Review of Smokey Bites the Dust (1981) by Michael W — 10 Dec 2012
After months of planning, the big day arrives as the town sweetheart Peggy-Sue Turner (Janet Julian) prepares for her debut as Homecoming Queen, while her father, Sherrif Turner (Walter Barnes) keeps a constant vigil on his pride and joy. Meanwhile, high-school senior Roscoe (Jimmy McNichol) has secret plans for Peggy-Sue, plotting her abduction at the Homecoming ceremony. The sherrif leads a posse of police cars in hot persuit. They are no contest for the devil kidnapper however, whose clever manoevers send police cars flying in all directions. Crash follows spectacular crash as the hapless police hilariously destroy their own fleet.
Also stars Patrick Campbell, Kari Lizer, John Blythe Barrymore, Kedric Wolfe and William Forsythe.
Directed by Charles B. Griffith.
