fun, miss those LUMINAS and Thunderbirds
@@hybridAbsol No... no they wouldn't. 😂 This was when Nascar was actual good and not a bunch of soft pussies. There was no speed limit in the pits, they could bust out racing each other out of the pits.. as it should still be. they should also allow bumping, rubbing, putting dudes int he wall.
Compared to movies today this was a masterpiece.
You could watch nothing but Tom Cruise movies for a week and never see a bad one.
Legend was pretty bad.
Eyes Wide Shut is garbage.
See Far and Away?
😊 U GOT THAT RIGHT, SIR !!!!!!!!!!!!. + GO L V RRRRRRRRRAAAAAIIIIDDDDERRRRS!!!!!!...😊😊😊😊😊
"Eating ice cream." Lol.
What makes a lot of movies that Tom Cruise is in, so much better, is that his character is never a superman who never makes mistakes. He's still a badass, but an imperfect one.
Crazy part is, this one has a basis in actual NASCAR lore.
Back in the day when stock car racing was fun to watch
Dmiller7239 it's still fun 2 watch
And the body's was at least close stock too
@@rcracer8872 too much BS in it these days if you actually race rather it be dirt or asphalt you understand where I am coming from
@@bubbaparrish1454 yeah I have been a NASCAR fan since 1995 and you're right it use to be better but I still like it and always will
Yeah, I know. I'm literally in tears thinking of the way that NASCAR has lost its glory
This movie will never get old.
One of the most under rated action films, yes it was easy to pick apart and tease but it was and still is a fun film to watch and at the end of the day that's all that matters.
Robert Duvall made the whole show, I think
To me it was simply “Top Gun” on a race track.
Literally any movie before 2000, love them.
One of my favorite movies
@@socal33 which is awesome
“You have enough trouble riding around the track as it is”
I remember watching this as a kid and when Harry said that I thought “welp this isn’t going to end well.”
Came to this comment as soon as I heard the quote while scrolling through the comments while watching the video
Once I saw him taking off the seatbelt I was like “uh oh, not good”😬🤣
Vettel during his last year on Ferrari be like
As long as Hollywood don’t try and remake this, I’ll die a happy man and keep it on my favorite list
They could never remake this. The world is way too woke and stupid.
What about a Formula 1 remake with To
Holland recast as the lead?
@@K1NGM4K3Rnah m8 f1 would ruin it gotta be NASCAR
How about a sequel where Trickle is still racing? NASCAR would be all in!
How about a sequel with TC?
I can’t listen to Spencer Davis Band anymore without thinking of this montage. Well done.
Steve Winwood made the band!!
@@peterradosevich7975 I love putting this song on and “I’m a Man” and asking people to describe what they think the singer looks like. They always say a black guy
You should watch Iron Eagle
@@joeywalden5864 ha! I can act that entire movie out for you right now, with no notes. One of my favorites
@@joeywalden5864First time I heard this song😂
"How bout that, something we don't have to fix" slams car. "I don't want you spoiled buck" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 gets me every time!
best NASCAR documentary ever
Robert Duvall is like bacon....
he just makes everything better.
This movie goes nowhere without him in it. I mean, it'd be a decent movie that no one remembered 5 years later. But...he just makes it epic.
Hit the pace car. Best line in the movie
That actually happened and so did the ice cream fight. I forget who the real driver was that was involved now, you I'm sure you can find it. Cole's character is based off of Tim Richmond and a few others. A lot of the things that happen in this movie really happened.
The Pace Car Was Buddy Baker And Ice Cream Was Benny Parsons
I'm not a NASCAR fan and never have been, but this movie has a real good chemistry with all the actors and is just a great film overall.
NASCAR I was raised on.
After the Winston cup died and Earnhardt passed away. It changed for the worst. And after the bubba what's his name BS NASCAR DIED
To be honest it’s a much better movie if you’re not a fan.
@@CycolacFan Probably so.

Loved that Exxon car! Spoke seniority
There goes a fender.....There goes a quarter panel......well damn there goes the whole car
how about that a side we don't have to fix. (kicks the panel) i don't want you spoiled buck.
"I dont want you spoiled" always gets me 😂
"Well, how about that. That's something we don't have to fix."
Still say it all the time.
The best movie about nascar you can love....for those who want to know what nascar is all about!!! Only way to live it, feel it, love it!!! Go to one race!!!
Gimme Some Lovin'. A song by the Spencer Davis Group. A very young Steve Winwood, vocalist, sings it.
"HIT THE PACE CAR!!" so many great lines in this film
Montoya took it seriously and hit the jet dryer
I was watching that race and was like how Montoya hit the jet dryer😮😮
Eating ice cream 😂😂😂😂😂
Might as Well Hit the Pace Car,He' s Hit Everything Else .One of Best Lines in the Movie
Lol
One of the best scenes in the movie leading up to the best line about a monkey and a football. Hands one of the best racing movies out there
friggin' love that line. you hear that and you have no doubt what it means--the picture just comes up in your mind. it's like the scene in Beverly Hills Cop when Foley walks into the locker room and you hear the captain shout, "is that f--ing foley?" everyone's bung hole clenches b/c they've known once in their life how it was to get someone that angry at them.
some days, you done know you screwed up and it's time to pay for it.
The amount of times they show the accelerator sticking in this movie you'd think Cole would've suggested some wd40 on the pedal lever...lol still a classic and love it.
He doesn’t know anything about cars though
Thanks for capturing this great sequence. Tony Scott was the best at this style. RIP.
"One of my favorite films growing up" /// this movie came out in 1990, the year I got married the second time. I am officially OLD.
HIT DA PACE CAR
*HIT DA PACE CAR!!!*
Cyberknight_ID ....I want to you..to be perfect!😎...now...hit the bloody car!!😂😃🤔
What for ?...😏
Earnhardt is the ONLY driver to ever bump the Pace Car( Elom Langley) and get away with it
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! One of my favorites of all time.
The scene with Cole and rowdi in the wheelchair at the hospital is hilarious , I got done in hospital for the doing exactly the same thing with one of the other patients 😅😅😅
Thanks for posting this part of the movie...LMAO...too funny..."Cuz you hit every other damn thing out there...I want you to be perfect"...HAHAHA!
Whyte Wolf every time!!!!!
Whyte Wolf hit the pace car
Whyte Wolf I love that line too, reminds me of my father
didn't remember thanks!
"I don't want you spoiled Buck"!! "We're eating icecream"!! Lol 😆😆😆
ICECREAM!
ehh yo , feel free to drop by the pits but i dont think Nascar allow you to stop for ice cream lol
I miss all the tobacco ads. You knew times were good back when they had em
It's amazing how, from inside the car, all the tracks look like Daytona...
The average fan who hasn’t been in those cars in the turns doesn’t know that you’re actually looking up as you’re going through it. It’s amazing. I did the Richard petty driving experience at Daytona and TV does not show how the drivers actually deal with those cars on those banks.
90’s montages we’re the best.
80s and 90s race car liveries were the best.
The way Harry throws his hat in anger all the time lol
Randy quaid yelling “what is this shit!!!!!” after Cole smacks into the pit wall, and Robert Duvall mouthing silently “yeah!”
I never noticed that 😂😂
This and the rental car scene were the best.
The wheelchair scene aswell. 😄
I prefer this over Top Gun. I know, I know. I prefer Cruise's character here, and Tony Scott shot those races to perfection!
Don't worry about preferring this over Top Gun mate. It's the same film as Top Gun.
its literally top gun but NASCAR..sorta..kinda..not..rlly
@@drdecent9104 except nobody got killed.
Haha lmao when Harry kicks the panel off and humbles Brotha
I don't care what anyone else thinks, I grew up on this film and I loved it 😁😁👍👍
Hoping for the sequel now that Top Gun Maverick was a success
No sequel, please! Great in it's own time, but now, eh...
I remember when this movie came out and my step brother and I went to go see it and it was awesome on the big screen I was 15 or 16 at the time. This is a great movie I loved it then and still do today in 2022
My favorite part of the whole movie!
This is even One of my favorite films of Tom Cruise's growing up
Great movie, classic. "There goes the fender" lol
Cracks me everytime. "Well look at that, somethin' I don't have to fix."
I say that every time I find something intact in a mash of broken stuff😂.
I love this movie!!!!♥️
Boa tarde meu Amigo !!!!
Um dos melhores filmes que eu já assisti em minha Vida.
Bom demais.
Só saudades......
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal.
Abraço do Brasil.......
Hard to believe critics hated this movie. It’s so much better than the super crap they are putting out today.
'We're uh eating icecream.'
'Ice-cream.'
Not sure how nascar would feel about you driving around the track eating an ice cream cone seeing as you can barely keep it in control as it is
One of my favorite films. Just watched it a few days ago
I don't know how many times I seen this movie 🍿🎥 it never gets old
Were eating ice, ICE CREAM!!!!!!! LOL
He didn't slam into you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you he rubbed you. And Son, Rubbin is Racing!
Love love love this show!
My favorite scene from the entire movie!!! Then again, it's all good!!!
My wife and I saw the Spencer Davis group at the catalyst in Santa Cruz California.
Was a great show didn't remind me of Days of thunder at all
The King Sir Richard Petty once said
"Hell if ya don't put her in to the wall every once and a while you ain't trying hard enough". 🙃
Priceless
You don’t see crowds like that anymore.
Great tune, it is what I think every day 😊😊😊😊❤
I want you to hit the pace car. All time classic something we don't have to fix. Such a great movie hope they do a sequel
And rubbing, son, is racin!
Brilliant movie! :)
They played the same song in Rush when James Hunt was racing in f3.
It was a nice touch on Ron Howard’s part.
LOL Harry finishing building the car, looking proud as ever, and the car shown in the starting lineup....... then, disaster!
I love that, after being told to go back out and hit the pace car, you can see Cole has a couple of seconds where he's genuinely considering if it's a legitimate strategy, since he's agreed to listen to Harry and trusted his experience by this point :))))
Reminds me of Rush. Racing movies are awesome
DID YOU SEE THAT GUY!!!
Whut
This film was great .😊
I gotta pit. " We r busy. We r eatin ice cream. U r welcome to come in and get one but i don't believe Nascar would think much of you with an ice cream cone out there. You r having a hard time ridin around the track as it is"
God I love this movie!
I wonder if this is the song that tempted Tom and Nicole to per say "watch a movie"! LOL. Anyway they had met and got married I believe while still making this movie. It may be Far & Away.

I need to watch this movie again
Beautiful

Great scenes!
Eating ice cream, it weakens the knees people. Knight and Day movie, another fine movie.
Race cars then were awesome. So many models
I searched for so long to find this song, and I heard it in this movie
Loved this movie
I could never figure out why Harry was shaking his head at Phoenix when Cole was the meat in the sandwich. He was the only one who came out pointing straight and still going.
My assumption is because they are in a turn and the fastest way to do that is go low on the track. That's why its best to pass on the inside. Cole was dumb to put himself in that position to be sandwiched, because the car at the top of the track is going to turn downward to make the curve.

Either way, Cole is just lucky and showing lack of experience. He takes out the top car by accident, not intentionally.
Easy...hes the crew chief .that car was jacked even though he didnt wreck.
Probably because of all the damage he knows the crew will have to fix during and after the race lol
Perfect song for driving between jucntion 12 and 13 of the M1. Timing is perfect. At 80.
This movie might be better then top gun imo
Should watch the nascar special they did on the filming this movie. Talk about crunch time for everything but it's super awesome to hear the back story of it all
Genius genius for casting if there was a word to go beyond genius the casting people were
"HIT THE PACE CAR!"
Robert Duvall carried this movie.
Best scene in the whole movie
The tracks have really changed over the years
Watched the 1992 Davey Allison crash at Pocono and I said wait a second this is Pocono? Darlington, Bristol, Daytona, what a difference 30 years can make.
HIT THE PACE CAR!!!
best line in the movie
"We end up looking like a monkey f*cking a football out there"
"We're uh, eating ice cream"
Spettacolo puro . Musica fantastica
My husband Andrew Cathey died at Daytona Florida, he tried to stop a lady being robbed. He was shot in the chest and died instantly
I have this movie on DVD and VHS tape and I love it because it has a lot to do with NASCAR
That was a good scene. :)
Top gear once voted for the best driving song of all time and in my opinion this is it .
Brilliant movie
Best Car Race Movie of all TIME!
