    If Tarantino or Ed Wood made this, reviews would shout, "Cult Classic!"
    Saw this free on youtube... This movie was hilarious. Imdb says Made in Sherman Oaks...CA (I need to watch it again since I live in Sherman Oaks.) I loved it.

    It has surprise after surprise...I don't care if it's real history. Neither would Tarantino.

    Look at those 1930's cars......real classics. Also has a great song performed...pure camp genius and fast pace.
