Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Eric Fangulo This show is so bad that it should be classified as science fiction comedy , the situations are so fabricated that it makes you laugh, the exaggerations are so unnecessary, the situations are mostly out of place, the characters of the show look more shady than the people they deal with, the shows tries to give the perception that the rest of the world is just a Tijuana like slum, these type of shows are an enormous disappointment to viewers that are trying to find something authentic and a let down from Discovery, that in most cases is considered a channel with quality shows and content. I hope my review is not considered a spoiler, since it clearly describes the show.

patrick-201-760554 I had the misfortune to watch their Argentinian episode, where they nearly buy a replica Bugatti. This was depressing - this show seems to be aimed at US couch potatoes who think that traveling outside the US is tantamount to risking your life. Discovery channel also seem to think that their audience has absolutely no idea what a classic car is. The ignorance on show is just laughable - the commentator described the Bugatti engine as an 'inline v8" (its a straight eight - morons). I guess that the production team are just as dumb as the intended audience. The macho bravado of their 'security adviser' constantly flagging up totally innocuous scenarios as if they were extremely dangerous got very tiresome, very quickly. This is what happens when you let less-than-intelligent non-car people make a car show. Absolute garbage - avoid at all costs.

mdh217636 If you take the show at face value the 2 main characters are complete idiots. If you realize the truth that it is all scripted it is even worse, their acting is bad, the situations are unrealistic and the premise of the show is dumb. People who conduct this type of activity do in fact have significantly more security, do much more exhaustive research and have plans in place to secure the cars and ship them. This show is a waste of an hour of your time. The show shows very little of the actual cars nor does it explain how these very high end cars end up in this terrible places in pristine condition. On top of this, it appears that the two main characters are completely clueless as to the supposed danger they place themselves in time after time, they can't speak the local language and then proceed to insult people's cars that they look at when it doesn't meet their expectations. Assuming for a moment that what you see is in anyway real (which it isn't) these guys want to place US standards of conduct in a foreign environment. In realty these guys would have been shot, robbed or killed a long time ago.

hiddenabove No other show takes you to the slums of the world in search of valuable cars. If anyone has ever traveled to the countries that this show has gone to thus far, they know that outside of the tourist areas it can be really dangerous, especially when you are sticking out in high valued automobiles. The fact that this is the number seven ranked show in the United States on Friday nights speaks volumes to the greatness that it is. Obviously not every aspect of this show is worth a ten rating (some of the plot lines are weak and are really easy to figure out early on), but for an hour long show it moves fast and keeps you entertained the whole time.
