Faster - Ultimate Collector's 4-Disc Set (Faster / The Doctor, the Tornado and the Kentucky Kid)

This movie was just an awesome film. I don't think you have to be a motorcycle fan to appreciate it. It's a dramatic sports film in general. It does help if you ride though. You can fully appreciate Gary McCoy's riding style. It amazed me when I saw how he will keep the tires spinning in the turns, loose on the asphalt. I couldn't begin to imagine doing something like that. It's that kind of thing that will keep you in awe of the riders. To think of how many truly great riders there are in the Superbike series and here in the states in AMA but the Moto GP riders are the absolute best. And then there is the Doctor, Valentino Rossi. Five time champion and apparently all around great guy. If you watch the extras disc there's a funny scene where Valentino is driving a car while being interviewed. He's trying to make his way onto the track from the mobile home parking area and can't find his way. The world champ is stopping to ask another team's crew for directions to the track.

These guys are top competitors and this makes for a lot of human drama. I love the rivalry between Rossi and Biaggi. The film does a good job of building it up and accentuating the drama. I especially liked the unseen fight between the (seemingly) eternally happy Rossi and the playboy Biaggi. It segues nicely into the Kevin Schwantz/Wayne Rainey rivalry.

I loved seeing all of these legends without their helmets on and being interviewed on camera. It's a little difficult here in the states to catch any motorcycle action on t.v. so it's a real treat to see Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey, Nicky Hayden, the late Barry Sheene and the rest somewhere other than a magazine article.

This was an exciting hold-your-breath film with just one minor problem, not enough race footage. That is my only complaint. If you like racing and watching someone who is skilled doing what they do best you will love this film.

with everyone who claims this documentary has all the action of a fictional hollywood movie. Yes, the bikes are awesome, yes the speed is captured well, and yes the drama between Rossi and Biaggi is entertaining, but it didnt knock me over as many other reviewers claimed it should.

I'm not downing the idea, I just think the seasons they covered didnt have a lot to work with as far as content. They made the most of it, no doubt, and spun it as dramatically as they could, but it really is a three star DVD, IMHO.

It gets four however for the sound of those umteen-thousand RPM redlining engines...that's serious music.

This two disk dvd set follows the 01-02 and 02-03 MotoGP seasons. It profiles riders like Rossi, Capirossi, Biaggi, Edwards, Hayden, etc. With discussion of bike differences from stock/dealer showroom floors, this video will make a fan out of any motorcyclist! The only down side is that it is almost impossible to see these films and not become a Valentino Rossi fan!
It is a little choppy as it is a docudrama, but if you can't ride the track, you can atleast go faster, faster, Faster!

Ive only been riding sport bikes for 5 months now but I have already caught the bug. I saw ads for this movie at my local dealerships and heard alot about it thru magazines. I decided to buy it and after the first 5 minutes I was hooked. This is an excellent movie for anyone that is interested in motorcycle racing be it on an amature or professional level. It opens your eyes to how competetive and serious these individuals take their job (and passion). The bonus DVD has the most exciting footage. It follows MOTO GP into 2003 with Colin Edwards and Nicky Hayden both riders from the US. Definately pick this one up, you wont be dissapointed.

A good representation of the World GP series. Good camera work and nice footage of the different tracks.
