Movie Reviews of Dust to Glory
Movie Review: What's my time?
Summary: 5 Stars
That Bruce Brown's son Dana, lensed this film comes as no surprise."Dust To Glory" places us squarely inside the Baja 1000. Dana Brown uses his father's film format, that worked well with films such as "On Any Sunday" and "The Endless Summer". In a sense, "Dust To Glory" is an extension of "On Any Sunday".
It shows the personal battles of each team, racing against the clock to win. There are a number of crashes, breakdowns, and much humor, to keep you occupied. Each of the "Major" teams are showcased, and you are kept abreast of all changes that take place during the race. The number of "mechanical oddities" abound in this film, and Class 11, or the VW Bug class, is given some time. you gotta hand it to these VW Bug drivers, THEY'RE CRAZY!!
This race was almost consigned to oblivion back in the 80's, because there were a rash of deaths associated with crashes that were purposely caused by Mexican locals, for their trucks and buggies, so they could be sold. Apparently, this practice has been stopped, because the Baja 1000 brings in much-needed American dollars into the Mexican economy.
There are some well-known racers showcased, as well. Mario Andretti, Robby Gordon, Johnny Campbell and a returning J.N. Roberts (he was in the original "On Any Sunday").
"Dust To Glory" is an entertaining look at a classic American race that has gone on, despite it's "infamous" reputation, to attract racers from all disciplines. Good job, Dana, your Father would be proud!
