Product Description
Amazon.ca
This loud and fast 1988 effort by director Tony Scott (Beverly Hills Cop 2, Top Gun) is much more style than substance but it does effectively depict the edgy and dangerous world of stock car racing. Tom Cruise plays yet another cocky loner trying to find success and happiness, this time as stock car racer Cole Trickle, a driver with raw talent but no discipline who is desperate for guidance and sponsorship. They both materialize in the visage of world-weary Robert Duvall, who despite his better instincts sees a second chance at victory in the young driver. Featuring supporting roles by Nicole Kidman, as Cruise's physician and love interest, and Randy Quaid, as a bombastic sponsor, and with a screenplay by Robert Towne (Chinatown), Days of Thunder is a slickly packaged entertainment best suited for die-hard Tom Cruise fans and those who want an intense visual experience. --Robert Lane

Nice to be able to find it on blu ray to add to my collection. Been looking for it in stores and couldnt find.

I received the product in good time but when my Dad opened it as his Christmas present and tried to play it, it was region blocked. We then figured out that it is a Region 2 DVD that can only be played in JAPAN. Why this Dvd would be sold on Amazon.ca confuses me... Although the DVD was not expensive it was a total waste of money as my Dad can't watch it.

I loved Tom Cruise & Niclole Kidman in this movie. Romance, Action and some light-hearted funny stuff led by Robert Duvall.

Unrealistic Yet Somewhat Entertaining
First of all, the Amazon.com reviewer must not know anything about racing, as this film has nothing to do with the Indy 500, and neither does NASCAR (except for racing at... Read more

Dull movie
Being a NASCAR fan I found this movie boring. The racing parts were dull and unrealistic. All this movie is is Top Gun in race cars.

All revved up with no place to go
Days of Thunder is an entertaining film boasting a great performance by Robert Duvall and a few exciting, albeit semi-ludicrous, racing scenes. Read more

nice effects on the track...as I left the home theater
Oh please...this story and the performances are truly so distracting from the speed scenes as to make one feel flattened by one of the cars. Read more
