True Story of a Counrty Man

by corishannon , Jan 15 '00
Pros: True story - Shows both the good and bad choices the man made
Cons: The clothing did not seem to blend with the ago of the movie
This is a movie which casted the main character to Luke Perry while he was still a HUGE hit with 90210. It is good to see movies taking a chance on a person who seems to be connected to a specific character. The protrail through the years showed how a...

Pros: Lots of Great actors and actresses

Anyone who loves Rodeo will need to watch this one. Based on an actual Rodeo champion bull rider- Lane Frost, It makes me cry like a baby every time. I have watched this movie so many times I have lost count and it still makes me feel all sappy inside. I...

Pros: very touching, true and tragic story
Cons: incredibly sad
I know that is a strange title.. but it's true.
I got the soundtrack to this movie from
a CD club, because I didn't send the card back in

going to send it back.. when I saw that the...

8 Seconds gets 8 Beers on My List

by demon , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Accurate and interesting.
Cons: Not long enough
As far as I am concerned, this is the only movie that Luke Perry has ever really acted in. His portrayal of Lane Frost in this great country classic is riveting. 8 Seconds gives a pretty accurate account of the life and times of Lane Frost and his...

A True, Honest Way of Life

by jeffslilee , Jan 29 '00
Pros: good stoy-line, plenty of rodeo action, great music, wonderful actors (Luke Perry looks JUST like Lane Frost)
Cons: sad ending, rough langiage
8 Seconds has truly captured the dangerous ways of rodeo life. Being born and raised in Texas, and being around my best friends father who was once a professional bull-rider, I love the ways of the rodeo, and was thrilled to see that there was a movie...

Pros: good for the cowboys/cowgirls at heart
Cons: a very sad but true ending

Lane Frost....gone but not forgotten.

by barrelracer_03 , Feb 07 '00
Pros: This movie is awesome.
Cons: It doesn't tell the whole truth about Lane's life.
Lane Frost is gone, but he is not forgotten. My friend and I love rodeo and evreything about it. We love watching all rodeo events, and especially Bull Riding. When Lane passed away it was a sad day in Rodeo history. The fact that this movie had...

Don't Get Bumped Off by What Others Say About This Film

by xerxes63 , Mar 01 '00
Pros: touches many emotions in large variety of people
Cons: what is up with that accent, Luke?
If you can get past Luke Perry's terrible twang in this film, you just may find that you like it. I was drawn to this film because of two things: I was a fan of Perry's when he was on Beverly Hills 90210, and I am usually drawn to "true...

Sad Story, Great Movie

by heres_johnny , Apr 12 '00
Pros: Luke Perry
Cons: Slow start
I'm not much of a cowboy, or like seeing things about cowboys, but my dad does, and when he got 8 Seconds, I cringed at the thought of seeing two more hours of bull riding. But it's much more than bull riding. It's the story of every man, and how...

by Wahoo1975 , Jul 12 '00
Pros: Good acting and a touching movie

Ok, I hate the rodeo. I dislike the country. Horses and Cows not only scare me, they also smell bad. But, even I was drawn into this movie.Many of you might say, " Luke Perry??..get serious!" But, no doubt about it, Perry does an excellent job...
