8 Seconds (DVD, 1999)

Trying to explain how PBR and other Bull riding sports bloomed over night, a couple of Alaskan nights, I bouhgt this film for my wife, son and grandson. Luke Perry does a fair job as Lane Frost and Stephen Baldwin worked hard to potray Tuff Hedeman. Tough roles to fill for both actors especially since Tuff is still up and around and still kicking.
If you haven't got a clue as to what chasing rodeo's used to be like before the Millions of bucks a year payouts, this is the movie. If you want to know how it got to be million dollar payouts, these are two of the men responsible for bringing bull riding to a whole new level.
I don't think Tuff would have ever done what he has done for Bull rding had he not had the love of Lane Frost he had. The diferance in their riding if they were gun slingers, wasn't enough to bet any ones life on. Both were early popular Icons in the sport that promoted the sport itself.
8 seconds needs to be followed by 8 years..
Tuff's struggle to brig the PBRtolife and dea lwith what he had to in order to achieve a dream larger than himself or any rider only to run head first into the politics of big money!
8 Seconds...Learn the meaning of Cowboy up! It don't come easy!
Learn who Lane Frost was and not only what motivated him but why he was personally driven to be the best. Se that Cowboys ain't easy to love and are harder to hold and breaking the faith is something that will ruin a rider.

This is a great movie! If you like true life action, true love, and true friends, then buy "8 Seconds" This move will make you laugh, it will make you cheer, and yes, it will also make you cry. The true life story of Lane Frost, a Pro-Rodeo bull rider. Who was killed doing the thing he loved, riding bulls. And in closing, Tuff if you are reading this, my heart goes out to you. You were a good friend, and the world needs more people like you in it!

What a powerful story about one of the greatest rodeo stars that ever lived.Luke Perry shines and was born to play this roll.I would ask for a better cast and crew for the movie.With the Jokes,Drama,Love,and the thrill of the game this movie is one that all needs to see.

A great storyline of how cowboy meets cowgirl. Luke Perry portrays Lane Frost and does the character justice. The entire cast was excellent in this true to life story of the brave bullrider.

WONDERFUL MOVIE. YOU REALLY GET INTO THE CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE, IT IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY, THE LIFE OF WORLD CHAMPION BULL RIDER, LANE FROST. THIS MOVIES GRABS ALL OF YOUR EMOTIONS.
