BrianC Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I remember going to see it at the theatre when it was released in the UK. I new nothing about the movie - just liked the posters - hey it was a car movie! Took my then girlfriend along and ended up paying almost no attention to her....boy did I get you know what for that!still one of my favourites - bought the sequel about 6 or 7 years ago on dvd - good but not as good as the original.
Chuck Most Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Now that Mr. Lucas no longer owns the Star Wars franchise, I wonder how long it will be before this movie is re-released with really badly integrated digital effects, and a scene where Greedo shoots first... or how long it will be before there's a prequel.
thatz4u Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Being a baby-boomer, I've been through the 60's twice!! The first time was a lot more fun!!!(I copyrighted the line, so you can't repeat it without permission)

It's already been done - twice. For its 1979 re-release, tied in with the coming of More American Graffiti, the month of Milner's fate at the end was changed from June to December; plus three scenes that had been cut were added back in: Toad and the used car dealer with the Corvettes, Steve telling his former teacher to "go kiss a duck", and Falfa singing "Some Enchanted Evening" to Laurie. Much later, for the DVD release, a more vivid red-clouded sunset was digitally added to the opening shot. Edited August 17, 2015 by ChrisBcritter
AC Norton Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 ..........a piece of movie history,,,one of the best ever....the ace...
carrucha Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 My favorite car movie for sure. A couple of years back I bought the Bluray edition. It's amazing how clear and vivid the movie is on Bluray.
ChrisBcritter Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Forgot to mention that the screenplay was released as a paperback book; it contained another two scenes between Toad and Debbie that weren't in the film, and the dialogue in the junkyard scene with John and Carol ran much longer. I could post those parts here if you're interested... Edited August 17, 2015 by ChrisBcritter
