Hi all,
I'm trying to think of the name of a movie i saw a few years back. its late '70's/early '80's, and its American. Its about a guy that owns and street races a flat black '55/6 chevy. i've only seen the first 20 or so minutes of it, and theres pretty much no talking at all in that time. from what i saw the story started with this guy and his mate run a few street races, then decide to go interstate. they pick up a young chick on the way thats hitch hiking. On the cover of the video/dvd theres a pic of the three of them standing in front of the chev. Anyone who's seen this movie will know the one. Can anyone tell me what its called?? cheers  |

Monty don't wast your time. It would have to be one of the worse films i have ever seen. Mind you i do have it in my DVD collection though. Another one you might like is called hot rod, its about a guy who races a Willy's against the town baddie.

lol i don't want to watch it for its riveting plot BJ
its about the cars and the music. a couple of the boys might be getting together and watching some old-school car flicks, like american graffiti. we re-watched running on empty last week, now theres a crap plot lol.... |

Yeah, I was about to say, ROE has a terrible plot, and terrible acting... *and* they kill a GTHO Phaker.
The 57 Chev however was apparently hard as nails... got for a high 8second pass!

Route 66 is a good one. The guy has a 57, smashs it, repairs it, smashs it again, then at the end of the movie he drives off in a GTO?? I think, don't quote me on it. It was 15 year ago when i saw it.

Be sure to check out Fast and the Furious. The cars are hardcore, and Vin Diesel's acting deserves a Grammy.

Even though Metal Skin had minimal car content, I loved the Charger vs Oldsmobile AUSCAR (?) dogfight.
And the Torana with the "SEX" plates ("You're history, psycho!") And the "DEATH" Monaro

where are all the dodgy recent movies, so many old car movies, even with bad plots.
not enough current ones!

Hmmm...
We should make a dodgy E-Series movie! A fictional tale based on true events (or similar). Doesn't need to be well structured. You guys can figure out the plot, I'm going to bed. |
