The Hollywood motion picture film Snake & Mongoose, based on the real life story of drag racing legends Don “The Snake” Prudhomme and Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen and their bitter rivalry-turned-friendship and historic business partnership, debuted on the big screen last fall with a red carpet premiere in Indianapolis before spreading to select theaters across the country, including Reno, Los Angeles, Detroit, and other markets. But for those who didn’t get the chance to see the drag racing-themed drama play out on the silver screen, the film will soon become available to audiences around the world, Anchor Bay Films, a subsidiary of Starz!, has announced.
