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

Rating: - Awful Acting But Great Action Saves This Movie
This is one of my favorite movies. The acting and dialogue is laughably bad but the action and chase scenes are top-notch and make the entire movie worth watching.
I might be biased because the '69 Dodge Charger R/T is my all-time favorite car.
Rating:  - Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
Shipped fast and packaged well, we have not watched it yet. We haven't seen it since it first came out and my husband (boyfriend at the time) owned a camaro, so he loved it!
Rating: - Great 70's B-movie
I know this movie may not appeal to a lot of todays movie goers..it may not be as action packed or as "slick" ( meaning CGI special effects ) as they are used to..this is just an entertaining movie made on a low budget..with real stuntmen and women doing fantastic stunts..take the helicopter chase scene..look how low that copter gets when it's chasing the 69 charger..unbelievable..that's great stuff..anyway..that's just my opinion..I highly recommend this movie..I'm not saying it's for everyone..but ...

Rating: - Memories
I grew up in the town where the store was robbed---I used to shop there all the time. It was the old Save Mart on Stockton street in Sonora, CA. I loved the chases and crashes, and at 14 years old, the steamy intrigue between the lead characters. It prepped me for another chase movie that came out 2 years later, which I went to go see in the only theatre in Sonora, CA---the Uptown Theatre.
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.
