1.0 out of 5 stars burt's last stand as a good ole boy and it skinks, January 26, 2006

By	movie hound john - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stroker Ace (DVD)

this movie more than any other helped kill what was left of burt reynolds acting rloes for the rest of the 80's and keeped him on t.v. till "boggie nights". not one laugh or even a good chuckle to be had in this mess that was realesased very quickly and went under the waves even faster than "heat" did. man what a waste of time and money. no stars but they make you give it one.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Wheels Fall Off Burt's Movie Career, August 20, 2009

By	Scott Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stroker Ace (DVD)

Burt Reynolds lost his box-office following with this embarrassing NASCAR comedy. "Stroker Ace" (1983) is so incredibly bad that it makes Elvis Presley's "Speedway" look like "Grand Prix." Worse still, you're stuck listening to Jim Nabors sing! One never expects lavish production values from a Reynolds-Hal Needham movie, but utilizing video stock footage (that's right, VIDEO) shows contempt for the audience and filmmaking in general. Amazingly enough, Reynolds and Needham would reach new cinematic depths with "Cannonball Run II."

1.0 out of 5 stars One of many nails in Burt's career..., August 11, 2006

By	Grigory's Girl "Grigory's Girl" (NYC) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Stroker Ace (DVD)

This film (along with the Cannonball Run movies) pretty much destroyed Burt Reyonlds's career. It's a shame, because anyone who has seen Deliverance knows that Burt Reyonlds can actually act. Instead, he wanted to be a "good ole boy", and he did a plethora of airheaded, terrible films like this. Reportedly, Burt turned down the role of the astronaut in Terms of Endearment for this. Now that's depressing!
