Trivia:
Many of the real life characters names of the Miss Budweiser team have been changed for the film, they are: Roger Epperson, who was based on the real life late Miss Budweiser owner, Bernie Little; his son Bobby was based on either of his sons, Bernie Jr or Joe Little and Rick Inston was based on Dean Cheonoweth, the driver of the team until his fatal accident in 1981. more
Goofs:
Anachronisms: The Miss Budweiser raced through the film in its all-red color scheme, which was not adopted by the team until 1994. As one of the most recognizable boats in the history of hydroplane racing, this mistake may have been made deliberate by filmmakers. more

An excellent film., 25 January 2001
Author: (dfletch) from Salt Lake City

I just saw this film at Sundance 2001.

A feel good movie that's honest. The treatment is respectful and moving. The acting is very good, production value is very good. Good casting. It really captures the essence of the struggles of life along the Ohio in the middle of the 20th Century.

I look forward to seeing it again during the theatrical release.
