Any person who spouts the hoary maxim "they don't make them like they used to" has never bothered to delve into the really bad movies of the past. Yet a movie so silly is hard to hate. I mean, this was basically made to show in drive-ins. The teenagers in the audience probably weren't going there for the movie anyway. Actually a sequel to a movie called Hot Rod Gang, the movie attempted to appeal to kids with the promise of drag racing and ghosts. It delivers very little on those promises. There's a race right at the beginning. Another occurs near the end - off screen. The ghost is a Scoobie-Doo like guy who wants to scare the teenage protagonists away from their new gearhead clubhouse (the plot makes no sense whatsoever). The teens are the squarest imaginable. They don't want to break the law by drag racing - it happens sometimes, though. There's a lot of bopping to sub-par rock and roll. The chicks are cute - especially the really tall, nerdy one with glasses (dating the nerd, of course). They dance around in their nighties at one point. There is also a talking parrot, a talking car and a goofy spinster aunt. This is actually pretty high up on the list of the worst movies I've ever seen, but, like I said, it's so embarrassing that I can't help but have a bit of affection toward it.
