Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) review

Anton van Beek  |  Aug 17, 2013

This cult classic motoring movie shows Nic Cage & Co. how it should be done

Shot on a shoestring by writer/director/star/producer H.B. 'Toby' Halicki, this 1974 flick may lack the budget of the blockbuster 2000 remake, but still features one of the biggest and most fondly-remembered car chases ever filmed. Given the film's lo-fi roots, it's hardly surprising that the AVC 1.85:1 encode looks fairly worn and grainy, but it is an accurate representation of the source material. Audio comes in both LPCM 2.0 and DTS-HD MA 2.0 flavours. Sadly, the chat-track from the US release isn't included, but you do get a 45-minute tribute to Halicki and five interviews.

Gone in 60 Seconds, Kaleidescope Home Entertainment, Region B BD, £18 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 3/5
