"Listen, anything you got to say about your mother in-law, you don't have to explain to me. You know what I mean? Like if she were the star of a real crummy horror movie, I'd believe it." – Lennie Pike

Why watch this? It certainly IS madness... wonderful, calamity-filled comedy by the industry's comedic heavyweights.

Plot Summary: At the scene of an auto accident, escaped convict, Smiley Grogan, with his last breath, reveals to a group of witnesses that there's $350,000 buried underneath the "big W" in Santa Rosita State Park. This starts a madcap race to the park (several hundred miles away) by four desperate packs of money-grubbers, the likes the world has never seen. By car, plane, truck, these lunatics will do ANYTHING to get there first and nab the cash. All this attracts the attention of Police Captain T. G. Culpepper who is literally days from retiring.

Dad's Preview: Why all the insanity? That's easy - it's all about money, an induced green-fever, if you will. This flick marks a pinnacle of stunt-filled comedy, and it is a joy to watch each veteran comedian scheme to outwit, out-distance, and out-last the others. It is truly an adventurous spectacle to behold, but you might want to take a mild sedative beforehand.
