    Super Speedway- WOW

    There was an earlier post that mentioned Super Speedway but I couldn't find it. Anyway, I mentioned in the post that I was unable to find a copy locally. Well a recent trip to the big city ( 2 hrs away ) was worth the drive. I snapped up the new widsecreen version and got around to playing it last night. Like I said, WOW. Hey, I almost got carsick on some of those turns. The whole thing literally took my breath away. And the music ( especially Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler's stylistic guitar) was a treat for the ears. I don't know what difference there is from the widescreen and the original full screen ( did they shave anything off the top and bottom ?) but this version had some bonus scene that were worth the price of the disc alone. Good thing the wife was out, the DTS soundtrack made the walls shake and the cat's hair stand on end. In fact, the cat, who usually curls up on one of the chairs in the HT, flew upstairs once the film got going.
    Man, this is the best racing film I have ever watched.

    Hey George, glad you liked the movie. It'll really test your speakers and sub.

    Here's the link to the original thread

    I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to move this over to the DVD section.

      Thanks, Paul. I thought I posted it here in the first place. I must have had a Senior's moment.

          George, I have been looking for this DVD and finally found it at a Future Shop in Cambridge Ontario 1.5 hrs away from T.O. It listed for C$36.99 is this about what you paid? It is the Mack2 edition.

            Hi, CH.
            Yeah, that price is exactly what I paid for mine at Future Shop in Halifax, which is about 2 hours from where I live. It's the widescreen edition with the DTS track included. They had the original SS at the same price as the newer edition.
            Anyhow, what did you think of Super Speedway. I was projecting it on my 8 foot wide screen and WOW, like I said, I was leanin' with the turns.

              Ohh, I'm hoping to borrow the projector from work for next weekend. I'll be sure to bring this along. It'll be like watching it the first time in IMAX. Heh, I better provide some barf bags for the gang. :twisted:

                I'll be picking up my copy this Sunday when I go back to cambridge this weekend. I've heard so much rave on this one......that I'm now very eager to get it whatever the cost. I just needed to know if I was spending way too much!

                  I don't think you'll be sorry. I paid close to $30 for the first version. This is one title that rarely gets discounted. I'm still tempted to buy the second, even though I don't have DTS nor a 16:9 capable set, yet.
