The interceptor is way cooler than whatever Kitt was. Love the on-point one-liners.
Watched this so many times in high school. Sherilyn Fenn swimming scene, futuristic car, the characters "Skank" and "Gutterboy," Ronny Howard's brother, Sheriff Randy Quaid, and lots of ghostly revenge. Loved it! Still love it
This movie blew my mind as a kid!
Yup
I loved it! Had it all at the time.
Indeed! I watched it back in the days some night on free-tv but never had a chance to see it again afterwards. Now, almost 20 years later I watched it again (thanks to streaming!) and I still think it's a great movie!
car chases, explosions AND BOOBIES?!!
I love how Jake gives his brother a one-of-a-kind car that was used in three vehicular homicides. I wonder how long it took for Billy to get arrested on suspicion of murder.
Michael Reeves lol good point! He totally hosed his brother
Michael Reeves I was thinking that, too. Also, going off into the sunset with Sherilynn, but can't spend mre than 5 minutes with his own brother to let him know anything.
Billy wouldn't get arrested. They couldn't catch him and that car because he could go into space! :)
Michael Reeves I am sure it Tranferorms or Optical illusion.
Michael Reeves that's what I said. I guess Jake was like "I got my pussy back...I'm out."
The Wraith inspired The Crow? MIND BLOWN!
It's one of my favourite 80s movies, I have a lot of good memories.
I'm not into Fast and The Furious, or many other car-related movies, but I LOVE the Wraith, in all its cheesy glory.
I was quite late to this, caught it one night in the summer of 2002, I'd just turned 16 and thought it was the coolest film ever, perfect soundtrack, action and revenge fantasy. Became one of my favourites when I located the dvd and later on the blu ray. An easy watch with lots of replay value.
I LOVED this movie when I was a kid. I still enjoy it.
The Wraith was my personal coming of age movie. Loved it back in the 80s and I still love it today!!!! And that soundtrack.... muah...just perfect!!
I love that movie. Had it on VHS and watched the hell out of it.
Same here. To the point where I wore out the tape and the picture quality went bad.
Why?
I've got the VHS, the DVD and the blue-ray special edition version (metalbox), yeeeee haw! :-)
The movie is true...
@@jenniferbeatty7545 I have a bridge for sale!!
Wore out my VHS...just watched it a couple of weeks ago in the garage while working on my car. Next day at work I said I watched the best 1980s Dodge commercial ever and everyone over 30 said, The Wraith!
Lol !!!
ya damn right this is an awesome movie....80's muscle cars, 80's music, hot chicks...its all here, especially when u have Ozzy Osbourne headlining the soundtrack, now THATS how u start a movie
Caught this movie on HBO while skipping a day of high school 1987. Good times haha... Great movie!
This movie was one of my favorites. You did a Fantastic job narrating.
Thanks!
This was my best movie beside knight rider in the 80's. Missing the childhood days. Damn wish I can go back to those days.
Finally saw this movie for the first time tonight and it was a lot of fun! Also agree on the soundtrack there's even a scene with Billy Idol's Rebel Yell playing which is one of my favorites from the 80s, Good stuff.
Damn this movie is only 1 pair or rollerblades away from being the ultimate 80' movie! I have to watch this!
I've always loved this movie. I've wanted that Dodge M4S since I was a kid. It's the first purchase I would make if I hit the lottery.
good luck haha. I think there's only one
The Wraith is my all time favorite movie! I can watch it over n over n it never gets old. Wen i was 13 or 14, i had 3 vhs tapes (yeah, im that old lol) with the wraith on them just so i could watch it over n over without havin to wait for it to rewind. Now ive got it on dvd. Ive always dreamed of ownin the turbo interceptor. Wat an awesome car!
Watched it in the 80s, loved it. That car is so amazing, even by today's standards, just like the DeLorean.
reminds me of the time Chevy almost made a twin turbo midengine car like that back in the early 90's I think, it's sad how many amazing cars and trucks never make it to production and Chevy is the worst at it, Chrysler seems good at producing theirs though, they got balls
Loved The Wraith!! One of my favorite movies! The Interceptor needs to be up there with the Batmobile, General Lee & KITT as iconic movie vehicles!
Haha, i loved this movie when i was a kid and i had a huge crush on Sherilyn Fenn!
Every guy did in that time she also played in 2 moon junction.
I had never heard of this movie until I watched it last night on Comet TV. I was very impressed and will probably end up getting it on DVD or Blu-ray.
I used to watch this on HBO...I loved it!
Randy Quaid.
Charly Sheen...
Clint Howard!!!
ROAD PIRATES WITH MOHAWKS!!!
Sign me up.
Omg best movie ever in 1986 flashback from my childhood... Awesome soundtrack
Ahhh, Moving Violations...yet *another* underrated bit of cinematic awesomeness.
Thanks!
I Islanders thing was more of an inside joke for a friend of mine. They are a team he likes but they lose all the time.
DAMN! i love going back to the 80s and 90s classics , i love to watch it on TV someday.
Gear head here. Loved this movie and the 80s metal soundtrack.
I loved it as a kid watching it when it would come on cinemax or hbo....I re-watched it about 3 weeks ago and I liked it even more.
A true cult-film indeed. I was about 7 or so when I first watched it at a friend's house. Not knowing the title of it (neither the English or the Norwegian), we just referred to it as "the black car". The chases were reenacted dozens of times when we played.
I actually have the movie on DVD and VHS. LOVE the soundtrack. Thanks for the review, brought back memories. And yes... it IS a good bad flick. :)
This movie was a guilty pleasure of my childhood. I loved it.
I remember thinking Sherilyn Fenn was the hottest thing ever in this movie.
She was the hottest thing in whatever she was in those days
@Jerrol Hale And she was a healthy looking woman, not overly skinny and pale like most vegan nightmares today
Thrashin'.
@@bassage13 Huh ? never knew she was in that!
Sherilyn Fenn was a goddess in her day ... Wraith, Meridian, Two Moon Junction, Twin Peaks - gazoooinks!
I don't care what you say this movie is still awesome!
Bennet Fox I love the car
DODGE M4S Turbo. Only four were made. There was one for sale on TH-cam back in 2012. The guy wanted $200,000. That's nothing for such a rare car!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah. Any 80s kid would agree.
it sucked
Loved it!!
5:17 "Well, isn't she friendly" made me laugh. Love this, it's a great sick day movie. Told me a lot I didn't know about it.
Great video!! I used to watch this all the time on WPIX-11 (NYC) when I was a kid. I bought the remastered dvd a few years ago. "Hold On Blue Eyes" is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Croupier thanks!
Croupier same
@@GoodBadFlicks Check out No Man's Land starring Charlie Sheen and D.B. Sweeney, it is an underrated 80s car movie which could have inspired the Fast and The Furious movies.
"The Wraith" is called "Interceptor" in Germany.
Yes, they replaced an English title with another English title.
Wasn't the car called an interceptor?
Top movie ,I remember it well.
I'm 54.:)
Most germans speak english well enough to pronounce "Interceptor".
But anything with a "th" in it.... a no go ;-D
@@DasIllu Genauso ist es! XD
Perhaps they should have called it 'Das Geist'... with the 'das' signifying the neutral gender of the subject in this case being a car. Or: 'Das Geisterauto', or: 'Das Gespenst'.
@@AndreMcHenry That would have sounded down right weird in the 80s and pretentious nowadays.
Looking at my name, i am poking fun at the trend that was started by a german motor company ("Das Auto") and maybe even be predated by the german movie "Das Boot".
An no it is not about footwear ^^
Let's just say it would not have been able to attract a lot of germans. Also, the decission was made by german TV stations. The movie never went to cinema in germany and cassette tape rental was reluctant to buy a stock of anything that hasn't either proved to be successful on tv or scored big on ticket sales.
When I first saw this on channel 11 as a kid I was blown away my favorite movie
one of my all time favorites , brings back alot of memories
Tim Feehan wrote and performed the song "Where's The Fire" which is on the soundtrack of this movie. Tim Feehan was born here in Edmonton,Alberta,Canada but he had already moved to Los Angeles by the time this movie was released.
Awesome review! This is one of my 80's "go-to" films when I need a nostalgic fix. I remember seeing the trailer back in '87 when it came out on Pay Per View and became fascinated with it. Of course after seeing it back then, I was immediately hooked. It's got all the ingredients of a great 80's flick! Thanks for paying homage to The Wraith! All hail Charlie Sheen!
Such a classic.... And awesome soundtrack
Sherilyn Fenn yummy times a thousand. One of my all time favorites. That scene where she wears that blue one-piece swimsuit WOW!
LOVE MOVIE AND SOUND TRACK! a remake should be done! growing up in the 1980's was more fun! need that time machine now!
Time you clicked a 14 minute video so you don’t have to watch the 93 minute movie but realize you’ve seen it before, and still finish watching the 14 minute video.
I like this movie, I watched it for the first time in 1990 on VHS, later in television, and I acquired a digital copy in 2019 and I watch it every year.
It's always cool to watch something there's no way will ever get made again. Interesting to know that some involved genuinely still want to make a sequel.
Unfortunately, since it has been so many years since the original there is a higher chance of a remake than a sequel
@@GoodBadFlicks A remake or reboot of The Wraith would be amazing with the right people on board.
I really loved this movie when I was a kid.
This used to be on cable all the time when I was a kid. HBO, Showtime, The Movie Channel etc. I need to rewatch this as an adult.
What Did I Just Watch? I watched it as a kid and just rewatched it, and it was still fun to watch
One of the BEST movies EVER made.
It's a classic ! One of my favorite movies or all times . Just a fun ride and octane !
Damn, this looks cool as hell! Wish it was on Blu-ray in North America...
You forgot the most famous scene in the end when Billy realizes that Jake is his brother. Jake! 😭Jake! 😭 JAMIE!!!!!😭😭😭
I loved you in Wallstreet!
The wraith and billy are brother s but the same person. This really confuses me. Charlie sheen plays to two roles of r
Brothers?
One of the most amazing movies I've ever seen.
"Think he made it?"....lol!
the 80's was the best decade...
this movie is amazingly underrated, the shots were excellent, the car chases were great, the only problem I had is that Charlie Sheen was mostly like Gary Stu throughout the movie if you don't include the back-story and it ends quite quickly, not much of risks involved in the plot, granted The Crow is still superior when it comes to the narrative aspect, setting, pacing and the characters but I still recommend it wholeheartedly, definitely not an Oscar material but it's an excellent B movie material
You are nuts...lol ...the blower is not hooked up on the Transam, you can see dust from the camera cars, the action is sped up as they are doing 35 mph, the sounds are terrible (take the TurboZ engine sound...it's awful. I liked the movie though.
I think this is an excellent movie..action from beginning to end..One of my favorite movies..Kerri is so damn hot and the car has got to be the coolest thing ever..2 thumbs up for me..
I wouldn't consider this a bad movie in the least. It still holds up well today.
80's babies stand up! One of my favorite flix.
Sherilyn Fenn was smoking hot back then, I mean look at that body....It's flawless >8D
Hell yeah she was banging
Absolute perfection.
would have eaten that red bikini right off her body
@@GaryGoRound-to7ld She'd never had needed toilet paper, I would have licked that ass pinky clean >8D
And let's not forget that it was still okay to actually show boobs in "PG" rated movies back then.
This review inspired me to rewatch this movie again on TH-cam… Cecil of Good Bad Flicks is right the soundtrack is sooooo good.
This was an amazing movie for an 8yr old to watch, that car was so cool and the women hot as hell. Just a cool perk of having much older siblings.
Been watching this since I was 4 years old. Had it recorded off HBO on a VHS tape that also had The Boy Who Could Fly and Halloween 4. This was the movie that got me into cars and hair metal. The Dodge M4S is still my favorite movie car of all time.
Now im 38 and I share this movie at least once a year with my son.
Miss movies like these. Real stunt drivers, real cars, on real locations with real stunts.
watched this recently - highly entertaining!
Great, underrated movie.
Wow this brings back memories. HBO & Cinemax had a half dozen movies they would play in the mid afternoon on the weekends and this was one of them. Monster Squad, Ice Pirates, and Beast Master also come to mind. Awesome review!
saltygrasshopper thanks!
aw man, you just brought back a flood of memories. I haven't seen Ice Pirates or Beast Master in years.
Wolfman’s got nards!
I adore this movie it's one of my all time favorite films.
My only beef with THE WRAITH (which I love) is he had no real opposition, he was too unstoppable... there was no "KRYPTONITE" scene, no scene to cheer for our hero to comeback and defeat the villain. But it had Ms Finn in a boob scene...SO ALL IS FORGIVEN!!!
This is a perfect rainy Sunday movie and God i love that car.
Another 80s gear head classic people forget about. No Man's Land (1987)
Two Lane Blacktop is also another great gear head movie. One of the best!
This is one of my all time favorite cult classics, I usually watch it about 5 or 6 times a year
The Wraith's car chases > Every car chase in the Fast and the Furious movies.
I’m 23 and I grew up watching this movie because of my dad. I just bought the same 1985 Honda enduro that’s Charlie sheen rides in this movie
I just discovered this channel and love it. I always thought I was the only one who enjoyed a lot of these odd ball movies reviewed on here.
Jason Allred Thank you!
Two things I loved about this vid:
You included the clip of Gutterboy about their constipational rights, which is f'n hilarious.
You mentioned how the Wraith's engine was "from the future", which, from the perspective of the movie being done in '86, actually turned out to be true.
Most car companies have downsized by now to lower capacity inline-4 engines with turbos, like the actual Dodge M4S prototype had :|
Great review. This was one of my favorite movies growing up. Me and my cousin used to call each other Skank and Gutterboy when we were kids (and on occasion still do) and the first car i bought after high school was an 81 Corvette.
Matthew Kirkman Thanks!
I grew up watching this film, it brings back so many good memories.
I actually cried, when they wrecked that barracuda
Loved this movie since I was a kid
The Wraith is like Crow only less goth and more metal.
Jovan Mitrić
💯% correct.
I saw this like ten years before the Crow, and when I saw it, I was like, "this is just like the wraith, except the girl didn't get killed, and the Crow came back looking like himself.
Except his girlfriend wasn't killed.
They weren't in a major city, causing chaos on the night before Halloween.
Crow doesn't use a car, and isn't all happy about digging himself out of the grave.
The Wraith takes more from
High Planes Drifter, than the Crow.
No Sarah, no powers like Eric Draven, aside from not being able to be hurt, and Wraith can change his human body, while Crow just puts the paint on.
The Wraith literally turns into energy that disappears, then can take the form of the car, or motorcycle.
Sorry, but the Crow is influenced by supernatural revenge stories, but not The Wraith.
Also, there is no Metal in the Wraith. It's all Poppy crap, or instrumentals.
*Ok. The Wraith is so metal. I was wrong. Still doesn’t mean the plot of Crow took from it. Watch Pale Rider, from a year prior, and you’ll se one of the two Eastwood movies The Wraith was ripping off. Even Eastwood was basing those characters off of ghosts from Scottish and German folklore.
Boy, one Ozzy song, and it’s sacrilege to say it was poppy music. Bonnie Tyler, was big metal. Idiots
10:30 I feel vindicated about my High Plains Drifter comparison now. He
Jovan Mitrić true.
Gudderhead and chicken boy. This is one of my favorite movies ever besides big trouble in little china ive seen both over 100 times a piece. And i find something new almost everytime.
The funniest thing is when I show people pictures of the Turbo Interceptor, they instantly think it's a brand new import. Then their jaws drop when I tell them it was made by Dodge back in the 80's.
+Michael Wolfe how often does it honestly come up in everyday conversation though? Like once in a lifetime lol.....just waiting to shoehorn that fact in somewhere huh?
I do it all the time.
If you post pictures places, questions get asked. You don't have to be asked prior to mention something as great as the M4S.
Looks like a concept for what the Viper looked like for a year.
It's like the American MR2 two years before the MR2.
Charlie's dad Martin did a good car/revenge movie in the early 70's called "The California Kid". Both movies have very satisfying endings.
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it sucks, but I like it anyway. I feel the same way about "Starship Troopers".
Terribly unequal comparison.
Starship troopers is a fantastic movie and it still looks good imo
starship troopers is amazing....honestly one of the best movies of all time.
No offense N.Jacobs but if you think Starship Troopers "sucks" and is a "guilty pleasure" then I think perhaps you aren't looking at it the correct way. It is a fantastic satire of both the military industry and a media complicit in the death and destruction of young people's bodies, to name just a few. Verhoeven's films can bury the satire deep however in Starship Troopers it's all right there in front of you. Do not feel guilty about Starship Troopers - but please go back and rewatch with fresh eyes.

No guilt to my pleasure
I only saw this by chance in the late 90s, despite being an 80s kid. The only reason I can think is that it wasn't so well known in the UK. It was in the very very early hours of the morning when I caught it while channel hopping half drunk after a night out. Realising how great it was I slapped a VHS in the recorder and, obviously I missed the start, but I was able to show my friends who also hadn't seen it and thought it was awesome. We then managed to hunt down the full thing when the internet became popular a few tears later.
Never heard of this movie before, now I want to watch it, thanks.
BeardedMovieGuy hope you enjoy!
I watched it a long time ago. It was actually pretty good surprisingly. Definitely an underrated flick all the way. I thought Charlie Sheen was pretty good throughout the film.
BeardedMovieGuy it used to be on all the time in the late 80s, early 90s
This is still one of the best, I had it on VHS, and I have 2 copies on DVD just in case I lose one!!
Filmed around Tucson. Gutter boy and skank are fantastic.
Skank now sells houses for Keller Williams in Charlotte NC. He's listed under Dave Sherrill.
Ann Colvin
Apparently he stopped drinking brake fluid.
Man, that stuff had some kick!
THANX A MILLION FOR THIS! The Wraith is one of my All time favourites of the 80s Thrillers
Both this film and The Crow borrowed the coming back from the dead for revenge theme from the much earlier film "High Plains Drifter" starring Clint Eastwood.
For much of that film, Eastwood's character is hinted to be the brother of the man who was brutally murdered by a gang. Looks nothing like his murdered brother. It was made to seem that he came to avenge his brother's death against both the gang, and certain members of the town who contributed to the death by doing nothing to help.
Only at the very end do we learn that it's the murdered man himself. Back as an avenging spirit, in human form and with a new face. It's subtle. But as the dwarf in the film openly says to him that he never caught his name and doesn't know what it is, Eastwood's character says, "Yes you do." He then casually rides off as a look of horrified realization comes across the dwarf's face.
Love this movie so much.
6.14 5.500 RPM not speed :).
+Simon Rupsi yeah, I goofed. What can I say, I'm not a car guy lol
+GoodBadFlicks yeah.. anyway i like your reviews :)
5,500 RPM ;).. LoL .. sry i couldt resist :P.
Jovial Pie
🤓🤓
6:14 not 6.14
Dude your commentary had me in tears...🤣🤣🤣
I love this movie. I really hope we see a remake or a sequel. Though it's been 6 years since this video came out, I don't know if the Director is still shopping around a remake. I'd like to see a sequel where Loomis returns and witnesses the same event from the 80's happen over again, but with different kids of course.
Another great car movie from around this time was called King of the mountain with Dennis Hopper and Harry Hamlin.Dennis Hopper has this bad ass Corvette and he races through this treacherous stretch of road in the mountains .
Cal showing up with his Vette is the best part of the movie.
This is one of my top 5 best movies ever made.
You know what sucks about the movie? At the very end, Jamie pins all of the murders on his brother by giving him the car and skipping town. What kind of brother does that?
UnknownAGENT007 they can't catch that car and that cop was not going to keep investigating anyways
Loomis knew it was finished
Mine.
I agree. I loved this film.
