"You're mine now, clown"

Recently, I watched Smokey and the Bandit, which is one of the most entertaining car chase movies ever to be released, even though it is some decades old by this point. This film basically follows the same formula, and will appear to be essentially a ripoff of that film at first glance. Believe it or not, this one came out first, but wasn't that well received and was swept under the rug pretty fast. The movie begins with two guys aspiring to be NASCAR drivers, Larry and his friend Deke (Peter Fonda and Adam Roarke respectively) managing to steal a large amount of money from a supermarket by blackmailing the manager, Mr Stanton (Roddy McDowall) and holding his wife and daughter hostage. When Larry and Deke exit and get into their 1966 Chevy Impala to get away with the money, they run into Mary (Susan George), a girl who Larry has known for less than a full day (but has already had sexual relations with). Something in Larry's plan goes awry, and Mr. Stanton is able to figure out that calling his wife, which Larry ordered him not to do, only results in a prerecorded message playing over the phone, threatening him. Knowing Larry and his friend have already escaped, Stanton calls the cops. The police captain, Everett Franklin (Vic Morrow) is determined to catch Larry by any means necessary, and sends waves of cars to chase him down. Larry's Impala easily outpaces the cop cars, who get left in the dust, spun out of control, or end up falling into lakes trying to catch up with him. During the chases, Mary and Larry end up fighting with each other, with the latter forcing her to almost leave the operation at one point. However, she is later forced to rejoin him as the cops are looking for her too on a shoplifting charge. Meanwhile, Franklin gets increasingly frustrated as report after report comes in on his radio explaining how Larry's driving skills are too much for his officers to handle. In order to throw off the police (if only for a moment), Larry and the others swap the Impala at a flea market for a lime Dodge Charger. Franklin eventually rides in the passenger seat of a helicopter in order to pursue Larry, and Mary uses the radio to pose as Franklin's headquarters advisor, telling him (and all the other police in the dragnet) that Larry's car has been located far away from his actual position. Larry seizes the opportunity and speeds out of his hiding place, and is now driving in a large grid of walnut trees. Franklin's helicopter has a more difficult time spotting Larry's car in this environment. At one point, a patrol car with a modified engine manages to close the gap on Larry, and it appears he has met his match. Larry still manages to escape after the cop car has a telephone pole dropped on its hood. Finally deciding to settle this thing himself, Franklin orders the helicopter pilot to get as close to Larry as he can, saying he should ram him if that's what it takes. The chopper pursues Larry through many different roads, but is ultimately forced to back off for fear of running out of fuel. Finally appearing as though they've been victorious, Larry and the others speed away from the rest of their pursuers, but completely out of nowhere, a freight train smashes into the front of the Charger and turns it into a blazing wreck. Larry and his friends are dead, by his own hand. While this film may not be as polished or funny as Smokey and the Bandit, it does have several aspects that stand out when compared to it. For one thing, the stunts in this movie seemed a lot more dangerous to me, and they're shocking to experience because I assume they're all real. The part where Morrow's helicopter chases Larry just feet above the ground is a good example of this. Power lines don't need to be turned on to pose a threat to aircraft. We see cars get smashed through billboards, thrown into lakes, and have their doors sheared off while trying to chase Larry. The characters in this movie are a big reason why I don't consider it as good as Burt Reynolds' movie, as Mary is quite annoying, which also applies to Fonda's character. He taunts her every chance he gets, and even though I just said she's obnoxious, I didn't like to see her die a horrible, violent death because of his driving. She even almost left him at one point, so it was very possible for her to make it out alive. To be frank, I only watched this movie for one reason, and if you look at the list of cast members, you'll probably know what it is. I found it eerily coincidental how Vic Morrow is seen in a helicopter for a good part of the film, when he was killed in an infamous accident involving a helicopter while making a Twilight Zone movie in the early 1980s. Horrifically, Morrow apparently said (while working on this film) that he felt he would someday be killed by a helicopter, years before the thing that killed him. Either way, I felt his performance was probably the best thing about this movie, even if the southern accent he tries to put on doesn't really fit, especially if you're used to seeing him as Sergeant Saunders. Either way, this movie was exciting once it got going, even if it took a while to. And my god, that ending.

Great movie

This is an excellent, fun, fast moving cops 'n robbers car chase movie. Susan George is great (she's done a few car chases hasn't she, I'm thinking Eyewitness?) I do wonder why she hasn't done too many movies. Adam Roarke is good too as Peter Fonda's sidekick.

If you like fast cars and surprise endings, this is a good movie to watch. The surprise ending to this is so unexpected, nobody could've seen it coming. the most surprisingest surprise ending.

i give this movie 10 out of 10

"Mister..., we got us some problems."

This appears to be one of those pictures where the reviewers who love and hate the movie both acknowledge that it's generally bad, cinematically speaking. The dialog is trite and the characters are a mess, and the film that's wrapped around them tends to be pretty much one big chase scene. Peter Fonda obviously didn't mind cashing in his chips at the end of his films, as he followed up 1969's "Easy Rider" by going out in a blaze of glory in this one. There's nothing that really sets one up for that moment, so when it happens you're left looking at the screen wondering how and why the film makers treated their characters in such an ignominious way. But then I answer my own question by re-reading what I wrote just a few sentences back and it all becomes much clearer. I guess if hot rods and hot babes are your thing, this movie might pose some interest, but if so, I'd take the advice of Fonda's 'Crazy Larry' and hook up with Robert Mitchum in 1958's "Thunder Road". Now there's a bad boy.
