Stingray

It's a shame that this film is so deathly boring and mind-numbing my repetitive. I love how some of the chase sequences are done; the camera work is exceptional. Sadly the chase scenes all amalgamate into very identical and repetitive sequences. The film is too slow, drags on slower than the useless American cars in the film and should be only 1 hour in length. That being said, the film does have its funny and exciting moments with a strong premise. So, it's a bad film, but is funny and unique with a cult-like appeal. It's worth a Sunday night watch, but never again, unless you want to blow your brains out.

This movie is something you want to see on a Saturday night. And it's never boring to watch.

It's like a small comedic version of "The Getaway". Only different. Here you got a couple of drug dealers that killed two undercover cops and would stash the drugs and money in a Corvette Stingray. Little do they know that the car is already bought by a couple of car enthusiasts, who have no idea what is going on. First, they are sought by the police because there's a tracking device in the money stashed in the backseat of the car. And the police are so inept, they think that the owners of the car are cop killers. While the real ones are chasing them down trying to get the money back. When they get a machine gun toting dame on their side, it's three times the trouble. But it was four when they went to chase one of the two Stingray owners. But one of them knows how to fight back.

This crime comedy is fun and high octane, but make sure that you have enough gas to watch it.

2 out of 5 stars.

Friends Christopher Mitchum and Les Lannom buy A 1964 stingray filled with dope and lots of loot,put there by two crooks after killing A stoolie.Now Sherry Jackson and her goons go after Mitchum and Lannom,shooting anyone who gets in their way.Very violent,but overall it's A great car chase,action/comedy flick that was up there with other low budget,car chase films like Gone in 60 seconds and Roger Corman's Moving Violations. Christopher Mitchum and Sherry Jackson (Who by the way is good looking),is good for their roles.A must for those who are into action movies.

There are some ways to get a DVD of this film. Since there is no more message boards, I"m giving some PAL format versions. There are two being sold on Ebay. One from Germany and one from England. Any true movie enthusiast should have that capability on a machine, so it's not all that hard to acquire it.

The previous poster succinctly and successfully described the plot of a movie that is what show business should be today. The one liners from "icy calm" Lonnigan are priceless and the driving is superb. Jerry Taylor, the director, did it right when he put the long Stingray chase scene to the beat of the unknown country song "Hi Gear" sung by Gerry Riopelle. "We won't be slowing down because we're driving these wheels into the ground" This film is a must see and should be stored on DVD!!!!
