I know it's been talked about a lot here lately but this great movie is on Speed this weekend (Saturday night in my area). A lot of great cars in this one so get the Tivos going!!

Turk, Turk... did you come?
Absolute all time favorite movie here!
Anyone know whatever happed to Jake with the '66 that had the Tubbys Drive In website with clips and everything?

Mike, thanks for posting that info. I have been wanting to see that movie again, for a long time.

They cut so much out on the Speed version that I just can't watch it. It's my favorite all time car movie. If you really want to enjoy it, find a rental copy or buy a copy for yourself. It's worth it.

I know, it's too bad they have to cut it up like that, but it's the best I could do. The last time I saw it was on Showtime or Cinemax so it was uncut. I can here Fran Drescher's voice now....

Its set to record on my DVR :thumbsup:

who is jimmy shine is that based off a real character such as jimmy shine at socal like his dad or something? or the character that tony danza plays are any of these characters real?

I love that movie.

It was my first "R" rated movie. :thumbsup: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

I bought 4 brand new copies on dvd about 6 mos to a year ago at Circuit City for 9.99 each. Seemed like a great deal and makes an excellent stocking stuffer! Love that movie! 64elkynss

Tony Nancy is a real person, and Surf Sam the dj as well, I think the rest are made up. Whre is my puffer?

Have had that movie for years now and watch it quite often! It's a favorite around here!

Where else can you find a one armed violinist? ;)

Did anyone else realize that the yellow 57 was "Project X" from PHR? Tony Danza missed a shift when he was racing the Cobra, winged the motor, broke the crank, and sent the balancer through the radiator. If you watch when they race there's a huge puff of smoke at the end and then they cut away. That's what happened. PHR did an article on Project X through the years and they mentioned that.

Awesome movie.:thumbsup: I bought it on DVD about 3-4 years ago...When it FINALLY came out.....:hurray:

I like the bumbling cop. *cop drinks puch that was pee'd in* "Does taste like it has a little WANG in it".....:D

Also after towing Turks El camino he ask, "So Newbomb, how's tha El Camino"?

I've had that taste in my mouth before ~ classic line! :yes:

Love that movie. I'll be looking for it again. The grey El Camino is one of my all time favorite movie cars.

I just posted a similar post on my other favorite site, "Z28.com" about this movie tonight. Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea it was on tonight. The cheese dip is already made. :beers:

I didn't know it was on tonight and rented it today. Got it at Hollywood Video.

I'd bet with a few kind words a refund would be in order.:)

What the video and forget about it on TV. Nothing cut on the video like the TV version.

Amazon.com has the dvd for $9.99 for those who gotta have it!

Good point on the unedited version. I've seen it both ways and prefer the unedited but I'm watching it with my 8 year-old future hot-rodder son, so the edited is just right for this occasion.

is that how it blew up?? does any one have any info on projectX. i know PHR redid it recently but i want some old info on it

They fixed that the next day to continue shooting the movie. That car has had so many motor/transmision combinations in it it's not funny. Haven't heard anything about it recently, though.

I still have most of the mags that covered project-X and the thought passed my mind, but I wasn't sure. Good Info.

I'm not familar with the beer in the short round bottles. All I can think of is Olympia. Does anyone know what this is in this movie. I can't believe how good aluminum slots look to me again. That's what my Chevelle had when I bought it 21 years ago.

the movie was maid in 1980 and is saposta take place in the late 60s. also the short round bottles are called STUBIES, not sure what brand off beer it is though, may scheelp or what every

who is tony nancy is that tony danzas character?

Tony Nancy is one of the guys that works in the speed shop. He's a real builder. Presumably he painted Jimmy Shines yellow street rod because he made the comment, "That's Tony Nancy Yellow"

ISN'T THAT A Bob Seger song also? mmmmmm. trying to remember the words. first time I watched that movie. was tonight. Back in Detroit we used to cruise the drive inns A & W , TEDS , Big Boys, And a real cool place called little skippers near Rouge Park. great old days. A lot of those street scenes remind me of Woodward or telegraph. right T MAN ???

who is tony nancy is that tony danzas character?

Tony Nancy was a real AA/ Top Fuel Dragster Pilot, from the '60's and '70's. He also had a custom upholstery shop in the San Fernando Valley. A buddy of mine bought that El Camino after the movie was made and kept it for a couple of years....cool car.:thumbsup:

I watched the rented version (uncut) and then an hour later watched the tv version. Unreal how much was cut. Still one of my favorite flicks. OH DUDLEY WOULD YOU JUST GO AWAY!!!!:D

Guys,

While the cars are cool, this movie doesn't even come close to American Graffit or even Two Lane Black Top. I do think Michelle Phiffer looks hot !!!!
JMHO

While that may be true, after watching American Graffitti the other night also, I prefer to watch Hollywood Knights when I want some good laughs. AG seems much more serious and revolves around racing. HK centers on comedy. Love both movies!

If it was shown on THE COMEDY CHANNEL they could have left everything original. I was watching a comedian on there last night and he was saying everything under the sun.

Bill,
I'm with you..MICHELLE PFEIFFER is hot. I told my wife that the day Michelle walks in my living room, we are getting a divorce. My wife said, "no luck in that for me."

"We were talking... and they knocked my pants off".

The Credits show "Hollywood Knights" performed by Brooklyn Dreams.

Michelle was looking beautiful.

That's the first time I've seen the entire movie on TV. Now I will buy the DVD so I can see what I missed. Good movie for laughs and watching cars.

After midnight Comedy Central runs everything uncensored. That's the best times to watch the stand up acts :thumbsup:

Yes, Comedy Central is the name, I stand corrected. Thanks.

The picture is BEAUTIFUL...It's worth a thousand words. Some aren't allowed on here. :)

LMAO :D

I agree that Two Lane Blacktop and American Graffitti are better. Heck, I even like More American Graiffiti!!!

Have any of ya'll seen Jyags El Camino. It looks a lot like the one in the movie. It is sweet. Laterman-Mac

Amazon.com has the dvd for $9.99 for those who gotta have it!

Score!!!!!

Amazon also has AG and More AG combo for 10.97:thumbsup:

the second ag wasnt that great its kinda like you have to see it on acid or so i hear. i dont like the 3 way views

"I agree that Two Lane Blacktop and American Graffitti are better. Heck, I even like More American Graiffiti!!!"
lol, M.A.G is the biggest waste of celluloid and 90 minutes of your time right up until "the jerk II" ..."american grafitti" is a true, must see, classic, ("I ain't nobody, dork")..i cant believe they were both made by the same person. but, for cars, babes and laughs "hollywood knights" rules...a young michelle phiefer in short, shorts (which alone cancels out all of tony danza's appearance) and a not so totally annoying fran drescher, the surfer girls and cars, cars from a way hot volkswagon to the "pie wagon" nomad and everything in between.

btw, if you have a blockbuster near you, their new total access is a way too smokin deal, they send you one, two or three movies (depending on your level) and instead of dropping them in the mail you just take them to the store and trade them in for three others from the store to watch while you wait for the next three to arrive in the mail...plus you get one freebie every week and your store bonus still racks up....all for 10 to 17 bucks a month, even at 17, thats barely three in-store rentals alone, i probably had at least (conservative estimate) 25 movies to watch (i didnt even see alot of them, i just got them and copied them to my hard drive and then traded them in) for my 17 bucks last month

laurence, laurence of arabia, he was an english guy, he came to fight the turkish, meep meep

Hollywood Knights is one of my all time favorites :hurray:

Hot Rod (nothing beats a hemi willys) is another favorite.

American Graffitti was great also.

but more AG lost everything that was cool about the original.
Kinda like Smokey & the Bandit original was great but 2 & 3 were awful.

I LOVED Hot Rod!!! Where can I find THAT in DVD I wonder??? Brian Edison and his Blown/injected Hemi Willys Coupe!!!

[/QUOTE] I gotta agree with you on Michelle and Fran but Newbomb's Pie Wagon was a Sedan Delivery and not a Nomad. ;) I don't know why people see a Tri-5 wagon and just assume it's a Nomad just because it has 2 doors. I don't mean to be pi$$y but it's a real sore spot with us Tri-5 people. If I ever get to own my dream car 55 Sedan Delivery and somebody calls it a Nomad I'm not sure how I'll react. I'll probably just laugh it off and try to educate them but a part of me will want to smack em. :D

Check Ebay, I thought I saw it there.

Hey Mac, I wanted the El Camino ever since I saw the one in Hollywood Knights when I was a kid. Great movie, I was thrilled when I finally found it on DVD after all these years.

While American Graffiti has some good scenes and is a classic, overall it's a little too boring for me, NOTHING like Hollywood Knights. Tubby's baby!

I bought Hot Rod, California Kid , and another one ???:yes: all from the same guy on ebay, they came from the UK and were defenetly bootleg, no menu or anything, they just start right into the movie, But I didnt care I was glad to get them, they were cheap too like $7 shipped. I'll see if I can find the guys name.


EDIT: I just looked at my old feedback and the guy I bought from is no longer a registered user. (no Bad feedback just dropped out I guess?)

anyway while surfing around on there I came across this guy.

UK again (probably has to do with copyright laws ?)

Anyway looks like a good chance to add a couple to you collection if you dont already have them.

You got California Kid? Where?

Jimmy Shine from SoCal is really Jimmy Falshiner or something like that.

My DVD version has very very low volume...it drives me nuts.... I want to hear the music and the blower whine!!!!!.

Lawrence..... lawrence of Arabia.......

but more AG lost everything that was cool about the original.

I seen 2 and 3 while in Iraq...I would rather watch sand blow than to watch those again. I can't believe any self respecting actor or actress would want to play in that movie after reading the script.

it was the 70s man everyboyd was dropping acid duhhhhh
