- Niki Lauda offers his personal review of the biographical sports action drama film, “Rush,” which tells the story of his rivalry with fellow Formula 1 driver, James Hunt. Lauda says the movie was about 80 percent accurate and that he’s happy with the finished product, but originally didn’t like the rough cut of the feature film.

"I think he did an outstanding job of playing me" the best complement any actor can receive.
*compliment* ☺
Especially when it comes from a known no-bullsh***er!
Daniel bruhl definitely deserves a Oscar...
Seriously.
He's such a good actor..
Even though he has been named the best multilingual actor.... It still feels he deserves more
Getting an Oscar is
you prolly dont care but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
It’s so sad to watch him now knowing he’s no longer here. 😭😭
Rest in Peace Niki
Chris G. Danke Niki
Its hard to take this sort of message seriously when theres emojis in it...
He'll literally live forever in age of ultron, can't tell the difference
Stop Using People's Fame For Your Own Good.
Ok I May Of Been A Bit Rude. My Point Was That From My View He's Using His Death For Likes.
20% wrong...not a percent more!
Hahaha I understood that reference.
Nailed it, that's the best comment here.
My first lol in several days!
Nice tie in!
i mean... to be realistic, if he says that 80% is right... then is one of the most acurate movies ever, take an example of bohemian rhapsody...
“The biggest problem is you’re not dead”. Daniel Bruhl. Well you brought him to life again today. RIP Niki
I once watched this film everyday for a week. Its so good!
Very well said. Lauda was my favorite as a kid. Read The Art and Science of Grand Prix Racing for great insight into the mind of Niki Lauda.
Well, this was really a phrase that Lauda would Say to someone 😂
Considering Hollywoods ability to screw up the simplest things, 80% is remarkably high. I enjoyed the movie. Great interview.
You've got to thank Ron Howard for that. Not everything he does is solid gold but he has a real reverence for things like this where there is an authentic source. He manages to blend the documentary with the movie. To get a proper movie feel when it's 80% accurate is so much down to how the director treats the script and where it came from.
I agree. He did a good job. Hollywood usually messes the story up and sensationalizes things.
Not every movie base on true shit is 100%, also who gives a fuck, its a movie they are meant to make shit up for the hell of it and what not again WHO CARES
" some Hollywood logically "
Basically saying that did just right amount of Hollywood and left everything else on the table
The movie is really worth the rewatches
So much rewatch value
@@judistzoinkiski3395 obviously the fans of the sport care
That's like saying Star Wars is a fictional galaxy and we shouldn't care how much of a shit movie Last Jedi is and will be forever because it's just fictional
If a movie is based on reality than it should be as close as possible within reason to the events that actually happen
If Pearl Harbor the movie depicts the USS Enterprise being bombed and her sister ships crews' on USS Hornet and USS Yorktown go out and avenge USS Enterprise at the battle of Midway
I guarantee you people are going to be pissed because USS Enterprise wasn't bombed at Pearl Harbor and USS Enterprise is the most decorated warship at the end of WWII
Fucking think asshole
Brühl got screwed by not getting an Academy Award nomination....he was spot on - 100% nailed it
Daniel Bruhl looked acted, walked, and behaved like Niki Lauda. He was a real clone of Lauda.
It's "Brühl", not "Bruhl".
... and Daniel Brühl's nose was not sufficiently hooked and his cheeks were too chubby, but in the end the movie was great as well as his performance.
@@tubekulose Jeez dude, American keyboards don't have a way to add the umlaut. Would you settle for Bruehl? :P
Nose, cheeks, whatever. His teeth were perfect! The whole cast in this film bore great likenesses to the real people they represented, at least the ones I'm familiar with, more so than in any other biopic I've seen. AND they nail the personalities. Hunt wasn't a perfect physical likeness, but man he played the part, and he had that deep, posh, dry voice down! ("I shall be getting drunk.")
I've wondered why they didn't have at least an abstract Jackie Stewart character in this film, if only for the scene of the Cevert/Koinigg mashup crash. Leaving out any reference at all to Jackie Stewart is a big hole in this film to me. I wonder if Sir Jackie asked not to be a part of the film, or to be represented in it. I think Ron Howard would have respected that. I think seeing a reconstruction of that kind of crash would have been very, very painful to Jackie. If I saw my close friend dead in that condition, life could never be the same for me. Jackie has always been a strong and courageous man, and a wise man.
And hansome
Some people need to travel the world and look at different keyboards. Or change their nitpicking.
The Niki Lauda in the movie sounded just like the real Niki Lauda
yup, i keep hearing that one line "And I am being serious now too....F*** YOU" could hear Niki saying that
i agree. almost identical
Yes I agree, he should be in more movies I think. Underrated actor.
I am from Austria. We speak German, but not in the way like Germans do. It is similar to English in England and Ireland. It is very hard for Germans to speak Austrian German, so Daniel Brühl did really a great job in the movie.
nice, my father is Austrian as well so i'm familiar with the way he talks and our friends from over there. I have a hard time identifying his accent with guys like Lauda because i'm so used to his accent, it just sounds like normal english to me, but it is in fact probably pretty close to Lauda's accent.
Rush was a great movie. Lauda came off as a likable and very driven asshole. Nothing wrong with that.
Anoni.mouse same so he came off like himself
To be a champion racer, you need to be a bit of a dick. Niki was a legend! RIP.
That's one of the reasons I liked this film so much. They didn't make anyone out to be a villain, the two drivers just had different attitudes. Just like how good Lemans was for the same reason. Driven was a prime example of how NOT to do a racing movie.
@A C H it was a shit movie, but due to the story. It was implied to be about Formula 1, but they had to use Indy cars cos FIA woudn't let them anywhere near as the script was so terrible. They tried to include as many F1 things as they could though, like team boss in wheelchair, drivers stopping on track to save stricken friends etc. but the story was silly., the CGI pretty bad and unnecessary and the acting pretty bad.
@@jirkaprochazka530 Indy/Champcar CART . It got confusing then and I'm British so never watched it anyway. Was that when CART and Indy Both existed at the same time?
I bet Lauda's only regret here is the fact he could not share this movie with Hunt. At least once... Long live Niki!
Not trying to be rude but this didn't age well....
@@arftrooper44 They probably watched the movie together in racing heaven. Or maybe they just to busy racing each other in their old Formula Cars. :)
@@Maximilianboenicke they're at Suzuka fighting for that '76 championship
@@Maximilianboenicke I wonder if the f1 cars in heaven are perfect racing machines unlike anything weve seen or if their still mortal machines that require angel pit crews or something lol
@@numberonemoo3204 I like to think that they are still subjected to damage and technical issues since those things are part of racing
Listening to Niki Lauda, its amazing how Daniel Bruhl act much like Niki. Both are great gentleman !
It's "Brühl", not "Bruhl"
English keyboards don't have umlaut keys.
@@benn454 ISO Layout does have it, and when not... you can always use the numerical keyboard for it.
@@ChuyGl89 which people don't know by heart. No need to act like an ass, just let it go.
My sister’s name has an umlaut but I can’t find it anywhere on the iPhone keyboard.
Not only is this an awesome interview but it's in spa and the cars flying down before entering eau rouge!
Not sure what you're trying to say there in the latter end of your comment.... but I do have to admit, this interview was awesome!!!
"Eau rouge" is one of the most iconic track corners on the F1 circuit, a huge stretch of downhill land going into an upwards corkscrew that an F1 car can take flat out (without decelerating).
good looks, thanks for clarifying!
15273 84625 look it up you will be impressed!!
Spa turn 1. The hardest turn 1 of all circuits
What an unforgettable legend. My deepest condolences to close friends and his family.
Niki Lauda has the most inspirational story for an athlete, 1975 he won the F1 championship, 1976 he was involved in one of the worst crashes in motorsport history, finished the season and was 1 point shy of the championship, 1977 won the championship again.
Those 3 years cemented Niki as a legend in F1, his 3rd championship only added to his legacy
And ... Niki Lauda came in 1974 to Ferrari ... driving 1st season ... was "Qualifiying-Worldchampion" in the 1st Ferrari - ONLY THE TECHNICAL BROKE-DOWNS stopped Niki taking F1-WORLD-CHAMPION in this 1st Ferraris-Season! Then 1975 - World-Champion! Then 1976 without the accident for sure also World-Champion! Then 1977! The superb year of brilliance! 1978 - if he would stayed at Ferrari for sure again World-Champion! So - what I want to add to your nice file: 1974 - 1978 NIKI LAUDA for sure THE MAN OF FORMULA 1! Like Jochen Rindt - so many experts talking in highest notes about NIKI LAUDA SUPERSTAR! I met him! I made business with Niki Lauda! He was sponsor of my sports projects in 1988 and later in 1996 in BADMINTON! I will always love and adore this great man!
I was lucky to be there to see him win at Hockenheim in '77, a great race and a memory that's lasted!
Haha there no bloody key! Lol
they could have at least got that bit right! hollywood,what can i say?
"Are you nuts?"
Wouldn't even surprise if the Hollywood character who wrote the script thought they had paddle shift gearboxes back then
Daniel Bruhl is one of the best actors, there, i said it
bruh
Petko Krushev how daring of you.
Everytime i saw him act in a movie, i remember him angry as Frederick Zoller on Inglorious Basterds hahahah
It's "Brühl", not "Bruhl"
Thiago Felipe de Oliveira haha thats what I saw him as...you can't unthink that
It was a great movie. The only part that was difficult to watch for me was the medical treatment after the fire. Almost got an anxiety attack with that. The best part was when he drove with his girlfriend/wife and the two Italians in the old sedan. That was epic. :).
that part with the italians and his futur wife was part of the 20 % ;)
His accident was an accident or a sabotage?
@@carolinagonzalezs. Accident. The crash was either because of a bump on the track damaged the car or Niki losing control.
Juan Loera those ferraris were death machines
@@justintrites1699 What wasn't a death machine back then?
A little known story which Niki repeats in this interview.Many years after they stopped racing Niki met James in London,James was down on his luck financial problems,disheveled not in a good place.Niki gave him some money,Bollocked him,told him to pull himself together he did the act of a friend not just a competitor.a great man RIP Niki
my favorite part was without a doubt when Niki met his wife. I assume this was a Hollywood invention, but to me it is one of the best scenes of any movie ever. Those Italian dudes were awesome!
As a (part) Italian, i can confirm this was part of the 80% :D
@@Amyante Nope, it's from the 20 %
That sadly was one of the 20%
Yeah I loved that
I loved his wife throughout the movie, supportive and gave niki a sense of humility I think is the best description
4:15 bwoah..
i hope they jeep this tradition in f1, for many years to come
5:20 one more!
Aha!! Kimi in Merc in 2018..you figured it out
86 like for a post where's only written bwoah? ... bwoah!
Alex 967 well that's every f1 video comment section. Anyone following f1 will know 😁
One thing you can always count on with Niki...honesty! You will never wonder where you stand with him.
Exactly. I think from time to time he could be tough to work with, but you would always know where you had him and he would be 100% honest.
80% right and 20% risk, not 1% more
I saw the movie. I saw Niki at Mosport, Ontario, Canada back in the day. Daniel Bruhl in my opinion was exactly, precisely as I remembered Niki. Niki said it best when he said that he had no friends, he sure wasn't likeable but he was worthy of admiration. The world is a better place because Niki was in it.
Hunt was an irreverent bastard but he genuinely likes Nikki, they were real friends. RIP James.
Now they are reunited ☺ now that's a conversation I would love to hear.
Hunt was a damn good driver though. Even Niki himself respected him and his skills. He earned that 1976 title, especially in that Japanese Grand Prix since it really did downpour that bad. Took balls to drive in that shit, when even Niki backed out.
Blackflame24 I totally agree!
Rush is one hell of a movie & Niki Lauda is one hell of a man! A Legend for sure!
As a dutchman, I really appreciate Mr. Lauda's honesty, directness and knowledge. No small talk, just directly to the point.
One of the best casted movies I've ever seen. Easily a movie I could watch again right after the credits roll. Less than 5 movies I can say that about in my life.
Not too often you see a movie that makes you forget it's just a movie!
2:47
I love the way the actor portrayed him. He got the accent down so well, it sounds like Lauda is actually imitating Daniel Brühl imitating Lauda.
Even though there are some inaccuracies, the movie did so much right : have us care about F1 and its history.
And that's something, given that while Brühl is multinational, what he's NOT is Austrian, and a German mimicking an Austrian accent can very easily descend into caricature.
That part in Rush when Nikki and his girl breakdown on the road and then those 2 guys drive by and stop, not bcuz of his girl sticking her leg out,....but bcuz they recognize Nikki! PRICELESS!!
wow 80% is great for a action movie it's usually 40%
I was thinking the same thing
Bryce Valdez the fiery crash looked and felt 100%
Bryce Valdez it's more of a dramatization than an action flick
It's a drama more than an action
For a movie that's not a documentary or docudrama it's near perfect.
The movie is good but is not long enough. I want more
They should make a modern F1 historical drama 👍🏾
A movie about the history of Senna vs Prost competition would be good.
I agree, that story could've been made much longer and still been amazing
True. I just never wanted it to end lol
Yes. I w/h liked some more racing. Likely too dangerous and too expensive to reproduce in a realistic way.
This guy deserves respect for doing what he did, returning from an accident where a priest took his last unction and still being as competitive as ever. This is not for everyone, his biography is undoubtedly amazing starting with having rejected his father's wealth for his F1 dream. An icon of motorsport.
I'm glad he said the part where James and him talked at the end, at least the notion of it, was accurate. I'd love it regardless but that in itself is pretty cool.
Listening to Niki critique the making of Rush is pure magic. It's like being able to hear and understand the thoughts of a dog or cat talk about their owners. Awesome!
Yup. That's the magic of Hans Zimmer.
Hooman Dario was literally going to write that the second he compared listening to it without music vs. With music :’)
@@iplayeddsharpminor That's exactly what electric racing looks compared to petrol engines racing. FIA, take note !
80% right? Have to say I'm a little disappointed in Niki
The Niki of old would have have been far more precise
"The movie was 79.85% right"
Stu Saville lol
Stu Saville Lol, I thought this was going somewhere.
We can add the real proportion is 4/5🐀
Percentages... important
😂😂😂😂😂 you win mate!
What an incredible legend Lauda was, and will always be. Not having him around is an enormous loss, as if there is a big chunk of Formula One missing. I believe Daniel Brühl did a very good job portraying the great Niki Lauda, and when he did the post accident scenes, especially speaking German, the resemblance was quite remarkable. I am proud to have seen Niki Lauda race in front of my eyes in all the teams he raced, from 1973 to 1984.
I want him to drive my car and tell me what's wrong with it
It's a piece of junk...short and sweet!
It's terrible, drives like a pig!
@@Vettel_Fanboy_KW Oh you can't say that
@@3AMNE Why not?
@@Vettel_Fanboy_KW IT'S A FERRARI!
Such a touching movie! I’ve watched so many times and still I get the same feelings and tension. And he seems like a great person, same with the character in the movie!!
RIP Niki Lauda! He will be missed
RIP to a legend of F1, and sport in general.
"There is no bloody key in a Ferrari" lol
Daniel bruh performance was ...bwoahly good
It's "Brühl", not "Bruh".
@@tubekulose You're quite pedantic aren't you...
@@tacitus5665 Yes!
Awesome interview, with a very complex, fascinating man.
It's incredible that this guy was so good that he still had the chance the win the 1976 championship despite not having been able to race for a long time due to his accident and then retired from the last race due to the horrible conditions of the track.
My son watched this movie at least five times with different friends in the theatres, he absolutely loved it. He watches it now too. RIP Niki Lauda 🌹
RIP Niki...you'll never be forgotten...thank you for everything !...
"the most difficult thing is that you are alive" lol
i get that every morning
this didn’t age well
It's good to hear the real Lauda give his approval of Rush. I really enjoyed it and it made me look into the history of both himself in and Hunt.
It was very well done in the end . Lauda had 1 woman from memory. Fans were interested in motor racing. I was young but remember the Japanese Grand Prix in 1976, what a race that was with James accepting that Lauda had handed him the race after it. But he was stoked it was an incredible race .
These are a great set of interviews with Niki Lauda. Intelligent questioning, which obviously Niki appreciates and so has a rapport with you. Rush is a great motorsport movie in my opinion and the scene Niki picks out is one of my favourites for being so touching about how differently they live their lives, yet both can see the other's point of view; one living fast in every sense and experiencing as much as he can as quickly as he can, the other wanting to win, but more importantly survive and continue to enjoy life. It's clear Niki is a highly intelligent man and so no doubt doesn't suffer fools. He used that intelligence when racing and clearly still does. I am old enough to remember watching F1 when both James and Niki were racing and think both Daniel Brühl and Chris Hemsworth did a really good job of capturing their personalities and mannerisms.
Andrew Moorhouse yeah, the ending was such a beautiful “climax” of the film (not in the sense of action, but really getting the final piece to understand their relationships). Throughout the movie it was presented as the juxtaposition of friendship and rivalry - but in the end you truly are able to see, how well they understand each other despite all their differences. They are Formula 1 race drivers (at a time with a much higher kill rate compared to modern Formula 1 - and they have this unique common ground being together in such a dangerous sport, that we as viewers can only bare grasp, but are allowed a small insight into how it affects them.
At least that was pretty much the impression I left with, after watching it the first time.
I was lucky enough to meet James Hunt at the 77 British Grand Prix. I was unable to get anywhere near Lauda though. Great movie and it was a great time for F1.
As a German and growing up with watching niki racing, Daniel did a great work
I like listening to him. He describes his emotions clearly. It makes them easy to imagine
An example to the world, in and out of FI.
Thank you Niki for all you gave to us. RIP, my hero!
He's mine as well..
ive just watched it and loved it.. I used to watch these two rivals and they were great..what got me more was Laudas courage. It was fantastic to see him come back after what happened to him..every time I seen him race after that..Id smile and be happy he was back..
What a wonderful interview! Interesting insights into Lauda's thinking and perspective.
Unbelieveble that he is gone now, rest in peace legend.
Back when F1 was great and the cars were driven by real men. As Hunt said in the movie "The cars were flying coffins".
Rush is definitely atleast one of the best racing movies of all time. It is still broadcasted on our free channels rather regularly and even though I have already seen it 5 times atleast it's still a blast to watch every time.
RIP Niki and James!
Man you are a really good interviewer , its like you are reading my mind when asking him these questions
Niki sir you are a great man to embrace your actor as a friend to help him. So sweet of you to bring him to a race with you.
Very frank, very straight, telling it like it is. Niki YOU are amazing! An inspiration to all. Bless you! Long live Niki! One of the best, the very best driver that ever lived.
I can read in his eyes he still misses Hunt nowadays
Niki is my favorite F1 driver. Not when he was driving but later in life. Great man, honest and principled. Rare today.
Nice to hear Niki’s thoughts and the inputs he had into this film. Good video.
I watched this movie the other day as it was on tv and I have to say it was epic. I never thought I would enjoy it, but I really enjoyed it and the acting was perfect.
RIP Niki. You were incredible
Great interview, Graham…and your reserved style of interviewing makes you unique.
This Bensinger should be an inspiration to all the journalists in the world. I know you are for me. Congrats, man. Listening, smiling, hit!
Niki Lauda! Niki Lauda!! Niki Lauda!!!
I love the sound of the racecars in the background of this interview!
I have to watch "Rush" once again......I love the respect these rivals had for each other.....a true life drama and so sad at the same time.
As an American racing fan who grew up with a family that revered a driver named A.J. Foyt, the greatest in American open-wheel history, I can say that Lauda seems like a cross between Foyt and Spock from Star Trek: as cerebral as a Vulcan, but an always-tell-it-like-it-is badass who absolutely dominated his racing world during the height of his career. Had we been one continent over, I guarantee we would've thought the world of him, and all the more for his success AFTER the mind-numbingly horrific Nurburgring accident. It's one thing to be great once you've finally climbed the mountain, it's another to get swept to the bottom in an avalanche and claw your way back to #1 by your literally bloody fingernails.
Given those intangibles, he has to be mentioned in any conversation of the greatest of all time.
So happy Lauda was alive to help make such a great movie. Can't imagine it being nearly as good without his input
the niki lauda in this interview looks like the real niki lauda!
seijisan Jaden, is that you ?
It is
lmao
Watched Rush years ago but about a month ago I watched the Netflix F1 documentary and a bunch of F1 stuff on TH-cam and became a fan. Last few days I've been watching interviews with Niki. What a interesting man and career he had. Sorry to hear of him passing away. I might of not been a fan before but I am now. The parts of him talking about people just wanting to see his burns got me because I have 3rd degree burns also and got made fun of as a kid. I can care less now though. Its just apart of me.
I love the honesty! It's so rare these days to encounter a man who tells it like it is!
he never let himself down, singularly driven he could see the technical details of everything... his life was a series of little victories whilst James was constantly after the single prize of life ... fun
The legend :-) And movie is great.
Excelente película me encantó el final como se expresa descansen en paz los dos pilotos
I watched the movie on Netflix last night, and having lived through the 70's, they guy who played Lauder is just incredible, he looked and acted just like him, I remember Lauder's awful accident, and his return to the track, and the worlds shock at his horrendous burns, many people have commented that it is sad that he is no longer with us, having seen the accident at the time, I just think that it is beyond belief that he lived so long after the crash, he survived many of his contemporaries....a life well lived.
The interviewer got some balls sitting with his legs crossed in Niki's presence
lol right doesnt he have an idea how rude that is???!!?
this is so great, even the fact that the movie Rush is so amazing is because of Niki's involvement in the little details. Nikki Lauda is a legend, I would like to shake his hand.
It still makes me tear up thinking he’s gone
Wonderful interview. Thanks.
the end scene of rush is genuinely beautiful.
Daniel brühl was amazing...
awesome interview, i love how they got the f1 cars in the background but of course its not disrupting the interview there v6's hahahahahahahahaha
One of The Great's N.L.
R.I.P. James Hunt, Great times.
The man's airlines was involved in a crash and he personally went out his way to figure out what went wrong. That sir is the highest form of "customer service" I've ever seen.
...and knew the cause of the crash, verified by the final accident report. The failure of the reverse thrusters to function properly. TK
RIP Niki. The actor playing him really did a fantastic job.
THIS INTERVIEW IS OUTSTANDING! I GUESS IT WOULD BE SENSATIONAL TO LISTEN NIKI LAUDA ABOUT 24 HOURS IN A ROW! NIKI LAUDA WILL BE UN-FORGOTTEN! NO WONDER! AND YES - THE MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL! AND YES - THE BATTLE JAMES HUNT VS NIKI LAUDA WAS AND IS EPIC FOR ALL TIMES! (NIKI HAD ANOTHER SUPER HARD FIGHT LATER IN 1984 vs ALAIN PROST ...)
This man is a REAL man. Reminds me of my father. No bull, lots of passion color his work.
Movie was 80% right but acting of Daniel Bruhl was 120% right.
"There's no bloody key in the Ferrari"
One of the best movies I have ever seen. Watched is the second time tomorrow and I can watch it again and again. Hats off to niki lauda 😊
what a compliment & from NL? thats truly as good as it gets!
I wish more people acted like Niki Lauda. Dude tells you straight up what he thinks and can back it up.
The blue model Mercedes car transporter on the shelf is the same one Jay Leno restored, I think.
Jay couldn't get the original, so bought the one a Swedish guy made one. Mercedes crushed the original. th-cam.com/video/Ywwo9RVtIwI/w-d-xo.html
And that modelcar is expensive as hell
As Mr.Lauda said, for me also the BEST of the whole Movie is the growing friendship to J.Hunt......very touching in the End (had tears in my eyes).....also the sad reality that this great guy had to pass away so damn soon ! :(.... Special Story for me is that my Dad had been there as a spectator at that special Day at the Nürburgring(accident of Lauda), and i was only 5 years old that time....but the fascination for Motorsports has become a part of my life, and i´m sharing this passion with my Dad by still visiting Motorsport events with him today.....:)
Incredible story! Thank you for sharing
Mr. Lauda is a true motorsport legend; gone but never forgotten. Forza Niki Lauda
