What’s Aged the Worst?
Video game, overloaded subplots, rushed win, courtship, and sex scenes
The Days of Thunder video game is criticized as unusually poor for a film suited to an arcade adaptation. The film is criticized for carrying too many underdeveloped backstories, including Bucky's father. Cole's muted reaction to winning Daytona is criticized as rushed and insufficiently celebratory. Cole's pursuit of Claire is criticized as intrusive from the exam-room contact through the parking-lot wait and apartment flowers. Harry's rapid car-building montage is criticized for skipping potentially interesting craft detail. Tim Daland's generic name and the unclear financing of the two-car team are questioned. Cole's bedroom scene with Claire is criticized as another awkward, ambiguous Tom Cruise love scene.
