DVD Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (Supercharger Edition)
Susan George (Straw Dogs) is ex-groupie Mary and Peter Fonda (Easy Rider) is wannabe-NASCAR driver Larry. They're thieves on the run from sheriff Vic Morrow (The Blackboard Jungle), who carries neither gun nor badge. According to director John Hough (The Legend of Hell House), his white trash cult classic was "an action picture with a lot of stunts." That about sums it up. The Tarantino favorite is slim on character development, but overstuffed with automobile-oriented action (most revolving around a 1969 Dodge Charger). Notable stunts include a game of chicken with a couple of 18-wheelers, a low-flying helicopter chase, and a death-defying leap over a moving bridge (Speed would up the ante with a bus). Adapted from the novel The Chase, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry also has one shocker of an ending. Adam Roarke, as levelheaded mechanic Deke, and an uncredited Roddy McDowall, as supermarket manager George, provide solid support. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Review(s): DVD Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (Supercharger Edition)
FAST, FUN AND FULL OF TALENT.
This is one of the, if not the best car chases ever. Fast paced movie that's loaded with talent, and by far never boring. What sets the classic chase movies from the ones of today is, no computer imagery, no animated trickery. Just raw talent. My first time seeing this movie was at the local drive-in. Dirty Mary Crazy Larry was billed as a double feature along side with another great chase movie Vanishing Point (also recommended). My advice is make sure you have all your refreshments ready before you watch this flick. So put the cat outside, feed the dog, let your answering machine/voice mail take your calls. Then pump up the volume and strap yourself down in your favorite chair and get ready for the ride of your life! And then if your still in the mood for speed, watch (the original) Vanishing Point.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
Awesome car scenes. I can remember seeing this movie at the Drive-In with my parents when I was little.
She's not that dirty
The film stars Peter Fonda as former NASCAR driver who has left the track for a life of crime. He's driving a getaway Dodge Charger while lawman Vic Morrow burns after him in a helicopter. Susan George plays Dirty Mary and she's not really that dirty. She doesn't do anything that would cut it in the world of German videos. She looks clean enough to work in a McDonalds. But the British actress does cut it as a backwoods slut who wants to keep hooking up with Fonda. She wears a denim bikini top that deserves a visit to Jerry Springer. Anchorbay did an amazing job with the DVD. The print glistens. They have a 30-minute background documentary that explains how the second unit director from the Avengers TV series came to America and made a drive-in classic. The key living figures all chat away. There's also a filmmaker commentary track. But the strangest piece is an ad for the '69 Dodge Charger where they adapted "Midnight Special" into a sales jingle.

Art film and road movie collide for Vanishing Point, an existential car chase across the desert in a post Easy Rider America. Barry Newman stars as Kowalski, a taciturn driver who bets that he can drive a new Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours. He loads up on amphetamines and begins his odyssey through the contemporary west while a funky black DJ (Cleavon Little) turns the driver into a folk hero and broadcasts advice on dodging the cops. It's like a counterculture precursor to Smokey and the Bandit, with the road as the last bastion of freedom and the DJ as a combination commentator and mystical guide. The slim plot offers a network of society drop-outs that aid the "last free Man on Earth" (as the DJ describes him) on his obscure but obviously... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Richard C.

An alternate title for this movie could easily be RV to Hell. Two middle-class couples take their spankin'-new motor home on a trip to Colorado. While camping out in Texas, the men see something they shouldn't--a human sacrifice by Satanists who somehow manage not to notice their Safeway- sized vehicle until the last minute. The tourists flee from the devil worshippers, getting the monstrous RV hung up in a stream, and so goes the rest of the movie. The local sheriff is in league with the devil, and every town they come to is full of pesky Satanists. The vacationers are nothing if not resourceful, though; when a pair of determined Beelzebubbers cling to the vehicle like barnacles, Peter Fonda pokes at them with an aluminum vacuum-cleaner wand until they give up and fall...

A tres cool mix of noirish grit and slam-bang action this caper film from director Walter Hill (48 Hrs, The Warriors) is required viewing for car-chase fanatics and devotees of '70s cinema. Ryan O'Neal and Bruce Dern are terrific as opposite sides of the law: respectively, a supernaturally skilled getaway car driver, and the dogged detective who's pursued him at the expense of all else. For his second feature film, Hill keeps dialogue and character development at bare-bones level (the characters are named after their primary function: O'Neal is the Driver, the stunning Isabelle Adjani is the Connection) and focuses on mood, tone, and, above all, some of the most stunning automotive action captured on film. The DVD offers widescreen and fullscreen versions...

VP1 is an absolute classic of a movie. It has everything, screenplay, cinematography, casting, acting, directing. VP2 isn't bad at all, and the scenery is just super, but it doesn't hold a candle to the original. I saw VP2 on Cinemax. I own VP1 on DVD...AWESOME! 3i9.
