Default Speed Kills- its painful to watch

I'm finally watching Speed Kills right now. It almost painful to watch, but keeps me intrigued. From the very beginning of where the guy tell Aronow that that the skiff has twin Chevy 327 but it only has one prop. to watching the actual footage of Aronow in the race then they cut to a different black boat that has steps and a back seat, its painful to watch. The original episodes of Miami Vice were better than this movie.

Yep, it was pretty bad. I think the special effects were copied from the 10 Commandments that was filmed in the 60's.

It was painful. The effects were terrible and just shows how desperate Travolta has become. That being said its a worth watch for people that don’t know the story.

but it doesnt even tell the story. It seems like its just a movie with a few flashy women and talk about his mob connections. The part I found funny was the fake bullet holes on the side of the boat, obviously done with the bullet hole stickers.
