Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 & 2000)



Action films directed by H. B. Halicki '74 and Dominic Sena '00, starring Nicolas Cage '00 and Angelina Jolie '00.
A group of car thieves must steal 50 specific cars in a short amount of time to satisfy a crime boss.
The '74 version had style, it had grace and it destroyed 93 cars in 34 minutes. The '00 version was over-sensationalized and had a horrible soundtrack. The '74 version had guys that looked like undercover detectives stealing the cars. The '00 version had street thugs, a woman and an old man stealing the cars. In defense of the '00 version, it had Vinnie Jones from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Big Chris). In the '74 version, the plot was simple and straightforward. In the '00 version, they added tons of unnecessary shit to the plot. Hmmm... Which one was better? '74 was just adequate, but '00 was bad.
