Redline addpermalink

If you want to feel 2 very different shots of adrenaline, try those two films back to back. BBD is quite grounded, fueled by a rivalry between hard-headed teenagers with very lowkey romance elements. Redline on the other hand is extremely over the top, everything is more heavy handed and unrealistically stylish.

Where both show converge though is through the stubbornness of the characters, who are racers before are else and live for the thrill of the speed (and danger). Both show open with a short race and have a huge race in the latter part, with some plot devices in between. Animation-wise, both show give their all to render the feel of speed. BBR's animation is older and had less budget than Redline, so of course it's not the same spectacle, but the former did the best with what it had and the races are breathtaking.

Redline is over the top and is qutie carefree, while BBR... let's say it acknowledges that the need for speed is not without consequences. Similar love for the race, but different philosophy. read more
