The Car: Road to Revenge

2019

In a dilapidated cyberpunk city plagued by crime and corruption, an unscrupulous District Attorney is savagely murdered and tossed out of a building onto his brand new car. Mysteriously, the District Attorney and his car come back to life as a single being with a thirst for vengeance. The eerie driver-less car embarks on a vicious rampage exacting revenge on the criminals who murdered him. The Car: Road to Revenge is the stylized sequel to the unconventional horror cult classic The Car (1977), and features an homage to the original with the return of Ronny Cox as the Mechanic.

Review by Ian West ★★ 9

I’m fascinated that 1977’s The Car got a 2019 sequel. Dopey fun, neat Ronny Cox cameo but most of you will probably hate this.
Review by Flynch ★★½

Wenn jemand ermordet wird, kann es schon mal vorkommen, dass er zurückkommt.
Der eine kommt dann als Krähe retour, der andere als …….. Auto.
Ein Revenge-Movie der etwas anderen Art, ein Cocktail aus Interceptor, Christine, Robocop, Mad Max, the Crow usw., fein säu(b)erlich mit einer Prise Cyberpunk versetzt, abgeschmeckt mit einigen TV-Stars (Defiance, CSI:NY, Strike Back) und einem Cameo garniert.
Die Kamera und der Score waren gar nicht mal so schlecht, das Gorehappening war handmade und überraschenderweise wurde auf den Einsatz von CGI fast verzichtet.
Noch überraschter war ich aber von mir selbst, denn so schlecht fand ich das Teil jetzt gar nicht.
Eine Retroreise zurück in die 90er, mit einigen langweiligen Passagen, aber dennoch, abhängig von (meiner) der Tagesverfassung, kann ein Blick vom Trashfan riskiert werden.
Für Fans der billigeren Gangart und Freunde von zusammengeklauten Ideen.
P.S. Da THE CAR (1977) einer meiner Lieblingsfilme ist, kann und will ich hier keinen Zusammenhang sehen. Punkt.
Review by Sofa Sinema ★★½

Works better if you pretend it’s like the seventh DTV sequel to The Car franchise we never got. Chop shop junk with some gratuitous gore, a faux cyberpunk aesthetic, and a dash of vulgar auteurism behind the wheel.
Review by Kaijuman ★★ 1

The Car (1977) was a neat little supernatural flick with a cool killer car. It’s a lot of fun and worth a watch if you enjoy low-budget fare from the 70’s. (Who doesn’t)
But who could have guessed that little b-movie would spawn a DTV sequel 42 years later? Seriously, this is a sequel to a movie that came out over 40 years ago. Why? Besides me and my Dad, who’s even seen The Car? It’s a mystery.
This also takes place in a cyberpunk future for no logical reason. Also the car is more of a vigilante in this rather than a remorseless killer. The Car is possessed by some clingy douche who stalks an ex-girlfriend when it’s not…

My review for The Car: Road to Revenge is as follows:
This was worse than The Kissing Booth 2.

Interpret this information as you will.
Review by Mr. DuLac ★★

The CPU this baby has, it can practically drive itself.
-Caddock
The original 1977 film features James Brolin as a sheriff battling a possessed car in a small town. 42 years later G.J. Echternkamp decided to make a cyberpunk sequel to that film.
It has aspects of being slightly futuristic despite some characters using old iPhones. That’s the kind of film it is. Cyberpunk without the budget to do it.
There’s one small connection to the original film and it involves the filmmakers convincing Ronny Cox to appear in it. He isn’t playing the same character as the original, but he’s part of how it connects to it.
Now if they would have been able to convince James Brolin to…

The setting is dystopian, and the car in question is a high-tech "smart" car that somehow absorbs the soul of its slain owner, a DA out to clean up the town. The car then goes after those that caused his death. The car is a 4 door Chrysler 300. A plain old black CHRYSLER 300 with Lambo doors that visibly flop around. This Chrysler has a cheesy chrome front bumper, orange peel paint and a blacked out front and rear end. They probably used spray paint or black tape. It's that bad. No horn, no eerie terrifying sound, no ominous look, no scary soundtrack. The front…
Review by Vern ★★ 1

You know how it is. Sometimes a car with no driver shows up in a desert town and tries to run over everybody and James Brolin stops it but then in a cyberpunk future there are gangs of cyborg punks who kill a corrupt D.A. and he possesses his car and stalks his ex-girlfriend and later Ronny Cox is back but playing a different character and he uses the remains of the original The Car to repair the new The Car.

THE CAR: ROAD TO REVENGE (2019)
"An unscrupulous District Attorney is savagely murdered and tossed out of a building onto his brand new car. Mysteriously, the District Attorney and his car come back to life as a single being with a thirst for vengeance."
To actually call this a sequel to the original The Car (1977) is a travesty beyond repair!
I don't hate this film like I noticed a lot of critics seem to, but I must admit I was severely disappointed. Sure, I knew it was going to be an in-name sequel only (I mean it's 42 years too late to be anything but) but still I held some hope for entertainment value. It's completely schlocky, a cashgrab…
Review by Jerome1994 ★★½

So some how The Car (1977) got a sequel, okay yes this sequel is very pointless. But I have to give credit where credit is due this movie is surprisingly not awful. The movie does have some horrendous special effects in it but that’s the only thing I would say is flat out terrible. Everything else is what you would expect from a straight to DVD movie, the acting is over the top but at the same time it’s pretty fun! The same can be said about the writing it’s definitely not good but it’s a lot of fun, it was nice to see Ronny Cox in this one as well! Something I also kinda liked about this movie is…
Review by Curtis ★★ 8

Less a sequel and more of an echo of the 1977 film.
It has a lot of the more irritating earmarks of modern, straight-to-video cheap flicks, but by the end, I did find myself somewhat engaged. Though, there's one CGI stunt that almost pulled me completely out of the movie.
I can't decide if setting this in a generic cyberpunk future is the silliest idea ever, or the third silliest idea ever.
Review by Kevin Cormier ★★

After a dislikable and powerful district attorney is murdered and thrown out of a window into his fancy new car, his spirit takes over the car and seeks revenge on those that have wronged him.
This wasn’t too bad, had it’s moments of gore and some over the top bad guys which were almost campy, but the lead actress Kathleen Munroe was good and kept my attention.
