**********
Super sexy James Brolin is a western sheriff battling a not-so-super-sexy Evil Car.
Movie starts with two bicycle riders pedaling their way to certain doom along a lonely mountain road. They are - OF COURSE - being stalked by the Evil Car while a musical theme almost EXACTLY LIKE "JAWS" plays them all to their completely predictable fate.
It's a perfect setup for what this movie delivers.
You get solid performances from Brolin and Kathleen Lloyd, Ronny Cox and R.G. Armstrong. Plus little Kim Richards and her younger sister Kyle plays Brolin's kids. That's fun. (Richards will always have my heart from the Witch Mountain movies and co-starring with James Spader in TUFF TURF!) The rest of the performances are ... not great, but there ya go.
The movie is fun if not anything else. It's CERTAINLY entertaining in that cheesy '70s movie kind of way. And the ending is... well... it's a head-scratcher. You kind of sit there and go: "Ummmm... what just happened?"
A good time.
