Product Description: A forgotten action gem about a young man (Sheen) who faces off against the sinister sheriff (Morrow) who killed his brother. Featuring the most daring and amazing car chases this side of Bullitt, The California Kid burns rubber with a dynamite cast, including Academy Award nominee Nick Nolte. Vic Morrow turns in one of his finest performances as the twisted sheriff, a man with nasty habits that must be seen to be believed. A wonderful, action-packed film, filled with exotic antique cars and beautiful mountain vistas.
Review of California Kid As a car nut, I've always read about the flamed 34 Ford coupe in this movie. The car is an icon in the hot rod world. I had never seen the movie, it's not in the video stores and it never runs on TV. Since it was inexpensive, I decided to buy it. It was a thrill to see the car at last. The movie wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's really dated but was enjoyable.
Tha California Kid Good fun movie...acting was good,,,setting was great with great storyline...No bad language was a plus
california kid I like this moie very much it make a lot of sence in what he was trying to do.it was exting to watch.
"The California Kid" will excite viewers from all 50 states and beyond! "The California Kid" stars a young Martin Sheen, a young Nick Nolte, and the ever-popular, late actor, Vic Morrow. When Sheen arrives in a well-known speed trap called Clarksberg, its sheriff, Morrow, becomes suspicious and nervous. While Sheen goes about his business quietly, the sheriff becomes increasingly bothered by the stranger who drives a fast, awesome machine dubbed "The California Kid." The inevitable showdown at the movie's conclusion is a winner, and so is this film. Rent it or buy your own copy today; you'll be glad you did. Jean A., CA
One of the better TV movies. Before he played the president, Martin Sheen did his best James Dean imitation in this story. Kind of predictable at times, but good entertainment.
