The epitome of fast cars movies of the era!

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2012)

Though the movie is so typical for it's time, I think it appeals to people of all ages; it's well scripted, the characters have personality in abundance, lots of fast cars and a coherent storyline, leaving little on the "missing"-list.
The chemistry between J. J. McClure (Reynolds) and Victor Prinzi (DeLuise), the two guys driving the Chevy stock car (Terry Bradshaw and Mel Tillis) and Jamie Blake (Dean Martin) and Morris Fenderbaum (Sammy Davis Jr.) is world class and part of what makes this movie great.
Also noteworthy appearances: Jack Elam (Doctor), Farrah Fawcett (Pamela), Roger More (Seymore), Jamie Farr (Sheik) and George Furth (A. J. Foyt)
I find it as enjoyable now as I did as a kid 31 years ago.
Update: this movie sold more ticket here in Denmark than movies like Inception, Shrek 2, Finding Nemo, Independence Day and Back To The Future!
