The Unrideables 2
Himself
The eagerly awaited follow-up to the hugely popular Unrideables profiling the amazing career of Wayne Rainey. Doohan, Lawson, Mamola, Schwantz and Gardner made their marks on racing but even amongst these giants of the sport Rainey stood proud. Week-in-week-out, the riders engaged in high pressure wheel-to-wheel battles at some of the most iconic race circuits across the globe. Rewards for success were huge but the price to be paid for getting things wrong was severe – Schwantz broke both wrists, Doohan shattered his leg and Wayne Rainey, who tasted success more than most, now has to use a wheelchair following a horrific crash at Misano. This is the story of Rainey's adrenaline fuelled career with input from friends, rivals, managers, journalists and the man himself.
A Um Qualquer Domingo - O Próximo Capítulo
Himself
Mais de quarenta anos depois de Bruce Brown ter realizado “On Any Sunday”, documentário histórico e premiado produzido pelo actor Steve McQueen que se tornou uma obra de culto para os amantes do motociclismo na década de 60 e 70, Dana Brown (“Step Into Liquid,” “Dust To Glory”) presta homenagem à obra do pai através de uma sequela que mostra as mudanças que se produziram no desporto das duas rodas. "O Próximo Capítulo” envolve entrevistas e imagens deslumbrantes deste mundo diversificado captadas em Ultra HD com câmaras topo de gama – incluindo a Phantom High Speed Camera, que permite intensificar o drama através de imagens em câmara superlenta. “Tentamos utilizar o máximo de recursos tecnológicos para trazer poesia e ação,” disse Dana Brown.
The Unrideables
Himself
The 1980s were a high point of factory involvement in Grand Prix motorcycle racing. Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha battled for technological dominance in the high-powered world of 500cc two-stroke racers - and to ride these beasts they employed the very best riders in the world. The likes of Rainey, Schwantz, Lawson and Mamola struggled to tame the raw power and brutal handling of bikes built without constraints and without any of the modern rider aids which make today's MotoGP four-stroke machines seem bland in comparison. The riders might have been paid handsomely for their efforts but, as this film shows, they paid a heavy price for their fame and stardom. With loads of great action shots from the archives and revealing, frank interviews with many of the top riders this incredible documentary looks at the men who had to ride the unrideables.
