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▼

The film concerns "Memphis" Raines ([[Nicolas Cage]]), a former master car thief forced to return to his former trade and steal fifty specified cars for crime boss Raymond Vincent Calitri ([[Christopher Eccleston]]), who is threatening to kill Memphis' brother, Kip ([[Giobanni Ribisi]]), because Kip had taken a contract but failed to fulfill it (a stolen Porsche Carrera was chased to Kip's warehouse and the collected cars were impounded).
