Greased Lightning
Action & Adventure • PG • Directed by: Michael Schultz • 96 minutes
Superstar Richard Pryor ("Uptown Saturday Night," "Stir Crazy") is Wendell Scott, a top stock car racer, in this action-filled biopic with a comic twist. Scott's triumph over racism to become the first black professional racing-car driver is well told by director Michael Schultz ("Cooley High," "Which Way is Up?"). Also stars Emmy-winner Beau Bridges ("The Fabulous Baker Boys," "Without Warning: The James Brady Story") and legendary action heroine Pam Grier ("Ghosts of Mars," "Jackie Brown"). Action-packed entertainment for the whole family!
