Milner was as cool as they come. Great movie!

John is easily the most interesting character in the movie. Not the hoodlum you initially think he is but a much deeper character. His part, & that of Carol (Mackenzie Phillips) are beautifuly played by both actors & add another dimension to a film that was groundbreaking in its day & remains influential today.

Thank you for making this Mr. Lucas.

Thank you for this. Long time since I saw this movie. But it actually must be the movie that influenced my life the most. Sorry, if my English stinks. It's my 3rd. language. But the thing is that even today I like the music and the cars from that age. And yes; a movie is a movie.

0:58 these days that garage would have banners of sponsors and aftermarket companies on the wall. I’m always interested in seeing this simpler time in car culture.

Unreal clarity and sound thanks heaps.

Wish I had a ride like that Ford. Only dreams now!

My neighbor's Tesla may be quick, but it'll never be cool. Here's to internal combustion and wind in the face.

I’m carrying on this tradition with my grandkids now. Showing them all the old cars in movies and how to work on them. Invest in an old rod. Tell the wife it’s an INVESTMENT. Then have fuuuun.

Always liked Paul Le Mat. Nobody could have played John Milner any better.

There is a Paradise Road west of Modesto. Maybe that was the inspiration.

Betcha that T bucket would of given Milner trouble...Falfas 55 was way faster! Milner had a killer hole shot... I know the 55 was a legit 10 second car in two lane blacktop anyone take a guess on Milners Deuce.

The only thing about the last seen in the movie is when the 55 flips over you can clearly see the rims are silver painted instead of chrome rims it just looks stupid

Really? From my understanding, the 327's weren't made until 1962. Somebody else told me a 283. For the weight of his Ford which was a lot less than the 55 Chevy, even though he had a larger cubic engine, more horsepower, that Ford took him on, and after the tire blowout, beat the 55 Chevy.

We lived for street racing in the 60’s into the 70’s then have been involved in Professional racing ever since. Never in the hundreds of street races and several thousand races at the track did did I or anyone I ever known that races stage the cars then do a stare down with the other driver. That’s Hollywood BS. Only time you ever even look in the direction of the other car is to see if they are pulling up to stage then all you’re looking at is the flagger on the street or the Christmas tree at the race track. You look in any other direction you will be late at the start and greatly lessen your chances of winning.

Agreed that the '55 Chevy V8 was the first to produce 1 horse per cubic inch you can clearly see in the movie and in this clip that Falfa SKIMPED MAJOR on the suspension of his '55. Fish could take lessons from that '55 plus I don't think that '55 had a posi traction rear end where the '32 did

HANS was never in any of the races...THE FORCE WAS NEVER WITH HIM..
