This is not a sequel to "Gone in 60 seconds". It is actually the same old 1974 film with new scenes inserted (apparently filmed at the same time as "The Junkman"). This sometimes look a bit strange, since some of the 1974 footage is rather scratched. What I find most curious about this film is that I have never found it in any movie encyclopedia. Not even Leonard Maltin mentions this alternate version in his review of the original Gone in 60 Seconds.
This film is a rare bird; a TV movie made by the horror master John Carpenter. He has borrowed a lot from Hitchcock, but that does not hurt in this case. The story is straightforward and very exciting, about a woman being watched by a mysterious man, but the ending is really a disappointment. A shame, since the rest of the film is so good. Still very well worth seeing, though.
This film is both clever and funny, but it bombed with critics and paying customers. This is really a shame, since there is much to enjoy in "North". Dan Aykroyd is funny as a filthy rich Texas millionaire, and Elijah Wood is, as usual, very charming as the title character, who goes out on a trip to find a new family. Young kids will not understand some of the jokes, but "North" is nevertheless fine family entertainment.
