This review is more to give correct info on automotive part of movie. Which was filmed in 1970! This movie has main characters Robert Blake's car, Which is one of only a handful, made through George Barris Customs Shop '67 Plymouth Barracuda SXB Formula S Fastback! These were offered to public! This had the endorsement of Chrysler-Plymouth Division for Limited Production Car Field etc. It is a 383ci 4 speed Formula S Fastback with power steering, power brakes, it has a full-width taillight lens with sequential turn signals that had red white and blue stripe that runs around circumference of trunk! Outside exhaust that could be hooked up if permitted by the state you lived in, Flame-Thrower road lights are installed in flat-black-finished modified grille opening, and the park lights are moved to lower valance. The whole car is painted in pearlescent blue and contrasting candy blue, red white and blue accent stripes help set off this pleasingly restyled SXB Barracuda.
As said This had Endorsement of Chrysler-Plymouth Division for limited car field! The original prototype for the SXB had short in height spoiler-wing built into tail but all others of small number built had like the high tail-wing of the later Dodge Daytona And Plymouth Superbird Wings on the back as seen in the movie car.
There was also a Barracuda SXB used in an episode of the TV show "Knight Rider"- the "19th Hole" season 3 episode 16 from 1985 but this one had a completely different taillight setup! But was definitely one of these Ultra Rare Cars! One of which is still around and shown here and there at certain car shows around the country maybe you have had the privilege to see this Cool Rare Factory Endorsed Custom that was offered starting with the '67 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback! I don't know if any Notchbacks Are Convertibles were given this treatment but the auto-world always has surprises! An original story article was done on this car offering in "Motor Trend" magazine by Steve Kelly on Barracuda '67 model Limited Production of the George Barris SXB Barracuda.
This is a largely unknown movie that actually is significant like other car themed movies and just happens to use a rarity as main character car in movie and should therefore be in all car themed movie lists and ratings but sadly isn't! As it has yet to be offered in legitimate Letterbox Widescreen form from TCM, WHICH I believe holds the rights to this significant automobile themed movie. We would hope the owner of this movie would do it justice with an official legitimate WIDESCREEN release of this Forgotten Gem! The movie in itself, ignoring the automotive side, is acted and done well by all involved and is actually worth watching for a good portrayal of the way some people are! Robert Blakes Character just seems to get into all kinds of situations and trouble! I'd love to have a DVD WIDESCREEN VERSION of this lost classic! Which just happens to have a Cool Rare Factory Endorsed Custom or two in it! Cars were made by Richard "Korky" Korkes who also did '65 conversion of original '55 Lincoln "Futura" concept car to the well known "Bat Mobile" that went recently for $4.3 Million! At auction! It seems like this movie and main character might have been named after Richard "Korky" Korkes name but with a C of course! This movie also has an attractive Charlotte Rampling, Patrick O'Neal and has some real life NASCAR Racers and also know by the alternate title "Looking Good" I hope this clears up misinformation on the car at least used in this movie.
