BURNOUT(1979)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics

If you like drag racing(I don't), and are
interested in some historical footage about
the "sport" from years gone by(I'm not) then
this is for you! Not me! The only thing that
keeps this from being a D movie is the fact
that they show old Vegas in this! C-

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

The core idea of "Burnout" - focusing on a
young wannabe who wants to participate and
succeed in the drag race circuit - had a
lot of potential. But the end results fail
in any way you can think of. As I said in
the subject heading of this comment, I
don't think this qualifies as a movie.
That's because there is a TON of padding
coming from the filmmakers filming a
great deal of footage of drag racers
performing in front of a live audience.
That's right - the races we see for the
most part are more or less stock footage!
I wouldn't be surprised if the screenplay
was written after the writer watched all
the stock footage, because the little
staged scenes that there are add up
to so little of the running time that
I'm sure even the principle actors
only worked for a few days. And this
limited footage is not very endearing,
since the central youth character in
the movie comes across as very selfish
and not appreciative of the opportunities
and investments his father gave him.
I'm sure even drag race fans who saw
this in the drive-in circuit felt bored,
frustrated, and ripped off long before
the movie came to an end. - Wizard-8
