Man...the end, when Jake is about to leave town and stops at the burger shop to give the car to his brother...and the moment his brother realizes Jake is really his dead brother....and he starts crying and yelling for him to come back. Gets me every time.
Thanks for ruining the movie DICK!!!!!! Next time say spoiler alert then tab down so we have to hit read more before you fuck up the next movie for someone. So selfish but im glad you got to say your 2 cents. 🤣🤣🤣
I never forgot this movie. I watched it so many times as a kid. This movie was like "The Crow" and "Fast and Furious" had a love child. Loved it, and so underrated.
The Wraith is one of my favorite films. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE a good revenge tale! You have Martin Sheen's son, John Casvette's son, Ryan O'Neil's son, Dennis Quaid's brother and Ron Howard's brother all in one film.
@@deanhinson4095 I guess his dad used to beat the hell out of him for little reason or no reason at all Ryan probably a papa John Phillips on his daughter Tatum when she was really young if some of the stuff you hear these days that happened in some of those young Stars really happened Hollywood should change its name to hollyweird
Of course, well spotted, but no one actually died, but good old Charlie is giving it a bloody good shot, don't die mate, you are far more interesting alive.
Here in Germany this movie is famous like E.T. or Star Wars. This movie is a legend over here. When we were kids, this was a real blockbuster. In Germany the name of the movie was not "The Wraith" but "Interceptor - Phantom of Eternity". BTW: The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer was also an awesome movie that is highly underestimated imho. This movie is brilliant.
Das ist doch Quatsch. Ich hab auf die Schnelle niemanden gefunden, der den Film kennt. Dafür kennen alle Star Wars und E.T.. Eventuell kam er hier in Deutschland besser an als in den USA, aber er ist sicher nicht annähernd so bekannt/beliebt wie z.B. Robocop oder Mad Max. Und diese beiden Filme hängen den beiden von Dir genannten Filmen schon deutlich nach.
@@34psbolide Also in meinem Freundeskreis kennt den Film jeder noch von früher. War damals bei uns in aller Munde. Wenn ich heute jemanden fragen würde, "kennste noch Intercepror - Phantom der Ewigkeit?" wäre sicher keiner darunter, der sich nicht an den Streifen erinnern kann.
@@ganimed1976 Mag ja sein. Das will ich auch nicht bezweifeln. Aber bei mir kennt ihn bisher niemand(Baujahr 1984). Ich fand es nur überzogen, ihn auf die gleiche Stufe wie Star Wars und ET zu stellen. Aber nichts für ungut. ;)
@@34psbolide Okay, ich geb zu dass das etwas überzogen ist. Aber bei mir im Freundeskreis kannte den echt jeder. Zumindest die Freunde, mit denen ich rum hing. Ich bin 1976 geboren. Meine Kumpels damals waren auch alle so 78er bis 81er Baujahr. Da kannte den Film wirklich jeder. Der Streifen ist Kult heute.
This movie is special for me as I used to watch it with my dad from the time I was a kid to a teenager. It's one of the great memories I hold dear after he passed. My dad would blast the music like he was a teen again. I had never wanted a car more then I wanted that one lol
I remember seeing this in 1987 and i was in awe at the time. A few months ago i actual caught the Wraith on tv from beginning to end. And Once Bitten came on after it, who remembers Once Bitten?
Ramon Bennett I have that movie on DVD. Even convinced my wife that James Carrey is Jim Carrey's twin brother lol. She is younger than me so she is a little gullible.
Now THIS movie deserves a reboot. A modern version of the Turbo Interceptor with a Viper engine please. Just no Charlie Sheen, I doubt he could take another morphing into the Wraith again, he would either morph into an ashtray, or Heidi Fliess's thong.
Wow this is unreal; that there are people that remember this movie. I have talked about this movie before to people and they look at me as if I have lost my mind. Thank you for bringing back a gem of the 80s.
You missed one other thing nobody knows. The Wraith's car was a Chrysler concept car. In fact, in some of the scenes, you can see a very faint Chrysler logo on the hood.
@@CycolacFan There were actually 7 cars built for the movie....but most people dont know it was the PPG Pace car for the Indy Car series... ppgpacecars.com/dodge-m4s-1986-ppg-pace-car/
I actually saw the special car hauler that was hauling the cars to the location as it went through Phoenix. This movie is a prime example why you should never listen to a movie critic. I rarely agree with them and typically I just ignore them. this is a great movie. You did miss one thing about one of the biggest stars of the movie though... the car the Wraith drives was a special Chrysler PPG Pace car that was loaned to the movie company for the movie. It was a one of a kind prototype and came with a whole crew of mechanics and engineers to maintain it. "He's no match for the 'Cuda son!" I didn't know about Johnny Depp though. I imagine the real reason he was hanging around was to keep an eye on his girlfriend around Charlie Sheen... knowing what we know now about both of those two people!
I remember the first time I saw this movie on cable. The one thing that really got to me was how sad I felt for the younger brother. Even at the end because he didn’t even know what was going on until The Wraith was leaving for good.
I ball like a little girl everytime because my younger brother died in 91. We use to watch this movie all the time. We were in our early 20`s and actually lived through all that with the hot babes, Iroc Zs and Trans Ams. haha
YES YES and YEEEESSSSSS!!! I’m literally FLOORED right now! Thank you SO MUCH for putting this up! Besides you’re the ONLY TH-camr that could EVER do this film any real justice! Loved the list, loved the graphics you’re simply the BEST!!! #1980sawesomeness 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤗🤗🤗😎🍿👌🏽👍🏽
This movie had all the ingredients for an awesome 80's movie. Great soundtrack, great car scenes, great story line, a little bit of humor, action & nudity. Yep! Totally 80's!!!!
Would Have Loved To See A TV Show Based On This With Billy Growing Up, Understanding The Power Of The Car And Becoming A Vigilante In Tribute To His Brother Jaime.
Seen it at least 10 times..Its pronounced WRAIIITH. A wrath is what your wife does when she catches you with her sister..You KNOW she'll kill you.Thanks for keeping a great movie alive mate.lol
It's a wraith man! A ghost! I live here in Tucson where it was filmed. Every local car club knows this movie quite well
4 ปีที่แล้ว +13
Apart from your calling it “The Wrath” occasionally @Minty, I love this vid! I first caught ‘The Wraith’ back when I was doing my GCSE exams, and i’ve loved it ever since. It’s underrated and cheesy but great fun regardless.
I love the Wraith, I first learned of it when I visited my father in Tucson Arizona where it was filmed. I moved there a few years later and most films that were filmed there really bring joy to me. Can't Buy Me Love is another one that just get me with it's Tucson-y goodness. Sadly it has changed a lot since these films were made.
Yeah, the soundtrack is great. I put together an extended version containing all of the songs heard in the film in play order back in 2010. Just one of the 591 officially released/extended soundtracks I have. :)
The studio must've bailed on promoting it, because I've never heard of it until just now, and was *exactly* the target demo. Look forward to watching it soon, thanks Minty!
@@jimtownsend3910 Sucks getting old. I can't remember if my buddy let me watch the video he rented from the video store back in 87 first or if I watched it on one of those cable TV movie channels. A few years ago I remembered. haha 2 years ago I bought another Wraith DVD because all my DVD`s and VHS tapes got ripped off.
Oh my God!!! I just discovered your channel a few months ago. Love it!!!! And the Wraith!?!?!? You already had tons of cred, and it just went up X10000000!
I had just turned 20 yo when this movie came out in '86. Never saw it in the theater, but it got heavy playing time on HBO in the '87 to '89 time frame. I have never forgotten it and still love it to this day.
I love your videos! Thank you for over-dubbing and fixing your pronunciation of "The Wraith". It makes it so much more enjoyable to re-watch. Keep up the good work!
If he reads the comments I'm sure he'll watch it The Heavenly Kid is an awesome movie they mentioned The Hitcher isn't that the movie that Bart Simpson gets pulled into by a semi
This has to be one of my all time favorite movies from the 1980s. Screw the stupid critics, this was and still is an awesome movie. I love watching this movie. And the soundtrack is awesome.
Yeah, i loved this movie as well... i watched it again only a month ago, plus watched some TH-cam Videos about how someone "was going" to make reproduction "Dodge M4S Turbo" Wraith Cars from the Molds they made of the original car for the Movie! Would of been great if you could of bought your own "Dodge M4S Turbo" Wraith Car!!
I'm showing my age, but I went to see the wraith in theaters. I was 10. I watch it anytime it comes on tv, it never seems to get old. You're right, No One seems to remember it, which is sad.
This is still 1 of my old school favs. Hot girls, immortal hero, kick ass cars & a love story...what else do you need.. apart from crewcut muscle bound retired army dudes on come back missions lol
I liked low end movies like this one growing up. Not everything had to be this big epic blockbuster flick like the way they do it today. This and 'My Science Project' are ones that came out about the same year with this low 80s mentality that I love to watch sometimes back to back. I wish they still made films like this.
I think his pronunciation of Packard's name is funny. He pronounces it "Pack hard!" However, since he's English and he loves The Wraith, I will give him a hall pass.
Haha I know, it's pretty hilarious. I love Minty, but him mispronouncing the word Wraith in the live action cutaways and the super obvious dubs in the voiceovers killed me. And he missed one in the voiceover, which made it even more obvious. My guess is that he probably grew up thinking that the movie was called The "Wrath", and only learned that is was actually "Wraith" after he had already finished making this episode.
We rented this movie on VHS when I was a kid. I loved it, we even made a copy with the second VCR trick. You can also watch it for free on YT right now.
I don't understand why he says it right in some scenes but wrong in others. It's definitely annoying! I hate how he pronounces Packard as well. It's not Pakkard, it's Packard. Pronouncing it Pack-Card is flat out annoying AF!
I was introduced to this in high school when a friend and I rented it. He had seen it and loved it, I had never heard of it yet. Cool seeing you review it!
@@anthonybarrass5318 -- One of the Barracuda cars ended up getting reused in a TV show or made for TV movie.. It had been painted over, but on a good quality video, you can see some of the "airborne" paint scheme peeking through.
Minty that was awesome I love the wraith. Born in 1976 I love 1980's cinema and the wraith is one of my favorites! Thank you for being one of us. An 80's enthusiast !!!
You forgot about the 1984 Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor that was in the movie it was a Indy 500 pace car with a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder Twin Turbo 440 hp and top speed of 196mph
Thanks for doing this movie I love it. I had to find it on DVD and add it to my collection. Friends that come over and see it in my collection always ask what is this, they have never seen it but after I play it for them they love it. Keep up the great work 👍
It was a fun movie! I saw it in the theater when it came out (yup, I'm old). I enjoyed it A LOT more than Maximum Overdrive... And ya, should be pronounced RAY-th, not rath. :)
Hey Lenny did not remember the movie in theatres saw it on HBO it must of came and went by too fast but I must say Sherrilyn Fenn looked Hot back then before she made it big on Twin Peaks.
@@richardike2342 Yes you can. Principle photography (when they actually shoot the filming of the actors) can last as little as 30-60 days. Everything else before/after principle photography is done with a 2nd or 3rd Unit for things such as stunts and to allow time for any CG production and rendering. This is why for some actors, they can be in multiple movies that release all in the same year - because they don't just film one movie/tv show for a few months and they're done for the year.
Good video Minty! I barely remember that movie although after watching this video it brought back a lot of memories of it. Young Charlie Sheen, young Randy Quaid, and a young Clint Howard. So cool to get to see them at their youthful stage again.
Really - They probably though he would take the Car & Shag Ass without finishing the Movie ! Then He could of bought it as it was for Sale Recently - They do Sell Kits to make your Own also .
Jason Michael Gomez the real Dodge M4S car was only used in still shots never raced. Dodge sent an 18 wheeler and a few guys that never let it out of their sight. It was worth more than a million dollars and that was in 1981. It was a camera guy standing outside of a van that went over a cliff that died.
All filmed around Tucson, AZ. A totally ridiculous movie. My favorite part is at the end when the ghost of the older brother gives his kid brother magical car that killed about a dozen people in the movie. I can just picture the kid being pulled over by cops after 2 days. "Hey kid, we've been looking for this car. It's been implicated in twelve murders. You have some explaining to do."
The Wraith is freaking awesome, I have this one on DVD, but your right Minty, everytime I ask my friends if they have seen, are want to watch the Wraith, there like never herd of it.
80's sci-fi was weird science...the girls were so hot...and voluptuous....the guys were the coolest of cool....the soundtracks captured our innocence, our angst ... our joy and our plans....I MISS THOSE DAYS
At the beginning of the 90s, my family went on holiday in the Czech Republic. There, in a public restaurant, this movie was played, of course in Czech. I did not understand a word, but I did not care. I wanted to see this movie again. Of course, I forgot the movie, even today, when Minty has brought this beautiful memory back again. :D
Hey Minty. The movies name is "The Wraith" and not "The WRATH" ;) But since you reminded me of this great movie, could you also do "The Last Starfighter"?
Loved The Last Stafighter grabbed it on Blu-ray who knows when. The computer graphics for the time looked really nice. Not so much by todays standards but great for back then. Minty should make a 10 things video about this movie.
I saw this when it hit VHS...I agree, this was a great movie. It was very emotional at then end when his brother was calling out to him to come back and halfway through realizing who it was...
I never forgot about the movie; I always loved it from the first time I saw it back in the 80s at some point. The "Turbo Interceptor" car was super cool.

John O'Regan.... dude the movie has literally been out over at least 15-20 years...
The first time I watched it that hit me too
Oh holy crap, somebody actually REMEMBERS this freaking movie beside me!
Always was on prime star dish mid to late 90s on stars ⭐️
I know of this moive mostly do to me being a big horror movie lover . and i am a 90s kid
penprp if you download the Wraith from iTunes. The movie downloads in 4K quality
Same mate!! Underrated movie!!
I felt the same way.
I've always loved The Wraith. I've seen it probably 200 times. Thank you for bringing attention to it. It's very underrated.

The Wraith is one of my favorite films. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE a good revenge tale! You have Martin Sheen's son, John Casvette's son, Ryan O'Neil's son, Dennis Quaid's brother and Ron Howard's brother all in one film.
Judi Bickford don’t forget Ron Howard’s Bro
Who'd Ryans son play loved this movie as a kid BTW
@@everettgarrett4858 he played Auggie, the one who died first and drove the red Dodge Daytona that went down the hill.

I still find it hard to believe that Dennis quaids brother
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again… The Wraith is The Crow of the 80s.
It could have influenced The Crow, since The Crow was made in 1989. I am talking about the graphic novel and not the movie.
'GoodBadFlicks' would agree with you! =)
Yo I say the same thing!! It's The Crow, but with cars.
Of course, well spotted, but no one actually died, but good old Charlie is giving it a bloody good shot, don't die mate, you are far more interesting alive.
Orrrrr.....The Crow is The Wraith of the 90s.

David Maes : oddly, I don't think Minty know's their brother's!!!
Every f***** one on the planet knows this
:O When I watched RepoMan I actually thought it was a really young Charlie Sheen. Now it all makes sense! :D
Because he probably doesn't know they are brothers.
@Jerry LeeLewis i chalk up the pronunciation to Minty being Australian,they just say things different down under
I would love to see a 10 Things You Didn't Know About "THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN" I always loved that 80s film that most people forgot about.
Good idea.

Classic movie
I didn't forget. Kieth ARNOLD CUNNINGHAM Gordon played her boyfriend.
Anybody else think Helen & Christian Slater were real siblings after seeing the credits for Billie Jean?
I love your videos! Thank you for over-dubbing and fixing your pronunciation of "The Wraith". It makes it so much more enjoyable to re-watch. Keep up the good work!
The Wraith what a classic. Oh boy even the soundtrack was and still is epic. They sure don't make movies like they used to. 💞💝💗💖💘
Zoey Jafferally so true rip all the amazing classics 🙏
In '86 this was the movie ! I was in High School all of us in Auto Shop watched it all the time !
Same here, the Wraith and Christine...
You bastard. I was in JR High. My neighbor had HBO and it was on all the time in 1987
Yeah I enjoyed it I even drop a tear when he gave his brother the car. The movie remind me of the 1985 the Heavenly kid.
Now THAT was a good movie
Great flick!!!! The heavenly Kid!
Minty wouldn’t know about the Heavenly Kid...
If he reads the comments I'm sure he'll watch it The Heavenly Kid is an awesome movie they mentioned The Hitcher isn't that the movie that Bart Simpson gets pulled into by a semi

This and 'My Science Project' are ones that came out about the same year with this low 80s mentality that I love to watch sometimes back to back. I wish they still made films like this.
gutz1981 love my science project
David Presley
Cop: "Kid why do you wear sunglasses at night?"
Vinnie: "Cause see when you're cool, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day."
Gladiator: Blah,blah,blahahahahblah
Hero: What'd he say? Sounds like Latin, that's your dept.
Nerd: He's going to kick our ass.....
The 68 Goat in that movie made me love GTO's
I must be one of the few because I have this movie on DVD ! I've always loved this movie and that wild car !!!
Man that turbo was ahead of it time Especially the sound of the car had me hooked plus the color
The dub overs are hilarious. Guess Minty kept pronouncing Wraith as Wrath.
Kyle Cruel that was what I thought. I nearly choked on my dinner because I kept laughing.
the WRAITH
I think his pronunciation of Packard's name is funny. He pronounces it "Pack hard!" However, since he's English and he loves The Wraith, I will give him a hall pass.
It is the accent my friend, the accent.
Haha I know, it's pretty hilarious. I love Minty, but him mispronouncing the word Wraith in the live action cutaways and the super obvious dubs in the voiceovers killed me. And he missed one in the voiceover, which made it even more obvious. My guess is that he probably grew up thinking that the movie was called The "Wrath", and only learned that is was actually "Wraith" after he had already finished making this episode.
Me personally, I think this is a great movie. One of my all time favorites.
The Dodge Interceptor was a badass car
Deth Rugg word
But is it as bassass as the black-on-black Ford falcon interceptor?
it sure was
Dodge M4S was a 400hp 2.2 liter twin turbo DOHC 4 cylinder. It would've ripped the Mad Max intercept (with its fake blower) a new one .
Yeah an in usual "it has to be boring so we can lose our industry someday" fashion, it never made it to market.
We rented this movie on VHS when I was a kid. I loved it, we even made a copy with the second VCR trick. You can also watch it for free on YT right now.
I can never forget this movie. Still one of my 80's favorites and I have had the DVD for years.
This is one of my favorites from the '80s and I Still watch it till this day.
This is one of my favorite classics but I hate how he keeps saying "The Wrath"
And he can't pronoun Nick Cassavetes name correctly either!!
I don't understand why he says it right in some scenes but wrong in others. It's definitely annoying! I hate how he pronounces Packard as well. It's not Pakkard, it's Packard. Pronouncing it Pack-Card is flat out annoying AF!
@@chrisday7759 If you listen closely, the instances of him saying "The Wraith" properly are pretty much all dubbed in.
Thank you. I know it would be menetioned here.
.🤔😑.
I always loved this flick. Always thought it was a shame it didnt get more exposure than it did thanks for the post and movie had the perfect cast.
Dude... I totally remember this film!! It fueled countless Hot Wheels car sessions for years!! LOL!
If you dipped this deep into the 80's, you HAVE to do "My Science Project"...
"What he'd say?"
"He's going...to kick...our ass."
"Sit on this, buttplug!"
Ditto, dip into the 1980s and review John Cusack's "Better Off Dead" (1985)...or for that matter any Cusack movie from the 80s or early 90s.
truth
also want to see a review of Streets of Fire
just watched that today
One of my favorite movies of the 80's.... amazing list. You earned this like and subscribe, brother. Have a good one!
Still my favorite car movie. I'd love to see a prequel, depicting the background of Packard and his minions.
This is always my favorite movie, the soundtrack is sooo underrated ❤️
👍👍👍👍👍
Managed to find the Original Soundtrack on Ebay a few months ago. So glad I found it.
I own a copy of The Wraith on DVD. I love the cars, the crashes & the song "Where's The Fire". Worth it.
KiryuBT 1995 and Billy Idol's Rebel Yell.
"Jake! Jake!...Jamey!"
@Nob the Knave
Whaaa?
Most heart breaking scene..should have taken his brother too
Iron Eagle: "Chappie!"
Thrashin': "Chrissy!"
Nob the Knave *ugh*
Yep.... 11 years old and it made me well up and my eyes teared.
I was introduced to this in high school when a friend and I rented it. He had seen it and loved it, I had never heard of it yet. Cool seeing you review it!
My neighbor ended up owning the Corvette that was used in this film.
That's pretty cool...I wouldve loved to have the dodge Daytona concept car
Packard isnt goin 2 like that !
That's awesome
That's lies all cars were scrapped after they finished filming the movie
@@anthonybarrass5318 -- One of the Barracuda cars ended up getting reused in a TV show or made for TV movie.. It had been painted over, but on a good quality video, you can see some of the "airborne" paint scheme peeking through.
I first saw this movie on TNT's "Monster Vision" in the 90's and loved it ever since.
Haha, Monster Vision was awesome!
"You're watching TNT's Monster Vision with Joe Bob Briggs"
ELKFILMZ I won their caption contest and received a free monstervision T-shirt. I used to trade brief emails with Joe Bob. The man is too cool.
Same here!Joe Bob Briggs
I want to be you right now, lol.
Minty that was awesome I love the wraith. Born in 1976 I love 1980's cinema and the wraith is one of my favorites! Thank you for being one of us. An 80's enthusiast !!!
You forgot about the 1984 Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor that was in the movie it was a Indy 500 pace car with a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder Twin Turbo 440 hp and top speed of 196mph
Thanks for doing this movie I love it. I had to find it on DVD and add it to my collection. Friends that come over and see it in my collection always ask what is this, they have never seen it but after I play it for them they love it. Keep up the great work 👍
How could you not remember Sherilyn Fenn and that great body. Love that Pontiac.
Carlos Ramirez Yes! She was so damn hot in this movie!
Those legs!! 😯
She was soooo sexy-I didn't see a Pontiac in the entire movie!
Oh yeah I forgot about the '77 T/A.
@@231gnx the yellow trans am with the blower
Just one of the 80's movies that was underrated of course.
Bad promotion will do that all the time.
Was a favorite as a child. I had it on a VHS recorded from cable.
This is one of my classic movies that I watch once a month and never get sick of it and saw it when it came out,was 24 and just got married.👍👍
It was a fun movie! I saw it in the theater when it came out (yup, I'm old). I enjoyed it A LOT more than Maximum Overdrive... And ya, should be pronounced RAY-th, not rath. :)
Hey Lenny did not remember the movie in theatres saw it on HBO it must of came and went by too fast but I must say Sherrilyn Fenn looked Hot back then before she made it big on Twin Peaks.
The Wraith was filmed in one month?? Wow. They’ve must had worked everyday
Most films are 20-30 day shoots
You cannot pull that of anymore.
@@richardike2342 Yes you can. Principle photography (when they actually shoot the filming of the actors) can last as little as 30-60 days. Everything else before/after principle photography is done with a 2nd or 3rd Unit for things such as stunts and to allow time for any CG production and rendering. This is why for some actors, they can be in multiple movies that release all in the same year - because they don't just film one movie/tv show for a few months and they're done for the year.
@@rotor13 That is very interesting. Good to know, thank you.
Lots of cocaine no doubt lol.
Good video Minty! I barely remember that movie although after watching this video it brought back a lot of memories of it. Young Charlie Sheen, young Randy Quaid, and a young Clint Howard. So cool to get to see them at their youthful stage again.
This was an awesome movie. One of my favorites. I think I even saw it IN a theater back in the day and then watched the VHS copy a 100 or so times too
I loved The Wraith :-) it was definitely a part of my childhood
Automan meets Christine meets the Crow meets The Fast and the Furious. All in.
Lost Age Comics You remember Automan, cool! 😎
Watched it with my grandma way back.
Spot on what a magic combination. !
Lost Age Comics More like Crass and the Tedious.
Hanniffy Dinn So I hate the FATF movies. Why you mad bro?
Unless i get amnesia I'll never forget this movie, it's pure high-octane awsomeness, loved it then and will always love it🖒😁👍🖒😁👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember catching this on a local TV station after midnight back in high school and being surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
I really loved........ 's soundtrack....
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid!
One of my favorite 80’s movies. Very similar story to the crow
The Crow stole a lot from The Wraith. Even the characters Skank and Gutterboy/Funboy.
Thanks for doing 10 facts I had know idea about. I appreciate the attention to a movie often forgotten about but needs the praise because it kicks ass
My parents rented this movie back when it came out on VHS and I Loved it ever since. 👍🏽 Awesome movie and awesome soundtrack.
Charlie Sheen is on record that Dodge wouldn't let him drive the Interceptor more than like 100 ft. Shame this never became a production car.
Really - They probably though he would take the Car & Shag Ass without finishing the Movie ! Then He could of bought it as it was for Sale Recently - They do Sell Kits to make your Own also .
There was an accident with the car during testing that ended up killing its driver. This put the kibosh on any kind of commercial release...
Jason Michael Gomez the real Dodge M4S car was only used in still shots never raced. Dodge sent an 18 wheeler and a few guys that never let it out of their sight. It was worth more than a million dollars and that was in 1981. It was a camera guy standing outside of a van that went over a cliff that died.
All filmed around Tucson, AZ. A totally ridiculous movie. My favorite part is at the end when the ghost of the older brother gives his kid brother magical car that killed about a dozen people in the movie. I can just picture the kid being pulled over by cops after 2 days. "Hey kid, we've been looking for this car. It's been implicated in twelve murders. You have some explaining to do."
It's awesome and thank you for your do for your hard work minty 💯📜👈👍👍😎
love the wraith.when it was out. even have it on VHS and DVD. I loved the turbo Dodge interceptor.
The Wraith is freaking awesome, I have this one on DVD, but your right Minty, everytime I ask my friends if they have seen, are want to watch the Wraith, there like never herd of it.
AJ Mason ffs, try writing so a translator isn't required.
80's sci-fi was weird science...the girls were so hot...and voluptuous....the guys were the coolest of cool....the soundtracks captured our innocence, our angst ... our joy and our plans....I MISS THOSE DAYS
At the beginning of the 90s, my family went on holiday in the Czech Republic. There, in a public restaurant, this movie was played, of course in Czech. I did not understand a word, but I did not care. I wanted to see this movie again. Of course, I forgot the movie, even today, when Minty has brought this beautiful memory back again. :D
Hey Minty. The movies name is "The Wraith" and not "The WRATH" ;)
But since you reminded me of this great movie, could you also do "The Last Starfighter"?
Techrat3D this nearly made me shoot my head off.
I heard him say wrath once but the rest of the time I could tell that he re-recorded the pronouncement of wraith.
Loved The Last Stafighter grabbed it on Blu-ray who knows when. The computer graphics for the time looked really nice. Not so much by todays standards but great for back then. Minty should make a 10 things video about this movie.
Came here to find out why there was the obvious "wraith" voice over 😂😂
He always pronounces TH as either V or F it is incredibly annoying
I saw this when it hit VHS...I agree, this was a great movie. It was very emotional at then end when his brother was calling out to him to come back and halfway through realizing who it was...
This movie is one of my all time favorites like Big Trouble in Little China
Just wanted this on Hulu too
I never forgot about the movie; I always loved it from the first time I saw it back in the 80s at some point. The "Turbo Interceptor" car was super cool.
I love The Wraith! It was quite B, but it was fun to watch. "That Shit's Got Some Kick"!

Gutterboy
One of my favourites!
And, yeah, no one seems to know it. I always felt I was the only fan in the world. Glad to see I'm not alone.
Your not the only one. I love this movie and watch it all the time. It's a classic.
When I was a kid I tried renting it from Blockbuster and they had to look it up in a book lol
Minty, well done. You've finally gave me one I have never heard of. I'm off to go watch this tiger blood fueled Sheen adventure.
Murphy and Clarence Boddiker having a beer... LMAO!
