Used Cars was a movie i`ve heard about so often, mostly hushed and often referenced but it was a film for whatever reason I never watched. So now that i`m taking a new movie a day challenge I decided its time to.
Movie# 45 Used Cars 1980
Why oh why did I wait so long to see this movie? Its a laugh a second riot. Kurt Russell heads up an all star cast in this comedy about rival car lots. Wickedly smart satire and high octane jokes makes this a deserved cult classic. Even though it didnt make a huge box office upon its release it proves that its hard to keep a good car down and its maintained a healthy following. The cast is amazing and besides Russell you have Gerrit Graham, Jack Warden (in a duel role) and even Al Lewis, yes Grandpa Munster has a small but great role. So much worth checking out. Simply put every over the top raunchy comedy owes a huge debt to Used Cars which blazed a trails for movies like "Anchorman, Baseketball, The Goods (VERY much influenced by this film) etc. Much love and respect! Dont even second guess, rent it hell buy it, you wont regret it. Trust me.
