This movie essentially begins with a dangerous criminal known simply as "Stoneface" (Ray Sharkey) stealing a briefcase full of valuable merchandise and attempting to outrun the other crooks who are chasing him. One thing leads to another but eventually all of the criminals are caught by the police. However, just prior to being apprehended, Stoneface stows the briefcase into a black Rolls Royce which has been parked at a service garage pending the installation of a new stereo system. The scene then shifts to two unambitious men named "Larry Page" (Corey Feldman) and his cousin "Steve" (Zach Galligan) who work at this garage and decide to take the car to Palm Springs over the weekend so that Larry can meet a popular swimsuit model he fantasizes about named "April Summer" (Rowanne Brewer). Likewise, unknown to either Larry or Steve, a good friend of theirs by the name of "Lucille Johnson" (Julie McCullough) has also entered this same beauty pageant in Palm Springs. Unfortunately, on the way there, her taxi is hijacked by Stoneface, who then orders the driver to follow the black Rolls Royce--all the way from Los Angeles to Palm Springs. What Stoneface doesn't realize, however, is that he is being followed by two LAPD detectives named "Melvin" (Steve Vinovich) and "Ed" (Ivory Ocean) who are intent on arresting him and recovering whatever merchandise is in the briefcase. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, despite the presence of a couple of notable actors like Corey Feldman and Zach Galligan, this film lacked the necessary humor to really make much of an impression on me. Admittedly, it does have several beautiful actresses like Brioni Farrell (as "Melanie"), Kristine Rose ("Tina"), Amy Rochelle ("Yvette") and the aforementioned Julie McCullough and Rowanne Brewer to brighten the scenery. Unfortunately, none of them were capable of transforming this rather dull film into something really remarkable, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
