Fast Company (1979)
Strap yourself into a car that flies 240 miles an hour down a quarter mile track.
Starring William Smith, Claudia Jennings, John Saxon
Directed by David Cronenberg
An early departure from director David Cronenberg's canon of visceral horror, 1979's Fast Company profiles one of his personal passions, racecars, in a gritty melodrama that also features exciting racetrack footage. Veteran toughguy William Smith is top-billed as a champion drag racer who clashes with the unscrupulous oil-company executive (John Saxon) who sponsors his team.
