Influence and Impact Episode 22: How Hot Rodders Shaped Car Racing Movies, Hollywood Stunt Cars, And Movie Cars

The relationship between hot rodders and car movies has always been a special one, but it has sometimes been hard to tell who is influencing who. I’ve often thought that movies are inspired by cars, but that the movies also inspire new people to get into cars. If you think back to movies like the Fast and Furious franchise, there are tons of young people who have gotten into the car scene after seeing those movies. And other car movies inspire people to want to build specific cars or trucks, or to try out different kinds of racing.
