Ron Howard directs and stars in this Roger Corman-produced feature-length car chase, and Grand Theft Auto was made to appeal to the 12-year-old in all of us who likes to see stuff blow up. Poor boy Sam Freeman (Howard) and rich girl Paula Powers (Nancy Morgan) are in love, but Daddy disapproves. They steal the Powers family Rolls Royce for a Vegas elopement, Paula's ex-fiancé puts a bounty on her head, and from then on you can just forget about the plot and watch a zillion cars crash into each other, not to mention a couple of helicopters and an ice-cream truck. In many ways this is a quintessential PG-rated '70s movie: plenty of wholesome fun involving the destruction of public and private property, and every now and then someone says the S word to liven things up. And yes, it is surprisingly satisfying to see a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud get smashed all to hell. The 25th-anniversary special-edition DVD includes interviews with Roger Corman and Ron Howard, audio commentary from Corman and Howard, and a reproduction of the original press pack. --Ali Davis

Fun movie! May 22, 2003
Format:VHS Tape
This is a fun movie! It's a Saturday Matinee "popcorn" type of movie. There's no "academy award-winning" performances here, just good fun watching car chases/crashes.

Note: Why would anyone think a move made in 1977 would be based upon the video/computer game that's popular now? lol

This is a great movie with a lot of, yes I said it, car crashes. This movie has the most car crashes in one movie. And it was made waaaay before the games were made. If you want this movie thinking its based on the video game, shop elsewhere. If you want a good car crash movie, check this out.

Format:DVD
Producer Roger Corman had Howard in the film Eat my Dust, it made money. So Corman offer Howard another film-he worked it into his first directing job.

Howard's imprint was on this film. His co-stars were Nancy Morgan (at that time Mrs John Ritter), His Happy Days costars Marion Ross and Donnie Most, and Assorted friends. Corman films were done on shoe string budgets and this one isnt any different, but even if the shoestring-Howard showcased himself as a good director on his first time out

On the DVD, Howard & Corman do audio commentary over the film. If you ever wanted to get into filmmaker's Howard's head-this commentary shows how he made the film and he insights into what was right and also what went wrong

Go Get this
