Summary: a film written by sycophants......
This is a classic example of a film written by people who attempted to use
their typewriters whilst licking the star' feet. It stars Evel Knievel, the
famous stunt-person, playing himself as the most courageous,warm-hearted and
saintly hero-person one could ever wish to see. Even if it had been a good
film, it would have been too much. As it is, the whole film is as bad as its
leading character.
See drug-runners Leslie Nielsen and Albert Salmi convince Evels'
ambitious protegee that they are good guys. See them plot to kill our hero
during a stunt tour in Mexico and bring his coffin back to America stuffed
with drugs.See Gene Kelly (sadly but laughably) as Evels'loveable old-soak
of a mechanic agonise over whether to love or reject the young son who has
run away to be with him. See Lauren Hutton.as a cynical press photographer
who learns to admire and Really Care For our dashing hero.See Kelly, who has
been drugged and kidnapped, going cold turkey in a rehab centre, and see
Evel disguised as the sort of nurse that wears gold bracelets and large
shiny rings, rescue him. Most of all see Knievel give the sort of
performance that makes amateurish sound good.no, most of all, do not
bother. Check for other user comments.
