I miss Jack Lemmon and think he gave one of his funniest performances in this picture. Pure genius.

1964 Hannibal 8, custom built by Warner Bros at a cost of $150,000 ($150,000 in 1964 is equivalent to over $1 million today). All hand constructed, it is a true work of art. Powered by a Corvair 6 cyl and 3 speed manual transmission; all 4 rear wheels are powered and chain driven. It has a cannon that emerges and retracts from the cars bonnet and a functional smoke screen.

That's one of the greatest catchphrases in American history!

Always loved this film since I was a child, it brings you to a happy place

Heh heh heh... Jeez, there will never be another Jack Lemmon. We were lucky to have him.

My older Brother (RIP) and I used to say "Push the button, Max" and "Now can I have me some fighting room!" all the time.

I say "push the Button, Max!" as a joke, and people don't get my reference. it's a shame how few people in the modern age have seen this film.

The entire cartoon series 'The Wacky Races' was based on this movie and YES, Jack Lemmon's Professor Fate is whom they modeled Dick Dastardly after.

But, oddly enough, they gave Dick the face of Terry Thomas!

Hannibal Twin 8, coolest car ever made! What could be better then a car with a hydraulic suspension and a canon?

He like a cross between Daffy Duck, Snidely Whiplash, The Grinch and The Nostalgia Critic.

"Push the Button, Max" was the unofficial Captain's command for the First Officer to engage the auto-throttles on the Boeing 737's and 757's at the airline I retired from. Jack Lemmon should have been at least nominated for a best supporting actor oscar for playing BOTH Professor Fate AND Prince Frederick Hapnick. and RIP Peter Falk is what I think was his best ever comedy roll as Max.

Professor Fate is the reason why the *FIA* - Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (English translation: International Automobile Federation) and other governing bodies had to be established in motorsports organisations.

'push the button max!' XD

Gotta love that laugh :)

Professor Fate is my hero

Can't see this too many times (and I've seen it 100s) !! Thanks.

0:01-0:10 was the greatest evil laugh I've ever heard.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!

@swamiebo "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!!!"

So, every now and then, the dime finally drops. Just now is such an occasion. When i was a little kid, i remeber drawing things with my uncle, and he commented or almost narrated the drawings. He had a very elegant, low key, quirky sense of humor quite unique to him. I drew a car with ridiculously long coil springs, so the body of the car was high in the air. He said it was the Professors car. Now i get it.

If there ever a car to own it would have to be the Hannibal Twin 8. I honestly can't think of a better car to own.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX

Kinda like a turn of the century James Bond vehicle.

Push the Button Max. My new catch phrase.

it's ready, yes yes it's ready........

I have ALWAYS loved this car. The Leslie "Special" was overrated. Give me a Hannibal twin 8's, anyday!

RIP Peter Falk

"Макс, нажми кнопку!" Любимый фильм детства!

Sem essa dupla o filme não teria graça nenhuma, parabéns a dupla.. Lemmon e Hannibal

Dick Dastardly / Snidely Whiplash was based on Professor Fate.

Statalyzer actually, snidely whiplash was created before professor fate. in about 1959 or 1960 or so.

Not THAT button !!!!

I agree...He was the greatest Professor Fate!!

This is the closest he ever looks to actually being happy in this entire movie.

Well, he always sees his nefarious schemes come to naught and he is deservedly unhappy.

Push the "LIKE" button Max!!

I see Max pushed the dislike button also by mistake :)

This would be the batmobile if batman was rebooted as steampunk.

@jimdsnow Not to mention the chain-driven scissor lift.
