Rollercoaster (1977)
7/10
Awesome Action Film
2 December 2016
A blackmailer threatens to sabotage roller-coasters at various American amusement parks if he isn't paid a huge ransom.

Look at this: Helen Hunt, in her first feature film role, has the supporting role as Tracy Calder, Harry's teenage daughter and a potential victim of the young man. Steve Guttenberg, also in his first brief film role, plays a messenger at Six Flags Magic Mountain who brings the plans for the Revolution to Calder and Hoyt. Gotta love that.

But really, you have to love this movie. A great, high-stakes game of cat and mouse, and one of the few really centered around a theme park. I'm surprised that doesn't seem to be a more common location. I could have done without the music from Sparks, though... that "Big Boy" song is not good.
