SMOKEY BITES THE DUST 1981 (SHOUT FACTORY)

This is nothing more but a drive in movie..period. Roger Corman took several scenes from earlier movies and edited them into this one to save money, and you have a 90 minute mvie with more car crashes and explosions than you'd ever see anywhere else.
Jimmy McNichol is a young man who steals cars and takes a girl he likes on the ride of her life. That is the plot....aand that is all.
It's too easy to tear this movie apart, but suffice to say it is ok for what it is, but don't expect a lot.
The cast also includes lovely Janet Julian, Dick Miller, William Forsythe, and Mel Wells as Abu Habib Bibubu. Chuck Griffith directed and I still believe Chuck was a much better writer than a director.
