hot rod havoc

 

"The Lively Set" James Darren in a chrysler turbine car. Watch this after mowing the lawn, when you're too tired to move.

 

try Hollywood Knights

 

I like Hot Rod with the gray primer 41 Willys g***er. I have it taped on VHS, commercials and all...

 

Hot Rod Girl..........Cool cars.....

 

The Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow, TV Tommy Ivo at his ginchiest

 

Hands Down the best Hot Rod Comedy is Hollywood Knights!

 

I know of one.

Two-Lane Blacktop

 

I saw one late last night on a low budget channel , I think called "wild ride" ,(all right , stop laughing). Looks like it was made in the late fifties, and had Jack Nickolson playing some punk that was a race car driver. had some cool old sprint cars and hot rods.

 

Death Race 2000!!!

tony danza is the coolest

 

There's a stack of them written up here, if you scroll down:

Hot Rod Gang is a good one...T-Bird Gang and Dragstrip Girl are a couple more.
One of the coolest(more greaser than rodder) is Road Racers...HARD to find though.

 

I think if I had Fran Drescher in the back of my car down to her ******* I would do the exact same thing Newbomb did.

 

Or three!

 

I agree, Hollywood Knights is the best.

 

"I agree, Hollywood Knights is the best"

Apparently, you guys have never seen "Hotrods to Hell". Before you die find this one.

 

"Thunder Road" with Mitch Mitchum is quite possibly THE BEST movie in my opinion..souped up shoebox driven by a cool moonshiner tryin to outrun the law.good stuff!
creepy

 

Even thought it's not technically a car movie, I've always loved WW and the Dixie Dancekings. I saw it as a kid at the drive-in with my parents...loved that '55 "Golden Goose" Oldsmobile.

Some excellent hot rods in Attack of the Giant Gila Monster too.

 

I hope it involves some quick surgury to her vocal chords so she can never make that annoying laugh again.

*shudders*

 

I agree, great movie. Seen it a dozen times!

 

A series at the movie matena in 40's,was Brunimup Barns about a guy ran around in a hot rod (race car)saving the world with it's speed and his driving.
Was on TV in the 50's as a filler,here in miami,chanel 51 M.T.Graves TV show. I liike that best. Any one this old ?

 

My favorite! How the hell did Mitchum flick that cigarette into the car alongside doin' 70?

 

I agree, the way to go is the Mad Fabricator movies.

the others are ****. I know because i own a lot of them.
