| Parallax ViewRichard T. Jameson... probably the most slaphappily endearing low comedy since Russ Meyer's The Seven Minutes. |
| User ReviewPrivate Upretty entertaining,if you liked the dukes of hazzard, you would like this. |
| User ReviewRoy Nbut in the day david Carradine was like the B-Movie Burt Reynolds, this flick proves it. |
| User ReviewMatthewDavid Carradine had only recently left TV and KUNG-FU behind him and Kate Jackson was on a break from CHARLIES ANGELS when they starred in this good-ol-boy action movie that features Carradine as an independent driver hauling moonshine going up against his larger mob-backed competition (namely his lady love Jackson's daddy and his goons). So everyone's accent takes on a south-of-the Mason-Dixon twang (except for the New Jersey muscle who show up later on in the film), there are lots of car chases along dirt roads with various souped-up V8-powered American cars, and Carradine beats the s**t out of anyone stupid enough to get in his way. Inspired by the Burt Reynolds movie GATOR, films like this led to TV's DUKES OF HAZZARD. I docked this one one star for that, but added it back in because Carradine wasin the film. |
| User ReviewGreg Wanother moonshine running movie but be warned this not 'thunder road' with robert mitchem |
| User Reviewwild willie nlight-weight mindless fun that's basically DUKES OF HAZZARD meets SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. |
| User ReviewMichelle A1970s moonshine running film billed as 250 proof fun but that is probably an overstatement by about 200. Liked the cast but I'm just not into endless series of car chases, crashes, and cars driving through things to a banjo score. |
| User ReviewFrank MThis movie was hilarious! The whole crocodile in the church cracked me up along with the banjo music and hilbilly theme throughout the movie. Very entertaining. Not the greatest acting, but still entertaining. |
| User ReviewGregory WSome decent car chases, otherwise long and blah. David Carradine was so unappealing in it. |
