A tutto gas

This Canadian-made crap is my vote for worst film of all time. I noticed that the writer never wrote anything after this -- that is a good thing, obviously Hollywood never beckoned after witnessing this witlessness. The director made a handful of films I never heard of -- fortunately for us, nothing since 1987. Perhaps he's retired and living off of his "Gas" royalties. The plot concerns some nonsense about a fake gas shortage, obviously trying to strike a chord with the U.S.-OPEC based gas shortage problems in the early-mid '70's. Stupid, not the least bit funny. I wonder what the actors were thinking of when they signed on? The same year Donald Sutherland made this he also did "Ordinary People." I wonder if he bothers to list this one on his resume?

Wacky send-up of the gas crisis. This stillborn political farce centers around milk prices driving up gasoline prices. Just close your eyes and I'm sure you can predict the idiotic Arab gags.

The "conscience" of the movie is supposed to be Donald Sutherland as "Nozzle Nick" a helicopter traffic reporter. His 10 minutes on screen negate every good thing Mr. Sutherland has ever done.

Everyone who appeared in this one is a bad, bad person.

I was lucky enough to see the set of this picture in Montreal(by the way, most of it are torn down these days, among these: the two gas stations became Medical Clinics, the viaduct on Mountain Street is thorn down and now has housing, and the climatic end scene shot on the old LaSalle Coke fields is now a shopping mall...). The story seems promising, but when I saw the end result... Disappointing !

A boring, badly acted movie, very unpredictable, full of sexist and racist overtones (even Arabs are trashed here !) and one of the most tiresome and annoying car pursuits ever shot...

I pity everyone who participated in this. Even Donald Sutherland has done better... And the others ???? Gone with the torn sets and buildings which served for this "running on empty" turkey...

Another sad attempt to pass Montreal as an American city... Noticeable cardboard English signs over French ones and the false "Health Spa" set next to the Gas Station and that stupid statue... Producers learned from then....

A movie to forget...

Unbelievable bad acting, writing, production, and director. I've seen B movies that were Oscar winners compared to this train wreck. No funny moments whatsoever. Just lame one-liners within a horrible script. The director should have been shot.

I am so happy for the internet because it provides an opportunity to comment about the absolutely worse movie I've ever seen. When I saw GAS I knew it was bad. Over the past 25 years I've watched a number of bad films, but nothing impresses like this.

This incoherent waste of someone's ability to raise funds for a "movie project" is meaningful only for those who can appreciate the irony of the highest level of self-indulgence that fund raisers might provide. If you are curious as to how low someone might sink in the business of film making - watch this film.

Maybe you're thinking - oh this would be fun to watch with a group of alcohol or drug enhanced friends. Promise me to write the website when you do, because I truly believe you will say - "Drunk as I was, this movie stunk".

And Don Sutherland must have been on a fairly serious bender.
