3.0 out of 5 stars FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!, June 12, 2007

This review is from: Hot Rods to Hell (DVD)

I remember seeing this as a kid, double-billed with GOODBYE CHARLIE, at the McDade Drive-In. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for simpler times - the "juvenile delinquents" in this film are pikers compared to the drug-addled, sex-obsessed and gun-toting mutants that appear in films these days - but having seen it recently on Turner Classic Movies, I realized that it wasn't a bad little film. If I read correctly somewhere, this was originally one of the first made-for-TV films out of MGM studios that the powers-that-be decided to release theatrically. Anyway, if you long for the days when hot rods were good ol' American beauties, (unlike in the FAST AND THE FURIOUS series) you might enjoy this fast-paced little thriller.

The other reviewers really don't get the appeal. HRTH has been a favorite BAD movie of mine since I was a teenager in the 70s, when I first saw it on late-night TV. It was gloopy even then. Sure, Dana is awful, wooden and pedantic. But that is what fans of this movie really love. And how about Duke's immortal line when he tell's Laurie Mock's character that her father better not take over Dailey's Motel (which also contains the "cool kids" nightclub hangout) or "No one's going to have any fun...not even you." Heavens what a threat!


The movie is chock full of dopey lines and Jeanne Crain's overacting is a real hoot. Anyone who is buying this should be doing so with their eyes wide open, knowing that while the makers had no idea they were making a Camp Classic, that is just what this is. Filmmakers could not make it as unintentionally funny, if they tried. In fact, I've heard that someone is trying to remake the film under it's original title: "52 Miles to Terror." If they ever do, I'll probably see it, knowing that they'll update it and make it like the "Fast and Furious." And I'll probably be a little sad, as the original, for all its flaws has an undercurrent of naivite that is endearing. A modern remake will be brutal and remorseless, much like our world is today.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT RODS TO HELL~HELL YA !!!~, August 2, 2007

First let me start by saying I am not a movie critic, but I am a big fan of this movie. This is a movie to enjoy just for fun !!! Filmed in only 2 week's time in the desert outside of Palmdale,Ca. this low budget "B" movie was intended to be a "Movie of the Week". Made back in 67', it was a little racy (no pun intended), for the masses. It has become a cult movie for anyone who loves cars of the late 50's~early 60's. And what makes this movie so good you ask ? Well ,how about, bad acting, so-so plot, bad editing, low budget, Kool cars & Gloria. Did I mention Kool cars & Gloria? Dukes bad-to-the-bone '58 vette still looks as good as when I first saw the movie back in 1968. I still to this day want a straight axle corvette !!! Made in a time when these "Bad Seed Teens" seem mild to today's real life gun toting teen's of today. I believe if this was made into a video game today, teens would spend less time playing video games !! It's that bad in a good way. Sit back, relax & enjoy.The Fast & Furious has nothing on "HOT RODS TO HELLS". If you don't enjoy this movie , well, you probaly won't enjoy the 60's. I wonder why they never gave Elvis a shot at Duke's part? That would have been WAY TOO KOOL !!!! SEE YA DADDY O !
