4.0 out of 5 stars Small Town Fun At It's Best!, August 17, 2001

This review is from: Roadhouse 66 (Amazon.com Exclusive) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After getting his radiator shot at by three local toughs, Beckman(Judge Reinhold) and hitchhiker Johnny(Willem Dafoe) find themselves stranded in a small Arizona town over Labor Day weekend. Soon, they meet Jessie, who owns the auto parts store,(played by Kaaren Lee) and her just home from college sister, Melissa, (Kate Vernon). After getting the radiator fixed, they spend time hanging in the local tavern (The 66), where they meet up again with the trouble-making trio. Hostility builds between the two sides, as does attractions between Beckman and Melissa, and Johnny and Jessie. Beckman, who is driving a 1955 Thunderbird, decides to enter the local Labor Day race (Open only to cars built before 1966), pitting him directly against the three (or so it would seem). Great drama and action follow as does excellent rockabilly music provided by a powerful and driving soundtrack. Just a fun and very entertaining movie.

This review is from: Roadhouse 66 (DVD)

Yes, the movie was far from Oscar material, but I'm buying it because as a kid living smack between the Santé Fe Rail way and Highway 66 in Kingman Arizona, it was a pretty big deal when my dad rented out a section of his salvage yard to the film company, and it was an even bigger deal when I was charged with running the forklift back and forth, to stack cars at the direction of the "Art Director". Yup, if you see a big pile of junk cars and a junk yard shed, my parents mobile home was actually about 100 feet to the west of there, and I moved all the cars onto a "set" where I played as a child. I remember William Defoe and Judge Reinhold seeming like pretty regular guys actually; that and there was any amazing quantity of what I thought was really awesome food. And Yes, I agree, that's no reason for you to buy it, as the movie kind of bites otherwise.

I saw this movie when first released on Video years ago and didn't mind it back than so after talking to a friend who is a car fan buys American Muscle cars and Mustangs reminded me so bought a copy of Road House 66 filmed 4/3 luckily my Blu Ray player can be adjusted so the film can be viewed on full screen & as for the sound wasn't the best but not bad than again it was made in 1984 with Willem Dafoe & Judge Reinhold and great classic cars .
