Lonnie "Lucky Man" Johnson... Though known for his thinking-person's horror flicks, director David Cronenberg provides a realistic, compelling portrait of the race car circuit in FAST COMPANY. Lonnie "Lucky Man" Johnson (William Smith) knows that his sponsor, Fast Company Motor Oil, wants to let him go in favor of a younger, edgier image and spokesperson. As Johnson, the company representative (John Saxon), and Johnson's girlfriend Sammy (Claudia Jennings, in her last role before her untimely death), navigate through a web of competition, greed, and octane, Cronenberg presents an astonishingly detailed drama that gets to the heart of fame and the American dream.

Reviews for Fast Company
Fast Company may not be much more than a footnote in Cronenberg's career, but this disc is a must-own for followers of his work.
Most of his movies center solidly on people, yet the players in Fast Company take second stage to the smell of grease and the roar of engines.
Fast Company, trifling little exploitation movie that it is, fits in quite comfortably with David Cronenberg’s body of work.
Fast Company provides everything that a drive in movie about cars is expected to produce.
