I actually saw the special car hauler that was hauling the cars to the location as it went through Phoenix. This movie is a prime example why you should never listen to a movie critic. I rarely agree with them and typically I just ignore them. this is a great movie. You did miss one thing about one of the biggest stars of the movie though... the car the Wraith drives was a special Chrysler PPG Pace car that was loaned to the movie company for the movie. It was a one of a kind prototype and came with a whole crew of mechanics and engineers to maintain it. "He's no match for the 'Cuda son!" I didn't know about Johnny Depp though. I imagine the real reason he was hanging around was to keep an eye on his girlfriend around Charlie Sheen... knowing what we know now about both of those two people!

[@dvt1393]

Haha I know, it's pretty hilarious. I love Minty, but him mispronouncing the word Wraith in the live action cutaways and the super obvious dubs in the voiceovers killed me. And he missed one in the voiceover, which made it even more obvious. My guess is that he probably grew up thinking that the movie was called The "Wrath", and only learned that is was actually "Wraith" after he had already finished making this episode.

[@publiusvelocitor4668]

All filmed around Tucson, AZ. A totally ridiculous movie. My favorite part is at the end when the ghost of the older brother gives his kid brother magical car that killed about a dozen people in the movie.

Everything else before/after principle photography is done with a 2nd or 3rd Unit for things such as stunts and to allow time for any CG production and rendering. This is why for some actors, they can be in multiple movies that release all in the same year - because they don't just film one movie/tv show for a few months and they're done for the year.

How could you not remember Sherilyn Fenn and that great body. Love that Pontiac.

[@jamjedi1972]

Carlos Ramirez Yes! She was so damn hot in this movie!

[@Scottocaster6668]

Those legs!! 😯

[@231gnx]

She was soooo sexy-I didn't see a Pontiac in the entire movie!

[@231gnx]

Oh yeah I forgot about the '77 T/A.

I remember being 5 or 6 years old and having to change the channel during that scene because I would have a funny feeling in my plums!

[@Retro_Rich]

Loved her “twin peaks” LOL

[@robcurtiss5926]

I watched this movie so many damn times when I was a kid. Loved that car ! This movie is a classic, that was very different.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

Automan meets Christine meets the Crow meets The Fast and the Furious. All in.

[@Kod044rybnik]

Lost Age Comics You remember Automan, cool! 😎

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

Watched it with my grandma way back.

[@hanniffydinn6019]

Spot on what a magic combination. !

[@johnnyfavorite1194]

Lost Age Comics More like Crass and the Tedious.

[@johnnyfavorite1194]

Hanniffy Dinn So I hate the FATF movies. Why you mad bro?

[@scorpiouk5914]

I had just turned 20 yo when this movie came out in '86. Never saw it in the theater, but it got heavy playing time on HBO in the '87 to '89 time frame. I have never forgotten it and still love it to this day.

[@TheS2K4LIFE]

One of my favorite 80’s movies. Very similar story to the crow

[@joescott778]

The Crow stole a lot from The Wraith. Even the characters Skank and Gutterboy/Funboy.

[@Diggy22]

I used to watch this on TV when I was a kid. When it came to DVD, I jumped on the chance to buy it. Still one of my favorite movies.

[@warbunny13203]

Unless i get amnesia I'll never forget this movie, it's pure high-octane awsomeness, loved it then and will always love it🖒😁👍🖒😁👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@WillCtheMechDrummer]

Murphy and Clarence Boddiker having a beer... LMAO!

[@Techrat3D]

Hey Minty. The movies name is "The Wraith" and not "The WRATH" ;) But since you reminded me of this great movie, could you also do "The Last Starfighter"?

[@clubsport9334]

Techrat3D this nearly made me shoot my head off.

[@Eddie.V]

I heard him say wrath once but the rest of the time I could tell that he re-recorded the pronouncement of wraith.

[@yamatokira54]

Loved The Last Stafighter grabbed it on Blu-ray who knows when. The computer graphics for the time looked really nice. Not so much by todays standards but great for back then. Minty should make a 10 things video about this movie.

[@12butt34]

Came here to find out why there was the obvious "wraith" voice over 😂😂

[@SimonTAMG]

He always pronounces TH as either V or F it is incredibly annoying

[@gregcronquist8008]

Thanks for doing this movie I love it. I had to find it on DVD and add it to my collection. Friends that come over and see it in my collection always ask what is this, they have never seen it but after I play it for them they love it. Keep up the great work 👍

[@jeffscroggins229]

MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE IS BADASS 1 of my favorite movies

[@Mike28625]

The glowing road in the poster is the streak of the wraith car going "light speed" caught in a still image as the characters watch in amazement.

[@onlytrueanonymousfanszzzzzz]

the 80s/ early 90s..what a time

[@ralphharrison6622]

Still my favorite car movie. I'd love to see a prequel, depicting the background of Packard and his minions.

[@astonofmulah5164]

80's sci-fi was weird science...the girls were so hot...and voluptuous....the guys were the coolest of cool....the soundtracks captured our innocence, our angst ... our joy and our plans....I MISS THOSE DAYS

[@MightyMouse1321]

I always loved this flick. Always thought it was a shame it didnt get more exposure than it did thanks for the post and movie had the perfect cast.

[@KiryuBT1995]

I own a copy of The Wraith on DVD. I love the cars, the crashes & the song "Where's The Fire". Worth it.

[@mikelykan.9416]

KiryuBT 1995 and Billy Idol's Rebel Yell.

[@johnharrington2803]

This is one of the greatest movies ever!!! Critics and the general public were super ignorant back then The Wraith is an all time classic not just 80's classic

[@dirgramsey6132]

When I was a kid I tried renting it from Blockbuster and they had to look it up in a book lol

[@moxacaine]

it was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

[@miamiflorida2043]

Yes

[@MrAbelone]

Was a favorite as a child. I had it on a VHS recorded from cable.

[@martinblnd]

Filmed in my home town of Tucson AZ. My uncle and aunt got to work on this film. We were all pretty excited when it came out. Still love this film.

[@ozzymorrison8628]

yes!!! first! i love this movie! 80's lost treasure

[@kabukiwookie]

Yep. It was pretty much a 2-hour long Chrysler commercial. Skank and the Gutter boy.. Skank snorting WD-40 in the 'Cuda is forever etched in my mind...

[@johndavidhernandez8955]

"This shit gots some kick to it". Skank couldn't get real drugs like Charles (AKA Booger)did on Better Off Dead. Still love the Wraith from when it came out I was 8 now 38 they don't make badass movies/music of the 80's

[@Clip.Collector]

Gutterboy: Skank? Who was that guy? Skank: I don't know but he looked pissed off!

[@mysticvirgo9318]

Skank and Gutterboy made the movie decent :) only watch it for them.. they needed more screen time haha

[@donaldseale2700]

I like the little smirk that skank gave, when Quades character told them that they would go to the gas chamber. You could tell that he wanted to try it. Lol

[@Damnationization]

It's called the WRAITH not the WRATH. So it sounds like Rayth.

[@theinfamous4910]

Damnationization thank you

[@billofalltrades1468]

One of my all-time favorite movies! The sound track is awesome!

[@craigrivers82]

I remember this movie! i love it and i just WANT that car! (1981 dodge m4s "PPG turbo interceptor")

[@marcasthomas8285]

This is one of my favorites from the '80s and I Still watch it till this day.

[@shelliecarlson7015]

I love The Wraith! It was quite B, but it was fun to watch. "That Shit's Got Some Kick"!

Because of this movie, Thunder Alley, another overlooked 80`s gem and the beautiful scenery in both movies one of my brothers sold everything he had and flew out to AZ. to live.

The Wraith is freaking awesome, I have this one on DVD, but your right Minty, everytime I ask my friends if they have seen, are want to watch the Wraith, there like never herd of it.

[@Crimson_Strider]

i grew up in this movie. if your a car guy. the turbo interceptor is legend.

[@fuqupal]

Wow! You actually grew up IN that movie? How? Are you 90 minutes old? How can you even be on the interwebz in a three dimensional universe?

[@XeroFailGames]

I remember it AND have the dvd....its the crow with cars

[@MrRacermike1967]

XeroFailGames me too

[@pacman52280]

I agree with you 100% about it being The Crow with cars. I even told Sherrilyn Fenn that when I met her earlier this year. She agreed with me.

[@bradr3541]

You said it so proud like you have the VHS. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kamuelalee]

The Wraith came out nearly 10 years before The Crow. Shouldn't it be the other way round?

[@MrChadsimoneaux]

Well color me interested.
