DVD Reviews of Deadline Auto Theft (1983) / Gone in 60 Seconds: 2 (1988) [Double Feature]
DVD Review: Running in Circles
Summary: 1 Stars
What a rip-off! Deadline Auto Theft is actually the original Gone in 60 Seconds with some very minor editing. It is well established that Gone in 60 Seconds 2 is unfinished and this shows the stunt sequences that would have been in that film. That amounts to about 33 minutes of car chases with no storyline to speak of. If you've seen the original Gone in 60 Seconds, acquiring this film will be an extraordinary waste of time unless for some reason you insist on seeing the complete Halicki body of work, in which case, the special features are quite nice. Everyone else should get this, or the original Gone in 60 Seconds, not both.DVD Review: One of two worthy purchases from the trilogy
Summary: 4 Stars
Now that I've finally seen all three of Halicki's films I have concluded that the only ones worth purchasing to the average Halicki fan (as opposed to a hardcore fan) are Gone in 60 Seconds and Deadline Auto Theft and I'll tell you why. We all have to agree that pacing a chase film wasn't Halicki's top talent as all of his films can drag and move slowly even during the car chases, especially to new young fans like myself who have been raised under a higher standard for action films. This problem is only horribly bad in The Junkman which I view as just an overall boring movie (with the tiny exception of the Vette hitting the old woman) so skip that one. With the other two, Deadline is like a Gone remix with a lot of boring parts taken out and new scenes for some extra story added in. I guess you could say it was bored out. Hehehee. So in conclusion, Deadline is the one you watch and Gone is the one you keep as a collectors item. DVD Review: This was an unfinished film, due to the fact H B Halicki dies while filming it.
Summary: 3 Stars
Someone correct me if I am wrong, it is to my understanding that H B Halicki, the writer, star and director of Gone in sixty seconds 2, died during of all things a boat stunt while making this movie. It would be correct to reason; poor editing and use of footage from his other movies was due to the fact the writer, star and director(not to mention the $producer$) was DEAD! that could explain it.
DVD Review: Buy it to say you have them all, but don't take it out of the shrink wrap!
Summary: 2 Stars
I own all of H.B. Halicki's films, mainly because I thought they were interesting projects, and the camera work was decent, although the production qualities left much to be desired, yet not bad considering the lower budget. I have always told people to see the original "Gone in 60 Seconds," in spite of the fact it isn't as glamourous (what would you rather have - a Shelby GT 500 or a '73 Mustang) as the Nicholas Cage remake. I think it is a better film. "The Junkman" was a film that really allowed us to see how Toby could do with more money. I think he did quite well, and thought it was neat that he incorporated the chase scene from "Deadline Auto Theft," and helped the actor plot along without wasting time on the next project. I really had my hopes up for the third film. Then I thought it was really swell that there was extra footage. I sat down to watch it, with the DTS surround track of course. At first, we all have to suffer through Denise Halicki's poorly rehearsed introduction where we watch her stumble over cue cards she never learned. Finally the movie starts. I thought it was pretty neat for the first ten minutes. I was looking forward to more. Then, suddenly we show up at Eugene's wedding. I then thought "He's getting married again." It seemed different because is was better edited than the original scene, but the same footage, with a new dialogue scene. Then the 40 cars are mentioned and I said, "Oh crap." Then it goes right into the original film. While that may not have been terrible, nothing fits. There are great differences in characters appearance. They look older in the dialogue, and the quality of the film hasn't deteriorated like the original Gone in 60 Seconds reels.
[...] Barely any of the first scene was shown in "The Junkman." This could not possibly be an attempt to show viewers the best of both films. THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FILMS. The characters have different names. I also have never heard of a millionaire Hollywood actor/Insurance investigator. In other words, that could not possibly be his intent.
After watching the film, I think he had a great thing planned, but money was a problem. As his widow says in the intro to the action sequences of the incredibly tacky "Gone in 60 Seconds 2," Toby always did the action sequences first and then the dialogue. He probably realized there was no way that he could make his great feature film, so he said, "lets redo the dialogue from the original, and stick it in replacing the original dialogue." The film was marketed as a legitimate film, not just a collection of the best from the first two films. Watch the trailer. It is something new according to him.
About the footage from "Gone in 60 Seconds 2"
I am very happy this film was not actually finished. It is not inventive and the action sequences aren't very original. About the Slicer, I HATE THAT THING! What made the first film so great was pure driving. That is how he got out of the situation. He didn't have some stupid machine that overturned cars. If the film was finished, I would have still seen it. It just seems to me that Mr. Halicki was trying to milk the original film for all he could. He didn't do to badly with the Junkman, but he should have stopped there.
I would buy this DVD, but don't pay retail. It isn't worth it. I would venture to say that if you really wanted to see it, you could make "Deadline Auto Theft" yourself by playing the first 10 minutes after the opening credits of "The Junkman" and the last 80 or so minutes of "Gone in 60 Seconds" And, you wouldn't have to listen to Denise Halicki.
DVD Review: Three = One?
Summary: 3 Stars
I started watching this movie, Deadline Auto Theft, and about 10 minutes into the movie I realized, that it seemed rather familiar. Then it hit me, it was the same as the first movie, just with a different introduction. The only difference between the Third and First movies is the opening car chase and then minor scenes within the movie to tie in that opening scene with the rest of the movie. At first I though that I just got a faulty DVD or something and that there was a mistake, but then I noticed that in the extra part of the the DVD there was the trailers to all three movies. I watched the first and third trailers, and those were basically the exact same thing. Again, they put in the one different car chase, and changed the name, but other than that, it was the same trailer too. All in all, it was still a good movie, because so is the first one, but I wish there was actually a different story line, or something different about it.
