Storyline

Every year Scott Robertson, a generally admired Yale student, and his screw-up mate C.J. Longhammer from Minnesota cross the Wisconsin border for a wild night. Scott has a girl in his Saab, but as usual must return to the bar as CJ started a fight and this time Scotts adoring kid brother Robbie is with them, and just was about to lose his tormenting virginity. Scotts fists get them out. They are followed by a black Cadillac, make a risky drive on the lake to shake it, allow Robbie to take an urgent leak and give a lift to a neighboring sheriff, Charlie, who has car trouble in Arctic weather. The Cadillac keeps following and even ramming them, so they start wondering why and suspecting each-other, and it gets worse...

Trivia

Spoiler: In several scenes, a black '57 Series 62 Sedan is substituted for the Series 75 limousine. Since the roof and rear window is completely different on the two cars, a fake roof extension had to be created for the Series 62 model. It was this car and not the limousine that drove off the cliff into the frozen lake at the end of the film.

User Reviews

Not bad for its budget.

I was up about 2 in the morning and as I channel surf on iO i

notice a title I recognize, Black cadillac. So i start to watch and

initially some glitches occur and I can tell this is a low budget film.

No matter it hooks me from the begining and next thing I know I'm

enthralled by the story.

The story follows two brothers and their friend as they find

themselves pursued by a mysterious black cadillac, after a series

of unfortunate events occur at a local bar. The story is a familiar

one and it is also full of cliches, the "different" friend and the

shrimpy brother. Its all good though cause the movie is actually

pretty well made. It overcomes the cliches and achieves what it

set out too. entertain. 7/10. good old popcorn fun, well directed

and kudos to the director for using every dollar to his advantage.

Oh and by the way watch the clips of the cars carefully. They use

the same clip segments countless times. Its pretty funny.
