    Bo Hopkins is a great person. In 2011 I could barely walk and needed a back operation. I was at Pete Paulsons car show with my 1969 Camaro. I saw Bo signing autographs at his table. I asked him if he would be in a photo with me and my car. After signing autographs he walked all the way to the back of the show to find me and took the picture, very cool indeed.

    Me too. I saw American Graffiti at a drive-in (remember them?) in Sydney way back in 1975 (films were usually released much later here in Australia in those days). I went with a group of friends, all in cars of the era - a 1961 Dodge Phoenix, Pontiac GTO, and (our Aussie offering) a two tone EK Holden. We had a great night downing burgers, coke and choc top ice creams while watching the film. Wonderful night and a fantastic film - I can still watch and enjoy it, albeit with a veil of nostalgia nowadays. Interesting to see the film's stars then and now ... who has 'had work done' , who has aged well and not so well, and who isn't with us any longer. Happy days, much better, simpler times .... and, Harrison Ford was so hot!

    @ Mate! No diesel cars made by Holden back in those days! The EK, as did most cars available in the Land of Oz then, ran on good old fashioned leaded gas. We started phasing leaded petrol out in the 1980s here. Our family car in the 'American Graffiti' era was a 1957 Ford Customline Y-block V8 - I remember it well; it was a great car and served us well for nearly 10 years. Dad traded it on a 1961 Dodge Phoenix in the 60's. My current car is one of the last Australian manufactured Holdens - a big beastie with a 6.2 litre V8. Sadly, Australia's automotive manufacturing died with the closure of Holden in 2017. Over the years all my cars, except for one Jaguar were, like me, true blue Aussies.

    @Phil M That was a for real crash on the scooter. He had never ridden one prior to his role in American Graffiti. After he crashed he just stayed in character until Lucas yelled cut. George Lucas kept doing takes (about 20-30 takes) of the scene outside the liquor store where Smith catches the bottle from the robber. The one take where he almost didn't catch it is the one that was in the movie.

    I graduated from high school in 1973 and not long after that American Graffiti was still making the rounds when I got my first job at the Theatre in our small Florida town. I remember feeling stressed one warm moonlit night because I wanted to make sure I correctly spelled the title to the movie as I placed each of the letters up on the Marquee. As usher I got to watch all of the films for free, and I loved watching this one over and over again. I still remember the 'trailer teasers' that came with the posters of this one "Where were you in '62?" Wonderful days of innocent youth.

    I wonder if Candy Clark has been in any movies lately. After being in "American Graffiti," she never became a big star like Richard Dreyfus, Ron Howard, Cindy Williams, or Suzanne Somers. She and Paul LeMat (who played "Big John" Milner) appeared together a second time in "Handle With Care" (also called "Citizen's Band"), which was about people talking to each other on their C.B. radios, which was a big fad back in the 1970s. Like "American Graffiti," "Handle With Care" received mainly positive reviews, but most of Miss Clark's later films were, at best, fair or mediocre. In 1976, she was in a long forgotten comedy called "Hambone And Hillie," starring, of all people, former silent screen star Lillian Gish. In 1978, she co-starred with Robert Mitchum in "The Big Sleep," a remake of the classic 1946 mystery movie with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. A few years later, she appeared in a Made-For-TV movie called "Popeye Doyle," with Ed O'Neill (of "Married With Children" and "Modern Family" fame) as the detective played by Gene Hackman in 1971's "The French Connection" (a character based on Eddie Egan, the New York City police detective who investigated the real French Connection case). Candy played a stripper who becomes Popeye Doyle's girlfriend and helps him solve a murder case. Aside from that, I don't know what other films she has been in, although I remember her making a guest appearance on an episode of "Matlock" with Andy Griffith, which is ironic because Candy's "American Graffiti" co-star, Ron Howard, was on "The Andy Griffith Show."

    I agree! I just happened to live across the street from her in summer 1979 when my dad bought a house in Hollywood on Bronson Ave. and I moved down just after graduating high school in the foothills of N. Ca to help him fix it up. She lived in a pink two story Spanish and I saw her but a handful of times. We also were just one house away from Chuck Berry!

I was delivery driver, pizza cook, and bartender at Pinkies Pizza which was prominently used in the movie as it was on the main drag and had a retro decor that fit the time period portrayed. Those were the days when Sonoma State was California's main weed school. There was always "Dead" or "Airplane" music blasting somewhere and nightly nude swimming at the dorms. Fun times. And, yeah, I'm seventy-one now. We've all lost our looks but wifey and I still like to go out to Boomers Bar for live classic rock music, beer, and pool. Keep on Truckin'!

    I grew up in LA & the Wolfman was the king of late night & early morning radio. Sure beats the crap out of all of the Internet crap because it was live & they had to paint a picture with words while keep us engaged. Funny how I had to go on KZread to make this comment 😂😂😂😂

    Had the opportunity to meet Paul Lemat and Candy Clark at an event my daughter and I were attending. They were both gracious and friendly individuals. We thought very highly of both.

    Funny you should mention the music in this film. Not only do I have both A-G films, but I also stumbled across this 2 cd set of all the music that was featured in the first film. Talk about a real find!!!

    I'm in British Columbia, Canada...and my good friend and former neighbor, Cameron, met Candy in California years ago. Before He moved away, he gave me a photo of him and Candy together, plus the western shirt he was wearing in that photo. I thought is was so cool of him and I treasure the photo and shirt. Yes, Cameron said that Candy was very nice and sweet too. :)

    I am glad that most of them are still with us. Absolutely loved that movie, it reminded me of high-school before the world changed.
