American Graffiti Quiz!!

Ok, I thought it would be fun to have some movie trivia with a classic that most everyone here has seen a thousand times (...I hope!)

I have 3 stumpers which may require watching the movie again. Yea, like I need to twist your arm!

Stump #1. Kirt(Richard Dreyfus), his ex girlfriend and Bobbie(female friend) are cruising in Bobbies 'new' car she just got (POS VW Bug). Kirt and his ex are in the back seat makin out when Bobbie says, "oh, here comes Kip Poolman, I want to meet him! Say something Kirt!"

She gets Kirt to introduce her as they are cruisin by hangin out the window. He says something like, "Bobbie is madly in love with you and dies at the sight of your rippling biceps!"

Question is: What car is Kip Poolman riding shotgun in? A guy with glasses is driving. You only get two camera shots of it.

Stump #2. Toad is at the liquor store to buy a pint of Ol' Harper. The first person that pulls up is an old man (65 or 70ish). Toad just asks him the time and the old man tells him.

Question is: What kind of car is the old man driving? You only get to see a portion of the driver side.

Stump #3. The cop car that Officer Holestein is in. Is parked in Jerrys Cherries right before he gets the ass yanked out from under it.

Question is: What kind of car is Holestein in?

Hopefully this will be fun, if not, shoot me for tryin!

Maybe you have a good stumper to post after these have been solved?

 

The guy's name isn't Holstein, they call him that as slang for a "black and white" or a cop car. Holsteins are black and white cows.

 

had no idea...

thanks Deyomatic

 

I used to live in New Hampshire. The place is ugly with cows.

 

The Answer to the Stumpers are

1. 1958 Ford Custom 300

2. 1960 Chevy Impala

3. 1961 Ford Galaxie

The first two are fairly easy the last on you don't get a real good look at the front of the car. The give away that it's a Ford would be the tail lights. Outside of the obvious cars, one of my favorites is the the '55 Studebaker in the scene with Steve and Laurie cruisin' with Curt. That was kinda fun, never looked at the movie that close before. Eric

========================================================

'49 Studebaker P/U

Name the vehicle that Toad SAYS he owns when he is lying to the girl about what a stud he is......

Ok, one actress from "American Graffiti" appeared in a film with one actor from "Two Lane Blacktop".

1. What was the movie?
2. What kind of car did she (the AG gal) drive in this movie?

That oughtta hold you guys a while!

 

Here's some more trivia...

1. What car from American Graffiti also appeared in the movie Two Lane Blacktop?

2. What type of engine was in Bob Falfa's '55 Chevy?

Chris

 

Easy...the 55 Chevy was the same one in both movies.
It had a tunnel-rammed 454 in it, but the engine wasn't shown in Graffiti because it wouldn't have existed back in 1962!

 

I got a jeep I mostly hunt bears! hahahaha that was some funny shit. My kid "tyler" is 4. He lives to watch American Grafitti and play with his cars. Just like I was when i was a kid "still am". anyway he just is crazy about toad laughs at him through the whole movue but thinks he is the coolest. So Candy clark and bo hopkins are signing autographs at james dean run last weekend. So I ask tyler if he wants an autograph from toady's girlfreind. Obviously they don't look anything like they look in the movie so he has no clue whats goin on. We go up I tell pick out the picture and he picks out a shot of steve, debbie and toad drinking beers. He is ruined alreaddy and only four. she signs the pic and he is speechless cause she is still kinda cute and he is shy then bo says " what kinda car you got boy?" Tyler has not said a word to these guys yet and shouts back at him " a 49 mercury with a oldmobile engine!" Bo says " well you are alreaddy a Pharaoh then boy!" maybee it was a had to be there thing but it was pretty funny too badd toad was not there. he would have been in heaven. sorry if this don't count for trivia

 

Where is Axel these days btw.

 

Abomber,that's a great story. Thanks for telling us. Your son sounds like a cool little dude!!!!!!

 

Here's another one: The white '60 Impala with the old guy at the liqour store are actually in two scenes in the movie. What was the other scene??

 

1. '58 Ford
2. '60 Chevy
3. '61 Ford

You are going to have to do alot better than that to stump this crowd.

 

Alright, Here's a really tough one. What kind of car did Gil Gozales drive?

 

Gil Gonzales drove a 1956 DeSoto .

 

I have a quiz...why did Toad decide not to ask the older man to buy alcohol for him?

And you're a REAL AG fan if you can answer this one... Toad asks Debbie what school she goes to... she says "Dewey". In the 60's... this was slang for what high school?
Sam.

When

 

I can still remember Candies' big white panties...just like it was when I first saw 'em....30 years ago.....

 

All right CruZer! You're the first person I've known to get that one right.
