Sometimes the distance between glory and just competing is only a Split Second. When the modern day gladiators of motorsport lined up for the start of the British Superbike season in 2014, only one man would emerge victorious. Titles are won in a split second by a flash of bravery and guile; or lost in the blink of an eye by a moment of madness or misjudgement. Niall Mackenzie narrates the latest epic in the I Superbiker franchise as Split Second captures the fantastic spectacle and numbing heartache that is British Superbikes with riders living their life on the edge of either glory or losing their ride next season. Shakey Byrne, James Ellison, Tommy Bridewell and Josh Brookes star in this real-life version of Need For Speed. This must-see latest installment in the I Superbiker franchise was awarded 5 stars by Motor Cycle News.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
