Pretty iconic. Reynolds and Field are so charismatic. Silly supporting cast. Needed a couple more gimmicks outside of handbrake 180s.

Some of it doesn’t age too well but the chases and CB lingo are fun, Reynolds is as charming as ever, and it moves along nicely.

If your too young to remember the CB craze of the 70’s, you’ll never understand a key aspect that made this move a phenomenal success.
