Will I watch it again? No.
I'm not into cars so much but I'm totally into 1970s drive-in car flicks. Jack Vacek (the cinematographer on GONE IN 60 SECONDS (1974)) wrote and directed this picture. On movies like this the only thing you expect to be good are the car chases and stunts and he delivers. The rest of the movie is OK, though, and not so bad that you're cringing every few minutes in between naps. It's not a boring movie but it does drag sometimes. The chases are pretty good and long (yay!). There's one that has a cop chasing one of our main guys down a series of concrete stairs. I was freaking out concerned about the muscle car not getting beat up. I got a little into it for that scene. It was cool. The acting is alright, all things considered. It kind of helped that a lot of these people weren't professional actors. It added a little something real to the picture. There were a bunch of these types of flicks during the decade and a lot of them get swept under the rug because they were too dumb. This one has a decent story with all the trimmings for a fun night at the drive-in...except for nudity. There isn't any and that's just sad.
