Roadracers – The Making of a Degenerate Hot Rod Flick

This is a quasi sequel to Robert’s Rebel Without a Crew book, centering around the making of Roadracers, which to date is only available on DVD in Australia. There have been speculations as to the DVD release of this movie, but so far nothing has happened. Unfortunately this book is very rare, and that is also why we cannot post a review of it at the moment. If you own this book or you have read it, please send your comments.

Grindhouse

When Grindhouse hit theaters in April 2007, the buzz around the geek world was pretty loud. There was a lot of advertisement hailing it as the ultimate throwback to 70s drive-in flicks and how it was a back to back fun ride by two maverick directors. It failed at the box office, maybe because there wasn’t enough marketing that made the subject accessible to non-geeks. Anyhow, this book goes into the making of the movie, the different aspects from the cars to the special effects. It has interviews, the list of all the tracks on the jukebox and much much more. The ultimate guide book to the movie.
