Otherwise, it was obvious that the writer knew absolutely nothing about motor racing. The ONLY technical aspect of racing that they got right was the fact that the cars, at least SOME of the time, had four wheels. It is an insulting slap in the face to every race fan who ever lived and I would suggest that viewers immediately initiate a class action lawsuit to recover the money they wasted on this picture and compensation for the time spent watching it. This movie was so bad that the producers owe us another movie just to bring the rating up to zero. Some of these scenes include the ending of the film and a scene where Brandenburg denies a female fan a kiss. Aside from this scene, other scenes involving Beau Brandenburg were rewritten during filming to make his character more likable and misunderstood. Digital Effects company Pixel Magic digitally erased Tanto out of the scene. Parts of the original scene featuring Joe Tanto, were for the most part not reshot. Stallone wrote that the Brandenburg character turns his car around and helps save Memo from drowning. The scene was partly reshot in a similar location in California, instead of returning to Germany where the original scene was filmed. He instead put his character in the pits the entire time. So Stallone rewrote the scene taking his character Joe Tanto out of it completely. But director Renny Harlin thought that it made the Beau Brandenburg character look totally heartless. Beau Brandenburg (Schweiger) was not involved in this scene at all originally. In the original version of the film when Memo Heguy's (de la Fuente) car wrecks and is thrown upside down in the river, Joe Tanto (Stallone) jumped into the river with Jimmy Bly (Pardue) to save him.
