Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
Down-on-their-luck racers Larry and Deke steal from a supermarket manager to buy a car that will help them advance their racing chances. Their escape does not go as planned when Larry's one-night stand, Mary, tags along for the ride.
Critics Sentiment
The trio collides with freight train emerging from walnut grove
Larry demeans Mary with increasingly offensive dialogue
The film drops sharply during the misogynistic dialogue sequences before recovering for the helicopter pursuit climax
Critics praised Dirty Mary Crazy Larry as superior car chase filmmaking with authentic stunts and memorable performances, particularly Vic Morrow's scene-stealing sheriff. However, the film was consistently criticized for its offensive dialogue, weak character development, and Susan George's poor performance, creating a mixed reception that appreciated the technical craft while condemning the writing.
