Despite much of its automotive hype, the latest James Bond film, Spectre, turned out to be a bit of a dud. And it didnāt help that the Aston Martin DB10 and Jaguar C-X75 chase scene through the darkened streets of Rome turned out to be one of the most forgettable chase scenes ever shot. But at least the stunning Jagā¦
Today was my bossās first day back from vacation in Europe, where he claimed to have found the amount of Smart Roadsters running around quite remarkable. That naturally led me to bring up the oft-forgotten car chase in the 2010 action-comedy, Knight And Day, in which multiple Roadsters chase down Tom Cruise andā¦
Aston Martin has announced production of 25 new continuation DB5s, modeled after the iconic car from the 1964 James Bond movie, Goldfinger. The cars will even be equipped with some of the spyās gadgets, but thereās a catchāsadly, none of them will be road legal.
As Iām sure youāve already figured out, I like silly action flicks. Bonus points if they involve cars. If we can throw an ā80s spin on it, then thatās basically perfection (go see Atomic Blonde, by the way). And this new movie, Cruise, seems like it combines all three.
On Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013, Fast and Furious star Paul Walker died in a fiery Porsche Carrera GT crash with his friend, Roger Rodas, who was driving. It was sudden and heartbreaking, a death that was especially felt in the car community. Five years later, I Am Paul Walker premieres this weekend, a documentary thatā¦
Mission: Impossible Fallout, the sixth movie of the spy franchise which hit theaters last weekend, has been blowing people away with its incredible action. One of the best sequences in the movie is a motorcycle and car chase through the streets of Paris. Hereās how it was pulled off.
Back in March, we reported on a Paul Walker documentary in the works. Itās being directed by Adrian Buitenhuis and called I Am Paul Walker. Comprised of a series of interviews that colorfully paint the actorās life, we now have a small snippet of what to expect.
While researching details and tracking down visuals for my Los Angeles street racing story earlier this month, I stumbled across the treasure trove of The Fast and the Furious production stills on IMDB. Each of them is beautiful and perfect, a true time capsule of early 2000s grunge fashion and I cannot resist sharingā¦
If you are like me and saw the incredible green E28 BMW 5 Series in the Mission: Impossible Fallout trailer and immediately caught the disease of desire for one, I have bad news. The movie comes out this week, itās surprisingly great, and now everyone else is also going to want an E28.
Mission: Impossible Fallout, the sixth movie in the franchise, comes out next week, and itās getting rave reviews so far. Apparently itās really good! Itās a perfect opportunity to reflect upon the second Mission: Impossible movie, which is special for being pretty much the only one in the franchise to be consideredā¦
Back in the 1970s, when a self-driving car meant a brick on the throttle, people raced each other from coast to coast to protest national speed limits and to celebrate American freedom and also because it would be something fun to talk about. In 1981, they got a bunch of stars and the guy that started it all to make aā¦
Maybe Sicario is not a car movie, but it is a movie with one of the most dramatically tense first acts that slowly builds up to a convoy sequence through Juarez, Mexico that you will never forget, in one of the best movies of the decade.
The Aston Martin DB5, famed for its role as the car of choice for James Bond, and its handsome and elegant design, does not translate well in LEGO it turns out.
Last night, I finally saw Incredibles 2 at the local drive-in theater. While this already provides the tenuous car connection necessary for me to write about it on Jalopnik, it turns out Pixarās latest creation is filled with dope vehicles that deserve recognition.
I totally understand why they made a Need For Speed movie, I just will never understand why they didnāt bother to make a good Need For Speed movie. This movie so openly rips off the Fast And The Furious franchise I wouldnāt be surprised to learn the script started as a parody.
Weāre coming up on the 30th anniversary of Robert Zemeckisās cartoon crossover classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Thereās a lot to say about that movie, but as weāre on the cusp of the next big transportation shift towards electric cars, it feels especially relevant how that movie that touched on the conspiracyā¦
Imagine a reality where the government is totally corrupt, the city of Detroit is desperately trying to get back on its feet, police forces have become overly militarized with weekly reports of unjustified authoritative violence, and the overwhelmingly negative news coverage is only cut by condescending ads forā¦
Itās both a wonder and a shame that a movie like Dude, Whereās My Car could get made, and if nothing else, it shows how far society has come in the last 18 years. Not much about it has aged well, especially not the rampant homophobia, misogyny and racism, and thatās all after the 2000 movie scored a mere 18 percent on ā¦
Twenty years ago today, on May 20, 1998, a new Godzilla movie graced our screens over Memorial Day Weekend. On paper, Godzilla was just another blockbuster monster movie. Yet, in reality, it was clearly a critique on governmental incompetence. And the true hero of the film was the 1992 Chevrolet Caprice taxicab thatā¦
Graduation season is upon us. Across the nation, countless hungover students are sitting through long and drawn-out speeches that stress the importance of working hard, integrity... blah blah blah. And dotted throughout the sea of monochromatic graduation caps and gowns, bright spots of color catch the light likeā¦
