Used Cars


Product Details


This 1980 film by director Robert Zemeckis gives no indication of things to come in his career (Contact, Forrest Gump), but it is representative of a certain cynical humor he shared early on with writer-partner Bob Gale. Kurt Russell and Jack Warden star in a sketchy comedy about competing used-car salesmen who resort to outrageous tactics to lure customers away from each other. The jokes, like the characters, are intentionally recycled, self-conscious comic fodder from a baby-boomer's lifetime (such as Gale's or Zemeckis's) of immersion in pop culture. That makes Used Cars more pastiche than original (the film's title itself suggests that), but as such it has some good, if vaguely familiar, laughs in it. Russell, particularly, is very funny as a practiced con man. --Tom Keogh

Product Reviews


(4 stars) - This movie is a classic!
I first saw this movie when I was 16 - 17 years old. It was one of the funniest movies I ever saw. The second time I saw it is now at 45 years old. It was just as funny as I remember it. I highly recommend it. I would give it five stars, but nothing is perfect.



(5 stars) - Used cars
Great movie, Saw it some time ago. & at the price it was a good deal, however I bought for my two grand kids & it was the RAW uncut version.Being a used car dealer since 1968 I will keep it for adult veiwing.



(5 stars) - Used Cars
An excellent DVD. Very funny.I was very satisfied with the clarity of the DVD. Very fast shipment on it.



(5 stars) - Used Cars
In my opinion, the funniest movie ever made. Overlooked at the time by many and underpromoted, they SHOULD have made a sequal. Russell and Jim the Mechanic steal the show. Great ensemble cast & the funniest scenes ever put together for a film. 30 years ago & it's still as good as it gets!



(1 stars) - How is this movie rated so high?
I decided to write this review because I had to warn people about this movie when I saw all of the glowing 5 star reviews proclaiming this as the funniest movie ever made.


I made the mistake of buying this based upon said reviews. I made an error.

I watched this movie twice because I wanted to give it a second chance and I still don't know where any of the "belly laughs" were in this movie and I certainly didn't have the problem experienced by many other reviewers of falling out of my chair in fits of laughter. I guess comedies didn't have to be that funny in 1980 to make people laugh. To be fair - there are some funny parts in here and some nudity, but not enough to warrant buying this movie - or even watching it more than once. I would have given it 2 stars but I had to try to counter all of the 5 star reviews to let people know that this movie is not nearly as funny as it is made out to be on Amazon (4&1/2 stars???Really?). If you really want to see it, I would highly recommend renting first.
