While I was awfully critical of this film being included the first time I saw this, like "what is this doing in the archive??" (ooh nasty). After reading the actual description of this, and viewing the film again, I appreciated this film a lot more. It was sort of fun watching them drive crazily all over the place, not really stopping for anything. At the speed they were going, I was waiting for them to careen off a cliff..
