Movie Reviews of Used Cars

Movie Review: Great, but with a caveat
Summary: 4 Stars

If you've never seen it, definitely check it out. It has aged surprisingly well and is good for a lot of laughs. But if you are like me, and grew up seeing this (i.e., its severely edited version) on TV once a year or so throughout the 90s, you might be in for a shock. All the jokes are still there, but there is loads of profanity. So much so that you might no longer recognize it as one of your long-lost favorites.

I have no problem with profanity when it is used comedically, or as a characterization device, but it's probably overdone in this movie. Just shows how the MPAA has changed by the decade in its approach to ratings.

Summary of Used Cars

Jack Warden is brilliant in a double role as two feuding brothers Luke and Roy L. Fuchs who own competing car lots and are trying to drive each other out of business. Rudy Russo (Kurt Russell) is Luke's ace salesman a charming and conniving cheat and liar who is merely in training for his true ambition - politics. In one of Rudy's most outrageous advertising ploys he hires a model (Penthouse Pet of the Year Cheryl Rixon) to strip on television and the all wind up in a crazy automobile stampede involving 200 vintage cars in a high-speed chase that becomes a free-for-all demolition derby.System Requirements:Starring: Kurt Russell Gerrit Graham Deborah Harmon Frank McRae and Jack Warden.

This 1980 film by director Robert Zemeckis gives no indication of things to come in his career (Contact, Forrest Gump), but it is representative of a certain cynical humor he shared early on with writer-partner Bob Gale. Kurt Russell and Jack Warden star in a sketchy comedy about competing used-car salesmen who resort to outrageous tactics to lure customers away from each other. The jokes, like the characters, are intentionally recycled, self-conscious comic fodder from a baby-boomer's lifetime (such as Gale's or Zemeckis's) of immersion in pop culture. That makes Used Cars more pastiche than original (the film's title itself suggests that), but as such it has some good, if vaguely familiar, laughs in it. Russell, particularly, is very funny as a practiced con man. --Tom Keogh
