it occur to me that some of the film that have be ban during the course of cinema history be actually very important and very good film . i would like to argue that instead of ban challenge and controversial movie the censor should consider ban film that be so bad that they pose a threat to your iq and your sanity . if they be to do so one of the first film to be quickly hide away would undoubtedly be stroker ace . this film be awful with a capital a. it be the bad film burt reynolds ever star in . quite a feat for for a man with cannonball run ii and cop and a half and rent a cop on his cv . the wafer thin story introduces u to successful stock car racer stroker ace ( reynolds ) and a man who love fast car and fast woman . he get stick in a demeaning contract with crooked promoter clyde torkle ( ned beatty ) . the contract require him to do some humiliate promotional work for a new chain of fast food restaurant and such a dress up a a giant chicken . throw into the mix be lug ( jim nabors ) and ace dim witted pal and and pembrook feeney ( loni anderson ) and a bimbo with a brain fractionally small than a pea who be woo by ace . hal needham and the director of this low grade garbage and be formerly a stuntman and he make numerous film that rely on his expertise in stag spectacular stunt and car chase or race . some of these film be ok and like hooper and stunt unlimited and but with stroker ace he reach a career nadir . the character be so stupid that you actually feel pity for the actor play them . anderson especially be saddle with such a dumb role that it make you grind your teeth with despair . the humour be weak and infantile throughout and and the stunt and race sequence be unremarkable . even the out take during the closing credit ( which can be find in all the reynolds needham collaboration ) be generally unfunny and which give the impression that maybe the film wasn not much fun to make . stroker ace be a stinker of considerable magnitude .
