The car is the star. Martin Sheen is a worthy co-star as is Vic Morrow and Nick Nolte. Michelle Phillips does fine as well....but the car and the other cars are the meat and potatoes of this flick. Cool story of a sheriff that went off his rocker when a hit and run driver killed his wife and child. He starts pushing traffic violaters off a cliff with his souped up Cop-rod '57 Plymouth (Christine's clone). All the deputies have 6 year old cars to drive which are also souped to the gills to catch speeders...in the most famous speed trap in the area. Vic does the dirty dog, as always, to the bone. Running his territory like an evil tyrant. Sheen shows up and the sheriff's nerves become frazzled...he knows something is going down when Mike won't run away from his town.
A great movie I haven't seen for years. Love the old cars & older characters. A calm sheriff getting his due in due time. He thinks he's cool but learns the hard way that he is not the man of the year. HAHA. Great suspense for me and car chases, very cool. Thank you

I loved this flick when I first saw it- as a kid in the 70s. It is set in 1958, and Happy Days was popular. This flick also has a leather jacketed, troubled individual. I grew up to be that troubled outsider. It features actors we still know and admire today- A young Martin Sheen, and Nick Nolte. And what red-blooded kid doesn't like stuff about older kids "makin out"? This flick may've had somethin to do with the beggining of my fascination with California. :)
