Death Car on the Freeway (1979)
aka Wheels of Death
Director: Hal Needham
Starring: Shelley Hack, George Hamilton, Frank Gorshin, Peter Graves, Dinah Shore, Abe Vigoda, Morgan Brittany
Hal Needham is somewhat of a religion here at the Hex....When the world gets a little too crazy, it always seems like a healthy dose of Megaforce can always be counted on to restore the equilibrium....It is with that in mind that we proudly present his made for TV psycho van-de-force, Death Car on the Freeway. An amazing cast (Abe Vigoda AND Dinah Shore!!) brings to life the perfect vehicle for Needham's stunt background. The straightforward plot - A psycho in a 70s van is vehicle manslaughter-ing women on the freeway - finds its real footing with some tremendous car crashing and stuntwork. That and the fact the this psycho blasts mystery heavy metal on an dashboard 8 track player before he kills is priceless! Show this one to the kiddies to remind 'em how it used to be done, back when people risked more that carpel tunnel syndrome on a computer mouse to bring screen thrills to life! Needham's comments on the news cycle's hunger for violence rings truer than ever today - keep an eye our for his cameo as the driving instructor (wearing his staple silver Firebird jacket!!!)
