Redline (2007)

Not to be confused with Japanese animated film of the same name (which is badass and completely worth watching), the American Redline of 2007 is a bafflingly awful Fast and the Furious knock-off with a fascinating history.

It was financed by Daniel Sadek, a very wealthy man who used some of his own automobile collection for the film. The problem was that Sadek’s wealth came from his company Quick Loan Funding, a company that was very much into subprime-mortgages. Between this film’s absolute failure and the meltdown of the subprime-mortgage market not too long after that… Well, Sadek declared bankruptcy by 2009.
