Cobra and Racing Movies

[Argess]

I admit, Gumball Rally is my favourite movie. Saw it at the theatre when I was about 16 or so. Back in my subconcious, I must have remembered that Cobra and when I picked up my first Kit Car Magazine about 1982, I knew one day I would have to own one.

Way back on the Cobra list of movies is Indianna Jones and the Temple of Doom......little kid driving it with blocks strapped to his feet...sorta funny, but that movie came out before I owned a Cobra and I fear I was a tad envious of that little kid.

I've never seen the Elvis movie with a Cobra in it. Nor have I ever heard Bill Cosby's story of his Cobra ; "200 mph". I think the latter would be my preference.....

My second favourite racing movie, doesn't involve Cobra's, but it is James Garner in "Grand Prix". That old Grand Prix open wheel stuff was real racing.

A real gem of a racing movie is "the Big Wheel" with Mickey Roonie. A bit "hammy", but the scenes of old race cars and real racing footage is incredible.

"Lemans" with Steve McQueen is goood, but not much story line.

The chase scene in "Bullit" is far overated in my opinion.

Anyway, does anybody know of any other good movies featuring Cobras? I'd really like to get some vintage racing footage, but havn't found any so far.
