Roadhouse 66

Summary: Loads Of Fun Along Route 66!
Review: After he gets his radiator shot at by three local toughs, Beckman(Reinhold) and hitchhiker Johnny(Dafoe) find themselves stranded in a small Arizona town over Labor Day weekend. Soon, they meet Jesse, the owner of the local auto parts store,(played by Lee) and her just home from college sister, Melissa, (played by Vernon). After getting the radiator fixed, they spend time hanging in the local tavern (The 66), where they meet up again with the trouble-making trio. Aggression builds between the two sides, as does attractions between Beckman and Melissa, and Johnny and Jesse. Beckman, who is driving a 1955 Thunderbird, decides to enter the local Labor Day race (Open only to cars made before 1966), pitting him directly against the three (or so it would seem). Great drama and action follows as does excellent rockabilly music provided by a powerful and driving soundtrack. Just a fun and very entertaining movie. -Skeets.
