the 1954 classic, The Fast and The Furious starring John Ireland and Dorothy Malone.
This was the original film that started the series of movies with similar titles,
most recently a decent Rob Cohen remake in 2001 starring Paul Walker and Vin Diesel
and another offspring car happy film from the legendary John Singleton called
2 Fast 2 Furious, which also stars Paul Walker. But if the vintage and old school
is your passion, nothing beats the original from the mid fifties. While the Jaguar
XKE is nothing short of awesome, my favorite ride in this movie has got to the
1952 Allard J2X. Oh my... what a car and it even looks faster with the beautiful
Dorothy Malone behind the wheel.
