Snake and Mongoose

Snake and Mongoose
Spread The Viralist



Jesse Williams (LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER, TV’S GREY’S ANATOMY) stars alongside Tim Blake Nelson (LINCOLN, O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?) and Noah Wyle (TV’s FALLING SKIES, TV’s ER) in this spectacular true story of one of racing’s most famous rivalries. The explosive, heart-pounding tracks of 1960’s Southern California set the stage for dueling drag racers Don “The Snake” Prudhomme and Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen. They compete for dominance in their dangerous sport but soon find their unmatched thirst for fame and compensation transforms their aggressions into something greater — a kinship that enables them to team up and revolutionize an entire industry forever.

  1. I actually enjoyed this film. Using real footage, along with a lot of period-correct vehicles,
    blended together rather nicely, I think. Even the pick-up trucks are cool.
    I see both Don and Tom are listed with the many producers. One can imagine the "discussions" they must have had with the suits about content and creative license.

  2. I was lucky enough to have a "Snake & Mongoose" Hot Wheels set when I was a kid. Was one of my all-time favorite toys, played with it 'til it was all worn out. NHRA (and Mattel lol) owes these two men a huge debt of thanks.

  3. I love vintage NHRA. It’s cool to see the actual footage mixed in and see not only Snake and Goose, but also Steve Evans, and Dave McClelland, and Buster Couch etc. Also awesome to hear music from Mitch Malloy. The Van Halen singer that no one knew about. Can’t wait to see him with Great White next week in Wheeling WV!

  6. Don was asked what was his secret to success. He replied that no one knows everything there is to know. The secret is to find the right person who knows.

  7. It was really nice of Tom McEwen to let us in his pits when he came to St Louis. We actually built up a repor with him. I only wonder why???? Things that make you go hmm.

  8. I never heard of this movie but I had the hot wheel cars of the snake and the mongoose, also had model cars when I was a kid. I remember Drag racing was very popular. Its awesome that they use the Elvis song Spin out in the movie!

  9. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS MOVIE WAS MADE BUT I JUST SEEN IT NOW. THERE HASN'T REALLY BEEN A MOVIE THAT HAS TOUCHED MY COLD DARK RACING HEART EVER NOT LIKE THIS ONE. MOST OF US IN THE MOTOR SPORTS GAVE UP MARRIAGES RELATIONSHIPS TO KEEP ON RACING AND IN THE WAKE WE ALL BURIED LOVED ONES THAT MADE OUR LIVES EVEN MORE DIFFICULT.

  10. THESE WERE MY HEROES GROWING UP…. THE MOVIE IS LEAVING IT'S MARK ON ME… I WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WATCHING THESE GUYS AND EVERY SINGLE AFTER THAT….. GOD LOVE THE TONNY MONGOOSE AND DONNY SNAKE…. MY CHILDHOOD WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT U MEN… REALLY… I LIVED MY LIFE FULL OF RESTORING OLD TRUCKS AND RACING STOCKCARS BECAUSE OF THESE MEN.
