If you're into rodeo, and know the story behind this film, then I need say no more. It's great and worth watching over and over.
I recommend this movie for anybody into bullriding, rodeo, or into a good story about a good ol boy with a big heart that left this earth way before his time.
Hey, the stunts are very well done, but nobody is going to believe Luke Perry is a bull-rider as he is just too weak and puny.The two main actors are just very bad and unbelievable as is the script in a lot of places. Cynthia Geary doesn't look like she could ride a golf cart without falling off,m let alone a quarter horse.The actual best actor in this movie is Steven Baldwin, the character actor,best friend of Lane Frost. The director should have "Cowboy-ed up".At least we see that Lane Frost died doing what he loved.I've lived in a Rodeo town most of my life:the real cowboys are both tough and strong.
But not only is he living the dream, but he's really good at it. Maybe to hard for his dad. One of the friends, Tuff, is played by Stephen Baldwin. 8 Seconds has some great moments in it and some really funny moments also. I went to a Wal-Mart back in Tucson one night for some super glue and was walking to the check out counters when I saw a guy dressed in all black and wearing a black Kangol hat.
Baldwin isn't too bad in this role, but I still think they could've picked a bum off the road and he would've been better. She's thinking it's a joke, and he really thought she'd be ok with it. And you really can't help but smile at the end while they show real pictures and clips of Lane. Also he has 2 really good friends who travel with him and also compete with him. lol. but.
as an actual house for her. That doesn't hurt the fact though that he tried really hard to make everyone happy. especially since it was a true story.Luke Perry plays Lane Frost in this true tale of a champion. I never saw this in the theaters and never really thought I would watch it on DVD since the two main stars are Luke Perry and Stephen Baldwin. Living the dream. maybe it's funny to me since I know people like that back in Georgia. Man this movie really made me miss home. And he tried very hard to give everything he could to Kellie (even though he wasn't always faithful).
But he was always there for his fans and a really good role model for the kids. where. And then Lane, during one of the meets, comes across his future wife Kellie, played by the ever so boring Cynthia Geary. Lane begins riding bulls at a young age (actually sheep at that young of an age) and as he gets older, just continues what he loves to do and makes it his profession.
He had major daddy issues, he cheated some, and he was barely home (cause he was out making the money). When the movie was over and the credits were rolling I was pretty much in shock of how good the movie was. He was always smiling and you could see how much fun he was always having. I cracked up when Lane brings a really bad trailer home for Kellie.
There are also some really slow parts to and it's mainly cause of some of the acting. - I met Stephen Baldwin once back in 1999. But a few years ago I was fiending for some country type movies and decided to give this one a chance. Definitely give it a try.P.S. I gotta find me a rodeo to go to sometime here in Vegas.In the end I would say this movie might feel like a Hallmark movie, but it was a lot of fun at some points. Then I asked someone in the check out aisle who he was and she said, "I can't remember his name but that's the Bio Dome guy." "Ahhhh. And then I thought, "HIGHSCHOOL." So since he was seriously just standing around and hanging out at the check out counters I went up to him and said, "Dude did you go to Northside High School back in Georgia." He said, "Nope." So I walked away totally confused of how I knew this guy. When the credits were running, I sat there and thought to myself, "Man this guy had a crazy good life even if it was ended to soon."Sure he wasn't perfect.
That right there is just amazing to me, because there are very few out there who are doing exactly what they want to do. from. Well. Sometimes you'd think you should be watching a romantic part or a good story telling part, and Cynthia or Stephen would just ruin it cause there acting is crap. I looked at him and thought to myself, I know this dude. now I remember." And then I went home with my glue and a fun story.
I got this movie for a friend. It arrived on time and in perfect, new condition. Would recommend both movie and seller.
