Hot rods, hot chicks, juvenile delinquents and one set of tormented, square parents on the road. Buckle up for the ride.Hot Rods To Hell is a classic cult tale of the youth culture vs. the unhip gown-ups. Filmed in the mid-60's, when the baby boomers were out numbering their elders, it captures America's unease and fear of these ruffians taking over the country. Don't Trust Anyone Over 30 was the teen diatribe of the times and this movie coveys the 60's youth's distain of their authority figures.
What better way to get back at your elders then to chase them off the road with a tricked out hot rod and a blonde chick gyrating with excitement holding on for the ride. Like other road movies; such as The Hitcher and Duel, this film demonstrates that the highway can be a very scary place. However, this film has cool hot rods and no seat belts.
You may find this movie goofy and dated, but that's exactly what I love about it. The parents are total stereotypes with melodramatic expressions. The youth are all troubled and seem to have no hope for a better future because they lack ambition and goals. The over the top dramatic delivery of the dialogue also adds to the humor.
