Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Modeled after 1963's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Jerry Zucker's Rat Race lacks the irreverence of Zucker's 1980 hit Airplane! but has enough chuckles to make it an agreeable time-killer. Like Mad, Mad, Mad..., it employs a huge ensemble of comedy stalwarts, assembled by an eccentric hotelier (pearly-toothed John Cleese) to race from Las Vegas to New Mexico for a $2 million jackpot. With a backstage gambling subplot, Rowan Atkinson's Italian-geek lunacy, Seth Green's slacker antics, and some nicely understated work from SCTV alumnus Dave Thomas, the movie has almost as many highlights as clunkers, and Zucker's embrace of easy gags and traditional slapstick will tickle anyone's old-fashioned funny bone. Other ingredients are hopelessly stale: Whoopi Goldberg's frantic mugging, Cuba Gooding's latter-day Stepin Fetchit, "mature" humor that compromises the movie's broad appeal, and the assumption that crashing vehicles are inherently hilarious. Lamentable decisions, perhaps, but Rat Race maintains a pleasantly altruistic spirit. --Jeff Shannon

    George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) directed this 1988 comedy that gives star Chevy Chase one of his better-quality vehicles. Chase plays a New York sportswriter who turns to the country for a simpler, happier way of living. He discovers, of course, that things don't work out that way. Hill's usual touch with comic timing, tone, and dialogue give Chase a rare career opportunity to be part of something a little classier than most of his other movies; but Funny Farm nevertheless has its share of so-what gags. Still, the film's overall tone is winning and laid-back, and it makes for nice escapist fare. --Tom Keogh

        Product Description

        This DVD contains a variety of films that explore the 50's hot rod phenomenon as well as Mobilgas "Safety and Economy: competition. The hot rod films are wrapped in stories about how youthful energy can be converted to something constructive and controlled by joining hot rod groups and expending their energies in a more constructive manner. These films contain excellent footage of 50's style hot rod, rat rods and street rods, drag racing and NHRA competitions and meets - a must see for any serious hot rod buff. As a bonus we are also including a film from the 1930's showing a classic Soap Box derby. While not really a hot rod film as there are no engines involved, lots of folks who built these racers as children grew up to embrace the hot rod mentality in later years. As such, it makes an interesting backgroud piece to add to this fascinating collection. Here are all the films that make up this two hour historical collection: Ingenuity in Action (1958) - Sound, Color Run time: 26:24; A Cool Hot Rod (1953) - sound, Black & White Run time: 26:10; Road Runners (ca. 1952) - Sound, Black & White Run time: 11:46; On the Run (1956) - Sound, Color Run time: (film is incomplete - this portion runs for 12:39); Show 'Em the Road (1954) - Sound, Color Run time: 26:05; The All-American Soap Box Derby (1936) - Sound, Black & White Run time: 10:26
