Directed by David Cronenberg • 1979 • Canada
Starring William Smith, Claudia Jennings, John Saxon

A rare non-horror outing from David Cronenberg, FAST COMPANY may be far removed from his famously fleshy freakouts, but this crackerjack car-racing thriller is a fast and fun joyride directed with his usual meticulous craftsmanship (and hardcore auteurists may even be able to make some connections to his future CRASH). When his unscrupulous corporate sponsor unceremoniously drops him, aging drag-car racer Lonnie “Lucky Man” Johnson (William Smith) sets out to get even by stealing his vehicle back and proving he’s still a champ. Exploitation icon Claudia Jennings costars in her final film before her untimely death.
