The Wraith Inspired Movies like the Fast and Furious
The car races in the Wraith were beautifully shot and definitely set the standard for how car race scenes should be done. The races in the Wraith definitely inspired movies such as The Fast and The Furious. There was no CGI at the time the Wraith was filmed, so everything had to be done with real cars and stunts.
The great soundtrack in the Wraith also helped take the race scenes to the next level. The music helped create that adrenaline and excitement feeling. Take a look at the video below of Minty's 1977 Trans AM versus the Wraith's Dodge MS4 Interceptor. The song being played during the race is "Never Surrender" by Lion.
