After Fox purchased the rights to seven of my Shelby and Cobra images for the movie, I was really excited to see how they would show up. My next stop will be the cutting room floor at Fox. I did see one image of several cars with Miles in a Spyder. Unfortunately, it looked more like a few whiteish blobs in the background. Another was positioned so it would pick up the maximum amount of reflection. I did see a couple of stills of Shelby’s office that showed five of the images hanging on the wall, but those scenes never made the big screen. I wait for the director’s cut, maybe better luck then.
Matt Damon as Shelby, just how bad a movie can this be. Good Grief Charley Brown, Matt did a very creditable job in his portrayal of Mr. Shelby. Just try and block out all of the missteps of history and it is a fun movie to see. Historically yours, Allen R Kuhn

While mildly (and only mildly) entertaining, given what it is it is about an hour too long. By the end I was annoyed as well as bored, and not because of the technical inaccuracies. Those are forgiveable for the sake of movie making. But to just turn it into a farce which so distorts the real story as to totally mislead the public as to history? BARF!

One commentator points out that under the 250GTO is a Corvette…
