The Great Texas Dynamite Chase is a 1976 American crime comedy film directed by Michael Pressman in his directorial debut.

Production

Producer David Irving and director Michael Pressmen succeeded in getting a distribution guarantee from Roger Corman at New World Pictures which helped them raise the $200,000 budget. "He wanted a R rated film with lots of sex and violence so we had to go along with that," said Irving.

Filming took place in 1976. At one stage the title was Dynamite Women.

Director Michael Pressman recalled Jennings "was a favorite of Roger Corman’s". He said she was “a very complicated lady, [who] appeared to be in a lot of emotional turmoil... she was going through a lot personally but, basically, she was up for the fun of making a movie.”

Jennings was injured while filming a minor stunt and the movie had to be shut down for two weeks. She relied on painkillers to get through the rest of the film.

The director, producer and writer all knew each other from Cal Arts in Valencia. Pressman said the film "is not me. Perhaps the angle, bent and humour is but I want to make more personal films. I’m semi-uncomfortable with the violence in my film. It’s a mistake but I did it out of insecurity, to touch all the bases... Hollywood is a tough place that’s going through a strong exploitation trend and I needed to get into the arena."
