Illegal Racing at the Ace Cafe

Nice short film shot on a rainy day in about 2000 at the Ace Cafe, London, starring Thomas Triton and Jake 'The Captain' Turner and directed by Chuka Umunna. The music is by dull band Starfighter X (seen playing tarot cards).

well who won?

[elbuccanero]

@randalt63 The Captain (blue eyes) won - we wanted to have a major bloody crash at the end where I died (red eyes) but the budget (zero pounds) wouldn't stretch to that!

Nice vid but it was a shame about the other vehicles in shot which gave a reference point for speed. Could easily have been made to look fast but it didn't :(

[elbuccanero]

@ShibariShamster would you care to provide video examples of your easy high speed filming technique? I will be sure to pass them on to the director.

@deaddoc 100% with you on that one....jap bike's lack soul...no character...even when they try to copy euro bike's ...there is still something missing....

[deaddoc]

@pmay222 Belong to two West Coast vintage clubs, lots of Brit bikes. Breakdowns are rare. It's a rumor you're flagging here. Jap bikes have no character, and the model parts cease to exist after five years. They're consumer products, while Brit Bikes, Euros are "forever." Nothing sounds like a Brit bike.
