Grand Theft Auto
In exchange for being allowed to make his directorial debut in Grand Theft Auto, Ron Howard agreed to take no salary as a director, merely as star and co-screenwriter (with his dad Rance). The plot finds Sam Freeman (Howard) eloping with his heiress girlfriend Paula Powers (Nancy Morgan). Her mob-connected dad Bigby Powers (Barry Cahill) vehemently opposes the marriage, and isn't about to change his mind now that Sam has stolen his Rolls-Royce and sped off to Las Vegas with his daughter in tow. Marion Ross, Howard's Happy Days mom, turns in an offbeat supporting characterization.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Amiable slapstick chase movie with one car crash after another - though many take place off-screen, no doubt to keep down the cost of this low budget comedy, as would be expected with Roger Corman as executive producer.

Like The Game?!?
Well I cant understand how they made a game from this as the car theft is silly. The plot is awful. Wish they would remake the film!!!

Howard to direct Lauda race movie
- WENN Newsdesk
- 22 Jun 2011
Ron Howard has signed on to turn race ace Niki Lauda's track battle with driver James Hunt into a major new movie. The director is in the driving seat for Rush, which will chronicle Formula 1 icon Lauda's comeback, six weeks after a crash left him with severe burn injuries, for a race against his rival. Howard will reportedly replace Paul Greengrass, who stepped down from the project. The moviemaker isn't new to racing films - his directorial debut was 1977's Grand Theft Auto. Read more
