Movie Reviews of Rollercoaster
Movie Review: An extra star for the band.....
Summary: 5 Stars
There is a problem with looking at something years later - a generation raised on cutting edge SFX may find earlier efforts quaint at best, hokey at worst. Just remember - this surround sound film was the cutting edge for its day. The rollercoaster wipeout in Final Destination 3 is much better. And it should be.
This is a very good film. Helen Hunt in her 1st role. Good coasters. And, oh yes, the review title....this is a 4 star film, but as a serious fan of the extremely underrated band Sparks I give it an extra star for including them. They are shown performing at the climax of the film at (No, it wasn't Six Flags at this point.) Magic Mountain.
Put it in, grab the popcorn, enjoy. ; )
Movie Review: An excellent cat and mouse thriller.
Summary: 5 Stars
A young man (Timothy Bottoms) sabotages amusement park rides in an attempt to extort money from their corporate owners. Standards and Safety Inspector Harry Caulder (George Segal) - who inspected the first ride to fall victim to the young man - understands that the extortionist should not be underestimated. His warning falls on deaf ears, save for the young man, who ropes Caulder into helping him. Rollercoaster is one of my favorite suspense films from the seventies, thanks in large part to solid (albeit workmanlike) direction by James Goldstone and a witty, intelligent script by Richard Levinson and William Link. The cast delivers fine performances as well. Highly recommended.Movie Review: Rollercoaster Terror

It's more of a Scary Summer-July 4th movie. It has Helen Hunt as Steven Segal's daughter,Harry Caulder is a safety inspector,who goes to investigate the now defunct Ocean View Amusement Park.someone put a bomb on the rollercoaster,and it was a young man.It also stars Henry Fonda as Steven Segal's boss.He also strikes at another park,but in a dark ride,nobody was hurt in that ride.He also strikes at Six Flags Magic Mountain,still open and Six Flags Great Domain or something like that.Movie Review: This film is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this film! I'm a little biased as I'm a coaster enthusiast and there aren't that many decent coaster films around, but this really is good! The suspense is great, the soundtrack is cheesy fairground - which is great and it just personifies the 70's to me. I'd love to ride some of the coasters in the film, but living in the UK makes it hard! If you love cheesy 70's thrillers such as Earthquake, Towering Inferno, etc. then this is another "must see" for you.Movie Review: 1977 Special Effects Supremecy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a rollercoaster disaster movie made in 1977. While that should be enough alone, I suppose I can go into further detail. I won't give away too much, but at some point in the movie there is in fact a rollercoaster crash. Keep the year 1977 in mind and you should just about have it. Yes, it was probably the single funniest scene I have ever seen captured on film. If only there were more scenes in the movie like it.........
