The Wraith - Good Bad Flicks 

The interceptor is way cooler than whatever Kitt was. Love the on-point one-liners.

This movie blew my mind as a kid!

Watched this so many times in high school. Sherilyn Fenn swimming scene, futuristic car, the characters "Skank" and "Gutterboy," Ronny Howard's brother, Sheriff Randy Quaid, and lots of ghostly revenge. Loved it! Still love it

I love how Jake gives his brother a one-of-a-kind car that was used in three vehicular homicides. I wonder how long it took for Billy to get arrested on suspicion of murder.

The Wraith inspired The Crow? MIND BLOWN!

I'm not into Fast and The Furious, or many other car-related movies, but I LOVE the Wraith, in all its cheesy glory.

It's one of my favourite 80s movies, I have a lot of good memories.

I LOVED this movie when I was a kid. I still enjoy it.

I was quite late to this, caught it one night in the summer of 2002, I'd just turned 16 and thought it was the coolest film ever, perfect soundtrack, action and revenge fantasy. Became one of my favourites when I located the dvd and later on the blu ray. An easy watch with lots of replay value.

I love that movie. Had it on VHS and watched the hell out of it.

Wore out my VHS...just watched it a couple of weeks ago in the garage while working on my car. Next day at work I said I watched the best 1980s Dodge commercial ever and everyone over 30 said, The Wraith!

The Wraith was my personal coming of age movie. Loved it back in the 80s and I still love it today!!!! And that soundtrack.... muah...just perfect!!

This was my best movie beside knight rider in the 80's. Missing the childhood days. Damn wish I can go back to those days.

I used to watch this on HBO...I loved it!

Caught this movie on HBO while skipping a day of high school 1987. Good times haha... Great movie!

ya damn right this is an awesome movie....80's muscle cars, 80's music, hot chicks...its all here, especially when u have Ozzy Osbourne headlining the soundtrack, now THATS how u start a movie

Randy Quaid. Charly Sheen... Clint Howard!!! ROAD PIRATES WITH MOHAWKS!!! Sign me up.

Haha, i loved this movie when i was a kid and i had a huge crush on Sherilyn Fenn!

Finally saw this movie for the first time tonight and it was a lot of fun! Also agree on the soundtrack there's even a scene with Billy Idol's Rebel Yell playing which is one of my favorites from the 80s, Good stuff.

I had never heard of this movie until I watched it last night on Comet TV. I was very impressed and will probably end up getting it on DVD or Blu-ray.

This movie was one of my favorites. You did a Fantastic job narrating.

I've always loved this movie. I've wanted that Dodge M4S since I was a kid. It's the first purchase I would make if I hit the lottery.

Ahhh, Moving Violations...yet *another* underrated bit of cinematic awesomeness.

The Wraith is my all time favorite movie! I can watch it over n over n it never gets old. Wen i was 13 or 14, i had 3 vhs tapes (yeah, im that old lol) with the wraith on them just so i could watch it over n over without havin to wait for it to rewind. Now ive got it on dvd. Ive always dreamed of ownin the turbo interceptor. Wat an awesome car!

Omg best movie ever in 1986 flashback from my childhood... Awesome soundtrack

Watched it in the 80s, loved it. That car is so amazing, even by today's standards, just like the DeLorean.

Sherilyn Fenn was smoking hot back then, I mean look at that body....It's flawless >8D

I loved it as a kid watching it when it would come on cinemax or hbo....I re-watched it about 3 weeks ago and I liked it even more.

I remember thinking Sherilyn Fenn was the hottest thing ever in this movie.

Thanks! I Islanders thing was more of an inside joke for a friend of mine. They are a team he likes but they lose all the time.

Damn this movie is only 1 pair or rollerblades away from being the ultimate 80' movie! I have to watch this!

Loved The Wraith!! One of my favorite movies! The Interceptor needs to be up there with the Batmobile, General Lee & KITT as iconic movie vehicles!

Gear head here. Loved this movie and the 80s metal soundtrack.

I don't care what you say this movie is still awesome!

DAMN! i love going back to the 80s and 90s classics , i love to watch it on TV someday.

A true cult-film indeed. I was about 7 or so when I first watched it at a friend's house. Not knowing the title of it (neither the English or the Norwegian), we just referred to it as "the black car". The chases were reenacted dozens of times when we played. I actually have the movie on DVD and VHS. LOVE the soundtrack. Thanks for the review, brought back memories. And yes... it IS a good bad flick. :)

5:17 "Well, isn't she friendly" made me laugh. Love this, it's a great sick day movie. Told me a lot I didn't know about it.

Great video!! I used to watch this all the time on WPIX-11 (NYC) when I was a kid. I bought the remastered dvd a few years ago. "Hold On Blue Eyes" is one of my all-time favorite songs.

This movie was a guilty pleasure of my childhood. I loved it.

When I first saw this on channel 11 as a kid I was blown away my favorite movie

one of my all time favorites , brings back alot of memories

"The Wraith" is called "Interceptor" in Germany. Yes, they replaced an English title with another English title.

Such a classic.... And awesome soundtrack

This used to be on cable all the time when I was a kid. HBO, Showtime, The Movie Channel etc. I need to rewatch this as an adult.

Awesome review! This is one of my 80's "go-to" films when I need a nostalgic fix. I remember seeing the trailer back in '87 when it came out on Pay Per View and became fascinated with it. Of course after seeing it back then, I was immediately hooked. It's got all the ingredients of a great 80's flick! Thanks for paying homage to The Wraith! All hail Charlie Sheen!

One of the BEST movies EVER made.

I’m 23 and I grew up watching this movie because of my dad. I just bought the same 1985 Honda enduro that’s Charlie sheen rides in this movie

Sherilyn Fenn yummy times a thousand. One of my all time favorites. That scene where she wears that blue one-piece swimsuit WOW!

Wow this brings back memories. HBO & Cinemax had a half dozen movies they would play in the mid afternoon on the weekends and this was one of them. Monster Squad, Ice Pirates, and Beast Master also come to mind. Awesome review!

Great, underrated movie.

Tim Feehan wrote and performed the song "Where's The Fire" which is on the soundtrack of this movie. Tim Feehan was born here in Edmonton,Alberta,Canada but he had already moved to Los Angeles by the time this movie was released.

It's a classic ! One of my favorite movies or all times . Just a fun ride and octane !

It's always cool to watch something there's no way will ever get made again. Interesting to know that some involved genuinely still want to make a sequel.

I really loved this movie when I was a kid.

I like this movie, I watched it for the first time in 1990 on VHS, later in television, and I acquired a digital copy in 2019 and I watch it every year.

I wouldn't consider this a bad movie in the least. It still holds up well today.

My only beef with THE WRAITH (which I love) is he had no real opposition, he was too unstoppable... there was no "KRYPTONITE" scene, no scene to cheer for our hero to comeback and defeat the villain. But it had Ms Finn in a boob scene...SO ALL IS FORGIVEN!!!

I adore this movie it's one of my all time favorite films.

Charlie's dad Martin did a good car/revenge movie in the early 70's called "The California Kid". Both movies have very satisfying endings.

You forgot the most famous scene in the end when Billy realizes that Jake is his brother. Jake! 😭Jake! 😭 JAMIE!!!!!😭😭😭

"Think he made it?"....lol!

Damn, this looks cool as hell! Wish it was on Blu-ray in North America...

This is one of my all time favorite cult classics, I usually watch it about 5 or 6 times a year

Time you clicked a 14 minute video so you don’t have to watch the 93 minute movie but realize you’ve seen it before, and still finish watching the 14 minute video.

The Wraith is like Crow only less goth and more metal.

I grew up watching this film, it brings back so many good memories.

Two things I loved about this vid: You included the clip of Gutterboy about their constipational rights, which is f'n hilarious. You mentioned how the Wraith's engine was "from the future", which, from the perspective of the movie being done in '86, actually turned out to be true. Most car companies have downsized by now to lower capacity inline-4 engines with turbos, like the actual Dodge M4S prototype had :|

The funniest thing is when I show people pictures of the Turbo Interceptor, they instantly think it's a brand new import. Then their jaws drop when I tell them it was made by Dodge back in the 80's.

this movie is amazingly underrated, the shots were excellent, the car chases were great, the only problem I had is that Charlie Sheen was mostly like Gary Stu throughout the movie if you don't include the back-story and it ends quite quickly, not much of risks involved in the plot, granted The Crow is still superior when it comes to the narrative aspect, setting, pacing and the characters but I still recommend it wholeheartedly, definitely not an Oscar material but it's an excellent B movie material

LOVE MOVIE AND SOUND TRACK! a remake should be done! growing up in the 1980's was more fun! need that time machine now!

Been watching this since I was 4 years old. Had it recorded off HBO on a VHS tape that also had The Boy Who Could Fly and Halloween 4. This was the movie that got me into cars and hair metal. The Dodge M4S is still my favorite movie car of all time. Now im 38 and I share this movie at least once a year with my son. Miss movies like these. Real stunt drivers, real cars, on real locations with real stunts.

Another 80s gear head classic people forget about. No Man's Land (1987)

watched this recently - highly entertaining!

80's babies stand up! One of my favorite flix.

I agree. I loved this film.

Both this film and The Crow borrowed the coming back from the dead for revenge theme from the much earlier film "High Plains Drifter" starring Clint Eastwood. For much of that film, Eastwood's character is hinted to be the brother of the man who was brutally murdered by a gang. Looks nothing like his murdered brother. It was made to seem that he came to avenge his brother's death against both the gang, and certain members of the town who contributed to the death by doing nothing to help. Only at the very end do we learn that it's the murdered man himself. Back as an avenging spirit, in human form and with a new face. It's subtle. But as the dwarf in the film openly says to him that he never caught his name and doesn't know what it is, Eastwood's character says, "Yes you do." He then casually rides off as a look of horrified realization comes across the dwarf's face.

This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it sucks, but I like it anyway. I feel the same way about "Starship Troopers".

This review inspired me to rewatch this movie again on RU-vid… Cecil of Good Bad Flicks is right the soundtrack is sooooo good.

This is a perfect rainy Sunday movie and God i love that car.

6.14 5.500 RPM not speed :).

I just discovered this channel and love it. I always thought I was the only one who enjoyed a lot of these odd ball movies reviewed on here.

Gudderhead and chicken boy. This is one of my favorite movies ever besides big trouble in little china ive seen both over 100 times a piece. And i find something new almost everytime.

Loved this movie since I was a kid

The Wraith's car chases > Every car chase in the Fast and the Furious movies.

Great review. This was one of my favorite movies growing up. Me and my cousin used to call each other Skank and Gutterboy when we were kids (and on occasion still do) and the first car i bought after high school was an 81 Corvette.

My favorite movie of all time.

the 80's was the best decade...

I actually cried, when they wrecked that barracuda

This was an amazing movie for an 8yr old to watch, that car was so cool and the women hot as hell. Just a cool perk of having much older siblings.

During its theatrical run here in Australia, The Wraith was rated R18+ - restricted to adults 18 years and over. Probably a little inappropriate, but the MA15 (restrictions apply to audiences 15 years and older) wasn't introduced until 1993, after the controversy of The Silence of the Lambs and Martin Scorcese's version of Cape Fear.

I only saw this by chance in the late 90s, despite being an 80s kid. The only reason I can think is that it wasn't so well known in the UK. It was in the very very early hours of the morning when I caught it while channel hopping half drunk after a night out. Realising how great it was I slapped a VHS in the recorder and, obviously I missed the start, but I was able to show my friends who also hadn't seen it and thought it was awesome. We then managed to hunt down the full thing when the internet became popular a few tears later.

You know what sucks about the movie? At the very end, Jamie pins all of the murders on his brother by giving him the car and skipping town. What kind of brother does that?

Filmed around Tucson. Gutter boy and skank are fantastic.

Finally, people who understand the concept of the good bad movie. I'm not alone. Lol

THANX A MILLION FOR THIS! The Wraith is one of my All time favourites of the 80s Thrillers

Never heard of this movie before, now I want to watch it, thanks.

I lived through the '80s: we *all* wore shirts with belts (like a dress) and jumped on bikes with people we'd never met before. Guess you had to be there...

This is one of my top 5 best movies ever made.

Love this movie so much.

I love this movie. I really hope we see a remake or a sequel. Though it's been 6 years since this video came out, I don't know if the Director is still shopping around a remake. I'd like to see a sequel where Loomis returns and witnesses the same event from the 80's happen over again, but with different kids of course.
