Powerboat racing champion and the founder of Cigarette Formula Donzi Magnum Squadron XII USA Racing and a larger-than-life figure Aronow was known as the King of Thunderboat Row a short stretch of 188 th Street in North Miami.

Don aronow film. Senior Editor Kevin Koenig spoke to those who knew him best the key players of Thunderboat Row. There are abrupt smash-cut edits poorly choreographed and photographed motorboat racing scenes and voiceover narration that rushes viewers through key plot points. Aronow was a shroud legitimate business man who was respected by many though would leave a bad taste in the mouth in others.

The type of guy that one would say sooner or later that guy will run into somebody who aint gonna take it nicely and obviosly he did. In a sign of the films dismal cleverness Speed Kills is loosely based on the life of Don Aronow but here hes called Ben Aronoff and hes brought to life by Travolta as a cocky. He launched Magnum Marine in Florida in 1966 and created the Cigarette Donzi Formula and Cary speedboats.

Since I rented it rather than buying it Im only out 2 glad I didnt buy the DVD which I almost did because I was a fan of Don Aronow. Directed by Andrew Wainrib. Travolta plays a guy named Ben Aronoff who is loosely based on a real guy named Don Aronow.

From being a huge success in the construction industry he went on the being a legend as a powerboat designer and racer. The life of speed-demon boatbuilder Don Aronow was cut short in a hail of bullets but he left a lasting impression on the people in his life. If youre brave enough to watch it I recommend preparing for the worst.

Everything in this movie has been out for decades and the cheesy production reminds me more of someone producing their first YouTube video. Some preliminary scenes are supposed to be disorienting but many of the movies creative decisions barely make sense. With Rick Allen Carlo Bonomi George Bush Fabio Buzzi.

The first 45 minutes of the amateurish based-on-a-true-story Speed Kills are pretty rough. As the editor of Motor Boating. The story is so incoherent I dont think Don himself would have been able to follow what was supposed to be happening.
