<[:-} "you're a pretty classy model, but your retail value is low"
from the mighty ron ormond, ormond repeat offender earl "snake" richards, playing "snake," chases "ruby" (arline hunter) eagerly, but has a unique way of telling her she's too cheap to marry. ruby, daughter of moonshiner tip, is sort of ellie may clampett channeling marilyn monroe. once again, the phrase "awesomely buxom" comes to mind. she has a thing for joe. the opening scene has joe, who will do many things to get parts for his stock car, running from "ATU agents," who are some kind of revenuers. i guess it stands for "alcohol, tobacco, and underpants." joe loses them and dumps two 5 gallon cans. they find them, and one agent shoots one with a pistol, from maybe two feet away, then declares it to be at least 150 proof (75% alcohol) moonshine. he's lucky he isn't backsplash barbecue. the shine was tip's. joe's father was a moonshiner, and his brother bud is a cop. snake is selling hot auto parts for jaguar driving, ascot wearing crime boss "slick" (ron ormond). patty is slick's "private property." she's a cutie reminiscent of molly ringwald. out on bail for the shine run, joe leaves the sticks and goes to work in atlanta as a mechanic for one-legged gimp (bill sosebee?), who is part of slick's crime ring, but is good hearted and becomes joe's racing mentor. in one scene, gimp, wearing grimy briefs, straps his artificial leg onto his stump. it looks like his leg was amputated by a drunk. he reluctantly sends a clueless joe as a driver for a comically clumsy but realistic "gone in 60 minutes" car lot robbery, where a night watchman gets run over by "bearded giant" ace. crooked atlanta detective sid, who set up the robbery and provided a key to the padlock to the lot's chain "gate," wants to increase his take from 2k to 5k. ace knocks him out with a brass knuckle rabbit punch, and say's "that cookie's gone stale." gimp says "yeah, but happens when cookie wakes up? he's not going to spill his guts, he's going to vomit." ace executes sid with a pistol, and then blows on the muzzle with a smirk. there's plenty of fistfights, souped up car chases, and murder, but my favorite scenes are at the funky dirt race track. the cars look like banged up tin can soap box derby rejects. a buzz cut wearing "easy rider" nightmare redneck eats burgers with crumbs sticking to his face. an extended cat fight has ruby getting her breast grabbed repeatedly by bud's girlfriend, and then by bud, as he tries to restrain her. no one has ever done southern sleaze like ormond.
