It would get a 5 or 6, but it has more sentimental value to me. I saw this movie on HBO in 1976. I was 8 years old. It was the first movie on HBO I ever saw. We were one of the first people we knew to even get HBO back then. I loved the soundtrack, Elton John-Benny and the Jets, Karn Evil No. 9.. ELP. Though the plot and acting were B, the Soundtrack to Picture was pulled off well. Oh, and did I mention a HOT ROD movie? Paul LeMat does a 360 in the middle of the Sunset Strip with his race ready 67 Camaro. Its worth seeing just for that. I can remember the engine blows and he starts driving a black Vette. But the music is well choreographed with the drag racing. I think this movie propelled me into being a gearhead and drag racing. It also helped me appreciate matching a soundtrack well with a movie. Always will be a favorite of mine.
