"What is this, a wine bottle cork?" "Yeah" "You've got no fire extinguisher, no safety chute, and you're too old." "Bullocks." Burt Munro in The World's Fastest Indian
A few more: Corvette Summer: Ed McGrath: I've been around automobiles all my life. They're mechanical devices. They always let ya down. Ya buy 'em, ya drive 'em, ya break 'em, ya fix 'em, ya sell 'em. Goods in the market place. Don't get too attached to this car. Kenneth W. Dantley, Jr.: I drive my first car at nine. I overhaul my first transmission at ten. At thirteen I turn the quarter mile in under 12 seconds...and I wait till now to get laid? Grease: Danny: You can't just walk out of a drive-in. Leo, Scorpions member: The rules are... there ain't no rules! Vanishing Point (Original): Super Soul: And there goes the Challenger, being chased by the blue, blue meanies on wheels. The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver, the last American hero, the electric centaur, the, the demi-god, the super driver of the golden west! Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver. The police numbers are gettin' closer, closer, closer to our soul hero, in his soul mobile, yeah baby! They about to strike. They gonna get him. Smash him. ****... the last beautiful free soul on this planet. Hollywood Knights: Newbomb Turk: Did you ever hear the joke about the man with five *****es? His pants fit like a glove. Christine: Arnie Cunningham: Oh man, there is nothing finer than being behind the wheel of your own car! Except *maybe* for *****! Gone in 60 Seconds(Original): Maindrian Pace: Hey, Stanley, what's your new girlfriend's name? Stanley Chase: Jill, why? Maindrian Pace: I'm going to name this car after her, 'cause she's a wreck too. Gone in 60 Seconds(Remake): Memphis: I've been in L.A. for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me. Roger the Car Salesman: Well, a Ferrari would certainly change that. Memphis: Perhaps, Mmmm. But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much ****** money! Now, if I was driving a 1967 275 GTB four-cam... Roger the Car Salesman: You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur. Memphis: Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part. Sway: What do you think is more exciting... having *** or stealing cars? Memphis: Having *** or boosting cars... Um, oo! Well, uh... How about having *** WHILE boosting cars? Sway: Oh, that's a good line. Doesn't work on a lot of girls, though. Memphis: I just blurted it out, I'm sorry... But, you haven't answered the question. Sway: Well, you see, the problem is... how do you get over the shifter? Memphis: Oh, oh right... because the uh... Sway: 'Cos it gets in the way. Memphis: Because you wouldn't want to disrupt the syncro-mesh... the throttle linkage... the clutch master cylinder... the overhead camshaft. Sway: I can't do this. Memphis: Straight inline 6, triple Weber carburetors, bolted to each other's body structures... Sway: Well, it's time to work... Memphis: Good brakes... good brakes, too!
Mad Mad The impound yard when the kid asks Bubba Zeneti about the trashed Impala.. Kid: Hey Mr, what happened to the car ? Bubba: What do you think happened ? Kid: Looks like it was chewed up and spat out. Bubba: Perhaps it's a result of anxiety
Days Of Thunder, Robert Duvall to Tom Cruz. " I want you to go back out on the track and run right into the back for the pace car. Why not; you hit every other car out there!!!!" LOL
The movie- King Of The Mountain The street racer- Harry Hamilin The song- Renegade, by Styx, not Queen. "...the jig is up, the news is out, they finally found me-the renegade who had it made, retrieved for a bounty, never more to go astray this wil be the end today of the wanted man..." Damn I love that flick as well!
I may be wrong (quite likely) but when I lived in Phoenix, where that scene was supposedly shot, the word around Arby's on Central Ave was that the T-bucket was Carl Dubow's T at the time. Gotta tell ya, I met Carl and didn't think much of his personality so I wanted to beleive it, even if it wasn't true.
(Sorry if I don't get the quotes right) Since all the great lines have been repeated ad nauseum...more from "Used Cars" "What the hell is this? A Mercedes 450SL for $15,000, and a price that's just toooo ****in' high" (pushes the plunger on the detonator) "What airline's he flying in on?" "Uh, Edsel." (Yelling into bullhorn) "Today we're going to give a lesson in driving history by going 75 miles an hour" "You can look, touch, taste, feel all you want" "OK, I'll go to my manager and tell him what you want to offer, but when I do it'll kill him" (followed by Roy Fuchs stumbling into the room and clutching his chest) "I installed a pacemaker in this man's chest with my own bare hands" ("Squiggy" poking his finger into "Lenny"'s chest) (Not a car movie, but still a great line from "Kelly's Heros") Oddball (talking about the hopped-up engines in their Sherman tanks): "I like to think we can get out of trouble as fast as we get into it"
did "Speed is Time!!!!!Time is Speed!!!!!!!" already make it on the list? That was the Dennis Hopper line in King of the Mountain........... (gotta be his lowest carrer point - Texas Chainsaw M***acre Part II was amazing - so dont even bring that one into it)
It wasn't exactly a car movie, but the movie did have a song about a car and hot rodding. "CARBURETORS, MAN, THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT......" .. Juicy Fruits 1974. Written by Paul Williams (the short little long-haired blonde guy in Smokey And The Bandit) Director Brian DePalma Weird movie, some good music, some strange music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8q2...D7AF89E78&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=2 my favorite song if you can ignore the video-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYFTbzREY7M&feature=fvw
