This is a secret weapon I use when talking about AZ movies. Revenge of the Nerds, Bill & Ted, and Raising Arizona are some of the bigger ones. Campus Man, Just one of the Guys are two smaller movies. All great flicks filmed in AZ.
This movie was directed by my uncle (he married my mother’s sister) he had such a cool house. They are now divorced and I haven’t seen him in decades. He was a bit of unusual guy but he talked about making this movie a lot the couple times I got to meet him. It really meant a lot to him.
He’s is very much a car nut. How cool would it be if his characters each had a custom car befitting their unique personalities. Expensive yes but it is why Jeff makes the big bucks 😅
Sheen's basic acting is what makes his character in this movie. His don't give af attitude let's you know he is all about taking care of the gang and getting his girl back as his time was limited. He wasn't rude, just all business. Made sure to take care of his brother at the end. The jake/ Jamie scene was peek emotional
@@ghostman5620 I bet you really have had to use that word MANY times in your lifetime . Thanks once again "grammar police"... :) (Thank God I got that handled ... )
I saw this in the theater with my brother on the night before Thanksgiving in 1986. There were maybe 10 people in the theater. As we walked out afterwards I couldn't help but think of all the people that were missing out. Pure 80s goodness.
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. As a kid growing up I was always into anything with fast cars and women. This is yet another classic that fueled my love of cars and trucks. Great video Minty! 😃👍
Apparently the comedian Jeff Dunham owns the car now. He brought it onto an episode of Jay Leno's Garage recently. Oh, and Sherilyn Fenn was hot as fk!
Great film. I always thought it felt like it SHOULD have been made in Australia, during the "Ozsploitation" era alongside Dead End Drive-In, Stone, Turkey Shoot etc.
I'll have to check it out bud. It's always cool to find obscure films (to me at least). Australia always seem to have the goods whether its movies, music or cars. Someone else suggested Running on empty is a kick ass car flick as well.
There were a petition to get the M4S Interceptor Turbo to get it in Forza Horizon 5. Over 150.000 people jumped on it, but still not added to the game.
Outstanding video as always, sir. I first saw The Wraith on Rifftrax, I think, or MST3K(same thing, basically). Then I went ahead and watched it on it's own, and it is a fun movie. They did a lot with the budget they had.
Like the idea, but really, it's much more that the crow is the wraith for goths. (As a rather goth gearhead, both are really high on my list. In truth, all 3.) Besides, robocop completely sidesteps the back from the actual dead theme.
Definitely an underrated movie. I watched it many times in the 80's when I was in high school, and I watched it again not too long ago and still really love it. 100% 80's action movie at its best!
I noticed it was Amazon Prime last week so I jumped on it. Really glad I did because it looked so much better to what I remember on VHS. Well worth a watch on Prime Video. 😁👌👍
I've seen the film a thousand times. I remember running around the garden with my dad's motorbike helmet on my head. Good memories. I still listen to the soundtrack from time to time.
I have seen this film many times and had it on DVD but have to get it again since last copy was lost. I never get tired of this film as it has a great cast and awesome car. I live in Arizona myself and not too far from where the movie was filmed. I still give this big thumbs up and it's a great cheesy and entertaining movie.
Only watched it recently for the 1st time. And I was amazed to see how good the movie still looks. Also having Cousin Eddy attempting to be a Hopper like sherriff was the icing on the cake.
Love this movie!! Used to watch a bunch as a kid and still enjoy it today! Always thought the car was awesome and the idea of coming back for justice was easy to get in to.
Packard was such a great villain. As a kid he looks and acted exactly like a small time crime boss should. That anniversary Corvette still haunts my dreams. I've tried to make every muscle I owned looks like a bad guy's car.
This movie had it all. A fantastic cast. A great soundtrack, An unforgettable score, And an interesting story. It deserves so much more love than it gets. One other fun fact for you guys.... Martin sheen, Charlie's dad, starred in a a movie called the california kid. There are some interesting plot parallels between the two movie. Both movies are about getting revenge for a brother's sus demise. Both movies involved badass cars. Both movies also involve a lot of driving and racing. Watching one after the other definitely helps drive home that there is some sort of relationship between these movies.
What Timing🤩I was honestly Just Thinking about "The Wraith"🤔Wishing that it could get More Online Recognition!🙏 I'd always thought it was odd that Charlie Sheen seemed to be in Half or Less-Than-Half of the whole Movie, but I'd never knew / nor would ever have guessed that He'd Filmed ALL of His Scenes in 1 Day!😅Thanks Minty...👍
I love the independent films of the 80’s. Movies like (The Wraith) (Night of the Comet) and (Buckaroo Banzai). And the list goes on. Fills the viewer with nostalgia and occasionally amazement every time you watch them.
I agree with Minty. The Wraith is a fun 80s popcorn movie. In funny that Rughead in the movie calls Jake a wraith or a ghost, but you can't physically touch a ghost. He was more like a immortal reincarnated being in the form of young man, an avenger.
I recommend "The Experts". I don't remember it now but back in the day I loved that movie. It's where John Travolta and Kelly Preston met. That much I know. Great to see so much Wraith content A
The Wraith was one of my favorite films growing up. I've been hooked on this movie since I first watched it on HBO as a kid. When it came to DVD, I didn't just buy it once, I bought it TWICE: One copy was the initial $10 independent release on DVD, and the other was the official Lionsgate DVD release. And the soundtrack is epic. "Secret Loser" by Ozzy Osborne might be my favorite Ozzy track because of this movie. And you're not the only one who noticed parallels between The Wraith and The Crow. A lot of my friends say that The Wraith is The Crow meets The Fast and The Furious, which is funny because it predates BOTH of those movies.
"A Aparição", so many times broadcast by SBT (a "popularesque" channel here in Brazil), in late 80s. When that channel wanted to turn kid's Sunday badtime into endless nightmares, they would also programme The Burning, The Ambulance, The Fog, Christine, The Stuff, Escape form N.Y., or Children of the Corn and so on. Superb times!

Sherilyn Fenn had one hell of a body!
She was SO Hot. Still one of my favorites of all-time.
She was at her peak in this film
Mint back then...
In Boxing Helena, too.
She's the reason why I saw the movie. She's impossibly gorgeous and sexy AF.
One of the best 80s movies I had the pleasure of watching.
This is one of my Brother-in-law's favorite movies... along with _The Last Dragon_
(He had a huge crush on Vanity back in the day!)
You're too cool Minty!
One of the best 80' B-flicks ever.
I agree
They shot it in Tucson, and it was quite a big deal to see our hometown on the big screen!
Hello from Reid Park area 😅
It sure was, and anytime I show this film, I like discussing where it was filmed. Greetings from the Pantano area lol.
I guess Casa Grande wasn't good enough. 😢 Lol
This is a secret weapon I use when talking about AZ movies. Revenge of the Nerds, Bill & Ted, and Raising Arizona are some of the bigger ones. Campus Man, Just one of the Guys are two smaller movies. All great flicks filmed in AZ.
oh wait! I just remembered that the movie The Three Kings with George Clooney was filmed around Casa Grande! Clooney used to play pool at a local bar.
The Wraith is one of my favorite movies. It gave me the (original) Repo Man vibes.
This movie was directed by my uncle (he married my mother’s sister) he had such a cool house. They are now divorced and I haven’t seen him in decades. He was a bit of unusual guy but he talked about making this movie a lot the couple times I got to meet him. It really meant a lot to him.
07:55 The Wraith car is owned by ventriloquist-comedian Jeff Dunham who had it restored
Last I heard Jeff Dunham, the puppet guy owns the car now.
He does; it’s on an episode of Jay Leno‘s Garage show
He’s is very much a car nut. How cool would it be if his characters each had a custom car befitting their unique personalities. Expensive yes but it is why Jeff makes the big bucks 😅
yup, was about to post the same thing.
It's a replica tribute version of the Dodge that Jeff Dunham has,, but I'd still own one if I could
@@ScotlandSoldieryoutube algorithms are crazy. I just watched that episode on youtube yesterday.
I probably seen this flick a couple dozen times...Not sure why? but id watch it again.
I'd watch it again and again (as well as Can't Buy Me Love) as I lived in Tucson for 30 years and know many of the places they were filmed. 😁
Guilty pleasure most definitely. I've always pondered if this film would benefit for a remake. Possibly a limited series with the right budget.
Sheen's basic acting is what makes his character in this movie. His don't give af attitude let's you know he is all about taking care of the gang and getting his girl back as his time was limited. He wasn't rude, just all business. Made sure to take care of his brother at the end. The jake/ Jamie scene was peek emotional
"You lose the race,you lose your car !!!!!!" :) Great movie that I really remember watching when it originally came out...
"Lose"
Learn to spell
@@ghostman5620 I bet you really have had to use that word MANY times in your lifetime . Thanks once again "grammar police"... :) (Thank God I got that handled ... )
Damn Minty, I’m sure we have the same exact taste in movies, always covering the bangers🙌🏽
I forced my homies to watch this one day. They pretended to hate it but were glued to their seats. They rally race now.
😎👍
"Who is that guy?!"
"I dunno but he looks pissed off and weird!"
I laugh at that part everytime 😂
This is one of my childhood favorite movies
Me too
In case Minty hasn't mentioned yet...Chris Nash portrayed a character named "Minty" in the movie.
I met Clint Howard at a Con in Texas and we mostly discussed this movie.
I love this movie. Thank you for this.
I always liked this movie, great car chases 👏 Minty I was watching another great 80’s classic you haven’t done yet, Tango and Cash mate, 80’s Gold 👍😂
Loved this movie. Still watch it at least once a year.
Tom Cruise knows where Shelly Miscavige is.
Yeah he does. She’s at the bottom of the ocean.
I saw this in the theater with my brother on the night before Thanksgiving in 1986. There were maybe 10 people in the theater. As we walked out afterwards I couldn't help but think of all the people that were missing out. Pure 80s goodness.
It was pretty easy to get 80s goodness in the 80s. The 80s was kinda the nexus of 80s goodness really.
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. As a kid growing up I was always into anything with fast cars and women. This is yet another classic that fueled my love of cars and trucks. Great video Minty! 😃👍
Oh my god! NOBODY talks about this amazing movie! Thank you!
I could and sometimes would watch this movie over and over.. Love This Movie!
Apparently the comedian Jeff Dunham owns the car now. He brought it onto an episode of Jay Leno's Garage recently. Oh, and Sherilyn Fenn was hot as fk!
Everyone was hot as fk in the 80s
Great film. I always thought it felt like it SHOULD have been made in Australia, during the "Ozsploitation" era alongside Dead End Drive-In, Stone, Turkey Shoot etc.
Stone is a killer movie. Being a mid 40s American and motorcycle guy. I had never heard of it until a year or so ago. I bought it. Lol
@@murdock8068
A lot later down the line but I also liked 'The Clean Machine' with the Goose himself starring in it. Great Aussie film!
I'll have to check it out bud. It's always cool to find obscure films (to me at least). Australia always seem to have the goods whether its movies, music or cars. Someone else suggested Running on empty is a kick ass car flick as well.
There were a petition to get the M4S Interceptor Turbo to get it in Forza Horizon 5.
Over 150.000 people jumped on it, but still not added to the game.
I wanna see it in Rocket League
Outstanding video as always, sir. I first saw The Wraith on Rifftrax, I think, or MST3K(same thing, basically). Then I went ahead and watched it on it's own, and it is a fun movie. They did a lot with the budget they had.
One of my favorite movies as a kid. 👍🏽
Love this movie. Thanks for bringing back some good memories, Minty. I should watch this again soon.
The car still looks awesome, even by todays standards.
The Crow is Robocop for Goths.
I've said that since the 90's lol
Crowbocop?!
Robocrow?
Wrabocrow
Like the idea, but really, it's much more that the crow is the wraith for goths.
(As a rather goth gearhead, both are really high on my list. In truth, all 3.)
Besides, robocop completely sidesteps the back from the actual dead theme.
Chrysler is the missing link between The Wraith and Black Moon Rising.
❤❤
One of my most awesome DVD finds ever!
Watched this one on VHS as a kid and it totally got me. A true classic!!❤
Thanks for doing another The Wraith video Minty! This is a great '80's movie!
Nice highlight of a movie I had not known about. And I think you have some amazing insight about the main themes at the end.
Definitely an underrated movie. I watched it many times in the 80's when I was in high school, and I watched it again not too long ago and still really love it. 100% 80's action movie at its best!
Skank and gutter boy were the best definitely a great cult classic of the 80s one of my favorites great video great info.
That Turbo Interceptor is frikken awesome.
I love that and the Joker's car from Suicide Squad.
They're both just badazz looking.
I am watching this every now and then. Its great fun from the 80s :)
Loved this as a kid. Dont huff gas kids.....
😂"I'm Tweaking, Dude!"👍
Haven't watched it in years, but it's enjoyable enough.👍
Your on a roll this week Minty
Dang it! I can't remember what you covered the first time you talked about this movie!
I guess I'll have to find it after this video. 😉👍
So good and original movie! 👍👏👏
I was just watching this morning my mum once met griffin o’neal
I noticed it was Amazon Prime last week so I jumped on it. Really glad I did because it looked so much better to what I remember on VHS. Well worth a watch on Prime Video. 😁👌👍
i’ve always loved this movie as a kid, glad to see a second video on it
One of the first comments! From Spain (Europe) with love! Long live Minty Comedic Arts!!
Thanks for the great video! I think about this movie frequently when I'm on one of our 2 lane desert roads here in AZ.
Great content minty keep.up the good work I enjoy your enthusiasm
I love the grunting in your theme song for your show Minty - you’re the greatest man!
I love the wraith, one of my favorite movies growing up!
Did you know that a Wraith is a vengeful spirit?
It USUALLY targets those who wrong him/her.
But it can also be stuck in one location. 😉👍💀
Man your killing it this week on videos ❤❤❤
I've seen the film a thousand times. I remember running around the garden with my dad's motorbike helmet on my head. Good memories. I still listen to the soundtrack from time to time.
Awesome movie. Cheers Minty. Never stop making vids for us. We appreciate it so much.
I loved this movie, thanks Mark
Another movie I never actually saw, but love your videos, Minty. Keep on truckin!
Hey minty love your videos it got me thru driving 4 hours to and from upstate ny godbless brother

9:41 I went to High School with that girl playing the waitress.
Love this movie!! Used to watch a bunch as a kid and still enjoy it today! Always thought the car was awesome and the idea of coming back for justice was easy to get in to.

The Wraith and The Blob, two of my favourite movies from the 80's

Oh, I LOVE this movie, & That Car. I might look at this today. 👍🏾, thanks for doing this follow up Minty Comedic Arts.
I remember watching this 2am on a local TV station
Still one of my all-time favorite movies.
This is one of those movies I love to watch every chance I get
I love the independent films of the 80’s. Movies like (The Wraith) (Night of the Comet) and (Buckaroo Banzai). And the list goes on. Fills the viewer with nostalgia and occasionally amazement every time you watch them.

Superman IV had the two missing bits in the UK theatrical release too.
So it's weird seeing them completely cut and unfinished in the deleted scenes!
Definitely A Movie I Need To Check Out! Good Job Mr. Minty!
Oh, I'm watching The Wraith tonight? Cool, so be it!
YOU LOSE THE RACE…YOU LOSE YOUR CAR!!!
Who is watching the latest Minty video who scarfing down your Halloween candy?
Another great episode, love this series, yea the Wraith such good movie they really should do a remake
As a 90's kid, I am officially a new fan of The Wraith!
Love this film and soundtrack!
I remember seeing this in the theater. Was one of the first flicks I recall experiencing an empty theater. Still, I enjoyed it.
I recommend "The Experts".
I don't remember it now but back in the day I loved that movie. It's where John Travolta and Kelly Preston met. That much I know.
Great to see so much Wraith content A

This is a typical 80's to which there were hundreds. Still better than most modern films.

Love and support from Kansas
Great
Never knew this movie existed. Gotta watch it.
For me it is 11 things I didn't know about wraith. Number 1 I didn't know it existed but I'm interested.
My 3 favorite Charlie Sheen movies are The Wraith, The Chase and Men at Work!
I know there was a accident that killed a stuntman
"He's heaven-sent and hell on wheels!"
Growing up playing with hot wheels and micro machines… loved this movie,underground 80’s only caught this playing late late night
Excellent job minty 😅
