I remember watching this as a 9 year old and just sitting in awe and amazement, it was non stop action and I'm watching it now as a 40 year old and it's just as good. My favourite scene is when Hooper takes Tony for a ride to negotiate his fee for the rocket car stunt, i love this film.
shareI agree mate, I loved this as a kid and am actually watching it now and still loving it!
shareThis is definitely one of my all time fuzzy wuzzy movies.
1) I was 16, my brother was 15 and this was one of the first movies we saw without our parents.
Side note. There are only two other movies we did this: Pee Wee's Big Adventure and And Now For Something Completely Different. In retrospect, I'm sure our parents wished there were more.
2) I like the chemistry between Burt and Sally Field (who had gorgeous long hair in those days).
3) It is an movie within a movie context. Too bad the movie within a movie didn't come out as a very real movie in its own right. This is always a disappointment.
4) No one gets sick, nobody dies, a bar room brawl doesn't constitute hard core violence.
...fuzzy wuzzy movies.Would that translate as a good time movie with a plot that could be written out on a drink coaster? ...
Sally Field (who had gorgeous long hair in those days).She really was a fine looking woman in this movie. It's a pity she didn't have a little more to do IMO. share
