Fast Company is a must-see for fans of director David Cronenberg and automotive gearheads alike. While Cronenberg took a break from the horror genre, he feels just as at home in the seat of a dragster. It's all gears and fast cars and beautiful women. The great John Saxon plays our villain who wants his cars to lose while the money keeps pouring in from oil company sponsor Fast Company (FastCo). Lead racers played by William Smith and Nicholas Campbell eventually catch on and fight back to an explosive ending. It drags a little in the middle as the racing takes a back seat to the romance, but Cronenberg's obsession with the machinery of cars carries the movie. This was the final film of Claudia Jennings, who died in car crash several months after the film's release.

Movie Description

Fast Company is a 1979 Canadian action film directed by David Cronenberg and starring William Smith, John Saxon, Claudia Jennings and Nicholas Campbell. It was written by Phil Savath, Courtney Smith, Alan Treen and Cronenberg. It was primarily filmed at Edmonton International Speedway, in addition to other locations in Edmonton, Alberta, and Western Canada.

Although Fast Company - an all-action, non-horror, non-psychological B-movie - remains an anomaly in Cronenberg's filmography, it has never lost its place in the affections of its director, who is an enthusiast of cars and their machinery ("which I get very metaphysical and boring about") and sometime racer.
