I first saw this movie back in 1986... didn't really remember too much about it... decided to watch it again after seeing the car in an episode of Leno's Garage.
You know what.. it is actually very entertaining movie... it doesn't suck at all. The bad boy characters are somewhat stupid but fit in quite well... the story is a little simplistic... but sometimes watching a movie that is entertaining and you don't need to think too much about is just what you need.
Plus it was a trip down memory lane from 35 years ago.
Charlie Sheen was 21, but looked a lot younger!!
For the time, the movie had a good look and feel to it.
And the Wraith car stands the test of time really well.
