Rating:  - Junkman
It is a good movie if like watching High Speed police Chases and crashes. It has about 170 crashes in the entire movie.
Rating:  - Not Fred Sanford - a different Junkman
The Junkman is the follow-up to H.B. Halicki's Gone In 60 Seconds (1974). It is an independent film written, produced by, and starring the self-made amateur. Thus, I'm inclined to judge it with a kinder and gentler tone. The plot is centered around a salvage yard mechanic that grew into a successful filmmaker and business mogul. The viewer isn't burdened with the details of how this came to be, as this movie is all about action and not a biography. What's important to the viewer is that some unknown party wants him to die in a spectacular and highly publicized death. So while on the road minding his own business our mechanic/mogul finds himself ambushed by 4 armed assassins. Two are in cars, two are in biplanes. Our unarmed hero has only his wits and driving skills versus their semi-automatic weapons and grenades.
You are not going to watch this for the plot, which is quite thin. You will not be dazzled by the acting, the cast is quite unskilled. For heaven's sake, don't expect intriguing dialogue! This movie is the filming of a cat and mouse game with cars and airplanes. The rest of the movie is an afterthought, it would seem. The idea here was to raise the bar set by the excellent chase scene in the original Gone In 60 Seconds, but The Junkman falls a bit short.
Almost all of the car crashes and stunts - including the car jumping over the low flying airplane - are superfluous and add nothing to the great escape attempt. Careless onlookers rear ending each ... Read More
Rating:  - The Suck. Yup.
If your taste in movies revolves around watching a man (with an enormous ego) who can't act playing a man who can't act who loves the sight of ground metal, then you need to have your head examined.
I want those two hours of my life back.
Rating:  - DVD
If you like car crash and car chase scenes then this is the movie. If you have seen the original "Gone in 60 seconds". Then you may not be impressed because a lot of the same footage is used in all three movies. It was still worth seeing.
Rating: - Great movie
This movie has a better attempt at a story than Halicki's previous movie, Gone in 60 Seconds, but the driving and stunts aren't quite as exciting. Still, Halicki delivers more the rip-roaring action and comedy in a way that looks more realistic than most movies of this style. The story is still feels like it was inserted more as an afterthought to the stunts and action sequences, but it was a more coherent than it's predecessor.
