Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Joy Ride follows the familiar conventions of road-movie thrillers with enough vitality to make everything old seem new again. A confirmed master of neo-noir suspense, director John Dahl (Red Rock West, The Last Seduction) sets a consistent tone of humor and horror as Lewis (Paul Walker) and his black-sheep brother Fuller (Steve Zahn) drive from Salt Lake City to pick up Lewis's friend Venna (Leelee Sobieski) in Boulder, Colorado. En route, they play a practical joke via CB radio, inviting vengeful terror as an unseen trucker (voiced with exquisite menace by Silence of the Lambs villain Ted Levine) pursues them with relentless, homicidal aggression. Inevitable comparisons to Steven Spielberg's Duel fail to appreciate Dahl's unique talent for energizing B-movie formulas while injecting his own brand of rib-tickling excitement. While Zahn deserves extra credit in his first top-billed role, Joy Ride wins a badge of honor for everyone involved. --Jeff Shannon
Description
It's all fun and games whene two brothers (Paul Walker and Steve Zahn) take off cross-country to bring home a pretty college friend (Leelee Sobieski). But the jokes end when a prank backfires and they find themselves stalked by a vengeful trucker who won't give up his relentless chase until somebody pays with their life.

3 out of 5 stars ENJOY THE RIDE.......2006-12-28

Paul Walker and Steve Zahn play two brothers on a road trip who make the mistake of their young lives when they make a fool of the wrong guy. Bored with the endless road between them and their destination, the brothers call up a random trucker on the CB and after a little role-playing hook the clueless Rusty Nail up with the imaginary Candy Cane. But when Rusty Nail finds somebody other than the girl of his dreams waiting for him at an out-of-the-way hotel, things quickly go from bad to worse, and before they know it the brothers are fleeing for their lives. And when Paul's lovely sort-of girlfriend, Lelee Sobieski, gets sucked into the game, Rusty Nail's revenge goes over the top.

Not bad as road thrillers go, JOY RIDE is pretty exciting and keeps the viewer guessing. The acting is quite good, especially from Lelee Sobieski, who plays a damsel in distress who is both vulnerable and strong, and the ambiguity of her relationship to both brothers adds an interesting dynamic to the plot. There's really no sense comparing it to Speilberg's DUEL--it's a much different movie despite some general similarities, and anyway DUEL is just much better. JOY RIDE is fun and suspenseful, but the humor often misfires and some of the twists are ridiculous and the ending is cheap. This is one of those movies I really enjoyed once but have no real desire to watch again--once you know how it turns out, there's no reason to go back for more. Recommended for a rental, but probably not a purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Exceptionally Good Movie!.......2006-10-31

Wow! I was very impressed and surprised by this one! I give the special features 10 STARS!

I have wanted to see this one since it was advertised on television many years ago. For some reason, I just never got around to it. I rarely see movies in the theater anymore, and I just never got around to seeing this on DVD. Recently, I went on a budgetary required fast of DVD purchases. I just recently joined an on-line DVD rental service, and this has been the best decision I've made, since deciding to marry my beautiful wife!

I am a big Paul Walker fan. He really is a good looking actor, and his acting skills match his good looks. He's a man's man, with a super smooth style. I have a feeling he's a lady's man, in real life! And Steve Zahn is hilarious! I think both of these parts were perfectly filled by these two young actors. Also outstanding is the young female part, played flawlessly by Leelee Sobieski.

I sometimes don't get a chance to view all the special features on a DVD, especially when I rent it, but thankfully I decided to try to view all of the special features on this one. And I'm so glad that I did! This DVD included three or four extended and alternate endings. I have a feeling many movies film extended and alternate endings, but choose not to include them on the DVD. I say shame on them. I really appreciate when the company chooses to include it, as, in my opinion, it adds tremendously to the viewing pleasure.

There are also three commentaries for the entire movie. I listened to the one from Steve Zahn, which was hilarious! He's a really funny guy.

The movie was very well done. The cinematography was excellent! I have a component Video set up on my HD TV, and the colors were brilliant and the scenery was beautiful throughout. In particular, the colors of the Police cars and the Motel lights throughout was brilliantly done. I like how this movie featured a part of America rarely seen in Hollywood films.

A great October movie to rent or purchase!

4 out of 5 stars A Surprisingly Very Good Film!.......2006-10-16

"Joyride" is a much better film than I had first expected. The film centers around two young brothers on their way to New Jersey. The brothers, Fuller Thomas (Steve Zahn) and Lewis Thomas (Paul Walker) are on a long journey; and to break away from their boredom they both decide to fool around with their CB radio. Imitating a woman named Candy Cane, they contact a truck driver whom they both tease. Moreover, they also set up a date with this trucker at a scheduled place: Not thinking what they are doing will have serious consequences later in the film. While messing with this unknown truck driver they wind up encountering more than just a random talker on the other end. The trucker has a serious mental problem.

Moreover, although they do not know who this truck driver is, he knows who they are. Therefore, you have a suspenseful chase with an unknown killer who does not find the prank these two brothers pulled on him to be very funny. Wherever they go, the trucker is right behind them. However, as the highway's are full of other truckers, they have to take more extreme caution as they don't know who or what they are dealing with. Eventually, they realize their mistake in that the trucker they pulled the prank on is very demented: And he is out for revenge. This is one joke that takes on a life-or-death meaning. The film is very good and suspenseful. I highly recommend the film, as it is full of suspense and thrill's that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars "Duel" For The Millenium.......2006-07-17

In "Joy Ride", the Director John Dahl (Last Seduction, Red Rock West, Rounders)pounds you right from the beginning and never lets up.

It's "Duel" updated for the millenium and for a contemporary audience.

Two brothers, Paul Walker (Fast and The Furious) and Steve Zahn (Shattered Glass) take a road trip to pick up Walker's college girlfriend (Leelee Sobieski).

Using a CB radio, they play a practical joke on a trucker who turns out to be the biggest movie big rig psycho since Rutger Hauer planted a finger in C.Thomas Howell's french fries.


What the trucker, whose CB handle is "Rusty Nail" does to exact revenge keeps the audience on edge for the film's 97 minutes.

(Note: one of the sequences in the chillingly directed and edited climax cribs gleefully from "Silence of the Lambs")

Dahl pulls of the the difficult challenge of blending scares with a few laughs with little effort..he's a wildly talented director with a taste for hip, off beat material.


Dahl directs from a script by JJ Abrams ("Lost") and Clay Tarver

The voice of "Rusty Nail" is supplied by the great Ted Levine.

Note: not long before "Joy Ride" began shooting, the studio decided it wanted a different ending, supposedly a few alternate endings were shot, one of which, running 29 minutes, is included on the DVD which also includes Eric Roberts vocal audition as Rusty Nail...Roberts obviously lost the gig to Levine.

4 out of 5 stars "Candy Cane, come in Candy Cane...".......2006-07-15

'Joy Ride' casts Walker, Zahn and Sobieski in a suspence filled horror film about a crazed 18-wheeler. The film, directed by John Dahl, finds our young cast traveling cross country. Lewis (Walker) is dieing to get a chance to pursue his 'friend' Venna (Sobieski) so when given the chance to get some alone time with her he jumps at the chance....theres only one catch. Lewis's brother Fuller (Zahn) was just arrested and needs Lewis to bail him out, which he does, and Fuller ends up tagging along on Lewis's jouney to meet Venna. Along the way Fuller and Lewis play a joke on a trucker using the handle 'Rusty Nail' (Ted Levine) and they end up biting off more than they can chew, resulting in a panic driven adventure where they never quite know what's going to happen next. The film really doesn't pick up til towards the end, and the final frames are heart racingly intense, and while the acting could have used a boost (Walker is one of the worst young actors on the screen) at least Zahn and Sobieski hold there own (moreso Zahn who is everybit hilarious as he is convincingly petrified). The film is not perfect, but effective and has quite a few jump scenes as well as genuine scares...wel worth a watch.

5 out of 5 stars Well worth a look!.......2007-04-27

This is a well studied cautionary tale about the potential perils of car crime. Newark in New Jersey had a reputation in the mid-90s for all kinds of car crimes including carjacking at gunpoint and this film cleverly taps into that era. There was talk about lines being crossed by Newark police officers back then and the movie takes a look at that also. I found it difficult sometimes to decide where to place my sympathies. Yes, the car crime itself is mindless and destructive as anyone who has had their car stolen will know but in the movie, the police often come off looking no better than the criminals they are pursuing.

Gabriel Casseus and Sharron Corley give very impressive performances as Midget and Jason respectively. If you're a car enthusiast like me and, like me, you didn't see this movie when it first came out back in 1995, you might feel the cars (which are important characters in this movie as well) date it somewhat but it's not overwhelming. The best thing about this movie for me though is that although it doesn't preach or moralise, it shows very clearly that for young black men, a life of crime can only lead to a limited number of conclusions. That said, when tragedy inevitably ensues, it's still very sad.

Props to director Nick Gomez - he often gets us right into the cars and takes us along for the joyrides - and props to Spike Lee and his 40 Acres & A Mule filmworks for executive producing the movie. I'll be watching this one again and again.

Banging soundtrack as well, by the way. I might actually get it on CD...


5 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2006-03-09

I purchased this movie for my teenager son, hoping he could see the harsh reality of what could happen to him following the wrong crowd. This movie showed all the basics and then some.

5 out of 5 stars True to life flick.......2005-10-27

This is about urban life ever made. Nick Gomez carefully winds his tale into car thieves almost into greek tradgy. In the lead role as Jason, Shannon Corley shows great leading staus. Jason is played as a character who wants a better life but is caught up with the street life.

1 out of 5 stars New Jersey jive!.......2005-08-13

If your IQ is under 25, or you want to be a crackhead, this movie is for you!

BIG UPS TO BRICK CITY & ALL OF JERSEY! NICK GOMEZ HAS DONE THE PROPER RESEARCH 2 CREATE "NEW JERSEY DRIVE"! EVERY 20 SECONDS SOMEONE WOULD BE A VICTIM OF A CAR JACKING ESPECIALLY FROM 90-98! IT'S NOTHING 2 GLORIFY, BUT IT'S "FACTUAL"!!!! IF YOU DROVE THROUGH THE CITY WITH AN EXSPENSIVE RIDE THEN "YOU WILL FALL VICTIM"! **IT'S A COMPELLING ROLE DONE BY JASON/"SHARON CORLEY"... I'M NOT SURE WHERE HE'S FROM BUT HE'S WELCOME 2 MY BLOCK ON "G.T" ANYTIME! ON N.J. DRIVE YOU'LL BE ABLE 2 TELL THE REAL COPS THAT STIVE 2 CLEAN-UP THE STREETS FROM THE BEAST WHO ARE CORRUPTED & ADD COMMITS CRIMES DAILY!!!! THE CORRUPTED BEAST WOULD HARRASS JASON/S. CORLEY & HIS' CREW ON A REGUALR BASIS...SO MIDGET/GABRIEL CASSEUS OPT 2 BUCK SHOTS AT THEIR SQUAD CAR (GOOD)! **(KNOW YOUR RIGHTS)** JASON & MIDGET WERE LIKE BROTHERS... DAY-IN & DAY-OUT A MEMBER OF THEIR CREW WOULD BE KILLED OR INJURED. JASONS' & MIDGETS' FRIENDSHIP BEGAN 2 CRUMBLE AFTER MIDGET LEFT JASON IN THE PARKING LOT WITHOUT NOTICE JUST 2 STEAL A CAR! OFFICER ROSCOE WAS THE HEAD-RAT OF THE PACK, HE ATTACKED JASON & OTHER MEMBERS OF HIS' CREW...ROSCOE WAS ARROGANT & A DAMN IDIOT 4 THINKING THAT HE WOULD WALK DAMN-FREE AFTER HE SHOT RONALD LAMBS & BRUTALLY BEATEN OTHER BLACK TEENS!! RITCHIE WAS MIDGETS' COUSIN, RITCHIE RAN HIS' MOUTH AROUND THE HOOD SAYING THAT HIM, JASON & MIDGET TOOK A COPS' CAR SO TENSIONS AROSE... JASONS' SISTER JACKIE WAS THE RATIONALE 4 JASON & RITCHIE 2 START BEEFING...JASON TOLD JACKIE THAT HE DON'T WANT HER IN ANY STOLEN CARS & RITCHIE INTERVENED THEN HITS JASON... SO JASON HAD 2 REPRESENT & BEAT HIS' ASS THEN MIDGET BROKE IT UP. BEING THAT RITCHIE LOST HE MADE A BITCH MOVE & SHOT AT JASON (JASON DODGE IT OF COURSE)! I STRONGLY FELT THAT RITCHIE SHOULD'VE BEEN KILLED RATHER THAN TINY/FAISON, OR PEANUT! "THEIR LAST HOORAH", IS THE DAY PEANUT DIED, MIDGET RAN & JASON STOP RUNNING... JASON DID HIS' TIME CAME OUT & DECIDED 2 DO RIGHT! AFTER WITNESSING HIS' RIGHT-HAND MAN MIDGET DEATH ON THE NEWS HE SHED TEARS THEN DID A 360 TURN & WENT BACK 2 SCHOOL! ****"AS FOR RON BRICE,HE PLAYED TIKO MIDGETS' OLDER BROTHER HE NEEDED 2 HAVE A MUCH BIGGER ROLE" I'LL KEEP SAYING THAT!!!! (DON'T HATE ON THAT MAN) HA! THANKS 2 NICK GOMEZ FOR NOT ASSASSINATING CORLEYS' CHARACTER JASON IT WAS WORTH IT!** FOR ME N.J. DRIVE HAD A GOOD ENDING. ***IF ANYONE WANTS A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT "JERSEY" IS LIKE THEN GET "NEW JERSEY DRIVE" ON DVD! THE SOUNDTRACK WAS TOO HOTTT AS WELL IT HAS FRANKIE BEVERLY, ILL AL SCRATCH, REDMAN, THE LORDS OF THE UNDERGROUND & MY GIRL "QUEEN LATIFAH" ETC... HEAVY D WAS COOL HE HAD A FEW LINES... I WAS EXPECTING FOR QUEEN LATIFAH & REDMAN 2 HAVE PARTS BEING THAT THEY ARE ORIGINALLY FROM "BRICK-CITY,JERSEY" (YOU KNOW)!!!!

Joy Ride follows the familiar conventions of road-movie thrillers with enough vitality to make everything old seem new again. A confirmed master of neo-noir suspense, director John Dahl (Red Rock West, The Last Seduction) sets a consistent tone of humor and horror as Lewis (Paul Walker) and his black-sheep brother Fuller (Steve Zahn) drive from Salt Lake City to pick up Lewis's friend Venna (Leelee Sobieski) in Boulder, Colorado. En route, they play a practical joke via CB radio, inviting vengeful terror as an unseen trucker (voiced with exquisite menace by Silence of the Lambs villain Ted Levine) pursues them with relentless, homicidal aggression. Inevitable comparisons to Steven Spielberg's Duel fail to appreciate Dahl's unique talent for energizing B-movie formulas while injecting his own brand of rib-tickling excitement. While Zahn deserves extra credit in his first top-billed role, Joy Ride wins a badge of honor for everyone involved. --Jeff Shannon

Description

It's all fun and games whene two brothers (Paul Walker and Steve Zahn) take off cross-country to bring home a pretty college friend (Leelee Sobieski). But the jokes end when a prank backfires and they find themselves stalked by a vengeful trucker who won't give up his relentless chase until somebody pays with their life.

3 out of 5 stars ENJOY THE RIDE.......2006-12-28

Paul Walker and Steve Zahn play two brothers on a road trip who make the mistake of their young lives when they make a fool of the wrong guy. Bored with the endless road between them and their destination, the brothers call up a random trucker on the CB and after a little role-playing hook the clueless Rusty Nail up with the imaginary Candy Cane. But when Rusty Nail finds somebody other than the girl of his dreams waiting for him at an out-of-the-way hotel, things quickly go from bad to worse, and before they know it the brothers are fleeing for their lives. And when Paul's lovely sort-of girlfriend, Lelee Sobieski, gets sucked into the game, Rusty Nail's revenge goes over the top.

Not bad as road thrillers go, JOY RIDE is pretty exciting and keeps the viewer guessing. The acting is quite good, especially from Lelee Sobieski, who plays a damsel in distress who is both vulnerable and strong, and the ambiguity of her relationship to both brothers adds an interesting dynamic to the plot. There's really no sense comparing it to Speilberg's DUEL--it's a much different movie despite some general similarities, and anyway DUEL is just much better. JOY RIDE is fun and suspenseful, but the humor often misfires and some of the twists are ridiculous and the ending is cheap. This is one of those movies I really enjoyed once but have no real desire to watch again--once you know how it turns out, there's no reason to go back for more. Recommended for a rental, but probably not a purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Exceptionally Good Movie!.......2006-10-31

Wow! I was very impressed and surprised by this one! I give the special features 10 STARS!

I have wanted to see this one since it was advertised on television many years ago. For some reason, I just never got around to it. I rarely see movies in the theater anymore, and I just never got around to seeing this on DVD. Recently, I went on a budgetary required fast of DVD purchases. I just recently joined an on-line DVD rental service, and this has been the best decision I've made, since deciding to marry my beautiful wife!

I am a big Paul Walker fan. He really is a good looking actor, and his acting skills match his good looks. He's a man's man, with a super smooth style. I have a feeling he's a lady's man, in real life! And Steve Zahn is hilarious! I think both of these parts were perfectly filled by these two young actors. Also outstanding is the young female part, played flawlessly by Leelee Sobieski.

I sometimes don't get a chance to view all the special features on a DVD, especially when I rent it, but thankfully I decided to try to view all of the special features on this one. And I'm so glad that I did! This DVD included three or four extended and alternate endings. I have a feeling many movies film extended and alternate endings, but choose not to include them on the DVD. I say shame on them. I really appreciate when the company chooses to include it, as, in my opinion, it adds tremendously to the viewing pleasure.

There are also three commentaries for the entire movie. I listened to the one from Steve Zahn, which was hilarious! He's a really funny guy.

The movie was very well done. The cinematography was excellent! I have a component Video set up on my HD TV, and the colors were brilliant and the scenery was beautiful throughout. In particular, the colors of the Police cars and the Motel lights throughout was brilliantly done. I like how this movie featured a part of America rarely seen in Hollywood films.

A great October movie to rent or purchase!

4 out of 5 stars A Surprisingly Very Good Film!.......2006-10-16

"Joyride" is a much better film than I had first expected. The film centers around two young brothers on their way to New Jersey. The brothers, Fuller Thomas (Steve Zahn) and Lewis Thomas (Paul Walker) are on a long journey; and to break away from their boredom they both decide to fool around with their CB radio. Imitating a woman named Candy Cane, they contact a truck driver whom they both tease. Moreover, they also set up a date with this trucker at a scheduled place: Not thinking what they are doing will have serious consequences later in the film. While messing with this unknown truck driver they wind up encountering more than just a random talker on the other end. The trucker has a serious mental problem.

Moreover, although they do not know who this truck driver is, he knows who they are. Therefore, you have a suspenseful chase with an unknown killer who does not find the prank these two brothers pulled on him to be very funny. Wherever they go, the trucker is right behind them. However, as the highway's are full of other truckers, they have to take more extreme caution as they don't know who or what they are dealing with. Eventually, they realize their mistake in that the trucker they pulled the prank on is very demented: And he is out for revenge. This is one joke that takes on a life-or-death meaning. The film is very good and suspenseful. I highly recommend the film, as it is full of suspense and thrill's that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars "Duel" For The Millenium.......2006-07-17

In "Joy Ride", the Director John Dahl (Last Seduction, Red Rock West, Rounders)pounds you right from the beginning and never lets up.

It's "Duel" updated for the millenium and for a contemporary audience.

Two brothers, Paul Walker (Fast and The Furious) and Steve Zahn (Shattered Glass) take a road trip to pick up Walker's college girlfriend (Leelee Sobieski).

Using a CB radio, they play a practical joke on a trucker who turns out to be the biggest movie big rig psycho since Rutger Hauer planted a finger in C.Thomas Howell's french fries.


What the trucker, whose CB handle is "Rusty Nail" does to exact revenge keeps the audience on edge for the film's 97 minutes.

(Note: one of the sequences in the chillingly directed and edited climax cribs gleefully from "Silence of the Lambs")

Dahl pulls of the the difficult challenge of blending scares with a few laughs with little effort..he's a wildly talented director with a taste for hip, off beat material.


Dahl directs from a script by JJ Abrams ("Lost") and Clay Tarver

The voice of "Rusty Nail" is supplied by the great Ted Levine.

Note: not long before "Joy Ride" began shooting, the studio decided it wanted a different ending, supposedly a few alternate endings were shot, one of which, running 29 minutes, is included on the DVD which also includes Eric Roberts vocal audition as Rusty Nail...Roberts obviously lost the gig to Levine.

4 out of 5 stars "Candy Cane, come in Candy Cane...".......2006-07-15

'Joy Ride' casts Walker, Zahn and Sobieski in a suspence filled horror film about a crazed 18-wheeler. The film, directed by John Dahl, finds our young cast traveling cross country. Lewis (Walker) is dieing to get a chance to pursue his 'friend' Venna (Sobieski) so when given the chance to get some alone time with her he jumps at the chance....theres only one catch. Lewis's brother Fuller (Zahn) was just arrested and needs Lewis to bail him out, which he does, and Fuller ends up tagging along on Lewis's jouney to meet Venna. Along the way Fuller and Lewis play a joke on a trucker using the handle 'Rusty Nail' (Ted Levine) and they end up biting off more than they can chew, resulting in a panic driven adventure where they never quite know what's going to happen next. The film really doesn't pick up til towards the end, and the final frames are heart racingly intense, and while the acting could have used a boost (Walker is one of the worst young actors on the screen) at least Zahn and Sobieski hold there own (moreso Zahn who is everybit hilarious as he is convincingly petrified). The film is not perfect, but effective and has quite a few jump scenes as well as genuine scares...wel worth a watch.

Way back in 1976, actor-director Ron Howard made a bargain with shlockmeister producer-director Roger Corman. It went something like this: Corman agreed to produce Howard's feature directorial debut, the 1977 Grand Theft Auto, and Howard agreed to star in another of Corman's pieces of drive-in fodder, the quirky Eat My Dust! Written and directed by Charles B. Griffith (a favorite screenwriter of Corman's who penned the original Little Shop of Horrors, among many others), Eat My Dust! is as wacked-out as anything to come out of the American International Pictures factory, and it is still surprisingly fresh and funny. Howard plays Hoover Niebold, son of a small-town, no-nonsense sheriff (Warren J. Kemmerling) and a prime candidate for dreary obscurity with his nowhere job and dull love life. Hoover takes a risk and asks out a popular girl (Christopher Norris), but after she demands that he steal the car of a professional racer (Dave Madden), the young hero abandons his innocence for a wild ride. Griffith hammers on the chase action sequences, bolting a camera to the car's hood to instill maximum vertigo in viewers, and constantly finding new and witty ways to jazz up scenes of speeding autos terrorizing the roads. But the real hook is the film's distinctive mix of youthful energy and comic irony, the latter exploding in Griffith's gallery of rural half-wits and neurotic, middle-class stereotypes. A whole cloth Z vision of teen rebellion writ large, Eat My Dust! is a corker. --Tom Keogh

3 out of 5 stars Fun 70s Car-Chase Flick and... the Luscious Christopher Norris!.......2006-07-22

This is merely another one of those many 70s car-chase films. It's fun & mindless and features some beautiful rural California locations. Plus, how can you go wrong with the likable Ron Howard?

The film was a box-office success for producer Roger Corman, which naturally led to the demand for a sequel. But Ron Howard didn't want money to perform in the sequel, he just wanted the opportunity to write and direct it (not to mention act in it). Thus came the hugely popular "Grand Theft Auto," Howard's first REAL stab at directing. The rest is history.

This flick is merely okay, nothing special; what makes it worth purchasing for any red-blooded male is the supremely gorgeous Christopher Norris (yeah, it's a woman not a man). She's got some incredible God-given curves, to say the least, and she shows them off well in her skimpy hot-pants!

Of course, if you're a "Brokeback Mountain" fan there's always Ron Howard. (LOL!!)

2 out of 5 stars Misses the boat.......2004-07-11

One thing you will always get when you watch a Roger Corman film, whether the man produced or directed it, is a healthy helping of cheese. It doesn't matter who stars in the film or what sort of genre film it is, you just know what you're about to see will exude that instantly recognizable low budget fragrance. "Eat My Dust!" probably ranks in the top ten of Corman classics, not because it is better than any of the other schlock productions carrying the Corman tag but because Ron Howard stars in it. In case you just arrived on the planet, Howard played Opie Taylor in the rural themed series "Andy Griffith" before moving on to an even more successful stint as Richie Cunningham on "Happy Days." Nowadays, he's a big shot director and producer in Hollywood. Ron Howard's film career may never have gotten off the ground if it weren't for Roger Corman casting the young man in "Eat My Dust!" Moreover, the actor used his success in this picture to pressure Corman into letting him direct his first film, the quasi-sequel "Grand Theft Auto" a year or two after this picture. The rest, as they say, is history. Regrettably, although I've had some enjoyable experiences with a few other Corman films-"Humanoids From the Deep," as an example-I found "Eat My Dust!" an exercise in extreme boredom. The only reason to watch the film in the first place is to see Ron Howard in an early role, and even then it is barely enough of a reason.

Howard plays Hoover Niebold, a rip roaring young man just aching to stir up trouble in his hometown. Unfortunately, Hoover has several problems in his life. He's the son of Sheriff Harry Niebold (William J. Kemmerling), which is a bad thing to be when you're looking to date town cutie Darlene (Christopher Norris-yes, a girl). Harry Niebold is always riding Hoover about speeding around town or not working at his job delivering toilet paper to local businesses. Things come to a head when Hoover turns up at the local stock car track only to endure a withering rebuke from his father. Annoyed, Niebold the Younger spots Darlene sitting with her parents. He once again attempts to set up a date with the pretty gal, but she brushes him off with a statement to the effect that Hoover doesn't have a nice set of wheels with which to ferry her around town. Well, Howard's character spies a very nice car just a few feet away on the track, a car that just won the race. For some reason never adequately explained in the script, Hoover hijacks the car from under the nose of its incredulous driver (Dave Madden of "The Partridge Family" fame) and roars off with Darlene and a few friends.

Hoover and company never go anywhere except through the streets of this small town, endlessly pursued by his father and a passel of inept deputies. The kids destroy property, wreck cars, and generally terrorize the town over the next few hours. In one series of scenes, Niebold and his friends level a small farm while trying to escape from a deputy sheriff. So many townspeople fall prey to this group of hellions that the police station fills up with screaming citizens demanding action. Harry Niebold doesn't have a clue about what to do with his out of control boy, so he generally sits around the station pushing his hat up on his head, sighing, yelling at people, and watching tow trucks haul in the shattered hulks of his deputies' cruisers. After an interminable amount of time goes by, Niebold the Elder and a few of the stock car drivers finally formulate a plan of attack. What follows is about what you would expect from a crash 'em dash 'em derby movie: lots of over the top chase scenes, dumb good old boy dialogue, and the requisite feel good conclusion. A subplot concerning Hoover's unrequited love for Darlene has not only been done better a billion times before, but ultimately goes nowhere here.

The opening credit sequence of the film, where we see a car tearing up a country road from the point of view of the driver of the automobile, and Ron Howard's performance constitute the only two worthwhile things in this movie. Well, Christopher Norris's character, who looks a lot like a young Nancy Allen, strutting around in short shorts helps a bit too. But a movie cannot subsist on two or three small points if it wishes to succeed. The main problem in "Eat My Dust!" is the script: a tired, decrepit old dishrag of a thing dripping with so many clichés that it bored me to the point of exhaustion. The editing was sloppy, too, as was some of the acting. Too, for a movie that relied on car chases and crashes, "Eat My Dust!" is almost chaste in crunching metal and squealing tires. I guess I expected too much. At least we get to see several familiar faces: Clint Howard turns up in a small role, as does Ron Howard's father Rance. Paul Bartel and Corbin Bernsen also turn up in bit parts. It's unfortunate in the extreme the film fails to make adequate use of its talent.

Extras on the DVD consist of a short Roger Corman interview conducted by Leonard Maltin and a bunch of trailers. A movie full of unfunny gags, barely competent car chases, and pedestrian production values, "Eat My Dust!" is a film that only Ron Howard or Roger Corman completists need bother with. Looking back on the experience now, I am sure I spent more time looking at my watch than I did at the screen. 'Tis a pity, I say.

5 out of 5 stars A boy and his car........2003-07-17

One fun thing to do with movies under the Roger Corman banner is to try to notice all the film school-y things in them. *Eat My Dust!* turns out to be an American B-movie hommage to Godard's *Breathless*, which itself was a French B-movie hommage to American B-movies. In this movie we're given the Godard-brand of existential, rebellious hero who's main aim is the pursuit of kicks. Granted, Ron Howard ain't no Jean-Paul Belmondo, but he'll do in a pinch. We're also given the exact-same type of Grade-A American b---h/goddess that Jean Seberg perfected in Godard's movie: but here, she has the added virtues of hot yellow short-shorts accompanied by thigh-high white boots. She can be counted on to take a powder when things start to become a drag. But director Charles B. Griffith adds a number of elements missing from *Breathless*, such as the insistence on creating an interesting cast of supporting characters (goofballs and wackos every one), as well as consummately executed scenes of slapstick action that's reminiscent of silent-film chase comedies. Although Griffith never really accomplished anything else as a director, he's brilliant here, starting with the hypnotic opening credits: the camera is atop a car's hood, giving us an unseen driver's POV as the car eats up the country miles in revved-up fast-motion. There are also some well-executed smash-em-ups: police cruisers sailing through the air; muscle cars barreling down a 500-foot hill with a 45-degree grade. The ending strikes a surprisingly bittersweet note. It turns out that Opie's afternoon of playing hide-and-seek from the cops will serve as an apprenticeship: awaiting him is the lonely, dangerous, but exciting life of the professional racer. But regardless of all that, the bitchin Camaro rolls on with the final credits, and that's the important thing. Altogether, *Eat My Dust* is yet another dim-witted masterpiece from the Corman Factory.

4 out of 5 stars Another good car chase movie........2002-07-24

Ron Howard stealing a racing style 1967 Camaro and running away from the cops led by his own dad. Very funny and original, cool car. Hot chicks + fast cars + good casting = good buy.

1 out of 5 stars Eat my dust, then vomit it up.......2001-11-16

The only thing holding up this movie is the legs of the costar Christopher Norris(yes, she's a girl),which is why I gave it 1 star. A half star for each leg. I recommend it to anyone in search of a (...) car chase film that uses fast motion technology and third grade dialogue. Sorry, this one's not worth it at half the price. I shudder at the thought of watching the other Ron Howard movie (GTA)I bought when fulfilling my dream of owning every car chase movie ever produced. Don't do it, stay away.

3 out of 5 stars Thrillers that make for decent viewing........2006-10-04

Wrong Turn- 2.5/5. This flick should really be right up my alley. It's a gory backwoods slasher that pays homage to 80s horror, and it even includes a solid cast of genuinely talented young actors. Unfortunately, the movie never really generates much suspense, partially because it's too obvious who dies in what order and also because the movie is ultimately too generic and repetitive, what with the constant chasing through the woods getting pretty tiresome rather quickly. Still not bad viewing for slasher fans, though why a film of this nature that includes someone as unbelievably hot as redhead Lindy Booth doesn't feature any nudity is beyond me.

Joy Ride- 3.5/5. Easily the best film of the bunch, Joy Ride falls into the road trip horror subgenre. Steve Zahn and Paul Walker star as brothers who run afoul of a truck driver after they play a practical joke on him. If Joy Ride doesn't quite match the heights of Breakdown, Dead End, or Black Cadillac, it's still a well-crafted thriller that boasts a fast pace, appealing cinematography, likeable performances from Zahn and Walker, and a few very tense and impressive setpieces (the climactic roadside motel showdown is a nail-biter).

My biggest complaint is the presence of Leelee Sobieski. In general, I find her a competent and likeable actress, but her sudden inclusion into the picture halfway through puts a serious dent in the film's momentum (though it does ultimately recover in the last half-hour) and interferes with the great chemistry between Zahn and Walker.

Swimfan- 2.5/5. Essentially a high school version of Fatal Attraction, I actually found myself somewhat enjoying this film because of its solid performances and competent direction. Jesse Bradford is really quite likeable despite his initially idiotic behavior, and Erika Christensen pulls off the sleek and sex seductress pretty well. Shiri Appleby is also my ideal example of the perfect girlfriend, incredibly hot AND a sweet, caring and forgiving girl as well. The film doesn't stand out in any particular fashion, but it's perfectly watchable for undemanding fans of trashy thrillers.

3 out of 5 stars 1/2 star more.......2006-01-30

All these films range from 3 to 4 stars. While I found Joy Ride to be the best of the bunch, I have watched an enjoyed them all. The Vanishing is a remake about a man obsessed with his missing girlfriend. Wrong Turn is a pure horror film about travelers being stalked by mutant hillbillies. Swimfan is a teen fatal attraction. Joyride is 2 brothers who play a joke on a truck driver not realising he is a psychopath, which leads to a long chase. What ties these films together is the horror aspect, and the fact that they were made within a few years of each other. The Vanishing is the most out of place in this group. For 26 bucks for 4 decent movies, I think this is a good buy.

2 out of 5 stars Badly packaged..........2005-11-28

JoyRide, when it came out, was new, different, and interesting. Good choice. Swimfan, well the guy's an idiot ,but it's a new mix on the old fatal attraction formula. Wrong Turn. This one stumps me. Not at all original - and with eliza dushku, what would you expect? the video store is filled with low budget, stupid movies like this with similar titles... The vanishing is the one I don't know anything about, there should be a description. If you want something scary but original enough to buy, get Final Destination, Joyride, and pick something else

5 out of 5 stars Well worth a look!.......2007-04-27

This is a well studied cautionary tale about the potential perils of car crime. Newark in New Jersey had a reputation in the mid-90s for all kinds of car crimes including carjacking at gunpoint and this film cleverly taps into that era. There was talk about lines being crossed by Newark police officers back then and the movie takes a look at that also. I found it difficult sometimes to decide where to place my sympathies. Yes, the car crime itself is mindless and destructive as anyone who has had their car stolen will know but in the movie, the police often come off looking no better than the criminals they are pursuing.

Gabriel Casseus and Sharron Corley give very impressive performances as Midget and Jason respectively. If you're a car enthusiast like me and, like me, you didn't see this movie when it first came out back in 1995, you might feel the cars (which are important characters in this movie as well) date it somewhat but it's not overwhelming. The best thing about this movie for me though is that although it doesn't preach or moralise, it shows very clearly that for young black men, a life of crime can only lead to a limited number of conclusions. That said, when tragedy inevitably ensues, it's still very sad.

Props to director Nick Gomez - he often gets us right into the cars and takes us along for the joyrides - and props to Spike Lee and his 40 Acres & A Mule filmworks for executive producing the movie. I'll be watching this one again and again.

Banging soundtrack as well, by the way. I might actually get it on CD...


5 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2006-03-09

I purchased this movie for my teenager son, hoping he could see the harsh reality of what could happen to him following the wrong crowd. This movie showed all the basics and then some.

5 out of 5 stars True to life flick.......2005-10-27

This is about urban life ever made. Nick Gomez carefully winds his tale into car thieves almost into greek tradgy. In the lead role as Jason, Shannon Corley shows great leading staus. Jason is played as a character who wants a better life but is caught up with the street life.

1 out of 5 stars New Jersey jive!.......2005-08-13

If your IQ is under 25, or you want to be a crackhead, this movie is for you!

CORLEY & HIS' CREW ON A REGUALR BASIS...SO MIDGET/GABRIEL CASSEUS OPT 2 BUCK SHOTS AT THEIR SQUAD CAR (GOOD)! **(KNOW YOUR RIGHTS)** JASON & MIDGET WERE LIKE BROTHERS... DAY-IN & DAY-OUT A MEMBER OF THEIR CREW WOULD BE KILLED OR INJURED. JASONS' & MIDGETS' FRIENDSHIP BEGAN 2 CRUMBLE AFTER MIDGET LEFT JASON IN THE PARKING LOT WITHOUT NOTICE JUST 2 STEAL A CAR! OFFICER ROSCOE WAS THE HEAD-RAT OF THE PACK, HE ATTACKED JASON & OTHER MEMBERS OF HIS' CREW...ROSCOE WAS ARROGANT & A DAMN IDIOT 4 THINKING THAT HE WOULD WALK DAMN-FREE AFTER HE SHOT RONALD LAMBS & BRUTALLY BEATEN OTHER BLACK TEENS!!

3 out of 5 stars Joyride Review.......2003-05-29

For anyone teaching a course to young actors, screenwriters, or directors, this pic is an excellent tool. The problems inherent in the pic are just as instructive as its shining moments leaving a great deal of room to pick apart camera techinques, how the use of a musical score can detract from or add to a scene, and especially internalization of motive leading to choices an actor must make to infuse life into what otherwise could end up being a stereotypical, two-dimensional character.

Tobey Maguire has built a very respectable career on his sensitive, understated performances, yet the raw J.T. offers insight into Maguire's ability to branch out into personalities that are not always the "hero." Though his relative inexperience does show through in places, the strong believability of his interpretation of J.T. clearly shows the raw talent evident in even his early work.

By far the most provoking performance in the pic is the underrated Amy Hathaway as the internally tortured and physically exploited Tanya. A solid character interpretation from start to finish, Hathaway only stumbles when the script asks her for unnecessarily gratuitous lust, specifically the silly romp-in-the-car scene with Maguire. On a contrasting note, during the powerful bedroom scene with the Mayor, Hathaway shines by deftly conveying a deep-seated anguish for Tanya's unfortunate situation that is craftily hidden during the remainder of her performance.

Also highly noteworthy is Benecio Del Toro. It is common knowledge that small-budget productions can offer a wider scope of interpretation for an actor, and Del Toro demonstrates this to the fullest extent. A master of subtle physical acting, this early role showcases the talent that blossomed in later years. Along the same lines, Christina Naify as Ms. Smith does a nice job creating a real person out of a small amount of material by exploring physical gestures and vocal patterns that make up so much of a human being's personality.

All of the actors, and to a large extent the script itself, are nearly annihilated in many places by the exasperatingly poor musical score. Instead of developing in the viewer a deeper understanding of the character's interactions, the score is often bad enough to be considered a true "groaner."

A must-see for Maguire, Hathaway, Del Toro, and those quirky Adam West fans, "Joyride" is more interesting as a study of technique than great storytelling, but well worth the ride.

5 out of 5 stars Offbeat, Entertaining, full of twists. Enjoy........2002-08-13

Produced in 1996, this film is enjoyable on many levels. Drama, comedy, thriller...
Tobey Maguire shows his star power. He seems to be having fun with the role of J.T. Likewise his co-stars Wilson Cruz and Amy Hathaway work well together as three friends trying to escape their various situations in life. Adam West and Steven Gilborn are cast against type to advantage and a nice cameo from James Karen also add to the enjoyment. Benicio Del Toro is hilarious as the deadly serious Detective Lopez and Kenn Norman is believable as the sheriff. Also noteworthy is Judson Mills as Redneck Joey. Lastly I have to say Christina Naify is a standout as 'Smith'. At once sexy and deadly, she plays her part exceptionally well. Thoroughly recommended. The DVD has no special features of note, with the exception of a filmography and biography of Tobey Maguire. The print is excellent and the sound crisp. Buy It!

5 out of 5 stars SMITH rocks!.......2002-06-03

Hey "SMITH"! I'm impressed. Talk about out of character - you weren't like that in '82! I guess you've come a long way since then. I'd love to see you in many more movies - you go girl! If you see this review, contact me at B'mont's alumni site (we're having a reunion 6/22).

5 out of 5 stars joyride.......1999-11-28

This was an fascinating movie. The friendships and the reality of the move were refreshing and the fantasy was just as awsome. Oh and batman... too cool.

4 out of 5 stars Joyride was a fun ride.......1999-09-10

I enjoyed this film immensely. It may be contrived, but its still very entertaining. I wonder if Smith is the Smith from the film. If it is, I'd like to tell her that I really enjoyed the film. Everyone should check the film out. I saw it on HBO and really liked it.

5 out of 5 stars A formidable cinematic two-some.......2005-09-11

As a motion picture, From Hell is quite good. Just don't look for any truths about Jack the Ripper to emerge from the movie. While it is based on the Whitechapel murders and does an adequate job presenting some factual information (such as the locations and conditions of the bodies), the premise is based on a thoroughly discredited and rather laughable theory; there is also much fiction in the relationships of the murder victims, and many important events and individuals are ignored altogether. The film does a decent job of depicting Whitechapel, but it never really comes close to portraying the true filth and miserable conditions of the real Whitechapel, nor does it succeed in revealing the humanity of the unfortunate victims. Certainly one pities the poor women who must engage in prostitution merely to survive, but the utter hopelessness and darkness of their world does not really manifest itself in the movie. The portrayals of the murders themselves are quite good and were clearly done with an eye toward accuracy. Johnny Depp is wonderful as Inspector Abberline; Heather Graham is a wonderful Mary Kelly, but her character never really conveyed itself to me as a down and out prostitute. The characters involved in the murders and conspiracy, whom I will not name for fear of giving something away, are also quite good. I can accept and even applaud the "solution" this movie portrays, as there are a couple of really ingenious aspects of the whole conspiracy, and I felt the ending was quite proper and touchingly subtle. There is not an overabundance of horror, as the real dirty work of the Ripper is never shown to the audience, so the squeamish can probably make it through until the end with a minimum of head turns.

As an armchair Ripperologist, I am compelled to state that the identity of the Ripper and the complex story surrounding the "solution" here are not at all historical. The movie makers took as their premise a thoroughly discredited story, and on top of this they added several completely original ideas. For example, Inspector Abberline is here portrayed as an opium addict who has visions of the Ripper murders. The victims supposedly know each other and are marked out for death for a quite specific region. All of the juiciest Ripper gossip and wildest speculations are injected into this movie. For those with little knowledge of the Whitechapel murders, please understand that the murderer, whoever he was, was certainly not the culprit named in this movie. If you want to learn the history of these crimes, forget almost everything you see here. This movie is to be enjoyed as a dark, Gothic motion picture because that is all it is.

Joy Ride has everything you could ever want in a thriller, delivering 96 power-packed, intense minutes of movie magic. The DVD makes this great movie even better by dumping as many extras as is scientifically possible onto the disk. Director John Dahl and his crew got everything right: cast, plot, special effects, overall vision, etc. This is no insignificant achievement given the fact that the storyline of the movie is a familiar one that could have fallen flat in a number of different ways. Under Dahl's direction, Joy Ride delivers a uniquely impressive twist to a familiar movie formula.

This is Fate at work here, thinks Lewis, when his friend Venna (Leelee Sobieski) tells him she has broken up with her boyfriend, and he takes advantage of this opportunity by picking the girl of his dreams up in Colorado on his cross-country trip home from college. He also decides to backtrack 200 miles and bail his older brother out of jail. Fuller (Steve Zahn) left home five years earlier, seemingly just to try out for town drunk positions all over the Western US. Fuller has the bright idea of having an old CB radio installed in the car, and it is not long before he hatches up a prank to play on a certain trucker known as Rusty Nail. Lewis pretends to be a woman, gets the guy all worked up, and invites him to meet "her" that night in a hotel room occupied by a hateful fellow Fuller encountered in the hotel lobby: it's funny until someone gets his lower jaw ripped out of his head. The boys head on east a little bit the wiser, but Rusty Nail refuses to go away. The guys try to forget everything that happened by the time they pick up Venna, but Rusty Nail is still watching from the shadows and now sets his sights on the lovely young lady of the group. The suspense builds quite impressively over the course of the film, leading up to a climax that does not disappoint.

The three main characters are just normal people, and that helps contribute to the fear factor involved in watching their insanely difficult ordeal. The voice of Rusty Nail works wonders, as his faceless presence over the CB is incredibly chilling and powerful. In the midst of all this terror, though, the viewer will find plenty of comedy. Steve Zahn is simply hilarious as Fuller; he takes gleeful delight in the prank he masterminds, yet he is at his funniest when he starts wigging out in terror, as he does on numerous occasions. Paul Walker has his moments as well, and he really serves to keep the story grounded, offsetting the hyperactive mania of Fuller and the serious and frightened attitude Venna has to adopt after learning that she is in grave danger as a result of a moronic prank. Sobieski is, of course, her always perfect self, demonstrating her acting skills across the entire spectrum from brave, determined young woman to helpless victim. The driving force behind Joy Ride, though, is that big black semi that just keeps coming and coming.
