This movie & Top Gun had 3 things in common, they were directed by Tony Scott, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer & Don Simpson, & Tom Cruise played the lead characters.
I remember the first time I ever saw this I laughed so hard i kept replaying it over and over, how the big boss guy was so angry and meanwhile these two were goofing off.
As somebody who lived in Daytona Beach this movie makes me feel nostalgic. I was there (before we moved there in 93) in Daytona when they were shooting this in fact we stayed a few motels way from the Hilton (where they had the white car vs taxi scene) and the Sophie Kay's restaurant. but what made this scene funny is in one scene at 1:37 they are racing down Seabreeze away from AIA (where the motels and that restaurant was located at) and later on going over one of the many bridges that crossed Halifax river (which separated the main land from beach side).
I am a cart attendant at a shopping store, and I can honestly say these guys are safer drivers than some of the customers in my parking lot. Notice how they moved out of the semi's way at the last second. Now that simple act of kindness just wouldn't happen at my store.
Days of Thunder came on the TV one day on the CMT Channel. I was really happy to see the movie but then they cut this scene out. That was the last time I watch the CMT Channel lol
And if you close your eyes; you can imagine downtown Auckland, or Christchurch, with a commodore and falcon screaming head to head down queen street or along Brighton beach haha
The Beach was pretty empty for July, not to mention the speed limit on there is 10mph, this scene is totally unrealistic!!! *sarcasm* for those who can't tell!
Did you hear the song being played on the piano? It was Moon River, the same song that was played in the movie Born on the 4th of July during the prom scene.....
"I ain't never liked him and probably never will," Dale Earnhardt said about Bodine after the 1987 Winston. Earnhardt, Bodine, and Bill Elliott were placed on probation after the All-Star Race. Just four days after Earnhardt made those comments, Bodine wrecked him in the Busch race at Charlotte. He was given a $15,000 fine later overturned upon appeal. After another flare-up at Charlotte in 1988, NASCAR called both drivers and car owners down to Daytona Beach to set things straight over dinner. An event directly emulated in "Days of Thunder."
I rewrote this scene for a fanfic! The Super Group F A1150 Racers. When Dr. Nick Patrick has an argument with Ivo Traubergs during Trophee Andros races they cause an accident that almost kills Frédéric Romeyer and are heavily reprimanded. Before meeting with promoters Gervoson and Mamers the quarreling racers gave the "common car" to the fiancee of Dr. Nick, resolving their issue racing on ice road with... Autocross ZAZ TAVRIAS! Sliding, crashing, just like days of thunder... With a note of Ronin (De Niro) car chases... When they arrive to "Maitre de la Tartiflette" the ZAZ are almost totaled... Max Mamers: Pourquoi ce retard? Dr. Nick Patrick: La voiture avait un petit probleme avec le radiateur... N'est-ce pas, Mr. Traubergs? Ivo Traubergs: Da, da. A bit of overheating...
One thing I didn't understand, Big John told Tim " if you cant control your race drivers any better than this..." Rowdy wasn't Tims' race car driver, just Cole. Now later in the movie when Cole and Russ Wheeler were going at it, than that would have made sense.
Thing is Tim was prolly the one taking most the hit. Usually that's the way it is. One is always further up sh*ts Creek than anyone else, both parties included.
Realistically, you can't race on the beach. It's all broken up with no-traffic zones and the parts that do allow cars are jammed up with vehicle and foot traffic. I remember back in the day as a kid Daytona was like Mecca. As an adult it just seems a tedious tourist trap, made for drunk teenagers and over-the-hill bikers. If you want peace, beautiful beaches and good food go to the Gulf coast around Destin in the north and the Clearwater-St. Petersburg stretch in the south.
probably the best squashing of a beef and the birth of a friendship, ever
I think about this scene every time I rent a car
Now they are Buddy's
Cool!
Nice
Enterprise dislikes this
Absolutely
The way the music goes on/off in this scene as it cuts between them racing and to the restaurant lmao
The song is called Thunderbox
@@TheAdaptiveMaritimer ty! That's what I was coming here to find out.
@@coreysova1614 no problem bro
This movie & Top Gun had 3 things in common, they were directed by Tony Scott, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer & Don Simpson, & Tom Cruise played the lead characters.
And both had pure adrenaline moments
This is how guys bond
Like idiots?
Diego Eaton competition
@@mrwhite21 lighten up
hard work and play hard.
I remember the first time I ever saw this I laughed so hard i kept replaying it over and over, how the big boss guy was so angry and meanwhile these two were goofing off.
Fred Thompson was a senator and also the DA in Law and Order
Facts
That’s a race of fast and furious
With rental cars
Feburary 2021, Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon recreated this scene at the Daytona Road course on their way to the broadcast booth.
Haha, Rowdy's smile at the end. Best part.
That part always makes me giggle inside.
While Rowdy's driving, I bet he was screaming "I'm Marry Poppins, yall!" inside his car (Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 reference)
Best part!
It was awesome that they started to become friends after that.

tlv156 me and friend did this once!
After rain man
I always drive carefully in parking lots Mr safety that's me
I feel so bad for Rick Hendrick having so many Corvettes jammed in one showroom knowing that somebody's going to get tempted to ask to test drive one
So, you work in Chinatown?
I've been to the dealer that supplied the Lumina used in this scene, City Chevrolet in Charlotte. Gotta love those happy coincidences.
Rick Hendrick's dealership
@@vinewood8295 yup..still in business 31 years after the movie was filmed
1:18 RIP Fred Dalton Thomas
I had the soundtrack and played it anytime I rented a car. Such a great movie!
Name of the song?
Days of Thunder came on the TV one day on the CMT Channel. I was really happy to see the movie but then they cut this scene out. That was the last time I watch the CMT Channel lol
Bastards!
those sons of bitches
The song is Thunder Box by Apollo Smile
Wow I’ve always wanted to know the song. Thanks
The old days...
When somebody didn't show up on time, you just.....waited.
Now you get ghosted. 😁
Chevy vs Ford: the eternal struggle
+pontiacGXPfan Surprised a fanboy hasn't taken the bait and broken the silence yet after 3 months. lol
It's only because he didn't say something stupid like "Ford is better."
No rivalry will ever top that one!!!!!
And if you close your eyes; you can imagine downtown Auckland, or Christchurch, with a commodore and falcon screaming head to head down queen street or along Brighton beach haha
betatalk357 true!
This movie had everything, even wheelchair racing!
Now you have to pay the Uber driver extra to do this, it's criminal.
Yondu and Maverick trashing cars together.
How fitting.....Cole vs Rowdy/Ford vs Chevy.
It's a Pontiac not a Chevy....
and also other way around Cole vs Rowdy/ Chevy vs Ford
@@MasterChief-sl9ro It's a Chevy Lumina.
@@MasterChief-sl9ro Looks like a Chevy Lumina to me
The best part is that Rowdy is a Chevy driver running a Ford
Enterprise.... we pick you up!
and then drop you!
On your head
TOPGUNCANADA00 yep they are going to the junk yard rip
TOPGUNCANADA00 this was after rain mann
This is cinema gold , days of thunder is a work of fucking beauty , this race is heavy wild
Classic scene
best part!
Big John invoiced the two after his credit card statement came in a week later.
Is anyone here after watching Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon going at it in street cars at Daytona?
I love it... Special thanks to Movie Days of The Thunder. To all actresses and Actors. My deep Respect.
2:31 the moment when they squashed their rivalry and became friends!
RIP Fred Thompson
Real Razzy good actor
Ah smoking in a restaurant....those were the days
yea glad they're over
@@cs512tr lol
they're both driving actual stock cars, NOT spec cars
This is why Rent-A-Wreck was the most suitable place to rent a car.
I read on IMDB that most of those birds on the beach got run over on the first take. Whoops!
I use this scene to describe the way my car came back the last time my sister borrowed it
well atleast they agreed too disagree,radiator indeed.
It's like the rivalry between Kyle Busch and Joey Logano
They can't stand each other
Too close to call? Yeah.
Love the fact that these fools went out of their way to race on the damn beach before getting to the meeting🤣
Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer
Yup lol
Best racing in the whole movie...
rdfox76 I did that once!
After the wheelchair race
The best scene of the movie, really.
Best scene, besides when he gets pulled over by the lady cop. lol
Yes, the "cop".
The Beach was pretty empty for July, not to mention the speed limit on there is 10mph, this scene is totally unrealistic!!! *sarcasm* for those who can't tell!
And the next thing you know they are best friends enjoying a cookout.
before cellphones...
Before Iphones
Always thought Fred Thompson could have won the NASCAR fan vote when he was running for president.
I joked when I was younger that when he made his first appearance in this movie I was going to say "hey! its the President!"
Two cars died, and two friends were born. Genius.
perfectly said!!!!
Probably Kurt and Jimmie from many instances
Great movie ! They should make a sequel .
Did you hear the song being played on the piano? It was Moon River, the same song that was played in the movie Born on the 4th of July during the prom scene.....
bucket list my top ten along with sugar packet drifting to the finish line =p

my all time fav race movie
I own one of those Chevy Luminas
I'd love to get my hands on one of those Ford Tauruses
Me and the bois playing Forza Horizon 4
Just driving on the beach, smashing up a couple rentals. Yep, pretty believable!
I remember the first Jackass movie where Johnny Knoxville entered a rental car in a demolition derby. I wonder if they got that idea from this scene
Nice..
… I believe it was the radiator.. Wasn’t it Cole??
It's been my life long dream to pull off a rad race like this in Real life. XD
I don't care what anyone says about all the crap movies in the world, THIS is the most original idea in 100 years.
There was a part where the car rental agent asked if they wanted insurance must have been deleted 😳
The slip screen in the direction of the flow pass close and slip threw the screen there is no wind .
" We had car trouble"
What kind of car trouble?
@@MrMitchelljung I believe it was the radiator...wasn't it Mitchell??
Lemme tell ya somethin' Tim...
I've always wanted to do that

Best scene ever (in a movie)
I did this once with a girl I won!
I could have sworn the rental worker asked if they wanted to purchase insurance, and they both said, “yes”.
You mean like in K9???
No, in that scene.
that *Whistle by the Valet "Whheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew..."
How many famous actors should we put in days of thunder? Um...all of them
RIP got the cars
This is what happens when my buddy and I have too many and have to prove whose better behind the wheel.
Classic.
Who the jerk cab driver who was he remember after what happens
This is when we had Movies.
my brother had the Chevy lumina black
if 2 guys did that to a couple rental cars ill bet they're going to wind up owning them
Derek Wall Nah. They took the Damage Waiver! Best ten bucks they ever spent! ;^D
+Grymmorgan now a days do they still have that
derek wall Oh, heck yeah…I take it all the time! And they love selling it, because it almost never comes up to bite them!
They would have to kiss their auto insurance goodbye
what is the song title and artist in this scene?
Maybe the best scene in the movie and it ain’t even on a super speedway.....
If Wile Coyote and The Road Runner Chased Each Other with Cars......
what's the name of song playing???

Realistically, you can't race on the beach. It's all broken up with no-traffic zones and the parts that do allow cars are jammed up with vehicle and foot traffic.
I remember back in the day as a kid Daytona was like Mecca. As an adult it just seems a tedious tourist trap, made for drunk teenagers and over-the-hill bikers.

Myrtle Beach is not much different
It was on from the traffic lights 🚦. Surprisingly they made it and the valet parking guys are like. So what do we do with these cars.
Randy Quaid looking so good, so elegant, what happen to this guy to get so nuts?
Haha he's always played the off character 9n movies love it
To paraphrase Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop 2, he got a lot of money and went nuts. OK, he didn't go nuts until maybe a decade later.
Of course the rental was a Chevy Lumina just like they would race on the track
Drive it like you stole it
