Used Cars (1980 Robert Zemeckis)

A cheerfully silly comedy from Zemeckis and Bob Gale, who were later to write Back to the Future. Kurt Russell is a hustling car dealer who also wants to run for Senator, a suitably ironic plot point. But he's in competition with dirty dealer Jack Warden (who also plays his brother) in the lot opposite. That's pretty much it, but it's daftly enjoyable.

With Gerrit Graham, Frank McRae (mechanic who keeps falling asleep), Deborah Harmon. And a useful dog. And a camel.


It's expertly edited by Michael Khan.

Q thought she'd recognised Al Lewis from TV's Batman but in fact he played Grandpa Munster.
