Streets of Legend is an exhilarating, character-driven exploration of love and betrayal set against the illegal and multiethnic car-racing subculture of Southern California. Director Joey Curtis paints a classical and yet urgently contemporary urban myth of youth rivalry, love and war.

Inner city player Chato, a first generation Guatemalan-American growing up in the hood of Crenshaw, Los Angeles, realizes the cost of infidelity when he opens the door for two star-crossed lovers. Chato's childhood sweetheart, Noza, possessing the grace and innocence of a Mexican-born princess, falls in love with Quattro, a white street racer from the desert, who races down the same two-lane blacktop as his father before him. Their relationship sets the stage for a bitter vendetta in which all parties compete for the highest stakes.

Driving this narrative with fantastic imagery, Curtis elevates ordinary teenage experiences of friendship and romance to the stuff of folklore. And though the sounds are louder and the cars are faster, older audiences will recognize that "Streets of Legend" may well be the grandchild of "American Graffiti."

  • Yo Albert.! its Robert.! From County.! 5800.! hit me up.!

  • @Londil there are no half naked chicks in BORN TO RACE. 2 Flag girls in two different scenes who aren't HALF naked. BTR will stand as one of the more authentic street racing movies, but it's also a large scale Hollywood movie. Mainstream in it's approach. Not fringe. But it shows nothing but love and respect to car nuts everywhere, and people who build and race them because it's their passion.

  • is this movie any good?? my friends said it was a decent movie and i wanna know if its any goodbefor i buy it?? and if anyone know if i can see it online for free thatd be cool.. thanks!

  • @strangecargo I saw some of the filming and it isn't correct at all, there aren't half naked chicks at the races, even though we wish there were. The one real documentary you can find on street racing is Vehicular Lunatics by IMVFilms, that movie will give you a 100% true insight into the street racing culture and what actually goes down.

  • All I can say is BORN TO RACE kicks Streets of Legends ass! A teen action movie done on a bigger scale that puts it down CORRECT! Look up BORN TO RACE MOVIE on youtube.

  • does anyone know the names of the songs for this movie???

    xoxo <3
