So true Junior is driving a 65 mustang and the whiskey runners were doing it in 30s, 40s, and 50s. But when you watch it you forget about the historical facts. Whiskey made in a still is rotgut.
They must be using AI for the closed captions, because while the race cars are idling for a pit stop, with the exhaust note the only thing heard, the closed captions say "Music". Funny. But I can agree with the Prius driving programmers this time. lol
None of you AI movie channels are sharp enough to show the pear the movie was released to the public. But a Younger Jeff Bridges tells me about 1980. AI is pretty stupid actually. Makes a lot of mistakes.
@EarthSurferUSA AIs' attempts at dumbing down society...playing to the lowest denominator...of low hanging fruit that believe just because its on the internet...
Hehe... So the bad guy here has a black mustache, drives a number 43 Mopar colored Carolina blue and red, and his name is "king"man. I'd say that was just about enough for Richard Petty to sue Hollywood, haha.
They had SAM ARDS race car to meet and talk with Sam while he was working on a friend of mine's car and that man knew his stuff that was one of the smartest man that I ever met rest in peace my friend
Michael was your mom in the blue dress with shortish blonde hair or the shoulder-length blonde in the white dress holding a drink? Julia and Kevin, Maryland
I'm going to have a time with the pukes in Hollywood and specially the producer of that movie Argo. If you can't find anybody to write that better. You would never have called this the last American hero and made it part 1 because it's not the last one there's a part two obviously. And I'm sorry if you didn't get the budget. Maybe the New Script Apparently beat you OUTTA COMPTON 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
@@Hagbard123 haha I made you look nothing. Did I inspire any thought at least? Or what did you take out of it. Elaborate please. And if you can't have a good day sir.
I loved to see that Confederate flag flying above the race track. This type of racing started in the south, and we should be proud of it and fly the Southern Flag at every NASCAR RACE TODAY !!!!!! NASCAR should never go woke!!! Stick to your Heritage!! NASCAR and ICE HOCKEY are the only sports left that Have a majority of White Americans in them. There is nothing wrong with that!! The NFL and NBA are both majority of black players. So what's the difference???
Nuthin better than an Old School Ga Peach. I think a good Texas gal runs a close second. This country and people were soooo much better back then. Life was a rush.
I know this is about Junior “Jackson” and not Junior Johnson, as in it’s not a biography, but it is still odd to me that at the end he decided to keep driving for the JD Stacy type owner instead of running his own car and team. I understand that Junior raced for many different teams, sometimes three different teams in one season, but he also raced for his own Jr. Johnson & Associates team. His career as an owner was equal to or better than him racing and I’d think showing him using the winnings from Darlington to revive his own car and team would better reflect Junior’s independent spirit. Just my thoughts.
I've watched this a few times over the years and I always wonder if it's based on any one drivers career or if it's just a conglomerate of the early racing days and the drivers that forged the way ahead?? No one that I've seen has said much on the matter so I tend to think it's just a general kind of over all telling of the early drivers and not one in particular. As the history tells that NASCAR was built up from the Moonshine runners of the 1930's - 1950's and even as late as the 1960's for some. SO seeing that I haven't heard otherwise I'm guessing this is that. GREAT MOVIE and well told for the most part! There were and still are a lot "JR's" in NASCAR and otherwise racing in general in the USA of course. After looking through the comments a bit more I see folks attributing the main character (Jeff Bridges) to quite a few racers. But I thought a lot of those names are not from the earlier days. But I'm not sure.
it s a pure Adrenaline ! seeing that Mustang ,1969 makes me remember Ford Faireline navy blue backseat of my Dad and my Uncle . Another Generation ! THX for sharing
I know this is a movie but I'm just gotta say this, In reality, he must have really had that truck built pretty damn good To think he would outrun even a regular cop car hauling that tank full of shine, much less one that might be hopped up.
Alway's loved this old flix, solid actor's & Jim Croce's epic "I got a name" was a brilliant touch 💪 Some serious historical intertwining going on in it as well, such as Richard Petty's iconic STP 43 car being used as "The Villain" car on the track, when in real life both Richard & the car are universally beloved, hell Mr The King is a Icon & a Legend all over the world, but South of the Mason-Dixon line he's a God, both in 73 & in today's world as well! So strange choice there with that. Then further more, JC's " I got a name" was not only the song used in the movie, but TBS showed a collage of antiqued racing pic's & played that song going off air after The King's only son, Kyle Petty, won his first NASCAR race in 1985! The last piece of irony is of course, the sad fact that JC's fatal plane crash happened in Sept of 73, just about 2 month's after the movie debuted at my local drive-in theater. What a tragic loss that was for all who love great music. RIP JC & The Great Junior Johnson too 🙏
@@williama.6197 Really? Junior Jackson may be a fictional character but he is deeply offended by your description of his anatomy....he's mighty proud of his mustangs loud pipes......you're not much for sarcastic comments I guess 😉.
@@williama.6197 Are you having a fight with the script writers of a 50 yr old movie? Are you 10 years old? Hilarious! Junior Jackson won't take kindly to this.....
HeeeeeeheeeeeWay to go com on Baby Daddy you want in it because its bout to be some shii
I guess this was Junior Johnson's story getting started.

Thanks for a great movie. I love his race cars. I love the moonshine business.❤😊
It’s a great movie. Thanks so much. Hope I can find part two.❤😊
Good
Good where is part 2
My dad ran moon Arvil mcstotts yes he knew Junior Johnson
38:00-38:05 100% agree!
Good movie thanks 👍👍
I knew they had stills and was running moonshine during the prohibition, but not during this era.

Here in the mountains I live in people are still running moonshine
@@richardbishop8666 why
@yeshualionofjudah7107 Why do people go to work everyday?
Moonshine is as old as the Laws are...
Wow they sure sacrificed a lot of '64 thru '67 Chevelles to build race cars! That first race was full of them

1973

Enjoyed the movie very much, but I do not remember the Ford Mustang Fastback being produced in the 1950s! Yes I do understand poetic license.

they should have had lloyd and beau play his father and brother
Oh that’s heart breaking watching him make a derby car out of the old single spinner

Remember when they use to race at the Jersey fairgrounds back then you could go right into the pits use to watch the time trials

Love this movie, brings back memories from my youth

That orange 72 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme pace car is the best looking car in the whole movie and I have one outside.☺️
