Watch Greased Lightning For Free

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Absolutely Fantastic

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I was young when I first saw this movie , but since grown up with it . Everything about this Movie is great from Start to Finish . I recommend watching this movie .Especially if you are racing fan ..I would like to add one thing . One location of the filming was not listed in the credits. From the trailer of the movie , and into 1:42 seconds of the trailer their is a race scene. This was actually filmed in a little town in Byron Georgia at track Called Middle Georgia Speedway. I went to the abandoned track the other day , you can still see the props from were is was filmed. All the Actors worked so well together in this movie .And you could tell Time and patience was essential.

If you're a race fan, you may not have heard of Wendell Scott. He was one of the most under rated race car drivers of all time, and for all of the wrong reasons. It really makes a person wonder how great he might have been if someone looked beyond the color of his skin.This movie captures that struggle Wendell must of felt. This movie also shows what a great actor Richard Pryor really could have been if he was cast in more serious rolls, instead of just comedies. Sure there there was some humor in this movie, but nothing like his later movies. Richard and Clevon Little played well off of each other. Maybe this is why this movie is all but forgotten about because this movie is somewhat out of character for Richard. Sure, it is not completely an accurate account of Wendell's life, but it is one best movies Richard Pryor ever made.So if you see it, don't expect a scream fest. But may I suggest that you see it just to see what a great actor, not comedian Richard Pryor was.

This one has been a favorite of mine ever since I first watched it on cable in the late 70's. Richard Pryor is just perfect as Wendell Scott, the first black stock-car racing champion. The rest of the cast is great as well, all perfect in their roles. This is definitely a perfectly cast film!The film itself is very decent but does have a few problems, most notably that once Wendell starts racing there seems to be too many large gaps in time, as if a lot of footage that has been left on the cutting room floor. But the script does move along well even with that problem.I would think Pryor fans especially would pick this up on DVD if it ever got a proper release, in widescreen, some commentary, and with those obviously deleted scenes left behind. Hopefully this will be on DVD before some Hollywood clown remakes this with tons of computer effects crap and ruins the whole thing.

This movie showed that. Nothing can hold you down. Not even color. Wendell Scott showed what a person can do. When the backs and prejudiced are up against the wall. I'm so proud of him I dont know what to do. I can view this movie over and over again.
