While anxiously waiting for the "Rush" movie to arrive in theaters in September, and watching the three trailers already released, we almost forgot there's another cool flick to make its way onto the big screen later this year.
Called "Snake & Mongoose", this new film also tells the story of a great motorsport rivalry, but that's the only similarity when compared with "Rush". And that's because "Snake & Mongoose" has nothing do to with Formula One, but with drag racing and two of its famed drivers - Don "the Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "the Mongoose" McEwen.
It's about one of the greatest rivalries in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) history, one that brought both thrilling action and groundbreaking accomplishments on the drag strip, including sports marketing and the famous Hot Wheels sponsorship.
The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on September 6, three weeks earlier than "Rush", so just scroll below to see what "Snake & Mongoose" is all about.
