Movie: 2/5

Chase: N/A

I’m beginning to think that this Car Chase marathon was a bad idea.

The Netflix summary of the movie reads like a trailer for an awful movie from the 60s: SEE! A crazy mixed up naked hippie biker chick! SEE! A blind DJ! SEE! Snake charmers in the desert! SEE! Vanishing Point! The assumption being that a movie that contains these disparate elements must be good because, well, look how crazy they are! You’ve gotta see it!

I did, and I’m here to tell you that you don’t. If I had seen this movie previously, and Quentin Tarantino had told me this was what he was shooting for with Death Proof, I wouldn’t have seen Grindhouse like everyone else.

Next Up: The French Connection. Will Popeye Doyle blow the second chance I’m giving him?

Note:  In the 1997 Made-for-TV Remake of Vanishing Point, Cleavon Little was replaced by Jason Priestley.
