Snake & Mongoose (2013)

Snake u0026 Mongoose: Directed by Wayne Holloway. With Jesse Williams, Richard Blake, Ashley Hinshaw, Kim Shaw. The untold story of how Southern California drag racers, Don “The Snake” Prudhomme and Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen combined with corporate giants to change the face of sports and ultimately became the most famous rivalry in racing history.

“I grew up in California watching the Snake and the Mongoose race in person and recognize a lot of the cars in the movie. The cars used in the movie are fantastic and bring back many memories. I bought the DVD and havenu0026#39;t finished it yet, this should tell you something. It kind of putters along like one of the Lifetime channel movies my wife watches on TV. It really has that made for TV feel to it, Its really disappointing, I had such high hopes. Specifically the in car shots of the drivers helmets bouncing around are just horrible. And how many shots do we need of the transporters going down deserted highways do you need? Was this film ever edited? Seems to have a lot of filler. I have seriously seen better VHS tapes back in the day produced by Diamond P Sports. Its a shame they couldnu0026#39;t emulate classics like On Any Sunday, Heart like a wheel, Evel Knievel or even the movie Dale. I was hoping for better, but it is what it is.”
