Review of Eat My Dust (1976) by Kevin R — 10 Jan 2015
There's whiskey and blood on the pavement.
Darlene is the hottest girl in town and Hoover has obtained the hottest car in town. Hoover will do anything to impress Darlene so they go on a wild ride of fun and breaking the law. Things get hot, but misinterpreted. There is an obvious short term connection based on the ongoing events, but can Hoover turn this into a long term relationship?
"I'm not impressed by reckless driving.".
Charles Griffith, director of Forbidden Island, The Little Shop of Horrors, Up from the Depths, Smokey Bites and Dust, and Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II, delivers Eat My Dust. The storyline for this picture is fairly straightforward and reminded me for Grand Theft Auto (also with Howard) or The van. The cast includes Ron Howard, Clint Howard, Charles Howerton, and Christopher Norris.
"Just because I have a stupid name doesn't mean I'm not worth going with.".
I am a huge grindhouse movie fan and have been dying to see this for some time. I finally got around to watching this and felt it was just okay (a little like Two-Lane Blacktop). This isn't a classic like Vanishing Point but is a fun movie for the time (more like The Van). Overall, I recommend seeing this if you're a fan of the muscle car or grindhouse genres.
"They are not dangerous.".
Grade: C+.
