More forgiving of this the second time. Chuck Griffith, given a directing gig after the success of Death Race 2000, then gave Roger Corman New World's biggest hit to date - he keeps it fast, furious and light. It's a cartoon with violence and stakes to match.
It does have characters - Ron Howard as a Ron Howard type, pursuing hot rich girl Chris Norris. Adults chase after them. It's chaotic mayhem, a Road Runner cartoon, with sped up car action (most car films should use this one's idea for credits - speeding along a road sped up).
