    I only watched the first 15 mins so far but it looks pretty good. I had no idea Eric Bana was a stand up comic or a Rally driver....I'm def gonna finish watching this when I have more time.

    I was laughing when Jeremy Clarkson asked him if he would get rid of his wife after 12 years of marriage because she had a cold.

    I got a chuckle when Leno said, "I like sex, but I don't want to be a porn star."

    I'm about halfway thru it b/f I turned my attention back to football; I'll finish watching tomorrow morning after Monza.

    What a great show! Perfectly sums up the difference between it being "Oh yeah, I've got to take the car to the shop" and "I've got to fix MY car".

    Just finished it; great stuff and really captures the passion.

    While watching the credits I noticed Bana was listed under music as "percussion"; I wonder if his instrument was a tree. ;)

    My favorite part was when he was retelling the story to Leno, and he said two Martians in racing suits came out of nowhere, and their car was crashed right by theirs a bit further down, had me LMFAO :D

    A good DVD to pick up, far better than watching over the net :)

    How's that Isaac? Is there more in the DVD? It was a great "movie".

    Better quality, higher resolution, better sound... I can't stand watching an hour long broadcast (or anything more than a few minutes) on downgraded internet video.

    I teared up a little when Bana crashed the Falcon during the Targa endurance race. Just thinking about seeing my car, which I love, in pieces fills me with dread.

    Soundtrack was great (i.e. Explosions in the Sky). Thanks for sharing this.

    Yep, got to me too. I watched the last hour or so of the first showing then immediately watched the replay. Just a great movie and a fantastic story. One movie where I hope there is a sequel..."Rebuild the Beast" maybe? :)

    This was nothing short of brilliance in describing how I feel about cars.
    Just wonderful.

    No one should build a rallycar w/o thing of it as disposable.

    One team I run w/ that has multiple rallycars has one named 'The Beast'. There is also Bastard and Green Monster.

    Motorsports is a disease of the brain which not even Dr Phil can cure.

    The Beast is different; watch the movie and I believe you will agree.
