DVD Review

To add to my motorcycle DVD collection I've picked up 'The Doctor, The Tornado and The Kentucky Kid' a follow up to the movie FASTER by Mark Neale, et al. I've written just a little synopsis as I don't have a background as a film critic (unless I've got a couple Guinness in me).

Although it's not as inspiring as FASTER, The Doctor, The Tornado and The Kentucky Kid is a great little movie to watch. (It appears that the Doctor himself was not directly interviewed for the movie and most of his dialogue is from post race interviews but that will have to make due.) The best part of the film is the blow-by-blow commentary provided by Edwards, Hayden and Hopkins as the 2005 US MotoGP is broken down into several distinct viewpoints. It's a shame every race couldn't be given this treatment, but that is what makes it special.

We get to see what this race meant to the Americans (Hopkins included) and how the Europeans reacted to the unique course itself. For someone who was in attendence, this film is especially enjoyable. It's a nice keepsake of the return of Grand Prix motorcycle racing to US soil. It's great to watch Hayden take it to 'em in such dominant fashion as well. I guess I would give it 4 out of 5 wheelies?
