Faster (2003)

Faster (2003)
Member Rating:  
Directed by Mark Neale, Faster revolves around a world as competitive as it is dangerous: championship motorcycle racing. Filmed throughout the 2001 and 2002 seasons, the documentary delves into the 16 races held annually; these competitions culminate in the naming of a single champion. Like most extreme sports documentaries, Faster has more than its share of thrills, spills, crashes, slide-outs, and flips. The footage is supplemented, however, by interviews with racers including Australian veteran Garry McCoy, who had a titanium rod put in his leg only to crash shortly afterwards; the now-paralyzed former racer Wayne Rainey; hotshot American newcomer John Hopkins; and Italian rivals Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi. Managers, mechanics, and doctors also offer insight regarding what makes championship motorcycle tournaments tick, and the borderline obsessive dedication needed to persevere within the sport. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Carmen A.

This is a documentary of the early 2000's motogp championship series and its stars. It's not much different coverage-wise than any saturday sports shows. Nice insight into the machines and the rivalries Rossi/Biaggi, Schwantz/Rainy. It's not an end-all film of roadracing, but enough to satisfy a fix- especially with such a lack of motorcycle roadracing films and coverage.

If you love the MotoGP, this is one of the best films out there. It gives you a behind the scenes look at the action, interviews with some legends like Wayne Rainey, current World Champion Vale and has some of the most incredible action shots I have ever seen. A must see for any motorcycle fan or racing fan in general.
