And then there's the scene at the end of the movie, where the big tough car thief that doesn't talk throughout the film, Sphinx, speaks in a noble British accent and then Cage says "Hey, man. I thought you were from Long Beach."

Why Rodknock---are you having a 'Patrick' moment??
Four posts on this juvenile tripe???
I thought you were a solid cool citizen after a 540 mid-year Vette.
It's apparent you haven't seen one of these restomod Shelby cash-grabbers up close.
I know a guy with too much dough, a vast but trashy car collection and poor taste who bought one at premium, brand new.
The Shelby-blocked motor came complete with leaks and an A/F ratio lower than the owners IQ. The charcoal metallic was probably applied in Chernobyl but everywhere you looked, there were Shelby logos and plaques.
It took a very talented Cobra assembler to sort the motor to make it driveable...
Nobody was impressed.

"Juvenile tripe" is my middle name, just ask the people who know me.

I wouldn't condemn every Eleanor clone ever made, just because of one bad apple. I just wanted to defend an actually well-built clone, not the junk that is out there, even though you and others would accuse me of poor taste.

And I wouldn't condemn the film either. Certainly not an Oscar-winning Forrest Gump type effort, but it's entertaining.

However, comparing me to Patrick is just plain insulting.

Consider it an 'Intervention'. Done out of love.

I'd rather have an original KR.
