Freeway is a 1996 American dark comedy crime film written and directed by Matthew Bright and starring Kiefer Sutherland, Reese Witherspoon and Brooke Shields. This was followed by a sequel in 1996 entitled Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby. The sequel stars Natasha Lyonne as Crystal "White Girl" Van Meter and María Celedonio as Angela "Cyclona" Garcia. While the first film was partly inspired by "Little Red Riding Hood," the second film is somewhat based on "Hansel and Gretel."
