, Shout Factory brings two of Ron Howard's "vehicles" for Roger Corman's New World Pictures back onto DVD in new 16:9 anamorphic widescreen transfers loaded with extras. Forget that DA VINCI CODE crap (see, I didn't do an Amazon link to it, that's how much I dislike the film and the book). In EAT MY DUST!,small town boy Howard steals a race car to impress a girl (Christopher Norris, AIRPORT '75
). Corman scripter Charles B. Griffith directs. In GRAND THEFT AUTO, Howard and Nancy Morgan are star-crossed lovers who steal her father's limousine and hightail it to Vegas to get hitched before their parents, a jealous boyfriend, a P.I., and bounty hunters can stop them. Howard's Happy Days mother Marion Ross co-stars along his with real life brother Clint (EVILSPEAK
) and father Rance in this rip-roaring family affair. The late Gary Graver (DOCTOR DRACULA
) served as cinematographer, Joe Dante (PIRANHA
) edited, and THE TERMINATOR
's Jon Davison produced. Both previously released in old fullscreen transfers by New Concorde and Beuna Vista, Shout Factory's 2-disc set is the only way to really enjoy these!REVIEW LINK 1: DVDBeaver
