Movie Reviews of Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (Supercharger Edition)
Movie Review: Classic movie with a shocking ending
Summary: 5 Stars
Just watched this dvd after not seeing the movie since around 1978 on television. What I remembered seeing when I was young was a couple of guys riding around in a Dodge Charger causing trouble and being mean to this girl, along with the shocking ending. Seeing the movie once again, I realize it is much more than that. There is some great humor and a lot of spectacular stunts that you will not see these days. But I want to emphasize this: the movie is more character based than one might think. Larry is pretty much the white trash who treats Mary like trash. Deke is not friendly with her in the beginning either; however, later there is a sense of something that might have continued in a relationship between Deke and Mary. This is what makes the ending very sad, along with the fact that Larry and Deke had big dreams of making it big in racing. I did not catch on to this when younger, and figured they all got what was coming to them in the end for causing so much trouble. I now see the movie in a completely different light than before - and you will too.
This dvd is highly recommended - buy it while you still can and preserve this movie in your dvd collection.
Summary of Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (Supercharger Edition)
Mary and Larry are two lovers, who , with Larry's ace mechanic, kidnap the daughter of a grocery store owner, and make off with the ransom. They are chased over hill, over vale by the cops, who deploy everything from 426 Hemis to helicopters to stop Larry's Dodge ChargerSusan 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
