Most "car movies" from back then were like that- almost painful to watch. Remember Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry? Corvette Summer? The Wraith? Duel? The original Gone In 60 Seconds? Even our beloved Vanishing Point was nothing stellar, to be perfectly honest. It's all about how you approach them- if you go into it knowing that they're hokey as h*ll, they can be fun to watch for what they are. Heck, turn the sound off and add your own dialog with your friends over a cold case of your favorite brew... now there's some fun when there's nothing else but soccer and poker on TV!
