Review of The Last Chase (1981) by Senor C — 16 Jan 2011
Your Canadian tax dollars hard @ work starring Lee Majors (well there's 6 million dollars right there). In 2001 cars are outlawed & former race car driver Majors tries to break free & drive his Porsche to California w/ weenie social outcast Chris Makepeace in tow.
This would have been much better w/out him (like Meatballs & My Bodyguard wouldn't have better films w/ someone else cast) & just been a straight Carploitation flix w/ Majors running west from the government agency & Burgess Meredith trying to gun him down in a fighter jet.
Unfortunately the budget is so small you never really get a good confrontation between Porsche & jet (just some cat & mouse) & this special government agency only has 3 people working for it.
May have been better if it got a Hollywood budget behind it instead of being caught up in the Canuxploitation moment. Uninteresting character development is poor replacement for hardcore driving action.
