Not really my kind of film, but this looks like a nice, self-contained article - if a little short. Happy to offer a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:40, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Retrospectively, the film has attracted a cult following." According to one of its stars - this should probably be attributed to him, unless you have a third-party source.

Although Rifkin is kinda of a cult director, I agree with your point. Fixed.

There's a little too much repetition of "critics", "criticize" and similar in the second paragraph of the lead.

Replaced critics with journalists.

Do you have a reference for the cast list?

The cast list was taken from the film credits, which is a primary source. I can explicitly cite the film credits if it's really an issue.

"without clearance and stunt drivers filling in for actors Charlie Sheen and Henry Rollins" Without stunt drivers or with them?

Should be clearer now.

""attention-hungry, gung-hop" cop" Could you check that quote?

Paraphrased and replaced with attention-seeking.

"but criticized the love story due to the film's limited scope" What does this mean?

Should be clearer now.

"dismiss her character" What does this mean?

Replaced with "does not contribute to her characterization".

"The Austin Chronicle agreed" and "The publication concluded that": Could you perhaps attribute this to the particular critic rather than the publication?

Done

"always receives mails" Received? Also, why mails?

Fixed

This looks really nice on a first read-through. Please double-check my edits. I'll be back for a closer look at a few things soon. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:13, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review, really appreciated. I also double-checked your copy-edits and I'm very happy with them. I think I haved fixed all the issues you brought up and left some comments above. Please let me know what you think. --Niwi3 (talk) 20:55, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok; images look good. The film gets a passing mention on the first page of this article, which I think would be a nice citation to add. Three things jump out: 1) It's apparently a remake, which isn't mentioned in this article? 2) A link to road film would be a nice addition; and 3) You could add the tagline with a reference to the article. There's also a useful little write-up about the film here - perhaps you could draw a few things from that? Josh Milburn (talk) 09:05, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Remake of what? Perhaps The Chase (1991 film)? I wouldn't take the author's words for granted because Rifkin did not say the film was a remake when he conceived it. It's certainly a vague coincidence because the film has a very generic title, and the fact that the source does not determine an original film makes it even more questionable. I would ignore it unless we find another source. However, I added a few other bits that I thought were important. Thank you for the new sources, really appreciated. --Niwi3 (talk) 11:48, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. Without the author specifying what it's a remake of, I don't think there's much we can do with the information. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:51, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very happy with your responses above, and I think the article is looking very good. I'm happy to promote. Great working with you - and sorry you had to wait so long for a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:03, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thank you for your time. --Niwi3 (talk) 15:22, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
