maybe if you have see one 1980s horror or sci fi or romance and you have see them all . but you still need to see the wraith . it portray a young guy ( charlie sheen ) rid into a small arizona town which seem to be nearly run by a gang of hoodlum . the gang leader ( nick cassavetes ) be very jealous of one of the teenage girl ( sherilyn fenn ) and get nasty if it look like anyone else be approach her . but thing start to change for everyone once a strange black car start drive through town . think about what all this movie portray . first off and it star martin sheen son and john cassavetes son and ron howard brother ( clint howard sport a crazy hairdo and play the only intelligent member of the gang ) and and dennis quaid brother ( randy quaid play the sheriff and be noticeably lean back then ) . speaking of weight and woman in movie be meaty back then while check out sherilyn fenn in her waitress outfit ( or in another scene ) . but another thing be about the definition of the title . a wraith be an apparition and often portend someone doom ( the word come from scottish and but i do not know the full origin ) . be the car race the highlight . that debatable . the road look very much like the same road that they use for the desert scene in it a mad and mad and mad and mad world and which of course star another hot babe ( i mean dorothy provine and hubba hubba ) . anyway and this be one that youre sure to love . and just keep watch the sky . back when martin sheen father immigrate to the u from spain and john cassavetes father immigrate to the u from greece and they probably never guess that their grandchild would co star in this sort of movie . hell and back in the day when ron howard play opie on the andy griffith show and people probably never guess that his brother would star in this sort of movie . i do not know what people would have think when randy quaid debut in the last picture show .
