For all You Movie Buffs out there,Who wore the same coat in all their Movies!??..Answer..at the bottom of this page er,Somewhere!?
..Unofficially Sponsored by Ginster's Pasties and Stella Artois!!
This 1973 movie was made on a low budget. The total cost of the film
was $750,000.00 and it introduced such stars as Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss,
Cindy Williams and Charles Martin Smith. Ron Howard was familiar to people
from his role as Opie on The Andy Griffith Show.
It was the first movie to use rock and roll music all through the soundtrack.All
the tracks are heard through the car radio?s as they cruise. One of the reasons
for this was that the music budget was low and it was all George Lucas could
afford.This is the reason there are No Elvis tracks as this would have left
no budget.
The film is about a group of recently graduated teenagers and their stories
during one night of cruising the summer of 1962.
Curt Henderson (Dreyfruss) and Steve Bolander (Howard) are bound for college
the next morning but Curt is hesitant about going. Steve is determined to
convince him that going away is the best thing to do. Meanwhile, Steve's
girlfriend Laurie (Williams) is trying to convince Steve to stay behind with
her.
John Milner (Paul Le Mat) is the older, hot-rodding, car crazy member of
the group. He has no goals in life except to stay the fastest. He's the hottest
racer in the valley and there is always someone trying to challenge him to
a race. In this case, it is Bob Falfa (Ford) in his 1955 Chevrolet gasser
that is looking for him.This was Fords 1st film role and he even convinced
Lucus that he should wear a Cowboy hat instead of the Flat-top the part required.
Terry "Toad" Fields is the nerdy member of the group that drives a Vespa
motor scooter.The 1st scene when Toad crash?e his scooter was an accident
that Lucas left in. His fortunes change when Steve gives him the keys to
his car and asks him to take care of it for him while he's away at college.?Got
the tyre pressure and things write down in a pad in the glove-box?
John Milner, while cruising the streets gets lumbered with ?Judy?s little
sister? When she gets in his car, he is astonished to see that she's only
12 years old. He spends the rest of the evening trying to find out where
she lives so he can take her home and get rid of her.Her name is Carol (Mackenzie
Phillips,Mama Caz?s daughter) and she keeps him in line by threatening to
tell people that he tried to rape her.
Toad sees Debbie (Candy Clark) walking down the sidewalk and picks her up.
?Peel out,I love it when guys peel out?..?
Another great scene in the movie is when Curt is sitting on the hood of a
Mercury Sled, watching television through a store window. The Pharaoh gang
show up and point out to him that the car he's sitting on belongs to a friend
of theirs. The leader, Joe (Bo Hopkins) accuses him of putting a scratch
on the car.Ant?z suggest they ?tie him to the car and drag ?em?..?
Joe doesn't know what to do Curt so he decides he'd better ride with them
until he can make a decision. Curt protests slightly, of course, but he know
he'd better go with them. They go to an arcade and steal money out of the
machines for gas. Then Joe sees a police car in a parking lot and decides
that a suitable task for Curt would be for him to tie a cable around the
axle of the police car and then to a post. After Curt accomplishes this,
they get the police car to chase them which results in the axle being torn
from the car.. By the end of the ride, the gang is ready to induct Curt into
the Pharaohs.
