I couldn't find this movie anywhere but here and I love it! I've watched it over and over again and have let others borrow it and they have the same reaction. The photography in this film is amazing with great action shots non stop. If your into off roading or even if your not, this is a must see! After watching it I guarantee you'll be wanting to join the next Baja race that comes around.DVD Review: What's my time?
Summary: 5 Stars
That Bruce Brown's son Dana, lensed this film comes as no surprise."Dust To Glory" places us squarely inside the Baja 1000. Dana Brown uses his father's film format, that worked well with films such as "On Any Sunday" and "The Endless Summer". In a sense, "Dust To Glory" is an extension of "On Any Sunday".
It shows the personal battles of each team, racing against the clock to win. There are a number of crashes, breakdowns, and much humor, to keep you occupied. Each of the "Major" teams are showcased, and you are kept abreast of all changes that take place during the race. The number of "mechanical oddities" abound in this film, and Class 11, or the VW Bug class, is given some time. you gotta hand it to these VW Bug drivers, THEY'RE CRAZY!!
This race was almost consigned to oblivion back in the 80's, because there were a rash of deaths associated with crashes that were purposely caused by Mexican locals, for their trucks and buggies, so they could be sold. Apparently, this practice has been stopped, because the Baja 1000 brings in much-needed American dollars into the Mexican economy.
There are some well-known racers showcased, as well. Mario Andretti, Robby Gordon, Johnny Campbell and a returning J.N. Roberts (he was in the original "On Any Sunday").
"Dust To Glory" is an entertaining look at a classic American race that has gone on, despite it's "infamous" reputation, to attract racers from all disciplines. Good job, Dana, your Father would be proud!
Description of Dust to Glory
Don't be surprised if you feel a dry, tickling sensation in the back of your throat after watching the slam-bang racing documentary Dust to Glory. It's probably from the lingering sand and silt spewed from the knobby wheels of an array of machines that skitter from one end of the Baja Peninsula to the other. Using 90 cameras in a variety of formats, director Dana Brown captures the giddy danger of the race with truly visceral force. In 1967, a few California thrill-seekers had the Eureka spirit to take their homemade race cars for some whooping-up in the wide-open land just a few hours away. Since then, the Baja 1000 has turned into a party-fueled happening that's more akin to Burning Man than the Indy 500. It's billed as the world's longest nonstop race, running point-to-point for 1,000 miles through the Mexican desert from Tijuana to La Paz--pretty much the entire length of Baja.Dana Brown is the son of Bruce Brown, whose 1966 film The Endless Summer sparked a surfing craze, and still holds up as an incomparable ode to the existential surfing lifestyle. Dust to Glory is by no means so profound and uses more of a Warren Miller thrill-marketing style (he of the annual throwaway extreme-skiing films). Cameras swoop down from helicopters, careen through silt, and are put into tracks over which vehicles pass at extreme speeds. In spite of the adrenaline rush, Dust to Glory is ultimately more about what people think about the higher implications of the competition.
From the creators of Step Into Liquid comes this absolutely exhilarating film about the most notorious and dangerous race in the world: the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. Showcasing Mario Andretti, Robby Gordon, Johnny Campbell and J.N. Roberts, and packed with awesome helicopter footage, in-your-face POV shots and stories of raw courage, Dust to Glory follows a wild assortment of motorcycles, dune buggies, ATV quads and tricked-out trucks in a 32-hour dash across 1,000 miles of unforgiving terrain and delivers such pulse-pounding thrills that you feel like you've been there .
