The film is still relatively obscure and hard to find, as there has never been any official VHS or DVD release. PlotTwo West Virginia brothers quit their jobs as coal miners in order to make their fortune from armed robbery. Cast
ReceptionLegacyDespite a limited theatrical run and no subsequent VHS or DVD releases, The Gravy Train has still become somewhat of a cult film. David Gordon Green has cited it as one of his five favorite films of all time,[2] as a major influence on his film Pineapple Express (2008), and as "the funniest movie ever made".[3] Green also screened the film in a film series he curated at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.[4] Quentin Tarantino screened the film at his 2nd QT-Fest in 1998, and again in 2006 at his Best of QT-Fest.[5]References1. ^{{cite web|work=The New York Times|authorlink=Nora Sayre|title=MOVIE REVIEW Gravy Train (1974) Screen: 'Gravy Train,' American Style--Almost|first=Nora|last=Sayre|date=June 17, 1974|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=950DE1DD123DE73ABC4F52DFB066838F669EDE}} 2. ^http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/interview-pineapple-express-director-david-gordon-green/ 3. ^http://www.avclub.com/article/david-gordon-green-14290 4. ^http://www.nysun.com/arts/david-gordon-green-at-bam/81866/ 5. ^http://wiki.tarantino.info/index.php/Best_of_QT_Fest External links
