Used Cars
Like new, great looking and fully loaded with laughs.
Jack Warden is brilliant in a double role as two feuding brothers Luke and Roy L. Fuchs, who own competing car lots and are trying to drive each other out of business. Rudy Russo (Kurt Russell) is Luke's ace salesman, a charming and conniving cheat and liar who is merely in training for his true ambition - politics. In one of Rudy's most outrageous advertising ploys, he hires a model (Penthouse Pet of the Year Cheryl Rixon) to strip on television, and the all wind up in a crazy automobile stampede involving 200 vintage cars in a high-speed chase that becomes a free-for-all demolition derby.

Boring and lame - Calzephyr
Used Cars is extremely dated, both in its tasteless humour, non-stop swearing and pedantic pacing. There were a few laughs, but I found myself walking around and doing other things while my husband stuck it out. It's such a great idea, but so poorly executed. There's a lot of talent in this movie that just goes to waste. The car chase at the end isn't even that great.Gross, Crude, Sick, tasteless, and VERY funny - kap0n3
This is a romantic comedy, but not one I would watch with my wife!The tasteless jokes and one-liners roll out almost non-stop.The movie verifies most everything we believe about used car salesmen, the "My boss will have a heart Attack" sales scene nearly brings me to tears I laugh so hard. Russell is at his best with some of the best character actors around joining in, I especially like the goofy Lenny and Squiggy, they just play two very disturbed individuals. Don't look for any deep meaning here, just crude humor a a very funny movie.
