Joe Dante's "Trailers from Hell" web site enlists our ol' pal John Landis to "celebrate" the ultimate guilty pleasure movie, Universal's cheesy "Jaws" on wheels concept, "The Car". Released in 1977, I recall attending an advance critic's screening in New York. As the audience howled in laughter, grim-faced Universal executives made notes on the reaction. I later recommended to one and all that they should see the film immediately, which several did. Apparently, however, while they agreed it was a hoot, some of the most unintentionally hilarious bits were apparently excised from the film before its general release. Perhaps bad movie lovers can launch a quest to find and restore that missing footage, just as historians have been trying to track down all those cut scenes from "The Magnificent Ambersons".
