O/T Other car movies that really got you REVVED UP.

the Vanishing point just started a few minutes ago on FMC( fox movie channel) on satelite, 5 central 6 eastern.




channel 258 on direct TV

 

ive seen the big wheel so many times i cant watch it anymore.
i also like heart like a wheel(and i dont even like drag racing)
tucker is inspirational also.
hot rod girl blows , but theres some sweet cars in it.

 

Hey, now what about LeMans, with Steve McQueen? Alright, it's not hotrods - but he just went on a bender, got a ton of amazing cars, rented the track and filmed for months.

No real story, just lots of great footage of cars going really fast...

 

GREASE

 

Watch and see how many times he passes himself going the other way in Vanishing Point. Also notice you keep seeing the same extra cars used over and over in the film.

Are you out there Kowalski...

 

Yeah, I've got Grease in my collection too.

Wanna do Grease trivia? I can go as long as we did on American Graffiti.

 

I didn't see it mentioned here, but Return To Macon County is a pretty sweet movie. Some of the stuff is a little far fetched, but it's still fun to watch. The chase scene in Bullit is also pretty sweet.

my favorites are : Ghost of drag strip hollow,hot rod gang,thunder road,road warrior.

 

when my daughter was a toddler

and I was between jobs

I had a copy of Hot Rod To Hell,

we watched that movie together

almost every morning for two months.

I may have warped her little mind.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

 

Yep, I've got that one too. Funny but entertaining early Grand Prix racing scenes in the beginning. Hard to believe Ian Flemming went from James Bond to CCBB.

 

You got any of the old
Whacky Races cartoons?
Was that Paul Lynn's voice for the bad guy.
I remember one racer was a dragster.

 

Duel
Or Junkman, and the 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds rock (original original, with the original engine noises, and original Hoyt Axton music)
also, just available is Gone in 60 seconds 2 (the movie Haliki died in while filming) looks like it could have been good, but the annoying pre-programmed music gets old. on the same disc is Deadline AutoTheft. pretty much gone in 60 seconds with Hoyt Axton as the sherriff. gotta love any movie where the director actor star owned almost all of the cars in it

 

Flubber
The Blob
The Great Race

 

i remember roadhouse 66,didint they drag a tbird out of the junkyard and race some town bullie?? its been years since i seen it,,,

 

The Swinger with Anne Margarette.
The final chase scene with the broad on
the motocyle was cool.
One of those rides was the Ralph Malph truck.

 

Way tooo many , but i gotta say Corvette summer, The whole started with the emblem, how many of us have started a project with nothing more than one lousy piece and a gleem in your eye? There was also a CHEESY movie called Moonshine Highway , eluding to the origins of moonshine runners and Nascar also. The Wraith with charlie sheen , gotta watch that just for clint howards hair, COBRA! who didnt cringe when they trashed that merc,

 

Christine and American Graffiti were ones that really influenced me. later plmczy

 

thunder road FAGGOTS ...if you havent seen this,then you need to re-CHECK yer CUFFS

 

Bullitt.

 

Did I mention Bullitt?

 

Has anyone else seen Bullitt?

 

If the Mustang & Charger had been Flathead & Hemi powered, the movie would've been perfect...
