Look at that truck crashing and blowing up! It has nothing to do with the plot! |
No, this movie isn't about trucks. It's about race cars, specifically this sleek white Jaguar driven by the equally sleek Dorothy Malone. |
Dorothy is the fast one, and John Ireland is the furious one. He's an escaped prisoner who doesn't take to answering questions, not even if they're asked by Zach Galifianakis. |
John takes Dorothy and her car hostage and won't even let her go to the bathroom. |
They cleverly elude police roadblocks because their car is so inconspicuous. |
John still doesn't let Dorothy go to the bathroom ... |
... until they enter a road race as a way of escaping to Mexico. |
At the race Dorothy meets an old flame ... |
... but she's starting to take a liking to John ... |
... and when they shack up together overnight they create a few sparks of their own. |
Then it's race day! |
John has left Dorothy behind for her own safety... |
... and through the miracle of rear projection he crashes past customs and into Mexico. |
But wait! Dorothy's old flame is involved in a startlingly realistic crash with a twig. |
By stopping to save the old flame, John demonstrates his decency. And he and Dorothy start smokin' again. |
Another great Screen Capture Theatre!
