CHRISTOPHER JONES IN 'MAD DOG TIME'

Christopher Jones in MAD DOG TIME

What makes this killer car different is its a convertible, making it easy to see that there is no driver... Cops or angry motorists get perturbed by the mere site of it, trying to take it down, only to CRASH!, the name of the movie, into burning, roadside flames: Here's a Cult Film Freak Review of this Charles Band exploitation piece...
