Used Cars

Used Cars (1980) is an American comedy directed by Robert Zemeckis — watch it online on iFILM. Kurt Russell stars as Rudy Russo, a fast-talking used-car salesman at a run-down lot who can sell a rusted wreck with a straight face and a handshake.

When the lot's aging owner is killed by his own brother Roy — who wants the land and the business — Rudy has two problems at once. The lot is all he has. And he needs serious money for a state senate campaign he's been quietly planning. Keeping the operation alive means outwitting Roy, staging increasingly absurd stunts to draw customers, and riding the chaos to the finish line.

Zemeckis co-wrote the script with Bob Gale, three years before the two would team up on Back to the Future. The same anarchic energy is here in full force. Stream Used Cars (1980) on iFILM.
