…when you listen to the audio commentary by Robert Zemeckis, Kurt Russell and Bob Gale!
This movie has such little redeeming social qualities, one is almost tempted to never acknowledge having seen it, must less acknowledge that you laughed yourself silly when you saw it in 1980, but I’ve got to confess. Not only did I enjoy it the first 10 times I saw it, but now with the audio commentary by Zemeckis, Russell and Gale you will have your sides hurting from all your laughing.
While Kurt Russell is the star of the movie and he gives a memorable performance, it’s Jack Warden in the duo role of competing auto car dealership owners who steals it. I’ve never seen Warden give a bad performance, and in this movie you get two great performances. However, he’s not the only actor who gives an over-the-top performance:
Gerrit Graham as the suspicious co-conspirator/salesman is about as disrespectable a salesman as one would ever find, with a libido that would make one hesitant about introducing him to ones sister.
Frank McRae plays Jim the mechanic, who along with the beagle that plays Toby, rounds out a cast of true misfits
This DVD normally would be rated 4 stars, but with the audio commentary by Kemeckis, Russell and Gale you can multiply those by a 1.25 factor for a full 5 stars.
One note: DO NOT TRY TO EAT OR DRINK WHILE LISTENING TO THE AUDIO COMMENTARY, cause you’ll be laughing so hard you might accidentally choke on your food.
This movie is incredibly funny! It’s a movie that pulls no punches, and will hit you square onto your funny bone. Kurt Russell’s best role, starring as Rudy Russo, a used car salesmen who’s ambition is to run for congress. Rudy works for a guy named Luke Fuchs, who owns the used car lot. His brother, Roy Fuchs, owns another lot directly across the highway. There’s one thing Rudy must do before going to the Capitol Building - he first must protect the used car lot he works at before Roy claims the property, which would ultimately be used as part of a new new highway, which would increase business for Roy’s lot. Roy will stop at nothing, even murdering his own brother! The script is amazing, the plot is original, and you’ll finally know the schemes a used car salesman will employ to get you to buy a total klunker. Toby the dog is a riot! The dog, alone, had me rolling on the floor. Jack Warden puts on a great, great dual-performance as the rival brothers. ‘Lenny’ and ‘Squiggy’ from “Laverne & Shirley” star as friends of Rudy’s. Al Lewis, the beloved ‘Grandpa’ from “The Munsters”, stars as a mean, tobacco chewing judge. If you are into great movies, don’t rent this one… *BUY IT* as part of your video collection!
