5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, the DVD is NTSC (Region 0) and widescreen too! December 24, 2003

I just picked up the DVD through the rendezvousdvd.com website, and can confirm it plays just fine on United States NTSC DVD players. The DVD cost me about 25 United States dollars, including shipping from Great Britain, and arrived about a week after I ordered it. The picture quality is really only about VHS level. But considering it was filmed very early in the morning (note all the garbage trucks!) and the camera was car-mounted, I'm not sure the original film was exactly reference quality. The DVD is widescreen and in color, but it is not anamorphic. The sound is great - very crisp and clean. If, after watching this movie, you don't want to hop in a sports car and take off, there's something wrong with you! On a dollars per minute basis, this may be one of the most expensive DVDs available, but it's worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind-boggling. Gobsmacking. Unbelievable May 24, 2000

Format:VHS Tape

I've not seen the video, but nearly 30 years ago I saw the film on 35mm, and it was so intense, that the memory of it has never left me. It's like watching Leo Kottke in full flight on his 12-string; you see it, you hear it, but nonetheless your mind refuses to accept that it's possible.

Buy it.

Buy it now.

And while you wait for it to arrive, practice holding your breath for 9 minutes, as you'll need that ability.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Pucker factor November 28, 1999

By Chuck Biscuits

Format:VHS Tape

Without a doubt the most intense 9 minutes you will ever experience! Witness what you always wish you could do-driving full-bore through early-morning streets heedless of personal safety (and the safety of those around you!), ignoring traffic laws and the laws of physics, on your way to meet a beautiful woman in your own Ferrari!
