The big directors have to start somewhere.... From the Roger Corman school of filmmaking. As such, it's a solid product, IF you keep in mind PLENTY of 70's context. It's a fun drive-in movie which were once a staple of American cinema. Ah, simpler times... Read Ron and Clint Howard's co-written memoir {The Boys} before watching this. The back story helps to make sitting through this a little easier. Their dad and Ron wrote the screenplay, Clint has a supporting paet, character actors galore, some celebrity cameos and tons of sweet old cars meet their demise. So much car carnage... Fun, harmless and kitschy.
