Have seen a lot of road movies, mostly classics I never heard of this one. But due watching Fast And Loud I ran into an episode were the Corvette used in this flick was bought by Gasmonkey Garage. so the hunt for this flick was on, easy to find o DVD.
The first thing that I found awkward was the main lead done by Mark Hamill who just came out of Star Wars (1977) as Luke Skywalker. It's so strange to see him come from a blockbuster to this drive-in flick.
The story is rather simple, a Corvette re-build by Kenneth (Mark). Once the Corvette is stolen he goes out to find it and come across Vanessa (Annie Potts) who is a hooker. together they go after the missing Corvette. Story wise it isn't that special but what makes it worth seeing are all the muscle cars passing by and of course old Vegas with casinos long gone like Stardust and Dunes. Not only that, you will see Fremont street with the original cowboy.
Another thing is the fact that you will see billboards all over Las Vegas promoting Dean martin, on the other hand you will see Brion James at the start of his career. So worth picking up and still enjoyable for all those reasons.
