Watch for its driver vaulting over the trunk and moving back quickly to avoid getting hit. That accident where he spins out and gets t-boned in the fender by a light pole, also unplanned.

Yeah.... The remake is only vaguely rememberable for its use of the typical Hollywood twaddle-Insertion of a Gorgeous Girl as a plot device, & use of Big Stars thruout.... That's one of the things that "Worked" so well in the original-NO big stars, just real people, & the "Love" interest was really only between Toby & Eleanor..It was never very clear whether the "Pumpkin" character was Maindrian's wife/main squeeze/sister/employee/whatever..Hollywood took an iconic movie, & "Hollywooded" the remake, threw buckets of money at it, & subsequently RUINED it..
