Review

Motorama (1991) is a seriously strange film, and was probably created to become a cult classic. A ten year old boy, sick of his drunken abusive parents arguing, makes special stilts, breaks his piggy bank, steals a Mustang, and drives off to play Motorama, a filling station contest. With a minimum purchase of $5.00, you get Motorama cars. Pull off the seal, find the letters to spell Motorama, and you win $500 million. The first odd thing is that nobody seems to notice that he is only ten. He encounter one wacko after another, and has no end of mis-adventures, including the loss of an eye, and having his arm tattooed against his will.

Gus (Jordan Christopher Michael) is sitting by his car at a vista point opening Motorama cards, and a couple ask if they can "borrow his back seat to get it on." When he doesn't even look up, that is exactly what they do. The film takes place in a mythical country with mythical stated that look a whole lot like Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. The film is chuck full of cameo appearances, including Robert Picardo, Mary Woronov, Jack Nance, Michael J. Pollard, Meat Loaf, Drew Barrymore and Dick Miller. It is dark, and very long on what Reel.com used to call off-beat energy. I don't want to reveal any more of the plot details, in case you decide to watch it. Technically, the film is well made, but it is a very strange film. If the genre is cult black comedy, this is a C.

Nudity Report: The exposure comes from Cynthia R. King.

IMDB Summary: IMDB readers have it at 5.0/10.
