One Fast Move, a new movie about motorcycle racing, is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video and features a race-trim Triumph Daytona 765. The movie follows the story of protagonist Wes Neal (KJ Apa), who wants to be a competitive motorcycle racer and trains with Dean Miller (Eric Dane) to achieve those dreams.
Writer and director Kelly Blatz paid special attention to capture not only the atmosphere of motorcycle racing but also the details. Blatz is a motorcyclist and racing enthusiast and wanted to create a realistic representation of the community of racers. For race scenes, the entire field of riders were real racers who brought their trucks and trailers with race bikes to create a realistic pit set-up.
During race scenes, cameras were mounted onto bikes, and microphones were also attached to each motorcycle to record the actual sounds of each bike. For the fastest sequences of the movie, championship racers like Daytona 200 champ Brandon Paasch and Horizon Award winner Brian Stokes were chosen as riders. Blatz also attended the press launch of the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS at Circuito de Jerez to ride the new bike and get further inspiration for the film.
“Creating One Fast Move has been an incredible journey,” said Kelly Blatz. “The film not only showcases the adrenaline-fueled world of motorcycle racing but also delves into the human spirit’s resilience and determination. I am grateful to Triumph Motorcycles for their support and collaboration in bringing this vision to life.”
The bike ridden by the film’s protagonist is a Triumph Daytona 765 Moto2 Limited Edition with a Moto2Style race faring. The powerplant in that bike, the 765cc Moto2 Triple, continues to rack up podium spots in Street Triple 765 RSs in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship and the World Superbike Championship in 2024.
“We are proud to be included in One Fast Move,” said Adam VanderVeen, marketing director of Triumph Motorcycles America. “By capturing the essence of racing, the film captures much of the essence of Triumph – the spirit of adventure, the pursuit of excellence, and the thrill of the ride. It’s incredible to see the track performance of the ever-capable Daytona memorialized in film, however my true desire for this film is that it inspires many non-riders to ride for the first time and inspires current riders to try their first track day, to feel for themselves the thrill which is conveyed on-screen.”
In celebration of the film, Triumph has sent fifty 11×17-inch posters to every Triumph dealership in the U.S. and Canada, and fans can visit their local dealer to get a free poster while supplies last.
We watched about 3 minutes of this turd. Thumping rap crap sound track, moshpit party scene with motorcycles, around burning 55 gallon drums for a race track. No thanks.
This movie is terrible. Bad script, bad acting, just horrible. I was hoping for something fun to watch but it was unbearable. I fast-forwarded through it to find an interesting part. Nope, I didn’t find any.
It’s a movie not a documentary. If I made a movie of my exploits at the race track, people under 18 wouldn’t be able to get in…It may be corny, but at least it’s about motorcycles.
