Summary: one of my favorite movies of all time
Review: The Wraith is awsome!

the movie is about a kid named Jamie Henkins who gets killed by a car gang led by Packard. the rest of the gang includes Oggie, who drives my favorite car, Minty, Clint Howard (forgot his character's name) and my two favorites, Skank and Gutterboy.

a new kid suddenly shows up to town named Jake, who is really Jamie in his new form and comes back to take back his love, Keri Johnson.
from here, the action begins. the car the wraith drives, from what i heard, is a Dodge Turbo Interceptor, custom, and awsome! the best car in the movie.
after racing Oggie and Minty and getting his revenge on them, he then runs head on into their warehouse where they kill the lively duo of Skank and the Gutterboy. these two are hilarous and if for not the cars, then these 2 hooligans will keep you watching this film over and over.

Packard, after denying that Jamie, the wraith has come back for him, Packard is confronted by the wraith in a cemetary where Pack sees his own grave! in one last brilliant race, the Wraith and the Turbo race Pack and his corvette. the ending is brilliant. head on crash, ball of fire, just flat out awsome. this movie is awsome!

movie stars Charlie Sheen, Randy Quaid, Clint Howard, and Sherilyn Fenn. great movie.

Summary: Great 80's Hero/Revenge Story with a tough of love
Review: I was 16 or 17 when I saw this movie and I loved it. If you are looking for a deep, serious, modern, adult, tear-jerking drama, you don't want this. Having said that, this is an otherwise very cool movie! It is one of my favorite movies of the 80's (top 20) and an early masterpiece for Charlie Sheen. Hero ghost comes back and gets revenge, scores points with the girl, and sets up his bro with a hot supernatural car... sounds a little cheesey? Hey, it's a 1986 action movie about a ghost coming back for revenge! But, for it's time it is EXCELLENT! I recommend it. The car is incredible and yes, I want one. To this day (I'm 32 now) I look for photos of it on the web. The Dodge Turbo Interceptor. Anyway, the movie is a good action/revenge movie with a hint of comedy and an awesome soundtrack. "Where's the Fire" by Tim Feehan is fantastic and ahead of it's time!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A wonderful put storyline and good old American Muscle Cars!
Review: The movie was so cool the cast,cars,storyline,plot and music. If you are a car nut like me this is the perfect movie for you. There is cool music from the movie like Ozzy Osborne,Lion,Honeymoon Suite,Billy Idol,Richard Palmer,and Motley Crue. The gang is cool how they take your car if you lose the race against them and then they fix up the cars they win and give it new paint jobs and put cool parts on the car for to stand out. All the cars in the movie rock like a '84 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z,a '77 Trans Am with Mag wheels and with a blower stickin' out of the hood to top it off nice and tall,a '80's Corvette driven by the leader of the gang with a silver paint job and red trim and a Turbo Interceptor in black that looks like a concept car from the future and that is the car that kills the whole gang. It has a good love tale to the movie and a really good revenge against the gang that killed him when he was alive in the past and it has a really good ending at the end of the movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Where were some of the spots filmed?
Review: The credits simply say the movie was filmed in Tucson Arizona. Although this is a start I'd like to know where Big Kay's burgers was filmed and also that lake where everyone was simming in near the beginning.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great 80s teen revenge flick
Review: I had not seen this in years,but it holds up very well,even better than 90% of any new teen flicks.This is kinda like a fun and more cheerful version of "the crow".Its got plenty of action,language and a bit of nudity,especially for a pg-13 rating. there are no extras,but the picture is very clear,only full screen,but given the company that released it, thats not a suprise.Its a flick that is well worth checking out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: for the review that wanted location of big kay's burgers
Review: there is a site (www.fast-rewind.com) that gives the locations of where the burger stand is and alot of other details about the movie....

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fantastic movie... Lousy DVD!!!
Review: This is one of the greatest movies to come out of my mid-teens. For the longest time, the only way to buy it was on really s@*ty reprints. The one I had, the f@*king picture didn't even fit the screen. This DVD is a cheep production, but thank god, at a cheep price. If your a fan of the movie, or not, I would recomend buying it.

Don't get me wrong, the clean up on the film is astounding, but thats all you get. The fun of DVD's for the most part is all the extra s@*t you get. More often than not, I enjoy watching those more than the movies themselfs. My theory is, that this company put out a generic release to see what the response would be, and maybe if its strong enough they might do a 'special edition' of the film. Lets hope so, because this is one of the best movies Charley Sheen ever did!

Give us the goods please!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Should've been on VH1's "I Love The 80's"...
Review: When I was a kid, this movie had me and my friends talking for weeks. The car featured in this flick was way ahead of anything we'd seen on the road back then, and we all of course wanted a car just like it when we grew up. Still haven't got one yet, but watching this DVD makes me want a kick-a** ride like that, even after all these years. A great and (sadly) long forgetten diamond-in-the-rough film about a guy using his tricked-out wheels to get the ultimate revenge on the adolescent bullies who killed him.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Science Fiction
Review: This is a great film. It has some of the best elements of action, science fiction, and even the paranomal.
The only thing I think it could have used is the character Billy actually using the Turbo Interceptor once his brother left.
I further think there should have been an offshoot movie from this that dealt with the place where Jamie was when he was made a wraith.
