That's so awesome. It looks better than Tarantino's Death Proof installment in Grindhouse. Really. I've already got thirty plus movies in my Netflix queue, but I think I'm going to have to put that one on and move it to the top. "Yeah, if I run into a wall or something." Soooo funny.
I love that shot of the car going over the cliff in a diagonal past the camera. Pure car crashing goodness! I'm sure if they ever remake it, that scene will be all CGI with the viewer's POV entering the grill, travelling through the engine, and exiting the tailpipe. Blech.
Not a rip off. This, Gumball Rally, and Cannonball (not the Cannonball Run, although it's based on the same event) all came out in 1976, a year before Smokey and three before the Duke boys. But I've said too much! Have to save it for the review.

That looks hilariously awful. Did Smoky and the Bandit or Dukes of Hazard already exist when this came out? How much of a rip-off is it?

Ah...I remember this one from my golden youth.
