Car Crash (1980)
Italy
Director: Antonio Margheriti
Starring: Joey Travolta, Ana Obregón, Vittorio Mezzogiorno, John Steiner
Margheriti MACH 2!!!! That's right - Antonio Margheriti tackles the world of car racing as only he can...the great title sequence might lead you to believe that this story has a time travel component as well...but we think they just got a little carried away with the stock footage. Who knows, maybe it WAS a meticulously constructed time travel tale and all the SciFi elements got chopped for the US release - no matter, it seems to be primarily about stock car racing. A pretty standard tale; you have the underdog hotshot car racers, the girl and bag guys that want races thrown...but add Joey Travolta in the lead role and, whew, things just always seems a little, well...off...like, a weird edge that's hard to describe. Somebody sure did decide to put all their starpower eggs in a strange basket! It must've sounded great at investor clam bakes we suppose...Margheriti is always a fun trip though, and Car Crash is no exception. Racing aficionados trying to place all the found footage to actual race car classes and eras will have a fun drinking game on their hands!
