This movie is really a classic b-movie. It’s got Kurt Russell (The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes) as a man who is the best used car salesman in the county. He’s caught in a dealership war between two twin brothers, and is constantly scheming to make money, but not upset the balance.
Like many b-movies, this plays as a series of 3 vignettes. There’s the vignette about interrupting the television signal, and accicdentally showing the naked woman ( a popular penthouse spread at the time) and the vignette about false advertising and teaching kids to drive in mexico, and of course the vignette about the owner dying and trying to fake like he’s still alive, until you can find his estranged daughter so his eveil twin brother doesn’t inherit his dealership.
These vignettes play themselves out in a ridiculous and slapstick manner, which is comical, but not that great. I enjoyed watching this movie, but I really wouldn’t recommend it, or rewatch it. It’s just not really worth it. 1.
