Structured as a star vehicle for country singer turned actor Kenny Rogers, Six Pack is an amiable little film that aims low but showcases the pleasant and easygoing charm of its star. Rogers (The Gambler) plays a down on his luck race car driver saddled with a half dozen delinquents. As he tries to resurrect his fledgling career, he bonds with the little waifs and they form a sort of family, even as they are pursued by a corrupt sheriff who wants to send the kids to an orphanage and ruin Rogers' comeback. A blatant knockoff of films like Smokey and the Bandit, this family-oriented movie works best as a breezy comedy of errors, with the hapless racer contending with his unruly brood as they stay one step ahead of the law. --Robert Lane

Product Description

Kenny Rogers stars as Brewster Baker, a stock car driver chasing a comeback until a gang of expert thieves steals his new engine. But these are no ordinary car strippers: Brewster's been boosted by a teenage orphan (Oscar® nominee Diane Lane of Unfaithful) and her five car-crazy young brothers. The kids are on the run from a crooked Texas sheriff. Brewster needs a top team of fast mechanics. From small Southern speedways to the NASCAR Grand Nationals, can the most unlikely pit crew in racing history take Baker all the way to the checkered flag? Anthony Michael Hall (The Breakfast Club, The Dead Zone), Erin Gray (Silver Spoons), Barry Corbin (One Tree Hill) and Terry Kiser (Weekend At Bernie's) co-star in this warm and funny family comedy featuring a hot soundtrack of country hits by Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Merle Haggard and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch movie for all NASCAR fans. July 12, 2005

By Glenn M. Schoditsch

If you are looking for a top-notch, action filled movie about NASCAR, this ain't it! Kenny Rogers stars as Brewster Baker, a onetime Grand National racing star who is on the come back trail. While Kenny Rogers is not the most talented actor, he does exuberate loads of charm in saving his newly acquired "Six Pack" of orphans from a corrupt sheriff, aptly played by Barry Corbin. Dianne Lane and Anthony Michael Hall give great early career performances in this delightful movie. To be fair, Robby Still's character Swifty does swear A LOT! But he is admonished by Brewster for his behavior. Overall a fun movie with a little racing and a great show song, "Love Will Turn You Around" from Kenny Rogers.

This movie is a bit dated but in that respect, it depicts the now mega sport in its earlier days of small dirt tracks and honestly shows where many of todays drivers get their start. Check out the scenes from Atlanta Motor Speedway.

4.0 out of 5 stars Six Packed with Fun December 22, 2003

By C. A. Luster TOP 1000 REVIEWER

The only objection I have heard to this movie, that was halfway objective, was that the attitude of the kids and language could be improved. Now I understand that judgement, but either you need to get eye surgery or or be realistic about your outlook. When I first saw this movie when it was released I fell in love with it. I'm no kid either, in fact I'm now 52. This movie is realistic and has some great acting and comedy. So if you're concerned about how it will affect kids, why don't you sit down and watch it with them. Everyone should have a laugh.

It is sad to me that funny family movies like this have not come out on DVD when there is so much junk that has come out on DVD. I don't know who is keeping this from coming out on DVD but I for one will buy it when it does. I went ahead and ordered this on VHS because there is no indication that it will be on DVD anytime soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAVORITE AS A KID! October 4, 2005

By RAPR

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is one of the first movies I rented as a kid. Makes me laugh now thinking about that xmas , how the family got a "VCR", it was the coolest thing then. Anyways, my family, all relatives, and friends all went to the races every Saturday night (still do) so this movie was perfect. When I rented it in 82 or 83 or whatever it was, I damn near wore it out by watching it over and over. I bought this flick from Amazon on VHS a few years back, and I have watched it about 20 times since then. Pretty funny for a 32 year old guy like me to do that but this movie is kick ass. It better make it to DVD here soon because it would fill a void in my growing collection. This movie has been at the top of my list for years to add to the collection so Anchor Bay better not screw us on this release!!! Awesome movie!!!!!
