Checkered Flag or Crash

Post by Pine »

Thanks to H_R for the sms earlier tonight, otherwise I would have missed this movie on SABC1 - off-road buggy & Baja racing ALL THE WAY! :hangloose:

...but the crashes were so spectacular, I can only assume they were for real :shock:
CHECKERED FLAG OR CRASH

Joe Don Baker, Susan Sarandon

Universal; Directed by Alan Gibson

Rated PG; 93 minutes; 1977

A hazardous 1000-mile off-the-road race across some of the wildest and most rugged terrain in the world — the Philippine tropics — is the framework for this action-adventure. Joe Don Baker, star of Walking Tall, portrays Andy "Walkaway" Madden, a gusty racer named for his uncanny ability to walk away from the most fearsome crashes. Right up until the blazing finish, Checkered Flag or Crash is packed with enough action and excitement to satisfy "gearheads" and racing fans of all ages.
