I've never seen it before ... was channel surfin' and stumbled upon it ... I'm watching it right now (it started @ 12:45am PST) ... so far, I'm not too impressed with it (the squealing tires on dirt, the stupid dialog, poor acting, etc.) ... but I admit there's plenty of cars to checkout : EDIT: I'm setting the DVR ... and going to bed!
Greetings from Long Branch NJ Americas first seashore resort and 7 time US summer capital....right on Humpie its so bad that is good...back then a major Drive - In action-bad kids movie for us....now a cult flick. Lee - WRAT FM at the Jersey Shore
i love when mimi throws the beer at the kid and he yell's "ALL GIRLS ARE NUTS" LOL I used to watch this with my ol' man when we partied, before he passed. i love that movie..... great to show to friends who have not seen it. has anyone ever seen WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS ? it's a corny 60's biker flick, but i love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAMBr Old Rod's '29 Hiboy appeared in the desert scene ... here's some (low-rez) screen captures of his roadster:
Groucho told me about this movie so when I saw it coming on TCM I watched it...I think it is a pretty weird movie really....it seemed like a 50s movie...instead of something that came out in 1967...very old fashioned...the acting was all breathless and screamy...and I mean that in a bad way...the cars were bad ass. Its also funny to me that all the "villains" in these movies that everyone is always afraid of look like theyre 5'6 and 140 lb.......my chick could kick their asses.
I remember watching this movie years ago...liked the cars....thanks for posting these Hemi32...anybody else have pics of Old Rod's car?
I saw that movie(Hot Rods to Hell) when it first came out. I remember going to the drive in and sitting in my 54 Chevy
I saw it at the drive inn when it first came out too. In the family station wagon. I also bought the movie poster from The Vintage Touque folks at the Des Moines car show a couple of weeks ago. On another note I wish that SPEED would bring back The Lost Drive Inn. That was always fun to watch on a Saturday night!
I remember as a kid thinking why Dana Andrews (the dad) didn't kick some ass or at least fight back and not be such a helpless pussy. Yeah, he had some injury or BS that made him unable to fight back but fer'chris'sakes pal, DO something. The helpless pussy thing reminds me of "Duel" with Dennis Weaver. I think "Duel" made everyone think they should have a good car and not some shitbox that can't outrun a ratty old Peterbuilt with a trailer.
He should have gotten up to speed, reached up and cut that giant "X-Cargo" loose on them. Probably could have taken out the Vette and the roadster in one shot........... .

Reminds me of that movie a year or two back with those two scrawny preppy boys that terrorized that family at some boat house or something...give me a break that movie would have lasted 5 minutes where I am from...
With the possible exception of the 56 Chevy, that big old Plymouth could have taken out all those cars easy.
there is a older version of this movie that's black and white from the 50's it is some funny shit the old guy in it is hilarious when he gets mad at the kids
The Highway patrolman in Hot rods To Hell and the passenger in the Charger in Bullet are the same guy.....
