Stroker Ace (1983)
5/10
Oh there's no winning this race

Stroker Ace, a bad idea executed without charm, energy or wit and yet somehow not as painfully disappointing as Smokey and the Bandit II. I guess that's something, but not much.

Reynolds is phoning it in and some of the scenes simply don't know when to stop (Loni Anderson's undressing in particular) but I can see where people signed on to do this based on the Reynolds-Needham track record. And even when he's sleepwalking through a role, he's still likable.

This is a one-and-done for me but I was able to hang with it til the end. Elvira shows up out of nowhere, that was nice. And I've gotta be honest, it could've used more chicken suit.
