Audience Member Shaker Run is one of those movies where you're yawning constantly and reaching for the remote to find something else to watch. That's about it in a nutshell. Even the presence of Cliff Robertston, who seems to be present only for constant gruff demeanor, doesn't make this movie watchable. Forget Leif Garrett. He's more or less a flatline. Lisa Harrow is annoying as can be as the lady with a secret. You just want to shake her and make her spill the beans about what's going on in the plot so it can get underway instead of just constant shot after shot of car driving. The only thing notable about the movie is its stunts, which some are pretty darn good. Otherwise, the movie is a total snoozefest and easily skippable, even on late night cable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member decent road action film with bad direction, bad plot, bad everything. but it works because of Cliff Roberts. watch it when you're in the mood for something cheesy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It doesn't really put a foot wrong in it's ambitions and execution. A great little film with action, car chases and superb scenery, all with a touch of 80s. I grew up with this film and still want that car. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Another of those car race flicks along the line of Cannonball Run, Gumball Rally ..... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Someone gave me this in one of those cheap / gag Christmas gift exchanges - I believe it cost them one dollar. That's about all this flick is worth, too - it's a made-for-TV movie if I ever saw one, 1980s-style. Watch out for Leif Garrett's mullet; that thing is dangerous! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this as a kid! Basically, a scientist hires a stunt driver and his mate to drive her the length of New Zealand with some biological crap she's stolen in their pink Trans Am. Then they're chased by a load of bad guys, shot at, and forced to do all kindsa impressive driving stunts. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
