Winners Take All is the Days of Thunder of Supercross motorcycle racing pictures.
In fact, I think that's how Tony Scott got most of the ideas for his auto racing classic. The cast, most especially Don
Michael Paul, Robert Krantz, and Kathleen York, turns in all-around great performances. I like the characters and their names,
especially Bad Billy Robinson.
It has many 80's elements, and they're what makes Winners Take All a fun picture to watch. It's not often a
female character is the mastermind, but it's a nice change of scenery this time. Also, director Fritz Kiersch takes
a big risk by including a character by the name of Bear, and it works out well at the end.
All in all, Winners Take All is the most exciting movie made about Supercross motorcycle racing.
