Man in a steel cage- Documentary about MT's life, from his Drag racing days at Lions drag strip to Off road racing. MT always seemed to have a camera on his race cars and Danny Thompson has 100's of miles of film. I thought it was a pretty good movie myself, lots of race footage and told the behind the scene's stuff. I remember the ad's in 4 Wheeler and Off-Road magazines for the movie and think it was released originally but was pulled from theater's soon after it's release. Not sure on the reason but it was a "Hollywood" thing and was not to be reproduced. There are few, VERY FEW pirated copies but most are not willing to share. I was fortunate enough to see the film thanks to a friend of mine....good stuff.
Off Road Warriors- Pretty much a movie about off road racing, kinda like todays DP series with crashes and on-board camera stuff with some music in the back ground. Some of the footage that was shot for "Man in a steel cage" was used in this film but not told like a documentary.
Gearhead- Never seen it.

Off-road Warriors isn't bad, lot's of vintage racing action, including 3-wheelers and the stadium series

Thanks for the info, guys. I am pretty certain that Gearhead has not been shot... I first heard of it about 2-3 years ago and think it was a new project by some of the D2G guys. I bet Marty knows more about this project. Marty?

Ive got a VHS copy of the Warriors video but I have no idea where it is. Pretty cool, had my dad in it a good half dozen times. If you can find it, its worth watching.

I found the DVD some years back, fun to see "back in the day" racing when I was at an early age.
