Movie Reviews of The California Kid
Movie Review: The Car is the Star
Summary: 5 Stars
The California Kid ostensibly stars Martin Sheen, Michelle Phillips, Vic Morrow, Nick Nolte and Stuart Margolin; however, in my opinion the chopped, and flame painted 1934 Ford three-window coupe (built by Pete Chapouris of "Pete and Jake's" fame) is THE star of the movie! Although the movie is a little "dated" (side pipes? I don't think so!), it still is worth watching for the first appearance of the Kid; looking through the "mail slot" window at the louvered flamed hood always gives me a thrill.
I waited for a long time for the movie to become commercially available (even owned a "bootleg copy DVD" bought from who-knows-where). Highly recommended, if only for the vicarious thrill of watching this iconic hot rod outrun the vicious, sadistic sheriff, played by Vic Morrow.
Summary of The California Kid
A forgotten action gem about a young man (Sheen) who faces off against the sinister sheriff (Morrow) who killed his brother. Featuring the most daring and amazing car chases this side of Bullitt, The California Kid burns rubber with a dynamite cast, including Academy Award nominee Nick Nolte. Vic Morrow turns in one of his finest performances as the twisted sheriff, a man with nasty habits that must be seen to be believed. A wonderful, action-packed film, filled with exotic antique cars and beautiful mountain vistas.Similar DVD Movies
