it was the 70s man everyboyd was dropping acid duhhhhh

 

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

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.

 

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.......

 

You got California Kid? Where?

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

 

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.

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.

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

 

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

 

"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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

"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.

 

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."

 

LMAO

 

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

Bill

 

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!

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.

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"

 

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:

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

Score!!!!!
