Maindrian Pace is an insurance investigator by day and a professional car thief by night. When a South American drug lord offers Pace $400,000 to steal 48 cars in five days, the assignment seems like an easy week's work for Pace and his gang -- until he's sold out. After he steals a car known as "Eleanor" in Long Beach, Calif., the police are suddenly on his tail. Pace ends up in a desperate car chase across Southern California, from Long Beach to Carson.

... perhaps the ultimate drive-in car chase movie. If that sounds like a backhanded compliment, then you don't know the sheer visceral thrill of a great tire squealing, chassis-slamming, speed demon piece of auto outlaw cinema. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide May 6, 2008
2.5/4
Amateurish, badly acted and shot on the cheap (many sequences don't even have sync sound), this cult item features a 40-minute car chase (almost half the film's running time) that's nothing short of breathtaking. Go to Full Review

Has much more of an electrifying energy, and intelligence than the remake does... Go to Full Review

Jelisije J @jjosifovic Oct 25, 2026 People only watch this movie for the car chase scene......their is hardly any story or character that makes you have a connection to this film. No chase scene and you get one of the worst and useless films that you will ever see. See more Slinkie T @RT34738069 Jun 16, 2026 This is basically someone saying "I am going to make a movie just for me". As a movie it is dreadful. As an excuse for someone to crash dozens of cars on camera its brilliant. If this is your niche or kink you will absolutely adore it. If you want your story properly explained or want some characters that feel real or use common sense you better watch the remake because that is at least a movie. I do rewatch this from time to time because I love the blatantness of the filmmaker/driver. It's so unapologetic about what it is and who it is for. Anyone involved in the production who thought they were making a legit movie was fooling themselves. From the voiceover dialogue that explains the "plot" to the unlikableness of the main character you are constantly asking yourself "Why did they do it that way?" My favorite part of the story though is the complete BS they try to sell by not stealing uninsured cars and how the main character is above dealing drugs while nearly killing hundreds. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 28, 2025 Success in 1.75 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Rick H @RT08552950 Jun 15, 2025 Great movie. Very entertaining. The remake socks. They should have left it alone. See more D E @warroad Feb 11, 2024 So bad. Opens with incoherent voice over chat for 20-30 min. Get worse from there...... See more Chris Z @Chris_Z Feb 7, 2024 I'm guessing this movie got its inspiration from Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen. It's an interesting story, albeit made in the 70's, so the acting and pacing isn't fabulous, and compared to the remake, it's a little underwhelming. BUT.... if you want to see one of the greatest half-hour car chases in movie history, you have to check it out. The car chase is unreal. Worth a look if you're nostalgic for the original versions of the Hollywood remakes. See more Read all reviews
