I happened upon "Dill Scallion" late one night on one of the pay channels and have never laughed so hard. To describe it in one phrase I would call it a Country Spinal Tap. It has the same mocku-mentary style. The acting was great, but most of the songs were terrible (or was that part of the joke?) I place this film up there with "Spinal Tap" and "Fear of a Black Hat"

Vanishing Point
(1997 TV Movie)
What a waste of time...
13 July 2001
First off, what the hell were they thinking casting Jason Priestly as "Super Soul"? I think Clevon Little was dead already but of all the actors to play his part they really blew it. The movie was too "PC". The original Kowalski was "hopped up on goofballs" for the entire film. This guy actually had a REASON to be speeding across the countryside, whereas Barry Newman made a stupid bet after scoring some of the aforementioned "goofballs" The only redeeming thing in the film was the automobiles The Charger was cool and save for the engine the Challenger was PERFECT.
