Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (Supercharger Edition)

Description

Susan George (Straw Dogs) is ex-groupie Mary and Peter Fonda (Easy Rider) is wannabe-NASCAR driver Larry. They're thieves on the run from sheriff Vic Morrow (The Blackboard Jungle), who carries neither gun nor badge. According to director John Hough (The Legend of Hell House), his white trash cult classic was "an action picture with a lot of stunts." That about sums it up. The Tarantino favorite is slim on character development, but overstuffed with automobile-oriented action (most revolving around a 1969 Dodge Charger). Notable stunts include a game of chicken with a couple of 18-wheelers, a low-flying helicopter chase, and a death-defying leap over a moving bridge (Speed would up the ante with a bus). Adapted from the novel The Chase, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry also has one shocker of an ending. Adam Roarke, as levelheaded mechanic Deke, and an uncredited Roddy McDowall, as supermarket manager George, provide solid support. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Oldie But Goodie.......2007-08-09

Peter Fonda riding the crest of his wave (The Trip, Easy Rider), good story, good stunts, excellent special effects. All around crowd pleaser.

Another great 70's muscle car movie........2007-07-15

I remember seeing this movie on the big screen at the cinema, I was 13. This is a fun movie if you don't take it too serious, just have fun with it. Although the younger crowd of today might not get it, because of it's heavy use of 70's terms. Lots of bell bottoms and no one wears seat belts in those days...even the cops. As someone mention..Larry didn't come off as "crazy" enough as he could have but still a good effort.
And of course the ending was a blast. If nothing else, the ending will stay with you the rest of your life. It did for me.

Very cool movie for its day.......2007-06-13

and all the add bonuses & trailers are great. I didn't realize until now how big this B movie was in its day.

AMERICANA 1970'S DIRVE IN MOVIES ! OUTSTANDING ! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES! AMAZON !

Top Speed? Unlimited!.......2006-12-09

Loved the great "Real Time" high performance footage and legitimate sound effects. This little known flick is right up there with Bullitt and Vanishing Point as far as the action driving sequences go. I'm thrilled that it has finally been released on DVD. If you're a Mopar fan, it's a must have for your car chase collection.
