Used Cars (1980)
6/10
A Great Comedy.......in only 28 days
2 March 2005
Kurt Russell stars in this early 80's comedy with an amazing supporting cast. Many familiar faces from the 70's and 80's including Jack Warden, Gerrit Graham, Frank McRae and President Jimmy Carter. Although this was a major production, this was shot in just 28 days. While more of the films of this large of cast and budget were shot in 40-60-100 days, Used Cars took less than a month to produce. A wonderful satire on salesmen and political candidates, the movie attempts to show the comparison and does so. The final climax with the western style chase scene through the Arizona desert is right out of a John Wayne movie. It raps the entire movie up in a wonderful package filled with comedy and a good ending. One of the better comedies of the early 80's.
