I didn't realize it was on Netflix when I made my above post with the link. You saved me $2.99.

Glad to help! I didn't realize we were taking about the same documentary when I posted my link. :lol:

I started watching it and it's very interesting. Most all of it was before my time so the history lesson is very cool.

It gives you an appreciation for just how far things have come.

And will I need yet another swear jar? I already have two (one of them overflowing).

How do you not have a row of 5 or 6 swear jars for movie firearms inaccuracies?

It's rated PG-13. I'm sure there were some swear words. But, as a Navy vet, I find the words of my people comforting. :mrgreen:

Yes there are swear words.

Car crashes.

Burn outs.

Theft.

Lying.

Corporate intrigue.

Insensitive discriptions of Italians.

Most likely insensitive discriptions of Americans in Italian.

Saw this today with my 27 yo daughter. OUTSTANDING movie, best I've seen this year, and I don't go much to movies.

VERY LITTLE language. Lots of great racing scenes. Some drama and license taken apparently with some of the story, but excellent none the less.

Loved it even though Matt Damon and Christine Bale are liberal Hollywood elitists. I ignored that. And ZERO "Wokeness". Wife was devoted and portrayed by an attractive non-feminist actress.

Worth it.
