Description:
Mary and Larry are two lovers, who , with Larry's ace mechanic, kidnap the daughter of a grocery store owner, and make off with the ransom. They are chased over hill, over vale by the cops, who deploy everything from 426 Hemis to helicopters to stop Larry's Dodge Charger
Amazon.com:
Susan George (Straw Dogs) is ex-groupie Mary and Peter Fonda (Easy Rider) is wannabe-NASCAR driver Larry. They're thieves on the run from sheriff Vic Morrow (The Blackboard Jungle), who carries neither gun nor badge. According to director John Hough (The Legend of Hell House), his white trash cult classic was 'an action picture with a lot of stunts.' That about sums it up. The Tarantino favorite is slim on character development, but overstuffed with automobile-oriented action (most revolving around a 1969 Dodge Charger). Notable stunts include a game of chicken with a couple of 18-wheelers, a low-flying helicopter chase, and a death-defying leap over a moving bridge (Speed would up the ante with a bus). Adapted from the novel The Chase, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry also has one shocker of an ending. Adam Roarke, as levelheaded mechanic Deke, and an uncredited Roddy McDowall, as supermarket manager George, provide solid support. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A film that aged poorly
I saw this film when it premiered at the Drive-in theaters in the '70s along with my car-crazed pals and we really liked it... but we were really young.
Now, having recently viewed the DVD, I have to say that this is, in truth, an abysmal film. And the hope that young people today would enjoy it will not materialize because movie quality has just evolved way beyond this one and young folks will simply laugh at the bad haircuts and the goofy lines of script.
THE STORY IS A SIMPLE ONE: Two guys (one a racecar driver, played by Peter Fonda, and the other an ace mechanic) pull off a robbery at a large grocery store. The purpose is to get money so that Fonda and his partner can afford to get back into professional racing. Fonda successfully collects the armored car delivery of cash in the store manager's office while the mechanic holds the store manager's wife and daughter hostage at their home.
Unfortunately for Fonda (dubbed "Crazy Larry"), the girl he shacked up with in a motel on the previous evening is a bit of a nut ("Dirty Mary") and she injects herself into Fonda's plans when she follows him to the robbery site and jumps into his getaway car. The robbery comes off okay but the cops are in pursuit more quickly than the two anticipated. It's a key element of the story that this robbery was well-planned including the use of a police radio in the getaway car. The two attempt to dump "Little Mary Coons" (aka "Dirty Mary", aka "Dingleberry," as Fonda calls her) ... Read More
Rating:  - Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
A romp through the country in a hot rod. A drive-in movie type picture completely void of any message, just fun. I liked it.
Rating: - Fast and Furious!
Sure, it's over 30 years old and that does mean it is dated but is it still fun? You bet. Top-notch cast: Peter Fonda, Susan George, Vic Morrow, Adam Roarke, un-credited cameo by Roddy McDowell and a 1969 Dodge Charger. If you are looking for character development look elsewhere: Fonda is a loon for speed, Roake a reformed alcoholic, George a foul mouthed tart and Morrow as a Sheriff who doesn't carry a gun. The ending is a classic.
Rating:  - For Supercharged Charger Fans
I love this movie and the DVD extras on this movie are worth it! it's a classic anti-hero movie from my youth
Rating: - Not what I remembered
I remember seeing this movie as a young teen in the mid seventies, especially the ending, but watching it as an adult it is really
kind of stupid.
No storyline or plot, just drive like crazy and run from the police.
Peter Fonda never became the actor his father was, even his goofy sister
Jane is a better actor.
