Death Car on the Freeway (1979)


CBS
Directed by Hal Needham
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4

The "death car" is actually a van, driven by a man behind tinted windows who pursues single women on the LA freeways while listening to manic fiddle music! TV reporter Shelley Hack is determined to expose him, while fighting off her ex husband George Hamilton. Director Hal Needham appears as a defensive driving instructor, too bad because he needs instruction in direction in this strictly by-the-numbers made-for-tv movie. Most of the stunts are predictable, except for the van-in-flames finale, which has to be seen to be believed.
