From CraveOnline: If you’ve got the need… the need to see car chases in Blu-ray format, then you may want to check out Scott Waugh’s Need for Speed, which arrives on home video this week. The clip also features Lance Gilbert, Stunt Coordinator, from Stunts Unlimited. The film stars “Breaking Bad’s” Aaron Paul as a racecar driver enacting cross-country revenge on his nemesis Dominic Cooper (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) while romancing Imogen Poots (Filth) along the way. The car chases in Need for Speed really are need, and they were all done practically, so this CraveOnline Exclusive clip from the Blu-ray about how they were pulled off is really something fun to behold.
