This reminds me of the Speed Racer movie where one of the competitors in the race drove a land train made of pure gold.
Not sure what the plot was but they were the villan trying to hide the gold. Speed Racer had to use his steering-wheel-radial-menu to summon equipment embedded in his aerodymanic car (up against this extraordinarily heavy freighter with lots a drag).
- karatestomp 6y agoThe Bond film Goldfinger featured a villain smuggling gold as parts of cars.

- JKCalhoun 6y agoI just posted about that and then saw your comment. See: https://youtu.be/EgSk7yEheLo https://youtu.be/EgSk7yEheLo What kind of professional auto race allows a car the length and size of a train? Love that they green-lighted (greenlit?) that script.
- moneytide1 6y agoHaha thank you for this. I was cracking up at so many things - 1500 HP per wheel as told to the inspector LOL. 500 mph on any kind of road. Over the top in so many ways, love it. The signature sound it made when it was imposing in a scene resonates with me in such a deep, nostalgic way.
