Traxx (1988)
10/10
One of my favorite movies, ever
2 January 2016
I was clever enough to purchase this title on VHS after I caught an airing of it back in the eighties. I have seen it at least half a dozen times since then, and just watched it again with my husband and nineteen-year-old son. We were all laughing hysterically all the way through the film. I was afraid it would not have held up after all these years, but my fears were completely unfounded. We add our voices to those who would dearly like to see this released in a higher quality format. Such an offbeat delight! My favorite scene is the GMC "product placement moment, I think.... :-) I look forward to eventually sharing it with my fourteen- year-old, but it is still a little over the top in the violence/adult theme arena, even given the highly satirical context. Shadoe Stevens is phenomenal as Traxx -- his smile alone would redeem a bad storyline -- and since the scriptwriting hits exactly the right note with my sense of humor, the smile is just a bonus. If you can manage to find a copy, and have a well-developed sense of the absurd, see this movie! If you have no sense of humor, avoid it like the plague!
