eat my dust dvd,
This review is from: Eat My Dust!/Grand Theft Auto (DVD)
I have looked for this dvd for a very long time at local retailers with absolutely no luck. I found it here along with Grand Theft Auto as a double dvd set. It is exactly what I was looking for and was shipped in a timely manner and arrived undamaged.

Opie-Mania!!!!,

This review is from: Eat My Dust!/Grand Theft Auto (DVD)
This isn't a great set but interesting because it shows the embryonic stages of a great filmmaker. Ron Howard spent most of his life on film and TV sets. He came from an acting family. He had a burning desire to be a director. At the time he was playing second banana to the Fonzie fad. He approached Roger Corman about his dream and Corman of course was willing to abide...with conditions. He had to first star in "Eat My Dust" which is an OK but not really remarkable car chase flick. About the best you can say about it is his co-star, Christopher Norris, is a real stunner in her white Daisy Dukes and thigh high go-go boots. Corman let Howard direct "Grand Theft Auto" with the prerequisite that he do it on the cheap and he have a couple shots of things blowing up real good. Despite a certain sitcom feel to the enterprise Howard demonstrates a real assuredness behind the camera with crisp storytelling and pacing. He stages a demolition derby sequence at the end of the film that's out of this world. Not classic but goes down smooth like an ice cream cone on a Summer day. Look close for Howard's "Happy Days" director Garry Marshall as a mobster.

It is awesome to get these two as a double bill...and widescreen!!,

Just gotta say, they don't make cheap movies like this anymore! These two Ron Howard vehicles (pun intended) are fun from a bygone era. Grand Theft Auto being my favorite of the two, but Eat My Dust is hilarious also. Shout! has done another fantastic job on these anamorphic widescreen transfers. They don't look the greatest, but this IS the best they have ever looked on home video. Hell, listening to Ron Howard and Roger Corman commentary is worth the price alone! And to see Ron becoming the great director he is today...WOW!This is truly my favorite double feature that perfectly compliments one another. This is a two disc set with each movie on a disc with its own special features. I am so happy to get these drive-in classics in anamorphic widescreen instead of full frame. Thanks again to Shout! for putting this double feature together as they did. Enjoy and hang on...it's a fun ride!! 0 of 19 people found the following review helpful

Opie woulda made a better film,
By tideivlife1 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eat My Dust!/Grand Theft Auto (DVD)
Took a girl to the drive-in to see this one(GTA)and we couldn't believe how bad it was, so we did what we came there for anyway. But I remember us commenting on how terrible it was. You would be better off buying "Hot Rods To Hell". Its terrible too but its still cool.
