If any of you haven't seen this, you ought to watch it. It is worth seeing even if you don't like it (does that make sense?). Also it is no longer available on VHS or DVD so record it if you don't have a copy.


Duckus****us

 

do you think they changed jets enough in that 55?

 

I reckon they did, "Two Lane Blacktop" is my second favorite movie next to "Casino"

 

when they cruise the drive in looking to "just hook one"

the mechanic, Dennis Wilson spots one,

what is it?

 

dammit.... i dont get that channel

 

It's been awhile since I've watched the movie, but I think ithe movie says it's a green 32 Ford. However it looks like a 30-31 Model A with a 32 grill shell, if I remember correctly.

 

That would be a 32 Chevy.
What's the prize?

damn quick!

I think you are right that it is a 30'31 A but I think it's a '33 Chevy grill

and the more I look at it the big Chevy motor in it appears to have a Man-A-Fre setup with stacks on it..

 

You're right about the intake.

Look real close it is all over chevy.No ford stuff there.

T.OUT

 

is that a Chevy cowl and visor?

 

i believe it was...

gto-i go fast enough
driver-you can never go fast enough.

 

I dont know if Timewarner cable has that channel? Anyone got anyu idea? Socal area

 

Color me GONE BABY!!!!!!!

 

First line of the movie (I think I am at least close)

"That Cuda last night was a Hemi with a Torqueflight."

I can't think of any other movie like that.

 

Watchin' it now. Haven't seen it since '74 at basic trainin' in the Air Force's movie theatre at San Antonio. No wonder I only watched it once and never again. It's ****in' BORING!! Jesus, all James Taylor does is mope throughout the whole movie. Some things are funny...when Warren Oates makes an *** outta himself(often) but all Brian Wilson wants to do is check the jets on the carbs. Boring. The cars are cool. James Taylor keeps ****in' up his lines though. And the ending is stupid. The film just burns away. I walked outta the theatre thinkin'...man I just wasted 2 hours. But it was free. All you culties...feel free to rip away.

 

I'll agree witcha - the ending was WTF? the first time I saw it, but upon reflection, it made sense. Boring? If I reflect back on most of the times I went out to hook one over the past threee decades - 80% of the time was spent doin pretty much what JT and BW did - a few seconds of hairy action followed by a whole lotta nuthin'.

I'm watchin' it right now - the Chebby makes real nice short gear noises...cool.

 

the people are not the main characters,
they are only there as supporting actors,
the real star is the car.

it's performance is totally convincing
it's like it's speaking directly to me

 

3 yards mo fo and you got yourself an automobile race...........

 

I totally agree on the car stuff. Loved it...but the script writer shoulda been castrated.

 

you can buy it at amazon on dvd still ..................



you cant ride the same ole high for too long, know what I mean?//

 

I thought he said 3 LARGE...'cause the next line was a bystander sayin' '****, their gonna race for $300.

 

its not brian wilson, its his brother dennis wilson.

and its pretty much the best movie ever, you just have bad tastes
