Driver's Ed Scare Films V03
Wheels of Tragedy (color), The Bottle and the Throttle (b&w), Help Is... (color), Short Stops (b&w), You Can't Stop on a Dime (b&w), What Right of Way (b&w), The Perfect Crime (color)
Thinking about taking a nice quiet drive this weekend? What, are you nuts?! Watch this third VOLUME of Driver's Ed Scare Films and you'll undoubtedly never want to get behind the wheel of a car again... Wheels of Tragedy (color): More charred corpses and smashed skulls from everyone's favorite highway gore film makers! But this doozy marked the first time a Highway Safety Film featured third-rate actors in goofy re-enactments moments before the inevitable footage of real dead bodies. One minute it's pretend, the next, real corpses! And not only do we get the ominous narrator guiding us through the usual blood 'n' guts footage, now we have a host of cardboard cops commenting on the action. Like all good HSF productions, this one is impossible to turn off. Incidently, HSF's motto was Motion pictures that tell it like it is! Scary says: Grim postcards from the endless highway of death! The Bottle and the Throttle (b&w): You really fouled up this time, didn't you, Bill? That woman is dead and her child is in critical care all because you had that one extra beer. You had a Superman complex behind the wheel just when you should have been paying attention. How does it feel, Bill? Might we remind you that this moment will haunt you for the rest of your life?... Scary says: SID DAVIS' moral blitzkrieg rages on, darker and harder than ever before! Help Is... (color): What do you do if come upon a bad car accident? Why, just wait for the echo-chambered voice to start giving you first aid tips! Funky grooves and lots of zooms make this weirdo Canadian flick a sure-fire block-party rocker. It even looks like a zombie movie. Scary says: Get high with a little help from Help Is...! Short Stops (b&w) The art of braking is explored using an array of giant old 1950's gas-guzzling cars. Later we see strange archaic experiments involving darts shooting out of tires (don't ask), all the while our happy narrator chirps on about brakes, brakes, and brakes. Scary says: Things just aren't what they used to be! You Can't Stop on a Dime (b&w): Sid Davis soft-core about young people's misconception of how long it takes to stop. Looped muzak and out-of-sync narration bring unintentional surreality and hilarity to the proceedings. Surprising for a Sid Davis picture, no one even gets hurt (let alone dies). However, all his sly hallmarks are in place and it's as nutty as ever. Scary says: Like looking at a field of ghosts! What Right of Way (b&w): Limited access highways and left-turn fender benders come under the close scrutiny of our unnamed host. He yaps away, fumbling lines, and looking like he needs a very stiff drink. Scary says: More proof that the world needed HSF to shake things up! The Perfect Crime (color): It starts like a sleazy crime film: a gunman goes into a store and shoots a little girl. It makes the headlines but the cops eventually bust the guy. What does all this have to do with Driver's Ed? You just wait and see. Our hard-as-nails narrator makes a heartfelt yet head-scratchingly strange case for vehicular manslaughter being the perfect crime. Ouch! Scary says: What the hell were they thinking? Scary Ed
