June 3, 20197 yr [video=youtube;R56-lJaUdiY] This has enough awesome parts to make a great movie. I'm really looking forward to it, Damon as Carroll Shelby is a great pick in my opinion.
June 4, 20197 yr I am generally not one to see a movie on its first night released but this may be one I do. Carroll Shelby and Lee Iacocca are two people who always fascinated me.
November 16, 20196 yr Author Really enjoyed the movie. Then again I love cars and Fords and have a grandfather and son named Shelby. Trust me, my grandpa isn't the only reason my son was named Shelby! :lol2: Movie is pretty acurate from a timeline status, except they completely skipped one year.

I enjoyed the movie, but was not familiar with the story or individuals other than the movie and what I knew about Iacocca from the news in the 80's. Tell me about the year they skipped and anything else not accurate in the portrayal. Edited December 1, 20196 yr by Jumper_Dad

On the second attempt Ken Miles did get to race, but he lost a gear box early in the race and went out. That was the biggest omission that I am familiar with.

I think that's the name of it.
