Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

videorama-759-859391 Back when Sheen was making a name for himself, this cute little action pic came out. The movie that rides on too little, is a simple revenge tale about a wraith (ghost) apparently a car that Sheen is driving that picks off our baddies, the first one being Ryan O Neal's son. It can vanish like that or suddenly appear, but it does exist. Thick haired, Nick Cassavetes, a very versatile actor, is just the guy you need to play the head baddie, Packard Walsh, and he does it well, while the one goofy looking guy, with the glasses, I'll never forget. Packard likes to race people for their cars, even if the drivers are disinclined. One driver had got fresh with his girl, so he killed him, in a quite nasty scene, hence the revenge, that follows in the mysterious form of Sheen. Hot property, Sherilyn Fenn, one of the film's attributes, especially in red bikini wear, catches the eye of Sheen, the new kind of dorky boy, in town. Worked it out yet, yeah, she's Cassavete's girl, so that really doesn't really sit well with him, so now I've guessed you'd made out the climax. Sorry. Even though there's not much that makes up the film, that watching these faded stars, early in the prime, is enough to carry it along, but that's all it is, an unimpressive yet well acted time passer. Cassavetes had also acted in a film earlier, where the black car was also the star.

gwnightscream Charlie Sheen, Nick Cassavetes, Sherilyn Fenn, Clint Howard and Randy Quaid star in this 1986 sci-fi film. This begins one night with an otherworldly figure, a wraith arriving on Earth in Arizona. Meanwhile, a vicious gang led by Packard Walsh (Cassavetes) drag race against a couple and win taking their car from them. Soon, the wraith starts drag racing against Packard's gang members one at a time killing them with his car. Fenn (Just One of the Guys) plays Packard's girl, Keri Johnson who meets Jake (Sheen), a new guy in town and they start falling for each other. Quaid (Vacation) plays police lieutenant, Loomis who investigates why the mysterious driver is targeting Packard and his gang. Keri eventually learns that Packard killed her boyfriend, Jamie Hankins some time prior and is persuaded by Jake to break free from him or she'll become his prisoner. Keri soon discovers the true identity of the wraith after his climatic showdown with Packard. Howard (Evilspeak) plays nerdy mechanic, Rughead who works for Packard. This is an underrated 80's flick that shares the same revenge formula as "High Plains Drifter," "The Crow" and "Mad Max." It features a good cast, neat effects, thrilling race sequences & great score. I recommend this.

tomgillespie2002 So we find ourselves again in the heady, glossy '80's. A film that would delight any 10 year old; special, fast, shiny cars in high-speed races on Arizona desert roads. What more could a boy ask for? Well, in the case of The Wraith, we also have a supernatural avenging spirit.A gang of leather-clad "punks" lead by mullet-wearing Parkard (Nick Cassavettes), 'bothers' teenage drivers, and forces them to race for the possession of their cars. And they don't play fair. Packard is obsessed with Keri (Sherilyn Fenn), and believes that she belongs to him. We are offered glimpses of backstory in an incident where she was caught with Jamie Hankins, and the gang murder him. At the same time that Jake (Charlie Sheen) arrives in town, a visible apparition of possible alien origin arrives in a futuristic-looking sports car: A wraith with the intent of avenging his death (yes, he is the spirit of Jamie; revenge is his motivation). What proceeds is a series of repetitive kills, as the wraith races with the gang and blows their car (but not their bodies) to smithereens. In a different decade, this post-Knight Rider-like ghost-revenge flick, could have been less, well, 1980's. it focuses more on the fast-car elements, and less on the spiritual nature of post-death revenge. It's not a bad film, just very predictable and as I previously mentioned repetitive. There are hammy turns by Randy Quaid (Sheriff Loomis), and Eraserhead- haired geek, Rughead, by nerd regular Clint Howard. This adds nothing to the film, except for decade-cliché. The film bizarrely had a poster that was directly descended from the Back to the Future (1985) promotions (i.e. a figure exiting a vehicle with bright-white light emitting from the drivers door). The wraith itself is clearly lifted from the Japanese Manga character introduced in 1985, The Bio Booster Guyver (which was also turned into a Hollywood film in 1991). The costume almost identical.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

metalrox_2000 It amazing at how the film moves along, doesn't get sidetracked, and presents a very interesting camp fire style story.The film is centers around the arrival in town of Jake. Jake quickly befriends Billy Hankins and Keri Johnson. However, by doing this, he runs afoul of Packard Walsh.Walsh is a charismatic, yet evil leader of a gang of thugs who race and cheat people out of their cars. They are desert rats who feel they own the roads.As we learn, they are also murderers. Not long ago, they brutally murdered Jamie Hankins, as he was having sex with the afore mention Keri Johnson, a girl that Packard desires, and will stop at nothing to make sure she is his for life.As the gang challenges Billy Hankins to a race,a black turbo interceptor pulls up. The challenge is on, and gang member Augie Fisher is more than happy to take him on.Instead, Augie becomes the first victim, because they aren't racing your average driver. They are racing a spirit that has returned to Earth to avenge his own death. Augie crashes over the cliff, and his car becomes a twisted, burning wreck.WHen he is pulled from the car, his body is unmarked, but his eyes are missing. This is soon the fate for another member of Packard's gang, Minty. Skank and Gutter boy are killed when the Wraith crashes into the gang's garage. However, the Wraith doesn't kill Rughead, since Rughead had nothing to do with his murder.The wraith finds Packard, standing with a knife, ready to kill Keri. The Wraith challenges Packard to a race. It's a race to the death that climaxes with both cars crashing into each other, causing a massive explosion.Jake meets up with Keri, and has now revealed his true identity. He is in fact Jamie Hankins, and has returned so that he and Keri could be together. After dropping off the turbo to Billy Hankins (who after Jake/Jamie leaves, has now figured out that the Wraith was indeed his deceased brother).The film closes out with Jamie and Keri driving off into the desert, finally able to fulfill their destiny of being together.
