Three outlaws hit the road until the road hits back in this supercharged
action thriller.
Larry (
Peter Fonda) is a stock car driver whose reckless nature has caused him a long run of bad luck.
Larry and his friend and mechanic
Deke (
Adam Roarke) need money if they're to get a new car and get back in competition, so they map out a plan to hold up a grocery store after 150,000 dollars has been dropped off for payroll and working cash. The heist goes as planned, except for one little hitch --
Larry spent the night before with his occasional girlfriend
Mary (
Susan George), and she has planted herself in
Larry's car and isn't about to budge. With
Mary along for the ride,
Larry and
Deke try to outrun the cops and make their way to freedom, though lawman
Franklin (
Vic Morrow) is determined to shut them down. Much loved by both gearheads and
action film fans for its hair-raising stunt work and solid performances from the leading cast,
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry was a surprise box-office hit in 1974, grossing nearly 30 million dollars in its initial release.
Roddy McDowall appears uncredited as the manager of the supermarket.

A Supercharged Action-Adventure.
John Hough, the director of Eyewitness, Treasure Island and The Legend of Hell House brings a non-stop action vehicle to the big screen based on the novel, The Chase by Richard Unekis. Peter Fonda and Susan George star in the title roles of an ex-NASCAR racer and a sexy groupie, who along with a racing mechanic (Adam Roarke) pull off a cold-blooded supermarket heist and lead an entire police force on a high-speed chase and a maniacal lawman (Vic Morrow) and hundreds of miles of roadblocks are the only things standing between them and freedom. Also starring Roddy McDowall, Kenneth Tobey, Eugene Daniels, Tom Castranova, Lynn Borden, Al Rossi, Adrianne Herman, Janear Hines and William Catching.
