Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Woodyanders Irascible LAPD captain Gibbs (a amiable and dynamic portrayal by country singer Hoyt Axton) goes after master thief Maindrian Pace (writer/director H.B. Halicki) after Pace steals a car belonging to his obnoxious son-in-law Carl (a lively and amusing performance by Dan Grimaldi). Moreover, a South African drug lord pays Price and his crew to boost 48 cars for him. Halicki keeps the flimsy, but still enjoyable story zipping along at a constant brisk pace, maintains an engaging lighthearted tone throughout, and stages the copious rousing car chases and fender-bending vehicular carnage with rip-roaring aplomb. The last thirty minute extended car chase in particular is simply spectacular, with more than enough burnt rubber and mangled metal on hand to satisfy aficionados of this sort of stuff. Sure, the bulk of this flick is recycled footage from "Gone in 60 Seconds," but it's still a total blast just the same.

MrMuscleHead What a rip-off! Deadline Auto Theft is actually the original Gone in 60 Seconds with some very minor editing. It is well established that Gone in 60 Seconds 2 is unfinished and this shows the stunt sequences that would have been in that film. That amounts to about 33 minutes of car chases with no storyline to speak of. If you've seen the original Gone in 60 Seconds, acquiring this film will be an extraordinary waste of time unless for some reason you insist on seeing the complete Halicki body of work, in which case, the special features are quite nice. Everyone else should rent this, or the original Gone in 60 Seconds, not both.

BroadswordCallinDannyBoy This is basically the cult classic 'Gone in 60 Seconds' with some added plot and few a few extra heaps of twisted metal.H.B. Halicki wanted to improve upon his initial successful film, so in conjunction while shooting the sequel 'The Junkman' he squeezed in some time to shoot the few extra scenes seen here. The result is pretty worthless. Like many camp classics, it is not plot or aesthetic quality that makes them good. It is the tongue-in-cheek nature that makes them fun romps. Can you imagine 'The Evil Dead' being "improved" upon? Sounds stupid to even consider, though Sam Raimi is trying to get a remake off the ground. However, he is pretty much starting from scratch with that, while here you have the same film with scenes added years later. The differences between these scenes are so apparent that it becomes ridiculous. Styles of clothes and even the condition of the old and new shots is so inconsistent that you'll be thinking an ape edited the film.What is even more disappointing that the "additions" don't add anything. They merely stretch out a film which goes against the whole point of good editing where you trim for good pacing. Also, the new chase scene in the beginning is highly mediocre and the climatic chase from the original is here untouched so by the time you get past the middle of the film you've seen it all before. The funny thing is H.B. Halicki's widow introduces the film as if it were a totally new movie on the DVD introduction.So only watch this if you want to see the famous 40 minute chase scene and cannot get the original in your hands. Or if you want to see an overblown array of car crashing that is the only thing that H.B Halicki managed to shoot for yet another chase film , but was killed in a stunt accident. That comes as a special feature on the DVD. But it is really nothing special and gets well beyond the line of ridiculousness with its slow motion, ever mounting metallic carnage. That essentially amounts to this film being waste of time. 2/10Rated PG for metal crunching mayhem

Uffe-13 This is not a sequel to "Gone in 60 seconds". It is actually the same old 1974 film with new scenes inserted (apparently filmed at the same time as "The Junkman"). This sometimes look a bit strange, since some of the 1974 footage is rather scratched. What I find most curious about this film is that I have never found it in any movie encyclopedia. Not even Leonard Maltin mentions this alternate version in his review of the original Gone in 60 Seconds.
