Fast Company
Life Is Fast At 240 Miles Per Hour!
In between his horror hits RABID and THE BROOD, award-winning director David Cronenberg immersed himself in the gritty world of top-fuel dragsters to make what he considers to be one of the most important movies of his entire career. Genre icons William Smith (RED DAWN, MANIAC COP), John Saxon (ENTER THE DRAGON, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) and drive-in goddess Claudia Jennings (in her final role before her tragic death) star in this surprising story of a corporate-sponsored racing team and the explosive obsessions that speed them through lives of fast cars, fast cash and FAST COMPANY.
Due to a mysterious distribution snafu, FAST COMPANY was barely released in America and has remained virtually unseen anywhere in the world. Blue Underground is now proud to present this action-packed drama newly transferred in high-definition under the personal supervision of cinematographer Mark Irwin (VIDEODROME, THE DEAD ZONE), remastered in room-rattling 6.1 DTS-ES and 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround EX, packed with nitro-burning Extras, plus a Bonus Disc featuring Cronenberg's two fascinating - and equally rare - early features, STEREO and CRIMES OF THE FUTURE.

A Great Racing Movie! - spordelia
Seemingly incongruous for a Cronenberg film, this is a relatively straight good guy/bad guy movie set in the world of drag racing. Turns out that Cronenberg is a big racing fan, including racing himself (although not drag), which makes for an excellent film. He's got a great eye (along with some luck) for capturing both the excitement of racing and the nitty-gritty details of the prep work that goes into racing.
