If I ever ran a studio... For stunts I would find a way to use fresh human corpses, I mean if they are going to be cremated anyways , tell the family you will pay for all funeral costs including the urn plus a couple hundred bucks to boot.
There's just no way anyone involved in this "film" would've thought that scene was a good idea!! I refuse to believe ANYONE saw this and thought "Fucking nailed it!!!" this had to be a movie made to launder money or some other financial crime, because that's the only thing that makes sense. This is like some Uwe Boll nonsense...
@@secludedmisanthrope6388 no, people (directors, script writers, whoever greenlit this film for production) are just weird. someone thought that scene was necessary and added to the story or added to the audience's experience. you'd have to be in their mind at the time to find out. i say "at the time" because many directors etc., have gone "i don't know what i was thinking." and that's hilarious because life is like that sometimes, especially when you're creating something and working under pressure, the human mind can warp. i will say that the way this movie is completely over the top was the style at the time. When A Stranger Calls is a landmark film but the opening scene which inspired virtually all horror movies that came after it literally looks like a parody because of how hard the soundtrack and visuals hit the viewer over the head. i think it's because modern films are derivatives of When A Stranger Calls and i think the same can be said for The Car.
@@princesstamikaHaving grown up in the 80s, I can agree with that but still, there are limits on how HORRIBLE and STUPID a movie can be, unless the intent was to make a pointless and impossibly bad movie like Uwe Boll has done for decades or how Troma video made movies back then... When you see bad movies now, everyone wants to say, well the creator made it that way intentionally, to be funny or whatever and that is unacceptable. Garbage needs to be called out as garbage...
@@secludedmisanthrope6388 Have you seen Uwe Boll's Postal movie? Cause it is awesome, probably the best movie based of a videogame ever. If you haven't seen it I recommend playing Postal 2 and after completing that watch the movie. 😉
Having [barely]lived through the 70s, I can tell you that, yes; our cars were very hazardous. I mean, you had to be careful with how you closed the doors. If you closed them too hard, you ran the risk of causing your car to go into a barrel roll, and bursting into flames. And getting into a rear end collision was sure to cause you to be launched 30 feet into the air, invert you, and land you on the back of a semi trailer. Of course, if you yelled, "HOLD ON!", you'd survive. Then you'd crawl out the windows, rub your head, and take your "These" pills for a few days until you weren't sore.
A jetpack would definitely set the parachutes harness on fire, so you better strap 2 or 3 fire extinguishers to the guys bike. Shit, that wouldn't work unless the bike also had a parachute and jetpack...
@The B's Nest 2 Umm, I don't think "Ejaculatory seats" are a real thing, or I really really hope they're not a real thing because a jizz covered seat in your car on a hot day would be shockingly unpleasant!!
I'm gonna be honest, that scene where the car is coming up in her window before driving into her house looked fantastic. Like, it's kinda cheesy but hell, it was a good shot atleast.
The Car is outstanding as a midnight movie. Every kill is great! Christine is more of a coming-of-age drama, but The car is batshit crazy! The Car raiding through the house was amazing! As Mark say in the end, it does have a quality.
The fact that the Futurama episode "The Honking," which follows essentially exactly this same premise, is vastly more unironically entertaining than this seems to be is really something.
You probably already caught this, but its pretty obvious that Futurama based the look of the evil car in that episode off the evil car in this movie. Apart from the paint job, the two look almost identical, its awesome hahaha
I remember seeing this movie years ago on late night TV and only remembered it after seeing "The Honking" because the look of the car, and the sound of the horn, were the same.
I adore this movie, mostly for The Car itself. The "evil wind" is an old school demonic trope, the hot winds of hell. And yes, I would pass on the sequel. It has very little to do with the original movie and is more like a scifi domestic abuse story mixed with Knight Rider and then a poorly built replica of The Car shows up for about 3 minutes at the end. It's a very syfy quality film. I never noticed how high that bridge fall is, that's an amazing stunt.
For a B movie I've never heard of I'm impressed they actually did that bridge stunt. Modern big budget movies wouldn't have the balls to throw an actual person off a bridge that high.
@@souljastation5463 Odd isn't it? The just starting to emerge sexuality of a young person attaches itself on the first familiar adult bodies around. Go figure..
That stunt of falling off the bridge is spectacular. And seeing the lighting rigs (and even crew squatting down around the camera in one brief moment) in the reflection of the bell of the french horn is golden filmmaking. But this movie worked when I saw it as a kid, I bought it all. I so desperately wanted to see inside the car.
Tim Sawyer it’s awesome. I’ve been watching him for a while and it really sucked when he didn’t post for a while. I’m glad he has the time to make for content for us now.
me and my dad used to have "bad movie night", where every Saturday we would order pizza and watch on of these kind of movie. This one in particular was maybe the 2nd or 3rd we watched and honestly one of the best "bad movies"
The acting and everything worked on me when i was kid. This movie scared the shyt out of me. The Car driving through the house is the most iconic scene of the movie.
I saw this in its theatrical release. I somehow remembered James Brolin starred in this. I don’t know which coincidence is stranger. I was a teen in the 70’s and I can confirm cars did explode for no reason. The only one they actually caught was the Ford Pinto. The rest of them exploded before they could film them and prove it.
To be fair that famous news report where the pinto was hit in the rear-end and exploded was fake as was the one with chavy trucks if they were hit in the side. If I'm not mistaken both faked videos was the same news station. But to fix the pinto gas tank rupture all you had to do was take one bolt out of the bumper hanger and it was fine. I watched a documentary about the pinto it was pretty good it talked about that news report along with some other stuff it talked about how ford let that get passed and the person was fired and went to court and stuff it was pretty cool.
Its definitely B movie cheese but its actually well made, has some great practical effects and stunts too. Good cinematography also. Def worth a watch.
Almost all the characters are played by actors who could act if given the material. The classic movies The Godfather and Deliverance share actors with this movie, how's that for a mind blower?
@@flibber123 Indeed, Brolin and especially Ronny Cox could certainly act. They were probably hamming it up due to the material, which is no bad thing at all.
Showing my age now. I remember seeing this film in the cinema when it first came out. All I remember is the "horn/roar" the car made and the devil rising up of the wreckage at the end. I guess I was way too young to appreciate the finer points of this hilarious "classic". ;)
Back in 1977 I was 8 years old and going to the movies with my best friend once a week, every week from the 1970s-1980s. We were a couple of fanatics about the movies. We talked, read, ate, drank, and slept the movies. He lived in a distant neighborhood and I had to take a public city bus to get to and from his place. Normally, most times we went to one of the movie theaters in or near his neighborhood. After seeing our movie in the theater, we'd retreat back to his apartment to watch even more movies on his living room tv that happened to be airing that afternoon and evening. The Car was one of the few movies we didn't get to see in the theaters. We didn't see it until a couple years later in his living room when it debuted on tv. I think the year was either 1979 or 1980 when we were 10-11 years old. After seeing the movie on his tv, I took my bus home. The bus let me off a block or so away from my place. As I walked up my street to get home, it was after dark and I was scared of all the cars parked alongside the sidewalk, especially the ones with their front tires turned towards me on the sidewalk. I warily eyed them, worried that one of them would jump up onto the sidewalk and give chase to me! I finally reached my home and breathed a sigh of relief. Because as one will recall in the movie, there's a scene in which the car kills one of its victims by smashing through her single level house. But I lived in a 2 family apartment house and my apartment was upstairs on the second floor!
I'm so glad you mentioned Mr. Barris. The Car is one of my all-time favorite designs of his (other than KITT). All the silliness aside, that thing looks straight-up mean
On the commentary of Futurama the producers say they were inspired by this film for their design of the werecar that tries to kill Bender. And the two little blonde girls here are played by Kyle and Kim Richards.
I'd never even heard of this film before, but the car is clearly the visual model for when Bender gets possessed in the Futurama episode "The Honking". Heh.
The man whom customized the car is also the same guy that made the shuttle craft for ST the original series. So, that guy has gotten around. That is actually a good movie. Has a Saturday night feel to it.

I love this movie and watch once or twice a year. It has some beautiful scenery, as in Zion National Park and James Brolin. Nice. And the scene in which it goes through the girlfriend's house to get her - awesome!
This movie holds a special place in my heart. It was always playing on Saturdays on TBS or channel 11 in the 80s. I've seen it so many times and can still hear that horn. I smiled when I saw this video pop up in my suggestions. Thank you!!
Little know car fact from the 70's. Cars had a grounding problem with their metallic roofs. It the roof touched the ground in a roll over it would release a discharge of static electricity that would immediately cause the gas tank to ignite and explode. It's why vinyl roofs where so popular in the 70's.
I actually loved this film when I was a kid, watched it on some late night showing on TV, and yes, I saw all the silliness of it years later rewatching it, and you nailed it again, your commentary was hilarious on this one. There were some pretty well filmed scenes in the car, everyone seems to love the one where it comes crashing through the house killing his girlfriend, personally my favorite is where it makes itself almost crash, tumbling sideways over the cop cars, I mean it looks awesome, just absolutely brutal, not too mention the way they edited it was fantastic, that entire scene just happens sooo fast it kind of just blows you away the first time you see it. Ok, enough of my love fest with the car lol, great review , maybe you could do The Wraith next time😋
The people in this horror movie don't appear to be nearly as dumb as 99% of other horror movies. The Car has heart and is a very well done low budget flick.
Now I understand that Futurama joke where Bender turns into a killer "werecar". It was a reference to this movie... Only took nearly 20 years to find out...
@@Artofficial1986 No I just have one channel on my Television that I watch, "Comet" and we'll the movies there are kinda... Limited. No Cable, no Netflix, none of that nonsense... mostly I just have the television on for background noise.
That's how I typically am with these videos, since I've usually seen the movies multiple times before Mark reviews them. But this is one of the few I actually have never seen before.
I invited some friends over, we watched your commentary about this movie, and then watched the movie. There was so much laughter and fun that night I still remember it. Thank you for watching these terrible movies and providing so much entertainment!!
The music is by Leonard Rosenman, I guess. I was shitting myself because of it. It's a fantastic film. A great little film. It remains in your soul after 50 years. It happened to me.
This movie was on tv all the time when I was a little boy. It scared me. I remember the car was displayed at Universal Studios Hollywood behind velvet rope late 70's to early 80's.
The 1977 horror tale “The Car,” about a possessed auto, which Stephen King ripped off for “Christine” (1983), is back for “The Car: Road to Revenge.” Different killer car, a modified Chrysler 300 with gullwing doors badged as “Lazarus” for this futurescape.
I need to watch this movie! When I was a kid, this would've scared the crap out me! Liked the review on this one too. Cheers and hope you and your family are safe and staying cautious!
What I'd have loved seeing was a Knightrider episode revealing that K.I.T.T. had been made from parts from this car where he finally faces off with it on on the psychic auto plane (with the Lovebug and Christine routining for each one).
Do you people haunt his response section, always acting like you know him personally and always commenting about the frequency of his video uploads? You people are in every one of his comment sections. No one cares to keep seeing this $hit every time they look at the comments.
"The suspense in this film is fantastic and just builds and builds as the film moves on. One thing that this film did take from Jaws is how the music changes when the car appears in the scene. It truly hightens the suspense of the scene and really pulls you in and brings you to the edge of your seat."
@@homelesshannah50 Wow you sound just like that old bitty teacher in the movie lol. The kid was 13 not 5. Pretty normal to have his hormones raging at that age. The art was actually classy. A 13 yr old today would have drawn a bukkaki anime of his teacher and put it on the internet.
@@juststained I get hormones raging but he took it to another level that frankly came off as creepy regardless of his age. Even at 13 you should know "when to say when"
It is great that you added "weird" and not only "bad movies" this is a magnificent movie and really strange but it is not bad, and I have to confess that for a long time it was one of my favorites, it is too entertaining

Nope

That was a very gnarly looking stunt and I don't think they thought through that fully. There's no way he was uninjured from that.

The man whom customized the car is also the same guy that made the shuttle craft for ST the original series. So, that guy has gotten around. That is actually a good movie. Has a Saturday night feel to it.

Hello, it's 8 Months later from your quote. 01/30/2021. I just commented this quote then scrolled down to see who else may have done the same.
@@LydiAtheistLady A car in Peter Sutcliffe mode...OK.
At the breakfast table the headline's dropped
between last night's shag and the coffee cup.
Yeah, it's always someone someplace else.
Randomness: a book plucked from a library's shelf.
Whistle down the wind, sweet lass,
and all harmony will come to you.
Aye, be it petal or kind word; proposal on bent knee
with promises of love, your beauty must surely be
a magnet to all things good in this world...amirite?

the tools of randomness; unsavoury surprise.
Oh, sweet lass; book on the shelf;
a breakfast table headline...someplace else.

He looks like the guy being chased in the video the Radiohead's "Karma Police."
I love this movie and watch once or twice a year. It has some beautiful scenery, as in Zion National Park and James Brolin. Nice. And the scene in which it goes through the girlfriend's house to get her - awesome!
This movie is worth watching if just for the scene where the car flies through the house.
12:00 "I'm scared.. Tell me what to do..!?"
Turn left and look out the window..

That car driving through the house scared me to death as an 11 year old at the drive in theater with my parents and it stills scares me 40 years later
that scene made me have nightmares
I remember seeing this when I was a kid on TV - I thought it was and still do think it's a great movie . . . absolutely brilliant, imho . . .
Pause at 6:33...UFO?
Same. I found it terrifying. It actually stuck with me into adulthood.
Thanks for saying the make and model of THE CAR!
Dude!! 6:35 the chief of police was the guy with the horse’s head in his bed from the Godfather!
Drunky McBeatwife?!! 😂
vigoda from GOODBURGER!!!
I saw this at drive in with my cousins. What a hilarious fun time. I love this movie.
I absolutely love "The Car", brilliant episode.
Josh Brolin now looks a lot like his dad. Such a change from how he looked in Goonies.
This movie holds a special place in my heart. It was always playing on Saturdays on TBS or channel 11 in the 80s. I've seen it so many times and can still hear that horn. I smiled when I saw this video pop up in my suggestions. Thank you!!
This HAS to be where Regular Show got the idea for the Ello Gov'nor episode. And if it's not, it certainly should be. ELLO GOV'NOOOOOR!!!
2:38 that's actually a well done effect. I wonder how they managed that
Pause at 6:33...UFO?
Airbags. Lots and lots of airbags.
Wow, it’s been a while since Mark has watched a movie that hasn’t filled him with rage, LOL!
That bridge fall stunt is actually damn impressive
Little know car fact from the 70's. Cars had a grounding problem with their metallic roofs. It the roof touched the ground in a roll over it would release a discharge of static electricity that would immediately cause the gas tank to ignite and explode. It's why vinyl roofs where so popular in the 70's.
Plus the nitro glycerin used as an insulator for the roof.
I actually loved this film when I was a kid, watched it on some late night showing on TV, and yes, I saw all the silliness of it years later rewatching it, and you nailed it again, your commentary was hilarious on this one.
There were some pretty well filmed scenes in the car, everyone seems to love the one where it comes crashing through the house killing his girlfriend, personally my favorite is where it makes itself almost crash, tumbling sideways over the cop cars, I mean it looks awesome, just absolutely brutal, not too mention the way they edited it was fantastic, that entire scene just happens sooo fast it kind of just blows you away the first time you see it.
Ok, enough of my love fest with the car lol, great review , maybe you could do The Wraith next time😋
The people in this horror movie don't appear to be nearly as dumb as 99% of other horror movies. The Car has heart and is a very well done low budget flick.
TBF that guy falling from the bridge was a pretty cool shot.
BENDER THE WERECAR?!
I love this episode of "Futurama".
Now I understand that Futurama joke where Bender turns into a killer "werecar". It was a reference to this movie... Only took nearly 20 years to find out...
Better late than never. Good movie.
Holy Hell how did they make that scene with the stuntman falling off the bridge? That's insane!
'Clutching' at straws here, this is actually a good movie, your Rep continues to nosedive hehe
I remember watching this when I was young. That scene where the car is coming at her window was scary! I was like"Oh no. NO! Crunch!
You know this quarantine has it's good parts
One of them is that you upload more frequently
Good classy B movie fm 70s, with no CGI, just fun popcorn and watching Babs man b4 she captured him.
I've actually watched this movie, more than once? HTF did that happen?
@@Artofficial1986 No I just have one channel on my Television that I watch, "Comet" and we'll the movies there are kinda... Limited. No Cable, no Netflix, none of that nonsense... mostly I just have the television on for background noise.
That's how I typically am with these videos, since I've usually seen the movies multiple times before Mark reviews them. But this is one of the few I actually have never seen before.
I remember this being a Saturday afternoon staple back in the 80's on local movie stations. I have seen this 3 or 4 times myself back in the day!

The car driving through the house was awesome. And when it was in the garage.
No one’s doing it? Fine I will jeez.
Oh hi mark!
You're tearing me apart Nicolas!
Pause at 6:33...UFO?
Dude your dry humor is amazing, you rock, VERY good job
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln"
I invited some friends over, we watched your commentary about this movie, and then watched the movie. There was so much laughter and fun that night I still remember it. Thank you for watching these terrible movies and providing so much entertainment!!
I'm getting more and more convinced that the old lady screamed "Cat Poo!"
Clubbed Sandwich That’s what I always thought
Exactly !
Pause at 6:33...UFO?
that's because she does shout CAT-POO 💯
The music is by Leonard Rosenman, I guess. I was shitting myself because of it. It's a fantastic film. A great little film. It remains in your soul after 50 years. It happened to me.
This movie was on tv all the time when I was a little boy. It scared me. I remember the car was displayed at Universal Studios Hollywood behind velvet rope late 70's to early 80's.
I saw this movie on creature feature TV show with Dr Paul bearer midnight showing. It actually scared the heck out of me....I was like 9.....😅
I miss him! ☹
i haven't been so terrified by a movie since 'the canoe.'
I have actually seen this movie a few times. You're right....it's definitely one you should see.
I remember this movie being really scary when it came on TV. Being too young to see actual horror helped.
I saw this in a theater as a kid. Scared the crap out of me. I slept in the basement that night for safety. 😲
They should have called this "Minimum Underdrive."
The 1977 horror tale “The Car,” about a possessed auto, which Stephen King ripped off for “Christine” (1983), is back for “The Car: Road to Revenge.” Different killer car, a modified Chrysler 300 with gullwing doors badged as “Lazarus” for this futurescape.
I need to watch this movie! When I was a kid, this would've scared the crap out me! Liked the review on this one too. Cheers and hope you and your family are safe and staying cautious!
What I'd have loved seeing was a Knightrider episode revealing that K.I.T.T. had been made from parts from this car where he finally faces off with it on on the psychic auto plane (with the Lovebug and Christine routining for each one).
I'm glad you're able to upload consistantly like you wanted.
Do you people haunt his response section, always acting like you know him personally and always commenting about the frequency of his video uploads? You people are in every one of his comment sections. No one cares to keep seeing this $hit every time they look at the comments.
"The suspense in this film is fantastic and just builds and builds as the film moves on. One thing that this film did take from Jaws is how the music changes when the car appears in the scene. It truly hightens the suspense of the scene and really pulls you in and brings you to the edge of your seat."
The car looks like when bender becomes a werecar in Futurama lmao
Kurt Cobain lml yea they had to get the idea for that episode from this movie
I just remembered that after this review, Futurama spoofed this movie!!
It's no coincidence.
This is like a cross between Science Fiction Theater 3000 and Svengoolie!
Keep up the great work Mark!
Ok but is no one talking about how her student drew her naked and she was worried about looking like a 36D........
Ok but no
Cause Hollyweird thinks stuff like that is "normal" yeah having a crush is one thing but shouldn't making that get him in some kind of trouble
@@homelesshannah50 Wow you sound just like that old bitty teacher in the movie lol. The kid was 13 not 5. Pretty normal to have his hormones raging at that age. The art was actually classy. A 13 yr old today would have drawn a bukkaki anime of his teacher and put it on the internet.
@@juststained I get hormones raging but he took it to another level that frankly came off as creepy regardless of his age. Even at 13 you should know "when to say when"
@@homelesshannah50 Bollocks, its healthy stuff and pretty cute and innocent from the woman's pov.
I always thought of The Car kinda like Myers in Halloween, just a force of nature like a tornado or hurricane. But I have to say I love this movie!
I was really hoping that scene of the car going off the cliff would reveal Toonces as the driver
Toonces? What's that mean?

Fun Fact: There’s an episode of Knight Rider that uses a jump scene from The Car and you can actually SEE The Car for a second!
7:27 Clearly, you've never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. We dance to everything here.
It is great that you added "weird" and not only "bad movies" this is a magnificent movie and really strange but it is not bad, and I have to confess that for a long time it was one of my favorites, it is too entertaining
Still better than "The Swarm".
This movie scared the heck out of me as a kid. Great watching it again today.
So a movie about K.I.T.T from Knightrider's evil twin?
Yes. K.A.R.R. will kill us all.
@strontiumXnitrate
I'm guessing you are referring to my Squirrel Girl cosplay. I made the ears according to the comic's specs.
@strontiumXnitrate
The version of Squirrel Girl I cosplayed uses that belt design too. Four pockets full of different kinds of nuts. :)
I Love this movie and watch it from time to time.
I can't believe you didn't pause at 13:40 and hold on that wonderful reaction shot.
I was just watching through other videos on this channel - and then this popped up! Awesome
