Summary: Heart breaking story of Lane Frost
Review: I am a 16 year old female who is so touched by the story of the BEST BULL RIDER, Lane Frost. This story touched my heart so much, I had tears in my eyes. I have watched it so many times and still cry. Lane is the bravest man I know. He has so much courage and will always be in my heart. Luke Perry did a great job in the movie, he deserves alot of credit. To Lane Frost's family, all my prayers to you, you were the luckiest family to have Lane be your son. Best of Luck!! I love you! Love Angela D. from Arkansas END

Summary: Touching Story of a World Champion Bull Rider
Review: I was at the Cheyenne Frontier Days the day Lane was killed by a bull and saw his last ride. This movie brought tears to my eyes and I felt that Luke Perry did a great job. I made a tribute web page for Lane Frost at http://www.cowgirls.com/dream/jan/frost.htm. Janet Ratzloff http://www.cowgirls.com http://rodeo.miningco.com END

Summary: heart-filling
Review: To start off, I have two boys, 7 years apart. My youngest loves Lane amd wants to be like him. We have already had to buy another tape because he wore to other out. He'll stand with his hands in the air and wave like Lane did in the movie. (By the way, He's only two). He trys to ride goats now, and begs to get on calves. I love the movie, and because it has touched my family so, Lane has become apart of our family. He was just borrowed from the angels for a purpose on this earth. God Bless the Frost Family. Sincerely, Angie END

Summary: My Absolute Favorite
Review: This movie is amazing. Luke Perry does a great job playing rodeo great, Lane Frost. The movie follows the true story of Lane Frost, and although parts of this movie were created by Hollywood (there was no Martin Hudson, Kellie wasn't there in the end, Cody didn't write poems, etc.) it is still a great movie.
Luke Perry plays Lane Frost, Luke does a great job portraying Lane. Lane's parents, Clyde and Elsie, attended throughout the filming of the movie. As did Lane's best friend, Tuff Hedeman. Tuff could sometimes be heard speaking to Luke and saying "Lane wouldn't do it that way", so Luke would stop what he was doing, and start all over, doing it until he got it right.
If you overlook the few "Hollywood" moments, this is a great movie. It is without a doubt my favorite movie, and I hope it will be yours too. It's a great movie for rodeo fans of all ages, and even if you're not a fan of rodeo, you will be a fan of Lane's by the time this movie is over!

Summary: Ride 'Em Cowboy
Review: Bulls, tight pants, and Stetsons: what more could a girl ask for? In the 1994 movie 8 Seconds, Lane Frost (Luke Perry), an Oklahoma cowboy, travels the contiguous United States in search of the World Champion Bull Rider title. He travels with his two buddies, Tuff Hedeman (Stephen Baldwin) and Cody Lambert (Red Mitchell), also bull riders. They go through many trials and tribulations including the times when each of them getting hurt, acts of adultery, and, let's not forget, Lane falling in love.
This is my all-time favorite movie. I love the fact that it is a true story. Lane Frost was one of the best bull riders to ever come off the circuit. He was kind, compassionate, and he loved what he did. He never turned a child away when he/she wanted an autograph. The saddest part about the story, however, is that he lost his life doing what he loved to do most.
This is a story of a true hero. Many cowboys looked up to Lane Frost, both young and old. He was not only looked up to, but he also gained the support and trust of these cowboys throughout his many days of riding. However, we cannot forget that Lane was human and made a few mistakes in his life (e.g. adultery, drinking, cussing), which are presented in the movie.
This is a great movie to watch with your family, aside from the couple references to adultery and cussing. It teaches values and respect, and it makes you want to love what you do, just as Lane Frost did.

Summary: A solid ride
Review: When this movie first came out, I did not know who Lane Frost was. After I saw it, however, I wish I would have known him. This film may come off as sort of sugary sweet to some, but adultery, drinking, fighting and cussing don't seem so sugary to me. Mr. Frost had faults. He was human. But he prevailed where others have failed. That is what make him a hero and Luke Perry's portrayal of Mr. Frost exemplifies that. This movie suffers from a few inaccuracies, but those inaccuracies help move this film along at a pace that non-rodeo people can enjoy. The acting is fine, and that's really Luke Perry on some of those bulls. You've got to give the guy a nod for that. The soundtrack is also very influential on the look and feel of this movie. "Once In Awhile" by Billy Dean is the pinnacle performance in this movie, and if you're eyes don't well up when you hear it, you've got no heart inside. This is a decent family movie, although some younger kids probably shouldn't be exposed to some of the language and the adultery. It should be noted, however, that these things are key in making this a real story. This is a solid movie about a real man, full of heart and fault, yet still a hero to us all.

Summary: Awesome movie!
Review: I just recently watched this movie, and even though it's almost 10 years old, it is an amazing movie. From top to bottom. At the end credits, when it shows the stills and live footage of Lane Frost with Bill Conti's music, it becomes a tear-jerker very quickly. I was truly touched by this movie. I never had any interest in bull riding of any kind, but this movie made a world unknown to me come to life. Great movie.

Summary: This movie is SO awesome!!
Review: 8 Seconds is, by far, my most favorite movie! I love the actors, the roles they play, and the whole story is very, very good. Also, the fact that it's based on a true story just makes it really touch your heart, and it's very easy to get caught up in not just the movie, but the people's lives in this story. I don't often go to rodeo's, but this movie gets me real pumped up to go watch some bull riding! It's very inspiring, and I recommend it to anybody who loves a good movie!

Summary: Our Favorite Together Movie
Review: My husband and I first watched this movie just after we began dating in 1994. There are not too many movies that we are in full agreeance with but this is one of them! It is our all time favorite together movie. It is a true story and a true tear jerker! It is inspiring and tells a tale of determination. Rodeo lovers as well as those who have never seen the sport will love this movie! What a wonderful tribute to Lane Frost.
