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.
