Description:
VERY GOOD, ALMOST FORGOTTEN ACTION/ADVENTURE MOVIE WITH A GOOD CAST, A GOOD PLOT AND SOME AWESOME BOAT RACE AND HELICOPTER SCENES. THE RACE SCENES ALONE JUSTIFY A WATCH BUT AN OVER-THE-TOP HAMMY PLEASENCE ALONG WITH SWEET LESLEY ANN AND KEN WAHL’S HAIR HELP TO MAKE THIS ONE A GOOD POPCORN WATCH. HEMMING’S DIRECTION IS ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD, WITH A BIT OF MEANDERING BUT OVERALL, IT’S SHARP AND COMPACT. PLUS, THERE’S PEPPARD!!!
The movie “the treasure of the crash”, shot by Director David Hemingson, represents the purest example of “non-stop-ex” adventures. I only applaud such films. They captivate the audience from the first frame and held in suspense until the very end. The film was shot in one breath.
Beautiful shots of mountain landscapes alternate with dizzying chases. We must pay tribute to the operator Vincent Mohnton: he brilliantly shot scenes of car chases. Sometimes it seems that my head is spinning from this never-ending pursuit, but after a minute, everything falls into place, and I already continue to empathize quickly what is happening on the screen.
In the end it is worth noting magnificent actor Donald Plesance (Gibby), Ken wall (Barney) and Lesley Ann Warren (Sally). If Ken wall long-proven Superman militants (“Brainstorm”, “Soldier”, “Gladiator”), Donald Platens, in General, the original personality. He can play any role, but most of all he shone in a mystical horror movies. In the film David Hemmings Platens plays already in the new vigilantes and copes with the role of Gibby just fine.

Wow, it stars Ken Wahl. It’s gotta suck.

Should be called Race for the Original Soundtrack, because this thing appears to be dubbed in Russian… :^(

It DOES suck, and it’s not just Ken’s fault. The script is a disaster, and the (admittedly well executed) action sequences do nothing to propel the story, bordering on the cartoon-like towards the long-awaited end. Why a solid actor like Donald Pleasence chose to appear in this is beyond me. Plus he’s sloshed almost all the time, and just mumbles and wheezes a lot. Plus there’s a lot of gratuitous screaming and whooping over nothing, mostly from that utterly annoying Lesley Ann Warren bitch!
