Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
English director John Hough (The Legend of Hell House, Escape from Witch Mountain, Watcher in the Woods, The Incubus, Howling IV, and American Gothic) captures a bit of 70s Americana with Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, starring Peter Fonda, Susan George, Adam Roarke, Vic Morrow, Kenneth Tobey, and Roddy McDowall. Peter Fonda plays Larry, an aspiring race driver who ends up robbing a store to get cash for some wheels. Susan George tags along with no invitation, while Adam Roarke is Larry's mechanic and part of the plan. Vic Morrow and Kenneth Tobey play cops on their tail, while Roddy McDowall has a cameo as the poor robbed store manager.
This is a nice, natural, realistic-looking film that keeps your interest. The car chases, and apparently stunts, were all done at speed and look really good. The acting is competent, and the actors add a lot to their pretty basic characters. It's a car-chase movie, and it that sense it definitely doesn't disappoint.
Tagline: No one's faster than Crazy Larry, except Dirty Mary!
Highlights: The stunts/driving; the redneck cop who's "top end is un-limited!"; nice look, pace, and scope of the film (it was pretty good all around); the ending.
