Ever wonder how the letters "P-U" came to be synonymous with something that stinks? Consider this film, which is "pretty unbearable." Made in the early 1980s, before AIDS made competitive sexual conquests seem less than attractive, the film deals with a trio of losers who rent a house on the southern California beach, then hire a young player to teach them how to get girls.

Paul Bartel's 1975 cheap-o satire about a futuristic international sport--an anything-goes car race where drivers score points for hitting pedestrians--stars David Carradine as a hero behind the wheel and Sylvester Stallone as his nemesis.
