시놉시스
Thirty years after the end of Group B rallying, film-maker Helmut Deimel has launched his latest film on rallying’s wildest era. For “Riding Balls of Fire”, the Austrian legend behind the hugely popular “Evolution of Rallying” has gathered together the finest archive footage of the 500 bhp Group B supercars in their prime. Watching this film really shows the extreme pace of evolution of the cars and the sport in the three short years from 1983 to 1986.
새카맣게 모인 군중들 위로 아돌프 히틀러가 탄 비행기의 그림자가 드리우는 장면을 시작으로 4일동안의 일정이 시작된다. 비행기에서 내린 히틀러가 호텔로 가는 도중 군중들은 열광적으로 환호한다. 2일째가 되면 본격적으로 전당대회가 시작된다. 루돌프 헤스의 개막사로 문을 연 전당대회에는 파울 요제프 괴벨스, 알프레드 로젠베르크, 한스 프랑크 등 나치 간부의 모습이 보인다. 히틀러는 격정적인 연설을 펼친다. 세번째 날은 히틀러 소년단의 집회 장면으로 시작된다. 히틀러는 소년들을 향해 연설을 하고 소년들은 진심어린 환호를 보낸다. 이날 밤 히틀러는 횃불을 밝혀놓은 가운데 나치당 하위 간부들에게 연설을 한다. 4일째에는 전당대회의 메인 행사가 열린다. 히틀러는 친위대들에 둘러싸인 채 수십만명의 군중 앞에 등장한다. 곧이어 새로운 당의 깃발이 선보이고 히틀러는 마지막 연설을 시작한다. 그는 “충성스러운 독일인은 모두 국가사회주의자가 될 것”이라는 선언을 한다. 수십만이 히틀러에게 경례를 붙이는 가운데 거대한 나치 깃발이 보여진다.

A rare glimpse on the life and career of an otherwise reclusive World Rally Championship driver from Estonia. Often characterized as shy, retiring but headstrong, stubborn and with "a big ego", Ott Tänak puts all of his heart and soul into his dream of being a world champion. Hailing from the small island of Saaremaa, Tänak rallied his way into the WRC elite despite all of the adversity he faced. The documentary also features numerous interviews from relatives, friends and fellow drivers and crew members, along with vignettes from his personal life and rallying career.
Some of the most amazing cars ever built race across Spain and head south into Africa in the 6th Annual Gumball 3000 Rally. This film captures the 2004 race, which featured Ferrari Enzos, Hummers, Caterhams, Aston Martins and other rare autos driven by an eccentric mix of skateboard pros, supermodels, Saudi royals and billionaires. The thrills abound as racers evade the law to be the first to cross the finish line at the Cannes Film Festival.
The ‘Group B’ International Motorsports Category was conceived in the late seventies as a return to the ‘good old days’ when amateur and factory teams alike could run the same production-based cars in either sports car racing or championship rally events. By the early eighties the class had become the ‘Godzilla’ of the rally scene and what resulted were the most awesome cars ever seen on the rally stages of the world - 600 horsepower, 4WD, turbocharged monsters that could cover forest, tarmac or gravel stages faster than anything ever seen before or since. In 1986 the door was slammed shut on the F1 cars of mountain and forest roads. Faster and faster cars combined with wilder and crazier crowds meant that within the confines of rally car competition the group B rocket ships were just “too fast to race”. The legacy of Group B, however, is a whole range of spectacular cars that continue to thrill enthusiasts. Includes awesome action footage and stunning close ups.
A documentary on the life of rally driver Michèle Mouton.
A labour of love, The Evolution of Rallying took Producer Helmut Deimel 120 days to piece together in the edit suite. He combed through over 500 hours of race footage from the early 1950s up to 2001. Taking in the careers of such greats as Jim Clark, Ari Vatanen, Tony Pond, and Pentti Airikkala this excellent documentary tells the story of how a part-time hobby turned into a multi-million dollar competition contested by major works teams. Packed full of great action footage Evolution captures the true essence and atmosphere of one of the most popular forms of motorsport in the world today.
Set during "La Carrera Panamericana '93", the movie follows a trio of rich Middle Eastern people as they interact with racers and businessmen as the race is going on.
