Days of Thunder movie..........?

May be...

  • yes on the first and second one and no on 3.
  • No he wasn't.. At least not the entire movie..
    One scene was BASED on an anecdote about Tim Richmond..
    The one where he goes berserk, and crashes into the Taxi cab,
    and Nicole Kidman gets angry..
    Tim really did that at Fort Lauderdale International Airport with James
    Johnson (the manager of Hendrick Motor Sports, at the time.. Not to be confused with Jimmie) halfway out of the car, after James delivered his
    new Corvette..
    The rest of the movie was invented, with a couple of stories thrown in
    that involved other drivers..
    Some of the characters, on the other hand, were loosely based on real people..
  • who cares............i dont think u are gonna go around daytona at race speed in reverse,then pit and fix the transmission w/out going a lap down,then hit the wall 100 times,then when the race..............the movie to me was a waste of my time and so far fetched,it was just to the piont of idiocy,

    sorry to offend anyone :)
  • The DVD The Ride Of Their Lives has a whole segment on Tim Richmond.

    I enjoyed that DVD very much.
  • Wasn't Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) supposed to portray Tim Richmond in that movie. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Tim Richmond die of AIDS? Was there anything about this in the movie?
  • yes he was. Tim did die of complications from AIDS. After his death a former girlfriend came forward and said that she was HIV positive and likely infected him.

    >>>>Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick.>>>>>

    >>>>>>The secrecy surrounding the circumstance of his death caused speculation for several days.[18] On August 23, his death was revealed to be caused by AIDS, which he had acquired from an unknown woman.[18] In the press conference, his physician Dr. David Dodson said: "There's no way of knowing who that woman was. Tim was a celebrity with a lot of charisma, a handsome guy. He naturally attracted a lot of women.>>>>>

    The last two paragraphs were from Wikipedia but I do recall reading the name of the woman who claims she is the one who infected Tim...can't find it right now though.
  • i like the part when cole first meet nicole kiddman and put her hand on his d**k
