410: Days of Thunder [1990] Movie Discussion

Spoiler Filled Film Conversation, Hooray!

We all love racing films, right? Especially how they are all so different and don’t rely on the exact same climax in every film, right? Sarcasm aside, we’re sure there are some really good racing films out there, but Days of Thunder ain’t one of them, by our reckoning at least. We mean, if you’re looking for a very toned down Top Gun rip-off with cars then this is certainly the film for you, but we need to cling onto the oddities like: the weirdly misjudged romantic plot which might be a glimpse into the real lives of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, sugar packet demonstrations, threatening medical care with a baseball bat, the overuse of the term ‘Superbowl of’ and a whole lot of of angrily throwing your hat on the floor.
