About This Movie

Used Cars is a wild ride through the sleazy underbelly of car sales, directed by Robert Zemeckis before he hit it big. It has this chaotic energy, with sharp comedic timing that keeps you on your toes. The pacing is a bit frenetic, which mirrors the frantic atmosphere of the used car business. Kurt Russell really shines as the charismatic salesman, bringing a layer of charm to a story that’s both absurd and oddly relatable. Practical effects are used to great effect, especially in the over-the-top gags and stunts.

It’s definitely a unique piece in Zemeckis’ filmography, showcasing his early knack for blending humor with a dash of heart.
