I caught this one as a kid and it started me down the path to many Southern-fried classics such as "Cannonball Run", "Smokey and the Bandit", "Any Which Way But Loose"...Hell, even "8 seconds." You know that when Kenny Rogers gets billed over Diane Lane you've got a winner. Kenny sloshes his way through this one like a two-faced, one trick pony on three legs, and it's something to behold. This movie could have been a trainwreck, but with a cast of memorable misfit kids with Diane Lane and Anthony Michael Hall (pre Rusty Griswold) leading the way, "Silver Spoons" Erin Gray in top hotness, and Terry Kiser (Bernie in "Weekend at Bernies") as the arrogant antagonist it's a winner. If you like NASCAR, cussin' and a good ole' soundtrack, here's a family film for you and yours. I give it a 7 out of 10.Read full review
I bought this DVD for my girlfriend's birthday. She enjoys family type movies with kids and happy endings. Kenny Rogers (in his first movie) is a washed up race car driver trying to make a comeback. He accidently comes across 6 orphans looking for a way out of the fix they are in. They reluctantly join up. I've been looking for a DVD of this movie for a loooooong time, since the VHS tape is getting more blurred per play. Ebay had it new and cheap. The only thing I dislike about the movie is that the young (and HOT) Diane Lane is now grown up in real life. This movie is now 26 years old. Erin Gray was also hot then too.
This movie is a good family movie. While the language can be a bit coarse (a few profanities from some characters, including kids) it is typical for the time the movie was made. The plot is fairly predictable, and the acting is ok, but it's a family movie that the kids will enjoy and the adults can also sit through without getting extremely bored. I found it interesting to watch the old stock cars and the names that were mentioned in the race, many of them very prominent in the racing circles today. If you are an old stock car racing fan, a Kenny Rogers fan, or just looking for a decent family movie to watch don't look this over. It is entertaining and a good flashback to those of us that remember watching it and singing 'big rock candy mountain' as a kid.
Good Mvie. We saw it back soon after it was made and liked it. My wife said she wanted to see it again so we bought it. Seen some parts we didn't remember and liked. Kenny Rogers and the kids did a great job.

I bought 'Six Pack' for a Christmas present for my younger son. I rated it Excellent since I, myself really like it and my son (30 yrs old now) raves about the copy we have that was recorded from TV about 10 yrs ago. He works on his car(s) to take to competitive shows. The story line is great. The acting is pretty good considering the ages of the "pit crew". I just know our son will be delighted to recieve for Christmas 2008.
Everyone in our family has always liked this movie, glad we were able to find the DVD at a decent price. It was shipped well. Happy with purchase
