I figured it had to do with that girl, and I figured the sheriff was in on it, so I wasn't suprized, but I didn't think she would end up being his wife. I also didn't think Randy Quaid would be the main protagonist, just a helper, I thought the girl would be the main protagonist.
I do think the ending was a little too convenient. They are all banged up and they have no car, and they have no real way to explain why their car is destroyed, or why the sheriff is dead, but oh look there's a MN sign so they're all of a sudden safe and home? It's a little too convenient that they end up being right by the border. Plus, they still have to find a way home, in the cold, while banged up. Do they live right at the border or what?
I did really like this film though, despite the ending. It really kept my interest. I still give it a 10, and I don't give away too many 10s -

its a great straight to video flick no doubt but what in gods name was the director thinking about when he filmed that horrible ending. the whole movie was so exciting and then bam! luckily its good enough to own even with the horrible ending.

if you literally mean the final shot of em walkin away and we're supposed to think theyre just okay in the end then yeah, it seemed a little rushed, but if you mean just how it was all resolved. I kinda liked it, like how they had the story about C.J's scar(josh hammond looks sexy all scarred up) and the blood on the Harvard jacket, was kinda cool cos it was (at least i thought)showin how his football career was ruined all over one night.
But i was kinda pissed that it came to be the jock boy who was the big injury concern, CJ got hit by a friggin car!He was pinned to a wall, strung up in a tree, and he was just walkin around like, oh, i have scratch or two on my face, ho hum. Plus he lost like, every single layer he had, he shoulda been damned freezin!!Jeez, i guess i did kinda hate the endin. Go figurel

Very dissapointing, yeah. I was hoping to have a supernatural reason for the chase. That it was a 'car from Hell' movie. I mean, the caddy kept appearing AHEAD of them, after they had left it behind. After the caddy hit the cow and went off the road, it didn't look like it would be moving again, yet they had a scene as if the car had 'woke up' and roared. Then it shows up silently, went it shouldn't even be able to move. I was thinking also, that Quaid was dead, you know, like the ;ghostly hitch-hiker' in urban legends, and that he was there to protect the boys. Maybe the demon car had killed him years ago, and he was there to save the boys from his fate.
I think the movie I was imaging as I watched it was better than the one I actually saw. -

I agree. Dead End was very good. I thought this one was good too. The Car and Christine were also great movies. I think I'll buy this one for my collection.
Had a lot of "on the edge of your seat" moments which I like.

I watched the movie in TV. I found it while zapping. It really caught me but when it finished Very bad very, very bad (Plot level)
With that end there are a lot of unsolved questions, like- How they wrote that on the wind shield, that can't be deleted
- How the car recover from the fall? Maybe, the cadillac stills runs after the end
- "I hit the guy with the jacket, but instead of killing I hang him with deers.. duh very clever"
- And more that can be answered with sme logic, but not the plot.
If you forget the end, one of the best movies jeje

Cheap ending. Saab car goes 110 mph after over heating and quick fix which got cut short. 57 Caddy doing a long fall off a cliff or mountain side. Wasn
t that cold and aninch of snow doesnt kill power. To many holes in this movie. -

I agree, come on, when they saw those deers tied to those trees, I thought "man this is gonna be wicked!!"
It's a shame:(

I think the reason for the whole chase wasn't that exciting, but, first of all, it makes sense, and second how many of you thought this could be the reason ? I'm sure not many, so this reason was a good choice after all.
Anyway, I liked the movie a lot. The atmosphere was great, scenery was good, acting was very good. A very well executed movie. I really think it's underrated
