i think that's called Fried Green Tomatoes....

 

Now that is FUNNY!

 

Lol

 

The whistle Stop Cafe is here in Ga. Ate there once, drove my 36 there. (Just so we're trad related.) Guy's right up there with the all time best first post.

 

Talking about junk yard movies, anyone remember one where a guy builds a rocket in his junk yard, with the plan to fly off into space? Must have been late 70s or early 80s. I vaguely remember seeing it at the drive in.
Doc.

 

Don't remember a movie but there was a short lived TV series called Salvage One with Andy Griffith where he built a rocket in his junk yard that was reusable and he used it to salvage all the space junk in orbit

Doesn't ring a bell but if it was me I would have called it The Wagon Slayer

 

i think the cop was called ice man or something

 

series was based on the film... funny as hell too.

 

and again, welcome to the HAMB

 

THANK YOU!! WoHo! Im not crazy there was a movie!!
Anyone know if you can get it on DVD?

 

Wallace and Gromit? They went to the moon to get some cheese.

 

All that in one breath...............

 

I remember a Tales from the Crypt episode called King of the Road. Had a similar plot.

 

maybe it was called Steel Magnolias? there was a lot of drag racing in that one, but the movie that has the most drag stuff in it was called Priscilla, Queen of the Desert...

 

Was this guy in it? (FNG getting hazed)

 

Yeah it was an episode of "Tales From The Crypt" and was called "King Of The Road". Season 4, Episode 9. It starred Brad Pitt before he was famous. Brad drove a '68 Chevelle and challenged the Ice Man to a race by kidnapping his daughter. The Ice Man was an ex-street racer turned police officer that went to the junkyard and retrieved a bitchin' Grey '57 Chevy that was kept in indoor storage by an old friend. Kinda corny but fun to watch. You can find it in Youtube.

 

Here you go.

Brad Pitt dies! Now that just made my day!!!

 

Wallace and Grommit, The Wrong Trousers.

 

"You HAMBers are such studs! Especially the FNG's!"

 

Nads - Don't screw around with Wallace and Grommit, man! Get it right. It was called A Grand Day Out and was thier finest work. I don't believe Brad Pitt was in it, but he may have played one of the mice who help them build the rocket ship in their garage - those guys are some badass fabricators (especially Grommit, natch)!

Oddly, I never watched Tales from the Crypt, but happened to see that episode one night while surfing - what a jaw dropper that was!

Hope this helps clear things up.
