Bad acting, dumb plots but kind of fun way to remember the 70s- tight bell bottom slacks, flowery shirts, butterfly collars, feathered hair, boots, Citizens Band Radios, "turkey," VW Beetles and race cars! Oh, and check out the "impressive" computer that is used to run the secret spy agency Casey works for-- spools, blinking lights-- you almost expect someone to slam a data cassette into the side of the thing..
Forget plot for either "story" in this two-part film: You'll have more fun scratching your head at the weird inconsistencies. For one, Casey is warned to get the trypolodene to the Government lab "before it closes at five"-- so the Government lab cant stay open to receive a vital, top-secret fuel additive? For another, the second segment is set up in the first, with the hokey trucker repeatedly telling Sam that he's going to quit trucking to "race cars in Ontario." But when we run into the trucker in the second episode, they are clearly somewhere in the South..
The best way to watch this film is to find the Mystery Science Theatre version- it's a riot!
The acting is forgettable to say the least.
