Ok American Graffitti & Hollywood Knight what else

How about "High Scool Caesar"? Thats another classic 50's B-movie.

 

That movie was called "FJ Holden", based around Sydney, Australia and featured a FJ Holden Sedan (not a coupe)

A bit of a cult classic for Ozzy's.

 

Set in the Western suburbs of Sydney in the late 70's

I did work on the FJ's used in the movie, and have photos somewhere.
A mate was at the filming of the late night street racing at Bricky's, he has had the BAD 781 numberplates off the Yellow FJ for many years. That have been on a couple of his cars.

Will post photos if anyone is interested

 

How about The Hot Rod Girl , 2 lane Black top , Hot Rod the TV movie great Willys race car movie with lots of old car racing !

 

Please post the pics if you can find them!! The movie is avaliable again, I picked up a copy from JB HiFi for $10, what a classic, along with 'Midnught Spares' great movies.
Oh yeah, Pubity Blues is avaliable again if your in to pannelvans!
Doc.

 

ok you take that back right now

 

Did someone say 'Smokey and the Bandit' Not a Hotrod script but good car movie."Soon as I get home, first thing I'm gonna do is punch yo mamma in da mouth! "

 

with outa doubt one of my favorites and kinda a OT movie (except Hoppers 56 f-100) is KING OF THE MOUNTIAN with dennis hopper,harry hamiln,debra Van Valkenberg.......street racing Mulholland oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about Running on Empty.
A guy in Sydney has owned nearly all the star cars out of that movie.
He still has the 57, is registered and driven
The remains of the "Rammer" a chopped 53 Chevy 4 door is resting in his yard awaiting a rebuild.

Have photos of those as well.

And Chain Reaction, with the custom Holden step side. And a selection of shots of other custom cars and vans from the time it was made

 

To Please A Lady, Hot Rod, World's Fastest Indian, Two Lane Blacktop, yada, yada, yada.

 

That poster is the shit!! I wonder it anyone sells a repro of it? I'd love to have one in my garage/hideout/magic palace...

 

Anybody mention Redline 7000 with James Caan?

 

How about HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL? Might be ot, but the TV series THE ROCKFORD FILES has some killer cars in background shots. Also, the opening credits to HOMICIDE, LIFE ON THE STREETS shows a '56 Victoria turning the corner on a Baltimore street. There's also a customized, primered '58 Ford Custom 300 in one episode. Many other older TV shows are loaded with neat old cars, but I'm sure you guys knew that already...just thought it was worth mentioning.

 

Dude that movie was great!!! Do you have a copy on DVD?

Of course Hollywierd had to make some love story outta it.

 

"I lost my hat daddy." ---"I hope your goddamn head was in there, junior". Funny ass shit!

 

yeah its around on DVD........if ya have trouble finding it PM me......try EBAY

 

HAHAHA! Here's one for ya. The Big Wheel starring a VERY young Mickey Rooney. Back when they ran open wheel model T's on the dirt. Great flick.

 

I one I liked best was

"Debbie does a dog in a Dodge "

"Hometown USA" Max Bauer Production-----About 1974---Take off from AG!!!

 

I have been looking for running on empty, I have a VHS copy but no video player! It was avaliable a few years ago, I would check out e-bay.
I would love to see some pics of your mates collection if he will let you, some Aussy history right there! I swear Denis Kilner used to own the 'rammer' he had a 53 the same as that only without the roo bar.
My brother in law is a mad keen fan of the 57, I know he would kill for some detail pics under the hood and inside, he is building a 1/12 scale model of it. Can you tell me what cox box and diff is in it please?
Cheers,
Doc.

 

How about some that weren't all cars but had some in them and were good and/or funny: "Peggy Sue Got Married", "Mischief" (NICE bedroom scene!
/"I'll just put it in a little bit"), "Rebel Without a Cause" (James Dean) and "Used Cars" (very funny) with Kirk Russell. Tom

 

i feel kinda queer for this one, but "cry-baby" has some cool visuals. non hot rod but great gearhead movie is "dust to glory" about the baja 1000. we watched it and went to mexico for a week to see the race in person. movie was that good.

 

Hey, I hate NASCAR but I actually like "Days of Thunder"! It's so bad and has so many corny lines and phrases, it's fun to watch, and after all, that's the entire point of movies.....being fun to watch. It's not a documentary or actual historic record and shouldn't be treated as such. Just fun. I've always been tempted to paint generic "CITY CHEVROLET" on one of my racecars.

 

Dont know how well this fits but there were some nice cars in Dazed and Confused. If Im out of lie please slap me.

 

That one chick in Cry baby was F-UGLY!
