"We are pacing him on these, to get more gift bang-for-the-buck. He loves the first movie, and as you can imagine we've seen it bunches of times. For an adult, it's kinda thin on plot, but there is one. For a little boy that wants to see cars go fast, and likes a good-guy/bad-guy story, it's the bomb!"
More Hot Wheels movies

"My son (now 7) loves these movies. We could only find the first 2 at our movie store so we got this for him for Christmas and I can't tell you how many times he's watched them. We can't wait for the next one because of the surprise at the end of movie #4. Good, consistent plot throughtout that's not hard to follow. Somehow these drivers morphed into muscle-bound somewhat unrealistic looking people from the initial movie -- World Race. Not sure what the purpose behind that is . . . doesn't make it bad but just different if you expect them to look like they did in World Race. A few of these get into a little more unfriendly competition, but again nothing really bad. Overall fun movies for kids that love Hot Wheels cars! And even enjoyable for the grownups as well."

One Very Satisfied Seven Year Old

"I purchased this set for my son's seventh birthday. He is crazy about all things Hot Wheels, so naturally this was a hit. I recommend renting the videos if at all possible from your local video store if you have any concerns. The characters are a bit tough for my liking, and there are some secondary storylines that have dark overtones (ie one of the characters has a brother who died, and one video alludes the possibility he was involved in drugs, though it never says so specifically). I didn't feel it was overt enough, and my son just likes watching the fast cars, but some parents may find it objectionable. Overall it's a good value and it's pretty clean, too."

"Not only do these movies occupy my children's time, it also got them playing with their hot wheels again. Great faced pace movies with a great story line. What a cliff hanger on The Ultimate Race (#4). Kids can't wait for #5, and don't tell but I can't either!"
