		I film realizzati da ELVIS e alcune descrizioni.
		Dopo due anni di servizio militare, i suoi film presero tutti la stessa formula: belle ragazze, luoghi esotici, scazzottate e canzoni.
		Gli unici due film che si aggiunsero furono due documentari riguardanti la sua carriera musicale: il primo fu "That's the way it is", che lo riprende durante i preparativi per il ritorno sul palcoscenico; e il secondo "Elvis on Tour" documenta 15 giorni di concerti attraverso gli Stati Uniti.

	SUPER SPEEDWAY
		There was no doubt in Low's mind that he had chosen the perfect subject for an IMAX film: Indy car racing was the most competitive form of racing, the cars were technologically the most interesting, and the types of race courses-ovals, big ovals, road courses and city courses-were the most varied.
		Richter was very interested in the film from the beginning, and was able to convince Carl Haas that the project should be taken seriously.
		Lyons has restored more than 50 vintage automobiles since he began his hobby at age 14, and in the film, his passion for his craft is readily apparent as he rebuilds the wreckage of the roadster, striving to restore it to its original glory.

	DVD Review: Super Speedway: The Mach II Edition
		Not only is "Super Speedway" a technical achievement due to the fact that the footage was well-captured by the giant cameras strapped to cars going at hundreds of miles an hour, but it also does a fine job of telling the story of the Andrettis and their history of racing.
		VIDEO: The original edition of "Super Speedway" provided a full_frame transfer, which I didn't particularly object to, since full_frame is generally show the large-format IMAX pictures are shown when they come to home video.
		"Speedway", though, remains a real masterpiece of sound design; while the film transports us into the middle of the racing experience, the sound design really completes the experience and elevates the thrills to a far higher level.

		It is presented in full frame (as are all IMAX films) and exhibits excellent detail and clarity.

	DVD Times - The Elvis Collection Volume 2
		Speedway can really only be viewed from the other side of the barrier that those films created, as the product of an earlier era and a different universe.
		Film star Johnny Tyrone (Elvis) is touring the Middle East to promote his latest movieonly to be kidnapped by a gang who seem to have taken his film a little too seriously and want him to carry out a hit for them.
		Speedway is anamorphic 2.35:1 and looks much better, sharper and more colourful, though I suspect the reds are over-vivid on purpose.

	SPEEDWAY JUNKY (2001) Director: Nickolas Perry Stars: Jesse Bradford, Jordan Brower, Darryl Hannah, Jonathan Taylor ...
		But the problem of Speedway Junky is not its acting, but all its clichéd plot twists, which are completely unbelievable yet at the same time annoyingly predictable.
		Suffice to say that threats from the Las Vegas mafia, the melodramatic choice between hustling or love, the overacted dying scene of one of the film’s main characters, and the cheap symbolism of the silver dollar, which obviously signifies the fortune of fate, figure prominently in the film’s final acts.
		Speedway Junky aims for depth and invested emotions, but just fails to deliver much of anything more than unfulfilled promises and missed opportunities.

	Story - The Big Picture
		IMAX films need to be very educational with a story, because children want to be educated.
		Interestingly, "Super Speedway" is one of two films that will open Muvico’s IMAX screen; the other, "Into the Deep," is an underwater experience that is essentially a 3D version of "The Living Sea," which already has played the science center (and which does not have the ability to show 3D films).
		A film called "Water" is fully funded with its premier scheduled for fall of '99 followed by an IMAX film on bears.

	SPEEDWAY JUNKY ON-LINE REVIEW by Christian Leopold Shea
		What is disappointing about Speedway Junky is that Perry, as a first time feature film director, seemed unsure of himself in a film of this size, and wasn't fully aware of just how far he could really push his talented cast.
		One of the ironies of why Speedway Junky has been sitting on the shelf for so long is that film distributors wanted "bigger stars" in it way back in the last century.
		There sat Speedway Junky, a marvelous little film which everyone wanted to buy, provided that they could have it at a low price, and provided it could be filmed (or even re-shot, if necessary) with actors and actresses who were now pulling down million-dollar paychecks.

		In all, "Speedway Junky" is a definite mixed bag; however, the DVD version is redeemed by an excellent director's commentary in which writer/director Perry provides an honest critique of his own work and gives an invaluable lesson on the process of making an independent film in today's Hollywood.
		As for the film's other problems, they are numerous and start with the weak screenplay, which ends by trashing the most sympathetic character in the film and then tacks on a happy ending that is unbelievable, to say the least.
		In all, "Speedway Junky" is a failure, and an extremely unlucky one at that.
