Jeff Wagner You have to like it for what it is. It is a cheep car movie with Corey Feldman and Jan Michael Vincent in it. It doesn't matter what else happens. That is what defines this one. With that said. It was fun. I enjoy the low budget car films. This has the car chases, a little t-n-a and a few big names and an odd cameo. First the cars and chases. You have a Corvette, a few Porshes, a Ferrari, a Jaguar and a few Mustanges. Chad McQueen, Steve McQueen's son, at one point drives a green 1968 Mustang Fastback I guess as a tribute to Bullett in which his father stared. The chases are good, not great. You can tell that one car is attached to a camera truck during one of the chases. The story is about what you would expect. Not going to elaborate. The stars. Well Chad McQueen is not his dad but is well suited for the lead in a low budget car film. Corey Feldman is ...well... Corey Feldman. Michael Madsen plays a guy like Michael Madsen would play. Jan Michael Vincent, I think had a motorcycle accident before this movie was made and his face looks like it went through a meet grinder. But he fits the over all theme of this movie. LOW BUDGET. Dom Delouis plays the worst role I think he has ever played. And if you watch close Ron Jeremy pops up twice in the film. Don't get me wrong. If you like cheesy low-budget car films, this will hit the spot. If you are looking for Bullett. Not it.
Anthony Bannon (bannonanthony) As a fan of car chase films, as soon as I heard about this one I had to see it. I was annoyed that when I tried to watch the trailer on the internet that it wouldn't play, which meant I couldn't get a taster of it. But now I finally own the film on DVD and I have to say that I'm glad I do as RED LINE, while not exactly a great car chase film, is enjoyable enough.I think it's unfair to try and compare Chad McQueen to his father. I mean, we might as well face it. Chad will never be as good as his father Steve. But I think he should be judged for his own qualities. In this film he is very good in the action hero role, and handles the stunt driving excellently. One problem I had with the car chases was that at times it seems the cars aren't going very fast at all. But they are still exciting. It was a bit cheeky how they have Chad drive a green Mustang like the one his dad drove in BULLITT at one point, but the cars on display are all beauties, especially the contraband-carrying Corvette that the main body of the plot revolves around.Roxana Zal is quite good as leading lady Gem and Jan-Michael Vincent is very menacing as main bad guy Keller. Strangely though, MIchael Madsen who is given very high billing in the credits is barely involved in the movie, but is still very good. It's a shame Dom DeLuise and Corey Feldman didn't have more to do. I love the way that Chad manages to stitch up both sets of bad guys looking for the Corvette's cargo in the end.In short, RED LINE is a good enough way to spend an hour and a half in my opinion.
CorvetteArchivesDotCom I saw this on broadcast TV Late Movie and was both disappointed and excited. I saw the description as having Chad McQueen and wished to really just see if he looked like his dad. The writing and editing was at best abysmal! The car chases were the best part except for some editing...a first year film student could have done better!! Spoiler data 2 follow so stop now if you care....... First the ZR-1 scenes were VERY cool...jumps and stuff and at the end they smash it into a brick wall!!!!! WAY COOL! At one point Chad must steal a car to get away from the bad guy...any guesses which car?....his dad's Mustang Bullit car of course! The cinematography is at times archaic and unique at others but is overdone. In one scene as they race through a cemetery skirting death the camera does a 360 degree shot that is very unique but they do it several times and you actually get dizzy! They apparently didn't have $ to do long chase scenes so they used a couple cameras then used the different shots. The only problem was it was WAY obvious and were used minutes later in obviously the SAME unique location. It actually looked worse than "Airwolf" ...same shot of Chad shifting...mob guy close up..same shot Chad shifting...ad infinitum! One scenes editing was laughable they used the EXACT SAME SEQUENCE TWICE....they went around a curve and a Ford model "A or T" was coming toward them and it even "ahhhh-oooo-ga"ed....Not once...but TWICE! They didn't even edit the sound!!!Being a Corvette nut I searched many stores at the mall today...but there are SO many films with the name RED LINE spelled different ways I just decided to find it here....BTW, oddly a 1997 sci-fi flick of the same name ALSO has a C4 Vette on the cover.If you like Vettes, or thought Stalone in Cobra was a comedy....you gotta see this movie!!
jackootz This was meant to be a comedy,right? It couldn't have been a serious try at an action/drama flick! I had more laughs watching this mess than any Jim Carrey movies! I loved watching McQueen get all confused trying to figure out the shift pattern on that 'Bullitt' ripoff Mustang. How about when he popped the clutch in reverse & then couldn't find first gear! Ahahaha! Or the high performance Corvette that couldn't outrun the 195 horsepower Police cars. Then there's the obligatory Bullitt chase sequence ripoff where all the cross traffic is 'mysteriously' moving faster than the chase vehicles.(I'm not sure I can spoil anything about this thing but I guess this could be a spoiler):I like the Reservoir Dog ripoff scene.Is that how they fooled Madsen into getting involved in this thing? The only drama I found was looking at Vincents face.I kept wondering how hammered he must have been to check himself out of a hospital after a near fatal crash just to act in such a fatal wreck of a movie. Actually, I think I might be too harsh. It really served some good unintentional humor! Sort of like watching The A-Team.
