DVD Reviews of The California Kid

DVD Review: Exceptional For A Made-For-TV Film
Summary: 4 Stars

Got a Hot-Rod heart? Interested in a tale where the bad guy gets undone by his own scheme? 'The California Kid' might just be what you're looking for. Based on actual tales of speed-traps set up in rural areas to bilk unwitting travelers, this film captures the look and feel of one such scenario. Vic Morrow plays the scheming sheriff and quickly earns the scorn of the audience - a mark of a good actor. After he causes the death of two sailors who are only trying to make it back to their base before they're considered AWOL - Martin Sheen shows up in his sharp looking '34 Ford Street Rod, looking for answers to his brother's death. He quickly sizes up the situation and without explanation develops a plan to expose the sheriff. Good co-star performances by Michelle Phillips, and Nick Nolte round out the 'known' actors in this film - but the rest of the cast performs just as well. Better than expected for a made-for-TV movie.

DVD Review: The Kid arrives....on DVD!!
Summary: 4 Stars

FINALLY after watching this for years on a lousy tape copy, The Kid arrives on DVD!! My only wish is that they would have also included the SPEED CHANNEL 25th Anniversary Special. Hmmm.... perhaps a SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION is in the works for a future release that will include this special with interviews with Kid builder Pete Chapouris, producer Howie Horwitz and revisiting the town "Clarksburg, CA" used in the filming. Never got to see this on SPEED CHANNEL.... or any where else for that matter.

I have always dreamed of owning my own Kid someday but sadly I'll have to settle for the movie. This is a MUST HAVE MOVIE for any hot rodder or car nut and is enjoyable over and over!!!

DVD Review: Review of California Kid
Summary: 3 Stars

As a car nut, I've always read about the flamed 34 Ford coupe in this movie. The car is an icon in the hot rod world. I had never seen the movie, it's not in the video stores and it never runs on TV. Since it was inexpensive, I decided to buy it. It was a thrill to see the car at last. The movie wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's really dated but was enjoyable.

Description of The California Kid

A forgotten action gem about a young man (Sheen) who faces off against the sinister sheriff (Morrow) who killed his brother. Featuring the most daring and amazing car chases this side of Bullitt, The California Kid burns rubber with a dynamite cast, including Academy Award nominee Nick Nolte. Vic Morrow turns in one of his finest performances as the twisted sheriff, a man with nasty habits that must be seen to be believed. A wonderful, action-packed film, filled with exotic antique cars and beautiful mountain vistas.
