That movie was more like the way I grew up than American Graffiti. It was if the person that wrote it hung out with us. I could take my real life experiences and write Hollywood Knights #2. We drove the restaurant managers crazy, pranked the rent-a-cops into nervous breakdowns, generally grossed the citizens out, made the Sunday church goers cuss, caused record numbers of girls to be put on restriction and left our signature burnout marks everywhere we went.
it was a good flick too.........just try to find a good copy of that somewhere.I have the LP fromBlvd Nights.........
"don't FUCK"N push me man" Chuco. Damn meatball, did your 56' have white wheel wells up front back in the day Hollywood Knights, Bellflower Drive Inn is where I watched it with my Honey and new born son in the back seat. Talk about birth controle.
One of my all time favs!Love when the cop car hit the teacher making out.They hit me so hard my pants fell off-funny shit!
I just found this thread! Laughing so hard at these movie quotes!....my favorite of all time!...I must of saw it in the theaters a hundred times!....got it on VHS and DVD. .....I get to the end of this thread to say the same thing... Nevens pants falling down........I'm Glaaaad I came!
Long lasting thread, also one of my favorite movies. Must have watched it 25 times. The '40 is one of my favorite cars ever. "so who put the chune on it?"
"That's great. Everybody's gonna think we're a bunch of 50's queers when they come in here" (ps....see my signature as well )
"Hey pencil dick, what time is it?" "Time to EAT!!" "This sure is a funny place to build a library." "I was just lookin for some burger." "You little son of a bitch..." "Hey why don't you have some punch." "Alright asshole, pull this piece of shit over there!" "Yes sir..." as he speeds away and leaves him standing in the street. Real life story, back when Detroit had those little Honda 100 motorcycles. A guy in a seriously hot rodded Chevelle SS came out of side street loud and smokey onto Schoolcraft Rd at Southfield and stopped at the light a block up. A Detroit cop was in the other lane at the red light on one of those little shits and yells at him, "Pull that damn thing over!!" The guy looks at the bike and yells "FUCK YOU!!" and takes off down the service drive leaving the cop staring in disbelief. I laughed extra hard during that scene in "'Knights" having seen it happen a few years earlier for real. Not many members here wouldn't love to be just that guy at least once, no?
There were so many things in that movie that hit home, I would swear the writers must have grown up in my neighborhood and kept meticulous notes of our antics.
i wonder if newbomb had film in the camera when he took photos of the nude sunbathers at the begining of the movie?.....................
Dude, the fat cop's name is Bimbeaux I know I can't be the only one that cringes when Shorty pulls up at Tubby's in the chopped Beetle and inadvertently kills the engine with the clutch.
Love “The Hollywood Nights”! Just bought a 61 Starliner this July, have wanted one since 1980, when I first saw this movie. Anyway, thought I might bring this post back to life.
Congratulations, always thought they looked nice. Dad bought a '61 Fordor hardtop, got my license with it. Bob
