There were, if you can believe it, two versions of this movie. The original 1970s version was written, directed, and starred a man named H.B. Halicki, who wasn't a professional actor, but was the owner of a junkyard, which is why the original film had so many car crashes - he could supply his own cars, cheap. Since [[Most Tropers Are Young Nerds]] ( and Nearly All Tropers Are Snarky), we'll be focusing on the later version▼
 
''[[Gone in Sixty60 Seconds]]'' is a 2000 action film starring [[Nicolas Cage]], directed by Dominic Sena, and written by Scott Rosenberg.
