Tony Crawley Starburst It has a few delusions of grandeur, but the pace is fine, the effects very special and the footage shot in the Arizona desert is simply terrific. Jul 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Mark W The story is better than the execution. I was expecting a bit of a Mad Max rip off but got no more than a low octane road movie. The stunts are well executed and Lee Majors is always worth a watch. But the story and the pacing are dull as dishwater. There’s a very good film buried deep within this mess. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Audience Member When you're like 10 years old when you see the movie a few years after it came out, it was a fun move to watch. Now with the push for EV's, to me, the movie takes on new meaning and wonder if we're headed in this direction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It's somewhat entertaining and parts are exciting, but the plot is full of holes. I would have liked to have had more revelation, at the end, as to the real nature of the oil shortage and epidemic. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Awkward B movie about a futuristic America where cars are outlawed by the totalitarian regime. The protagonist fixed up an old car and began to travel to oppose the dictatorship and the government officials race after him to stop his rebellion. Good intention but terrible executed as an excuse of a film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting at times but overall dull this car v. plane pseudo-postapocalyptic movie makes eye rolling anti-gub'mint points. It features some interesting scenes, more specifically the showdowns between stars Lee Majors (the six million dollar man) as a rebellious race-car driver in a car-less world and Burgess Meredith as the retired pilot sent to get him. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I like the Last Chase movie, and find it a good watch. The scenes where Lee Majors goes out to the highway from the transportation centre were filmed in Toronto on the Allan Expressway near Yorkdale Mall. It is great to see all the bicycles and people walking down the Allan rather than cars and trucks. It was obviously a low budget picture with many poor quality action stunts. However the basic story is solid and the movie does make you think about freedoms. If it had been filmed ten years later even, the special effects could have been more realistic. But overall the movie is believable and fits into the same category (what ever that is) as the movie Omega Man with Charlton Heston. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
