x151 THE WRAITH (8/01/98)

MOVIE
The Wraith. It's the live action movie of that cartoon of that guy that could turn into a car, only not as good. The one features, in a way, Charlie Sheen. They say he's the star of this, but he only gets maybe 10 mins of screen time. The rest of the time, he is in the form of the car. Think of this as the basis of "Viper", but they actually seem to pull it off just a little bit worse. Alexander Bell's great nephew Packard is the leader of a rag tag gang that keeps the local burger joint in line. They kill Sheen before he looks like Sheen. Sheen comes back looking like Sheen and starts killing them by parking in front of them and letting them ram him. He also steals their eyes and something called a soul, although I don't really think those things exist. Cousin Eddie seems to have done well for himself since he is now the inept town sheriff. In the end, the dead ghost guy gets the girl and Nerdy Nerdson ends up with a car that he will never ever be able to pay mechanic fees for if it ever breaks down.
