A fun little romp in the brain of a car crazed, American teenager. "There is a lot of money tied up in this film and people expect to hear a boom when something blows up, so I'll give them a boom."

It was absurd and nuts in a way Disney usually isn't -- yet played straight, with Kurt Russell's steady narration reminding me of the later A CHRISTMAS STORY and THE WONDER YEARS. I know I saw it at the theater before a Disney film -- whatever film followed has long disappeared from memory.

This is before corporation lawyers were careful about stuff like that.

The part I remember best is probably the school's driver's ed. segment. The lady on the sidewalk in the bikini. The bankrobbers. "Did you get the license plate of that car?" Hysterical!

I think a few scenes were cropped to make it a short for the theater. Really bare DVD -- the only choices are "PLAY" and "SCENES". Not even the usual ten minutes of "Coming Soon" ads! (You know, that's so odd I wonder if it's not an "unofficial" version.) No matter. At last it's mine!
