"Grindhouse": Tarantino does "Vanishing Point..." Damn fine car chase!

good movie hope that make more like this

 

I saw it last night, along with 300...and after six hours...I was a little pumped to say the least...but, that dude's review in the post above? Tarantino's first directing job? Are you freaking kidding me? Has this guy been living under a rock for the last 15 years?

 

Can 't wait to se this movie....by the way Tarantino's part was filmed here in my town, some of the jumps for the cars are still around. My brother and his friend hit them in a prerunner.
Used to see the ***** Wagon everywhere it's Quentin's daily.

 

OK, that was good fun...just got back from seein it...QT does it again..It was like Kill-Bill for Gearheads and zombie lovers.

It really ROCKED...I'm gonna have to see it again...seemed like many of the people in the theater had already seen it...

Now,...Who knows where I can get one of the "Rubber Duck" Br*** hood oranment? I gotta have one...Maybe there's some left-over from when they made "Convoy"....

 

F him.....Stop wrecking cl***ic cars and go wreck some Toyots'a !!

 

Austin dudes - maybe we could get a Grindhouse - Kontinentals event going at the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar.

I made a suggestion about showing some car films there last year and the manager seemed receptive to the idea.

Parking is the main problem.

 

Aww, Quick someone get him a tissue...and a hug.....
All better?...now... QUIT CRYIN!!

That's just what we need...
another "Fast and Dilerious", movie full of "Jap ****"....

So they wrecked a few MOPAR's and some Nova's, Big Woop!
I could tell ya, (but I won't).. where multiples of each are sittin..(maybe I'll sell them to QT for the sequel)
It's not like they're wrecking 1919 Packard Roadsters for god's sake..

 

But there'd be plenty of *****in going on if they destroyed a dozen or so original '30's Fords though...
Seems hypocritical to bash someone who hates to see 'newer' old steel that they're also no longer making destroyed. Taking stuff for granted like that is how stuff becomes too rare.
I think it'll be a sad day when musclecars are as rare as an real '32 Ford on the street.

I'm not even a fan of the cars in the movie and I still feel like it was a waste.

 

On thing that I thought was cool is that the film was not spead up. So if a car looks like it is goin 100 MPH, It is really going 100 MPH!

 

Well there is a big difference in crashing 60's muscle cars and 30's fords...like production amounts of those cars, and cost of vehicle to the production companies budget...and my ****ogy to Packards was just because there are supposed to be like 14, 1919 Packard Roadsters in exsistance...so..if QT wants to go crash an all steel 32, 3 window....or a Packard Roadster he can afford to....But he doesn't...He chooses recognizable cars for his charactures, and the story line wouldn't have worked out so well if used a different car from Vanishing Point now would it! As for the day there are no more muscle cars on the road(Not in your lifetime), we'll run outta fuel to drive them before we run outta those cars...

 

Don't kid yourself. There are 5 running 70 Chevelles in my city and surrounding county including mine. And 3 of those came here from Texas and California in the last few years. Back in the 70's there were a couple hundred in Idaho Falls alone. Mine was put together from 3 hulks and a bunch of parts from other cars. When my wipers broke I had to use the mechanisms from a wrecking yard Buick. The dash guage cluster I got from a Station Wagon, etc. There are no 70 Chevelles left anywhere near me to get parts from. A lot of parts are reproduced for these cars but not nearly as many as there are for 30's Fords. I know a bunch of guys with 30's Fords stashed around their places, and at least a couple hundred early Fords driving around or at least shown, but there are NO 70 Chevelles left out there as parts cars or rebuildables in Bonneville county area and 5 drivers/showers left. That's in an area about the size of Vermont.

There may be more south of the snow belt, but up here they are getting pretty damned rare. And with a lot of cities cracking down on having non registered or parts cars on your property, they don't sit there in someone's back yard like they used to. They get crushed because the wrecking yards don't want them and neighborhood and city zoning zombies are har***ing the guys with stashed cars. So everyone with inside storage saved the early iron and got rid of all the other parts cars. Even the farmers out in the county who used to have a line of old cars out by the barn or along the fence have mostly been harr***ed into getting rid of them.

 

HEY!!! This ain't a freaking debate on the merits of destroying old cars. Lets not turn this into a boo-hooing, pud pulling, salad tossing, my muscle car got smushed, and my old car ego isn't being ****ed the right way festival.

 

In future what we need is a disclaimer at the end of the movie - no old cars were hurt during the making of this film

 

I wasn't debating the morals of car crashing in the movies.

Only responding to one whiney thread about the car crashes..which has upturned a flurry of sob stories...

"I can't find dowitchets parts for my bliky knobs!!!", and "They're destroying our birthrights",rah...rah...rah.... Boo hoop d hooo hoo...
What the **** ever!!!!

I couldn't give two cups of cold panther piss if there are no more 70 chevelles (which couldn't be further from the truth)

I would cheer if they crashed a pair of plum crazy hemi Cuda's, into a Shelby Mustang and a LS-6 convertible as the cherry on top...
It'd beat the hell out of the undercover brother crashing one Enzo and cost about the same...

I couldn't give a squirt less...nor do I care if it pisses anyone off...

Maybe you could get green peace to stage a sit-in in hollywood about saving the Detroit gas guzzlers from the mean ole "car killing movie producers.."
Or how about a congretional inquest into unfair
treatment of muscle cars in american cinema....
GET A GRIP!!!

The ****in movie ROCKED!!!.....
Cheers for the killer chase, crash scenes
BRING ON THE SEQUEL...
Let's crash some more of them...

(In closing, I am collecting hugs for all the taumatized movie goers....................PLEASE GIVE)

 

Are you trying to be funny?! Dude- a car is a car. oil, grease and gas. end of story. if you don't like the improvemnets over youre precious 50s then you should move there!

 

I just hope we actually get to see "Werewolf women of the S.S."!

 

Wow, you **** as a car guy.
Even if you don't like those rides, they're all part of history and dream cars for some.

 

especially if they can work in some of the great german cars of the time...stealing a a w-196 would be awesome!!!

hell i'd settle for some hairy scary action.

 

"I would cheer if they crashed a pair of plum crazy hemi Cuda's, into a Shelby Mustang and a LS-6 convertible as the cherry on top...

Don't let Barrett-Jackson see that...suddenly all Chevelles, Cudas & Mustangs will go from insane prices to "ludicrous speed" prices.

Every loser with a 4 door Chevelle or a 318 Mopar in his backyard now thinks it's worth big money as it is...

 

Back on topic... I really liked Grindhouse. Planet Terror rocked! It had buckets of blood on just about every scene. Deathproof had way too much dialog in it and I was actually rooting for Kurt Russell and not the stunt chicks.

The Thanksgiving trailer was one of the sickest I've ever seenk. Did anyone catch what was on the table in the second to last shot.

Machette really needs to be made into a movie. Maybe they'll do it for the sequel. "They f**ked with the wrong Mexican."

 

Hillbilly sure does not sound like a car guy. Those cars are part of an era of American production ( Muscle ) that is gone, just like 30's Fords. There were far less 70 Challengers made then A's. Nobody cares if you don't like them but try and appreciate just what they are for some. Some how I don't think your gonna get this

 

I saw it @ 11pm on Thursday night at the Drafthouse South Lamar. QT and Rodriguez set it up so that Austin would be the first place in the country to see it- pissed alot of distributors off! It was cool afterward creeping through the lot at 2:30am with my lights off revving my engine...
Most of you Austin folks know Nadia-look for her in the Chili Parlour scene when Kurt Russell is talking about his old stunt work. I got to tell my friend that she did a jello shot with a movie star at Roundup! She also worked as a production ***istant on "Deathproof" building roll cages and planting explosives for crashes and such.
"Hobo with a Shotgun" was the SXSW trailer winner; they should be showing it with all the release Stateside and otherwise. There's a bunch of the other contestants on Youtube. Here's one some of the Fighting Stunts ***ociation members worked on (NOT WORK SAFE!):

OK, First of all... I NEVER!!! said I didn't like them (I currently own one of those cars as well as my other rides)...All I was doin was pokin a little fun about some of you all who were boo hooing over a couple of ****in non original crashed movie clones....(ya don't really think they crashed matching numbers concourse cars do ya?) they cobbel together cars for that stuff and reuse the cars again and again until they're used up...

But you wanna take this opportunity take personel shots at me, .."blah blah blah"..."rah rah rah"...I see you moving your mouth but nothings coming out....

You don't know me!... and I wouldn't care to know ***uming folks like you anyway!...personally I couldn't give 2 ****s about what your idea of me or what a car guy is...

Sooo, how bout this...why don't you put your $$$ where your mouth is and bring your ride (if ya even have one) to MOKAN and we'll settle it on the 1320 and I'll smoke your *** with my handbuilt non carguy ride... Have a nice day!

 

Hillbilly ya got your ******* all in a bunch. Calm down. Nobody's taking personal shots at you. I'm sure your a nice guy,but Your rants are rather juvenile so I'm going back to car stuff. Good Luck in Mokan. Yes yours is bigger then mime,if that makes ya feel better...

 

Kowalski? Are you out there Kowalski?...

 

No, not matching numbers show cars, but it would make you sick to your stomach if you saw what they consider stunt car fodder- and how many they destroy.
How do I know? Notice where I live, I've seen many of the cars.

Anyways, can't stop 'em. They'll just do it 'till they're gone.

 

Horsepower67...I guess that was the point of my original line or two. They don't give a **** what they wreck

 

Did anyone else notice that the '56 Chevy in "Planet Terror" was the same one used in "Road Racers"?

 

Truth.

 

I am happy!!!! Doesn't really matter though, I'll NEVER sell my Charger.

Notice how Mopars seem to be more popular than other makes in the movies????? Why is that??

"Cause Mopars are more BAD*** hahaha!!!







*disclaimer- calm down Chevy/Ford guys...........just pokin' fun.....Pontiac guys, well....you have enough problems....
