Alamo Website:  Jamie Lee Curtis needs to stop hitchhiking. In John Carpenter’s 1980 film THE FOG, she hops in a big rig immediately before ghost pirates infest a New England town. In the following year’s ROAD GAMES, she thumbs a ride from award-winning actor/trucker/megaspazz Stacy Keach as he’s tracking down a highway serial killer. The mysterious maniac has been leaving various girl parts all across the countryside, and Pat Quid (Keach) has taken it upon himself to rid the Australian outback of its criminal threat. What follows is an exceptionally bizarre cat-and-mouse story, with a seemingly coked-out Keach flooring it all the way to the closing credits. Roll out for an unstoppable outburst of back-stabbings, regular stabbings and some skull-whackin’ low budget vehicular mayhem! If a Hitchcock-obsessed caveman was given a movie camera, two famous actors, a bunch of cars, and a handful of suicidal stuntmen, this is the movie he’d make. (Zack)
