Hallo,

Hot Rod Gang (1958), (UK title: FURY UNLEASHED)

John Ashley, Jody Fair, Gene Vincent, Russ Bender, Steve Drexel, Henry McCann, Maureen Arthur.

American International quickie about a hot-rodder who wants Vincent's band to earn money to race his car. Vincent's four good numbers with his Blue Caps band save the picture. Eddie Cochran also makes a cameo appearance. Followed by the unintentionally hilarious sequel, Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow.

Vincent is the rocker of "Be-Bop-A-Lula"- fame who was seriously injured in the same 1960 car crash that killed Cochran.
Jerry Capehart, Cochran's co-writer and Lou Kimzey, editor of the hip teen magazine, Dig, also had a hand in this one.

Mit Bart wirkt John Ashley wie der Oberförster.
