MAXIMUM VELOCITY's script is so shoddily written and so many plot devices unexplained, one has to wonder what in the world it was made for. Seems like perennial bad guy Michael Ironside and the US AIR FORCE have developed a Storm Fury program that can generate devastating hurricanes, and has been designed as a weapon of destruction. However, when a black comet passes through the earth's atmosphere, it causes a superstorm with the potential to devastate the entire east coast. Now Ironside seems to be doing good when Storm Fury is reinstituted to destroy this storm. The script is so wishy washy and unfocused that what little tension or suspense is generated is wasted on the muddled governmental interference. Dale Midkiff (Pet Sematary) is wasted in his good guy role, and the rest of the cast merely does their shtick. A disappointingly dull movie.

The reason I rated this movie as high as I did is because it did have some fine girls; as suggested by the title.

However, I was also expecting to see some hot import cars. Did I see some? Not if you call pointing the camera at the car for 1 second. In most cases, they flashed the car so fast that it wasn't even enough time to hit the pause button on the remote.

And when they did show a nice front view of a car, it was shot through a fishbowl lens or some dumb angle. Or, it was just the front fender, or the hood. What about the whole vehicle?

Oh, they showed close-ups of the rims, the muffler, and the fan belt, but you would think that in a video about import cars, that the focus of the video would be "IMPORT CARS"; not a s**tload of advertisements (although some are expected).

What's sad is that the film editor had the opportunity to make a nice video as evidenced by all the fine cars in the distant background. More cheesy interviews than anything.

Came fast in good shape. I have not had time to watch it yet
