Rating:
Michael_Schultz directed this kinetic, hyperventilating comedy (scripted by Joel_Schumacher) concerning the crazed events that go on within a single 10-hour period at a Los Angeles car wash. The cast of colorful car-wash employees includes Lonnie (Ivan_Dixon), an ex-con; Duane (Bill_Duke), a militant black activist; and Lindy (Antonio_Fargas), an obnoxious homosexual. Sully_Boyar plays Mr. B, the frazzled car-wash owner who has to deal with his screwball employees along with his over-educated slip of a son, Irwin (Richard_Brestoff), who quotes Mao and wants to radicalize the workers. Also along for the wash and wax are Miss Beverly Hills (Lauren_Jones), with a wild assortment of wigs; Marsha (Melanie_Mayron), the distracted car wash secretary; a mad bomber (Prof._Irwin_Corey), who is terrorizing the neighborhood; and Daddy Rich (Richard_Pryor), the founder of the Church of Divine Economic Spirituality, who sports a gold limousine. Danny de Vito, Brooke Adams and others were originally in the cast but their scenes were ultimately deleted. Paul Brenner, Rovi
