DVD Reviews of Hot Rods to Hell

DVD Review: "Fifty Five is fast enough!" ( ( * * * 1/2) * 1/2 )
Summary: 5 Stars

Dana Andrews' drinking got him into plenty of trouble. For example, it landed him the lead in this 1967 movie, originally made for TV, which was given a theatrical release for its "intensity". HOT RODS TO HELL is, despite itself, a minor low-budget classic. I love One-and-a-Half-Star movies. They always transcend themselves.

Andrews is Tom Phillips, who is badly injured in a collision with a drunk driver. Unable to keep working, he decides to semi-retire and take up as the owner-manager of a small roadside motel in a small California town where he, his wife, his teenage daughter, and his young son can live quietly.

What nobody (particularly the motel's departing owner) tells the Phillips family is that the motel is being sold because it has become the hangout of a gang of local hot-rodders who are making the townsfolk miserable. When Phillips shows up, the hot-rodders decide to run him off. The local authorities decide that their own homegrown troublemakers are preferable to these strangers who have shown up and are now so unreasonably demanding protection from all this pointless harrassment. The cops do nothing.

Instead of sensibly packing it in and leaving his obviously wonderful new neighbors and their obnoxious auto club in the rear-view mirror, Phillips decides to have a turf battle with the hot-rodders on their turf---the roads around town. This private war ends in a terrifying game of "chicken."

As a kid, this was a scary movie. The storyline is at least ten years out of date, belonging more to the 1950s than the 1960s, but the modified Detroit Iron in this picture is a real treat, and the hammy acting and unlikely situations have made this a cult classic well worth having and watching.
