art deco sketch art of Michael Kaluta, from the artwork book of the movie "Metropolis", the incredible 1927 silent film

I didn't want to watch the silent film, not once I learned that a anime version with English vocals was made. It's a magnificent epic story that varies a lot from the original, and I recommend it highly. The original was written about on Wikipedia, and seems to be a very difficult story to follow, and that must be why it was editted differently by anyone who could, resulting in every known copy that existed from the 1930's to the 1990's having about 30 minutes cut from it to make the story cohesive. Watch the anime version for enjoyment, or the original if you're a film afficianado. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293416/

Speed limit sign for a windscreen... pretty good idea for a scrap bike

from the movie The Book of Eli

The Bi-Valve lnterior Combustion Twice-Exhausted Bi-Axle Nitro-Cycle, from the steampunk focused movie, Wild Wild West

If you are also a Kevin Kline, Selma Hayek, and Will Smith fan... or love steam and diesel punk, you'll love this 1999 movie.

Coolest looking airplane shark's grin I've ever seen, the Adios Airlines from the Coburn movie "High Risk", movie sucks though

the new Fast and Furious movie preview

For an easy going enjoyable older movie, DC Cab. Its rated R, so send the kids to the other room, but Mr T, Gary Busey, Max Gail, and Bill Maher star

Sounds like a Richard Pryor swearfest, but it's got Checker cabs throughout, car chases, good guys becoming a team and facing the bad guys, solving a kidnapping, and overcoming adversity.

Tribute recreation of the "California Kid" was at SEMA

Tribute built to look like the 1934 Ford by Pete Chapouris of Pete and Jake fame...

http://66.154.44.164/forum/showthread.php?t=529856&page=3 has the details of how and why is obvious

the car was made famous in 1973 when Martin Sheen (Charlie Sheen's dad) drove the cops into submission in a movie named "California Kid" (good movie, but slow)
The story takes place in 1958, and involves a town, Clarksburg, California, with a famous speed trap, in which a disturbed Sheriff Roy Childress (Vic Morrow), whose wife and daughter were killed by a speeder, turns bad, with a habit of deliberately punishing speeders by pushing their cars off the mountain highway in his 1957 Plymouth Belvedere.

Challenging the sheriff, who tries to run him off the road. McCord is ready, knowing his car's limits for the curve, and the sherriff is a victim of his own obsession, going too fast to make the deadly turn. He drives off the cliff, while McCord manages to stop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_California_Kid

Looks like lightning rods on a Lenco trans with one stick getting a 1970 style pistol grip shifter.

New movie with muscle cars, action throughout, and Dwayne Johnson playing a tough guy for a change, think 80's action flick

After 10 years in prison, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) has a singular focus -­- to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his imprisonment. Now a free man with a deadly to do list in hand, he’s finally on his mission, but with two men on his trail, a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) just days from retirement and a young egocentric hitman with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent. The hunter is also the hunted. It’s a do or die race to the list’s finish as the mystery surrounding his brother’s murder deepens, and new details emerge along the way hinting that Driver’s list may be incomplete.

In theaters November 24th

Click through the link, each of the images is a "gif " and moves just a little bit, but in the right way at the right time to capture a cool moment in a movie

Rampage Jackson (plays BA Baracus in the new A Team movie) unveiled his personal A Team van at SEMA, had the whole crew that built it there to thank

having a celeb, especially a movie star, have a press conference unveiling really drew a big crowd

He hung around for group photos with the Kelderman Air Ride crew, they built it for him http://www.youtube.com/keldermantv
