One of two worthy purchases from the trilogy

Now that I've finally seen all three of Halicki's films I have concluded that the only ones worth purchasing to the average Halicki fan (as opposed to a hardcore fan) are Gone in 60 Seconds and Deadline Auto Theft and I'll tell you why. We all have to agree that pacing a chase film wasn't Halicki's top talent as all of his films can drag and move slowly even during the car chases, especially to new young fans like myself who have been raised under a higher standard for action films. This problem is only horribly bad in The Junkman which I view as just an overall boring movie (with the tiny exception of the Vette hitting the old woman) so skip that one. With the other two, Deadline is like a Gone remix with a lot of boring parts taken out and new scenes for some extra story added in. I guess you could say it was bored out. Hehehee. So in conclusion, Deadline is the one you watch and Gone is the one you keep as a collectors item.

This was an unfinished film, due to the fact H B Halicki dies while filming it.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, it is to my understanding that H B Halicki, the writer, star and director of Gone in sixty seconds 2, died during of all things a boat stunt while making this movie. It would be correct to reason; poor editing and use of footage from his other movies was due to the fact the writer, star and director(not to mention the $producer$) was DEAD! that could explain it.

Three = One?

I started watching this movie, Deadline Auto Theft, and about 10 minutes into the movie I realized, that it seemed rather familiar. Then it hit me, it was the same as the first movie, just with a different introduction. The only difference between the Third and First movies is the opening car chase and then minor scenes within the movie to tie in that opening scene with the rest of the movie. At first I though that I just got a faulty DVD or something and that there was a mistake, but then I noticed that in the extra part of the the DVD there was the trailers to all three movies. I watched the first and third trailers, and those were basically the exact same thing. Again, they put in the one different car chase, and changed the name, but other than that, it was the same trailer too. All in all, it was still a good movie, because so is the first one, but I wish there was actually a different story line, or something different about it.
