    • Trivia
      Last feature film of 'Harry H. Corbett'.
    • Alternate versions
      There are two different endings to this film in circulation. The full version ends with David Essex lifting his arms in victory as his motorbike crosses the finish line. Seconds after he does so the bike begins to wobble, then spins out of control and crashes spectacularly. The second version concludes with a freeze-frame immediately after Essex crosses the line and raises his arms.

    It may be a corny, weak movie but ...
    I saw this or part of it last night (21-09-99) and the only reason I was interested in it was when I saw {Cristina Raines .... Julie Prince} - she is certainly an extremely beautiful woman and as far as I am concerned makes this film well worth watching.

    Forget the cheesy scences on the bike or Essex jogging with his perma-grin - just focus on the lovely Cristina and you'll easily get through it!
