CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

dworldeater Used Cars is an early comedy cult classic by the team of writer Bob Gale and director Robert Zemeckis. This film is also produced by John Milius and Steven Spielberg. All of these people I have just mentioned are some of the most talented(and successful)to have worked on films in Hollywood and are responsible for several blockbusters and classic movies. Kurt Russell is on top of his game as Rudy Russo, a crooked, but charming used car salesman that is about to expand his skills to a greater calling, politics. Used Cars is a very wild and raunchy comedy, but with heart, great writing and great characters. The cast is outstanding in this and has some really hilarious and excellent performances by Kurt Russell, Jack Warden doing double duty as the feuding Fuch brothers, Frank McRae, plus Lenny and Squiggy and Grandpa Munster. Used Cars is very original and smart comedy that is totally unhinged and balls out. Used Cars is a great comedy that I discovered later on and in my opinion this is one of Kurt's best films and in my opinion, this film and Kurt's family comedy classic Overboard. are just as good. However,both films are very different and Used Cars was strictly made for adults.

valleycapfan This classic was largely overlooked back in 1980, due to a botched release and competition from Airplane! Even 35 years later, it still provides huge laughs and is a great vehicle for a then-young Kurt Russell. Truly raunchy, but not gratuitously so, this is definitely a movie for guys (and maybe some women who have a good sense of humor) and takes advantage of the era before political correctness took over(think Blazing Saddles). The supporting cast is terrific (including "Toby" the dog), the faux commercials are priceless, and the wild ending unforgettable, regardless of the silliness of it all.One last thing: if you get the DVD, definitely watch the movie with the commentary by Kurt Russell, Bob Gale, and Bob Zemenkis. It's by far the best commentary I've seen for any movie and is nearly as funny as the movie itself. The fact that it was made 20 years after the movie was released means they have fun pointing out the films technical flaws and back stories.

SnoopyStyle Rudy Russo (Kurt Russell) is an unscrupulous used car salesman of a rundown lot owned by Luke Fuchs (Jack Warden). Rudy wants to run for State Senate. Luke is willing to lend him the $10k needed as long he promises to help him keep his lot from his brother Roy (Jack Warden). Roy owns the lot across the street, and has tried buying off the mayor and sending in the Consumer Protection Agency. He even tries to kill Luke by sending in somebody to scare him to death. The scheme actually works and Rudy hides Luke's body with the help of Jeff (Gerrit Graham) and Jim (Frank McRae). They pretend that Luke is going to Florida. Rudy starts doing crazy schemes pirating the big football game broadcast, having strippers, and breaking into a presidential broadcast. Then Luke's estranged daughter Barbara (Deborah Harmon) shows up.This is the start of a great run by Robert Zemeckis. This is hilarious starting with the outrageous boob shot in the pirated commercial. Kurt Russell is doing great. The wacky schemes are mostly funny. It just needs an extra stupid side kick for some wild physical comedy like Belushi or Bill Murray or John Candy. The pairing of David Lander and Michael McKean comes close, but they're only in the movie when they pirate broadcasts.

gwcohn-2 The movie is a screamer. It has all kinds of inside jokes but the one that caught my eye was when "Lenny & Squiggy" uplink the commercials to the satellite.During the early '80's, many cities had HBO transmitted via microwave to the subscribers home. It didn't take long for the techno-pirates to figure out how to build a pirate antenna. The antenna that L&S was using as an uplink was one of these pirate antennas! A lot of the scenes for the movie were filmed at a used car lot in Mesa AZ.I saw this at a local drive-in but had to tape it when it came on HBO. I now have the DVD as the commentary alone is worth the price.
