Rainey Dawn Polk County Pot Plane AKA In Hot Pursuit (1977). This is another trash film in the Drive-in 50-pack collection. Well, they can't all be winners. LOL. This one is definitely not a winner.This is a Z-grade film. Wannabe "Smokey and the Bandit" type of a film that tries to lure you in with it's tagline 'Life in the Fast Lane'. I'm guessing they are borrowing their tagline from the 1976 Eagles song of the same title which was still hot in 1977.This drug smuggling film was trying to cash in on the success of "Smokey and the Bandit" and the TV hit show "Dukes of Hazzard" I'm afraid, but the film fails miserably to meet the standards of either. This film really is a bummer.1/10

Wizard-8 It's pretty obvious that "In Hot Pursuit" was made for the southern drive-in circuit, though I am pretty sure that a large portion of the audience that saw the movie at the time were pretty underwhelmed. To be fair, not everything in the movie is bad. Though this movie had a really low budget, the filmmakers were able to pull off some impressive vehicular work, as well as some other kinds of eye-catching stunts. However, the script was not ready for filming. For starters, there is next to no character development. We don't even learn the names of some of the characters! And the little we see of these characters is kind of a turn-off, doing such things as shoot at policemen. And there is very little plot as well - most of the movie consists of the characters eluding the police or driving around. Even action junkies will find themselves bored in short notice.

walkinthecreek I haven't seen this movie yet, but my husband has. He said it stunk as bad as the previous commenter said.My take on it is, I grew up just a few miles from where the plane landed, just down Highway 100. My dad and my uncle heard about it on their CB radios and went up to see it before the Sheriff ever got there. A short time later, they took the rest of us up the hill to see it. The plane was empty, but it was amazing how small the clearing was in which they landed this plane.Literally, a square landing field was made in the middle of the woods. There were tree stumps and debris and Georgia red mud, it was like a choppy ocean with hard, stationary waves.The plane had clipped pine trees as it came down and there were still pine needles stuck in the prop.I was only about 10 and I'll never forget how surreal it was. Maybe if I ever actually see the flick, I'll come back and tell you how they did.

BaronBl00d Boy, they just don't make them like this one anymore. Thank God for that! This is a pathetically dreary film about a "gang" of drug smugglers and their not-so-funny misadventures as they are hounded by the Georgia State Patrol while first in a beat up camper and then a huge rig. I would guess that at least half of the film is made up of lame chases, which is considerably better than having the acting "leads" on screen for any time at all. The police are portrayed as complete idiots as they have multiple cars unable to derail a camper until a fifteen minute chase has ended - only to have the "gang" break out of prison by a helicopter. The two leads are long-haired non-actors Don Watson and Bobby Watson playing Oosh and Boosh. They are criminals with no redeeming attributes and live to have a joint. The other performers are just as talented with some really bad turns by the likes of James Crews as "Bubble Eye, " Sandy St. Armour as the head of "the Organization, " and in the most ridiculous role we have Jim Whozitt(sometimes credited as Big Jim - c'mmon this is the only film he ever did) as the Pilot. He is flying to Columbia to get 10 million's worth in cocaine and pot and wears the most God-awful sansabelt slacks even for the 70's. This is a bad movie all around and very amateurish, but unlike other inept efforts in film-making - this one is just no fun at all to sit through. It plods on and on, trying to funny in some spots and failing miserably. It fails when it tries to shock a few times as well. This makes the Smokey and the Bandit series almost look like art.
