Viewing Notes

A lot of flaws, but still fairly enjoyable.  One of those movies where characters make a lot of dumb choices to keep the action going.  Annie Potts is always fun to watch.  The best part for me is seeing the Las Vegas strip in the 1970s.

This has been on my rewatch list for a long time! It was a childhood favorite but I haven’t seen it since. IIRC Hamill filmed this before his accident that messed up his face.
