Days of Thunder (1990) - Cruise-In: Part I
This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt are firing up the engines and diving into Days of Thunder (1990), the slick, high-speed NASCAR drama that brought Top Gun-style adrenaline to the racetrack. Directed by Tony Scott and produced by the powerhouse duo of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, the film stars Tom Cruise as Cole Trickle, a fearless but raw driver trying to prove himself on the NASCAR circuit. Backed by veteran crew chief Harry Hogge (Robert Duvall) and team owner Tim Daland (Randy Quaid), Cole navigates the fierce world of stock car racing, intense rivalries, and a life-changing crash that forces him to confront his own limitations. Nicole Kidman also makes her debut as Dr. Claire Lewicki, a neurosurgeon who becomes both Cole’s caretaker and love interest.
In their breakdown of the film, the guys rev up the nostalgia by exploring the movie’s iconic race scenes, killer Hans Zimmer score, and the romance that sparked between Cruise and Kidman’s characters. With plenty of behind-the-scenes trivia, quotable lines ("Rubbin’, son, is racin’"), and some good old-fashioned '90s movie magic, Dave, Rob, and Kurt put the pedal to the metal in revisiting this cult favorite. Buckle up—this episode is racing straight into your ears!
