Entry No# 07 The Van

A Van. And Danny DeVito. What more could you possibly want from a movie? I mean, how many times have you sat watching a movie and thought to yourself, 'You know - these special effects are astounding, and the complex emotional conflict inherent in the storyline is like no other - but it's missing two things. Danny DeVito....and a van!'

Not that you'd know it from the bad box art but 'The Van' is a softcore romp movie in the screwball 70's style, and barely even features Mr DeVito.. certainly not enough to warrant the massive floating head treatment for the artwork anyway...love his expression, it sort of says 'sorry..I'm not really in this movie..'

IMDB Synopsis: Bobby is a shy Los Angeles teenager who buys a sleek chevy van for himself to impress, pick up, and seduce various teenage girls to spruce up his dull life while trying to get money by drag racing other vans to finance operating it.

This film was made a year or so before Danny's star turn in Taxi - so it's obvious why they used him to promote it.. but man, it's ugly.

And no, he doesn't play 'Bobby.' That role went to the future music editor for 'Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater', Stuart Goetz.



Wow - that is kinda one cool van.. I can only assume Danny DeVito was hidden in the trunk though...Seen the movie? Know something about it? Drop a comment below.
