Two Lane Blacktop The movie

[art leong]

That movie inspired us to go to the west coast with the race car and $320 in our pockets (no plastic back then). We had to win something to get back home.

Based on Ed's review I guess I'll have to skip it...I must be sheltered because I had to google what LGBT means...glad I managed to miss it all these years....besides, I'm more of a Bullitt kind of guy, always get a kick out of them having trouble with the Charger always catching the Mustang...but what a car chase scene, almost as good as the one in "Ronin".

I have seen some of the other movies that were listed below and like older movies. The movies made today are so far away from what is possible in the real world or just plain stupid ( IE Fast and the Furious or as I call it The slow and rediculously ugly). I was a very very young kid when this movie came out and had never heard of it untill earlier this year. I saw it was on and when I read the discription and it said drag racing was involved I was hooked. There are very few movies that involve our sport so when I see one that is even remotely linked to it I usually try and watch it. I liked it and was following along but forgot to hit the button to record it on the DVR. The second time same thing. I get up and start my day at 4-5 AM most days so a movie that starts at 10 PM or later is hard for me to watch and stay awake no matter how good it is. I thought it was along the lines of all of the movies of that era in respect to how they were made and the cameras and special effects of the time. I am going to try and see If I can buy it online somewhere. I am curious to see which one made it accross the county first and got the other ones car.

I always thought the audio was pretty cool also. Besides the old race footage, including the A.H.R.A. event they happened across,, I thought the best scene in the movie was when they took the GTO driver for a "wakeup" ride in the '55. The "Holy S#!t look on his face while hes getting planted in the seat is priceless! How many times have we done that to an unsuspecting passenger,, I know I have.

Awesome movie !! some great footage of the BrotherHood Street Racing Assoc in the opening scenes. very few words bit a couple of great lines..

opening scene " I think that Hemi had a TorqueFlite"
drive in scene "Ordinarly i jump @ the oppertunity, but the thing is i'm not in the habit of seeing the chevy work against a piece of junk, let's make it 50... make it 3 large explict'er an we'll have ourselves and automobile race...
Couple of neat facts... The crew could not keep the car running on the 2 carbs you see in the engine scenes. So they made a stand to set the carbs on so you could see them through the windshield and run the car on a single carb.. The guy who comes out the garage in then gas station scene who the the Thames " with some transmission trouble" was the guy who built the car for the movie.And you never know how it ends...

Love the rock crusher whine. Side note is that the guy I bought my M22 from many years ago sold it to me real cheap cuz it whined. Sold it for a whole bunch more than I paid for it a few years ago lol.

We went to see the movie at the all night drive in. Last one on the bill , the sun was coming up and you couldn't see the end. Heck of a lot better movie than fast or furry us. ---Trevor
