4.0 out of 5 stars Intensely funny!!!, November 3, 2002

This is an important "over-looked" classic. Where's the DVD? Why are some Movie Companies re-releasing "Re-mastered" versions of films that are already available on DVD, when there are so many yet to be released once?

4.0 out of 5 stars I laughed so much the first time I watched this!, April 9, 2002

This review is from: Short Time [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I love this movie! One of those late-night films I happened to watch, I thought from the way it started I was in for a standard action flick, boy was I wrong! This is a really funny movie! it cracked me up- I had to buy it! There's something so funny about a guy who's trying to kill himself! Dabney Colemen is great as Burt Simpson, a soon-to-be retired cop who tries to off himself to get his family insurance money to send his son to college. Matt Frewer (Max Headroom, Honey I shrunk the Kids) is as goofy as ever with his one-liners and Teri Garr (Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Tootsie) is in usual form as Burt's wife. And the plot provides some great car chases, top-notch action and witty one-liners. A must-see!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pedal to the metal-varooom car chase, Dabney Coleman's good, January 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Short Time [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a well made movie that you can get into the characters with. Dabney Coleman is great. Love the carborator sounds during the car chase sceens. If you've ever had the need for speed this is one of the best. Great plot with the switching of the blood samples. I highly recommend this film if you love to laugh and like car chases.
