Rebel Highway was a revival of American International Pictures created and produced by Lou Arkoff, the son of Samuel Z. Arkoff, Debra Hill and Willie Kutner for the Showtime network in 1994. The concept was a 10-week series of 1950s “drive-in classic” B-movies remade “with a ’90s edge”.
Over the next ten weeks, Jeff and Cheryl will be going over each of the made-for-cable TV movies that make up the Rebel Highway series.
