After Top Gun sequal, I want Days Of Thunder back soooo bad!

[soko]

Man Tony Scott really knew how to intro a movie! RIP

[SaberToothLawnTigers]

I think the intro to this movie made me love Nascar.

[travisguyer]

Maybe it’s because I’m a biased racing fan but this has to be one of the greatest movie openings ever.

[msullivan]

This movie gets a lot of crap but to me for what it is it's an all time classic, especially this opening. It really is perfectly done. Starting slow and quiet, with run rise shots. All the shots of the garage with the music. It's just great. Hans Zimmer is a legend obviously everyone knows that but he killed it for this movie.

[TheWarthogRunGame]

Never been to a nascar race, yet there's something so nostalgic and "right" about seeing the sun rise above a fleet of camper vans as fans get ready for the race. It's just so wonderfully american and 90's.

Tom Cruise, Robert Duvall, Tony Scott, Hans Zimmer, Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson. You just can't go wrong with this setup!

[tomaslenart]

This was one of the first racing movies I've seen as a kid. That opening intro is so perfect. Even today, every time I'm at a racing circuit and the race day starts, I listen to this soundtrack and watch racers come out of their trailers, marshalls prepare their posts, some other marshalls cleaning the debris from the track, racers starting their track walks etc.... But this opening sequel is so awesome. It just works.

[StsFiveOneLima]

Hans Zimmer thought this soundtrack was no good. Fuck that. It's perfect.

[Wrathlon]

This movie managed to make you FEEL Nascar.

[anandsundaram]

Insane opening. Tony Scott and Hans Zimmer at their best

[ScottAndScarlettsDarkHumor]

The best opening scene and movie score pairing for a car movie that Hollywood has ever done. I love how they snuck in head on shots of Dale Earnhardt Sr. Looking back from the present it makes the movie just a little more special. That and the featuring of Richard Petty as well.

[TimezupTruckingLLC]

Back when NASCAR was great. I guess growing up in NC, and going to High School At Randleman where Richard Petty went to school, this will always be one of my favorites. I miss the 90’s great times

[RoastBeefSandwich]

watching the movie makes me sad for how much NASCAR has changed. the good times are over.

[colingreenfield]

Iconic opening. One of the Greatest ever.... Tony, Jerry, Don and Hans who made it so special ❤ Thx to All

[jacobantony]

Tony Scott is a master at a least one thing, opening credits to a movie.

[albertsandberg]

Gentlemen, start your engines. Instant goosebumps.

[carmonajr]

2:12 sends shivers down my spine every time.

[JosephByrne]

They played this music when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the Daytona 500 this year (2023). It was soo good.

[MH-imoh]

Hans...
Only Hans can make this intro so epic...
