Halicki. It seems Halicki learned quite a bit about filmmaking from his prior opus, as this film is imminently coherent and is actually quite a fun piece of silly fluff.
Full of thrilling stunts, gratuitous car crashes, sexy eighties ladies and a prize winning pig.
So what is conclusion? That includes a familiar prop, the beaten-up yellow '73 Mustang he named "Eleanor"!
H.B. Esta película supone una anomalía dentro del género cinematográfico, debido principalmente a su mente creadora, de la que me considero aficionado. In no way do I want to show any lack of respect for Halicki. On his way to a James Dean festival Hollis comes under attack from a couple of bi-planes & a couple of cars driven by assassins who have orders to kill Hollis in a very public & spectacular way.
Halicki) has just finished a re-shoot for his new film titled Gone in 60 Seconds which premieres in days. No really i'm not kidding, if you see it you'll never forget it. Was this review helpful? It isn't the original movie, but given the notorious stuntwork and a sense of humor, it still has its credentials.

Was this review helpful? Hopefully, someone will dig up much more footage of that lost film. Someone said Ronin, right on, great car chases there.
Halicki, who thrilled many with some of the most exciting car chases in GONE IN 60 SECONDS, had this follow-up a few years later called THE JUNKMAN. But for the DVD 5 out of 10. Genuine service with a smile!
Until a couple months ago i never knew of a sequel. that it was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Whether intentional or not, I found it somewhat ironic that the three cars involved in the main chase scene in the movie were each one from the Big 3 U.S. auto manufacturers. While The Junkman is no Citizen Kane, I must confess that I was pleasantly surprised by it. Considering the garbage Cage has played in in his life, the remake accounts for one of his best. I promise. The video wasn't in great condition so most of the middle to end of the movie was very fuzzy.
It is cinematically light years ahead of Gone , which to a large degree, is convoluted and non-sensical. Halicki, the unfairly neglected genius who gave us the awesome 70's drive-in car chase humdinger "Gone in 60 Seconds," basically plays himself in this stupendously crazed vanity project.
You may find it worth noting that the soundtrack on the reissued DVD (currently only available in Region 1 format) is different from the original video issue. Was this review helpful? 150 cars were destroyed (an assortment of cars, trucks, planes, boats, etc.) While not as gritty as the legendary GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS(a true classic of outlaw filmaking,) this one boasts slicker production values and the World's Record for most vehicles wrecked in a movie.
Then one day i was at a discount department store on the Gold Coast when i found the original VHS copy of GONE IN 60 SECONDS PART II THE JUNKMAN. What else i enjoyed was the music, The fact that it was upbeat during the fast paced chase scenes and that the singers included the movie name and one of the major events that the movie was set around.
