- American Graffiti is a 1973 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed and co-written by George Lucas starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat, Harrison Ford, Charles Martin Smith, Cindy Williams, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips, Bo Hopkins, and Wolfman Jack. Suzanne Somers and Joe Spano also appear in the film. Set in Modesto, California in 1962, the film is a study of the cruising and rock and roll cultures popular among the post-World War II baby boom generation. The film is told in a series of vignettes, telling the story of a group of teenagers and their adventures over a single night.
A sequel More American Graffiti
In Modesto California on the last evening of summer vacation recent high school graduates and longtime friends, Curt Henderson and Steve Bolander, meet John Milner, the drag-racing king of the town, and Terry "The Toad" Fields in the parking lot of the local Mel's Drive-In diner. Curt and Steve are scheduled to travel the next morning to Northeastern United States to start college. Despite receiving a $2,000 scholarship from the local Moose Lodge, Curt has second thoughts about leaving Modesto. Steve gives Toad his 1958 Chevrolet Impala to watch while he's away at college until he returns at Christmas. Steve's girlfriend, Laurie, who is also Curt's sister, arrives in her car. Steve suggests to Laurie In one story line, Curt is desperate to find a beautiful blonde girl driving a white 1956 Ford Thunderbird that he sees en route to the dance: at a stoplight, she appears to say I love you before disappearing around the corner. After leaving the hop, Curt is coerced by a group of greasers ("The Pharaohs") to participate in an initiation rite that involves hooking a chain to a police car and ripping out its back axle. The Pharaohs tell Curt that "The Blonde" is a trophy wife or prostitute, but he refuses to believe either. Determined to get a message to the blonde girl, Curt drives to the local radio station to ask DJ Wolfman Jack, who is omnipresent on the car radios Inside the radio station, Curt encounters a bearded man who tells him that the voice of The Wolfman is pre-taped from afar. As he is leaving the station Curt sees the man talking into the microphone and hears the voice of The Wolfman, and realizes the man is the actual DJ himself. Sure enough, The Wolfman eventually reads the message on the radio for "The Blonde" to meet Curt or call him at a number which happens to be a telephone booth. It turns out to be "The Blonde" who says she knows him
The Toad, in Steve's car, and John, in his yellow 1932 Ford Deuce Coupé hot rod, cruise the strip of Modesto. Toad, who is normally socially inept with girls, successfully picks up a flirtatious, and somewhat rebellious, girl named Debbie. John inadvertently picks up Carol, an annoying 12-year-old who seems fond of him. Another drag racer, the handsome and arrogant Bob Falfa, is searching out John in order to challenge him to a race.
Steve and Laurie have a series of arguments and make-ups through the evening. They finally split and, as the story lines intertwine, Bob Falfa picks up Laurie in his black 1955 Chevrolet One-Fifty Coupé. Bob finally finds John and goads him into racing. A parade of cars follow them to "Paradise Road" to watch the race. Laurie rides shotgun with Bob as Toad starts the race. As Bob begins taking a lead in the race, he loses control of the car when a front tire blows, and the car plunges into a ditch and rolls over. Steve and John leap out of their cars and rush to the wreck as a dazed Bob and Laurie stagger out of the car before it explodes. Distraught, Laurie grips Steve tightly and begs him not to leave her
At the airfield in the morning, Curt says goodbye to his parents, his sister Laurie, Steve, John and The Toad. As the plane takes off, Curt, gazing out of the window, sees the white Ford Thunderbird belonging to the mysterious blonde driving down a country road.
An on-screen epilogue reveals that John is killed by a drunk driver Toad is reported missing in action near An Lộc in December Steve is an insurance agent and Curt is a writer living in Canada.

George Lucas nailed the entire soundtrack of this movie!😮😊😢😅😂❤, one of the top five movies of all time!!
Thee number one movie of all time.. IMO.
With Star Wars at number 1!
🤘🤩🤘
I did a lot of drag racing back in the sixties, usually late at night. No one was crazy enough to stand in front of the cars when they were taking off.
Not to mention no seat belts. In a real life scenario both of them would likely been thrown during the rollover.
@@muffs55mercury61well seatbelts were more of a recommendation back then😂
Have you seen how the young people race today? They race right on city streets with people lined up 2 feet away from the cars, it’s insane! In my area we always went to a back road, river road where nobody would come around
It’s a movie…not a documentary
It’s done for dramatic effect
I wish I would of been around for late 60s street races must of been wild
Green Onions playing in the background makes this scene so much better. Great movie!
2023 and that scene never gets old.
it already has.
@@sallyjoan as a 12 year old seeing this movie in 1973 with my Dad, it doesn't get old to me
Yep what a time it was. When the film came out in 1973 the drive-in theaters were always at capacity so we went early.
@@dannyb9140Don't listen to that hater. The picture turned 50, and it still lives to this day!
Facts bud 😂❤
My favourite film of all time
Lived the era and will say this s the greatest film of all time for me!
John Milner will always be#1
Man i love the sound of the 55 Chevy😊
Yep that shift at .56 was my favorite part
One of the leftover '55s from Two Lane Blacktop. The one that started the race was running a 454ci Big Block (that didn't exist at the time this movie was set...1962). The car they flipped was a 6 cyl junk car.
Classic classic classic. How could George Lucas make a movie as perfect as this and go on to Star Wars ?
He wanted BEYOND perfection!🤩
THAT IS THE MOST ICONIC SCENE IN THE MOVIE, THE BEST PART 👌 👍.
I love this movie. The cars were real and girls were real.
Although it takes place in 1962, the film brought back the interest of the 1950s and nothing's changed since. Cindy Williams was 25 at the time but looked convincing as a 17 year old. Paul LeMat was 27 but also looked right for a 19-20 year old college kid. Long story short the casting was perfect for the film. The film was so popular that it was brought back in 1974.
The '55 Chevy had a rear end change as it has Buick wheels on it with the larger 5 x 5 bolt pattern. You need to be a highly skilled driver for this. Falfa obviously was not as he lost control.
They just don't make movies like this anymore. Amazingly this was filmed with a budget of $750,000 which was bare bones even in 1973. A huge chunk of that went to buying the rights to use the songs in the film.
Millner wasn't at all a college kid, he was a drag racing mechanic who loved cars and loved drag racing them, and criuzin the street with his 32 Ford there. In the end, sad that he was in a wreck when a drunk driver took him out and he cashed in.
Even though it takes place in 62' the 55' Chevy actually had a 454 engine in it which didn't come out till 1970 ~ fun fact
They were both sweet rides though after the movie the studio tried to sell the car for $1500 and nobody would buy it....Isn't that insane! I would love to have been there then with 1500 in my pocket!
@@user-yd6yj4yt5q I also heard the (Pharohs gang's) Mercury sat on the property lot for many years gathering dust before it was finally sold. The cars of the 50s were getting desirable in the 1970s but weren't worth a lot of money until well into the '80s.
@@geraldwegener8376 It's a movie, not a documentary.
@@geraldwegener8376 I'm having trouble trying to understand what you're saying here. What do you mean "it's fake"?
Lived this era, 40 miles south from right there.
No better song for this scene
Exactly. You said brother.
Had multiple copies of this great soundtrack on 8-track tape(s). The tape was so long that it inevitably got bound up inside so I just kept returning it. Thirty years after the movie premiered my fiancée gave me the expanded soundtrack on CD. Those still work but I did rip those discs some years back.
2024and that mitic scene never gets old
❤American. Graffiti
For Ever
The license plate on Milner's car -THX-1138, was the name of George Lucas's first film.
Cool----didn't know that !
"WOLF MAN JACK"..I REMEMBER listening to him on the radio.✌️👍
This Universal Picture is fucking FANTASTIC.
Seen the sun come up many a morning between age 18-21.. racing, drinking beer, talking about cars & girls everyone faded away and sometimes I drive the same roads thinking back ..I'm 60 now😢
The 32 Ford coupe and the 55 bel air are instant eye catchers
I thought it was a 210
@@lemmyspeaks It's a 150. It doesn't have any chrome trim down the side.
Back when movies were worth the price of admission.
I’ve seen this movie several times, of course in theatre when it first came out! Really need to watch it again....what a great movie!
50 YEARS ON!!! They just re-released it with a beautiful new sound mix that's powerful as the name itself! :D
Got to admit the big block in that 55 chevy sounds mean as hell! Lol!
454 Movie car. Was in 2 Lane Blacktop.
@@SuperDavidmills .. I saw 2 Lane Blacktop another classic V8 Story :P] .v ..
@@SuperDavidmills this is the exact same car that was in two lane blacktop! Your right. These others aren't aware. Do some research guys.
Yes it was used in two lane blacktop. But they had two cars in that movie. The exterior shots were of the car with the 454 tunnel ram. The interior shots were of the car with the 427. The 427 car was used in ag. Of course the rollover car was just a junker.
In 1962 the big block Chevy was the 348 which later became the 409. A lot of horses under that hood.
Love the tune and the movie !!!
Watch the replay in slow, 55 never got bumper to bumper with the 32.
Face it. The 32 was much faster.
that song green onions I know they filmed it 4 times to get that 55 to roll awesome in everyway
I seen that on the Documentary, George said they tried everything but it wouldn't roll over, that be a great Car Commercial.
Sometimes when I go to classic car shows (which I often do in the Summer time), I see cars like the 55 Chevy that Falfa drove.
I do look for it, but I've never seen a car like Milner's 31 Ford Coupe.
I just find classic cars more interesting than modern cars for some reason.
1 reason could be that they were easier to work on & don't have as much stuff crammed together under the hood as my Dad once told me.
His was a ‘32 Deuce, not a ‘31
Dude that LOVED that car bought it and drove in the Sunset District-THX-138
Green Onions!
I ❤ This Movie.
The best riff in music history
Steve and Booker.
Wait a minute....Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy So are you trying to tell me that there is a American Graffiti Cinematic Universe? Before a MCU?
"Alright toad, well take'em, well take'em all
Milner has side pipes, yet at the beginning exhaust is seen coming straight out the back
The side pipes are capped reducing the exhaust noise. He uncaps them for his race with Falfa. You can hear the difference when his backing out of the garage just before the race. That was long before the fancy electronic exhaust cutouts a lot of people run these days.
Great movie
Awesome movie
Charles Martin Smith, minha grande paixão de infância e juventude.🤩😍🥰❤️🔥
Hey i remember watching this when I was a bit younger
Love that movie that was film in my hometown Petaluma, C.A
Same time the movie was made I was racing my 69 Plymouth Roadrunner.
That sound at 1:07 still gives me ptsd from my crash in the 80s!! 😬
If Chewbacca was driving he would of win
Now......Milner uncapped the headers about 1/2 hour prior to arriving at Paradise Road. At the 46 second mark the exhaust is coming out of the tailpipes. When & why did Milner cap the headers????????
I love that music that I hear was Green Onions when I was a 7 year old child since 2008
Milner had him but Falfa was coming hard. Spinning the tires is part of the race Falfa should drive better.
Milner was clearly winning, the actor said he never liked how he acted or was told to act after the race, he said the real Milner wouldn’t have acted how he was portrayed
スゲエ いい音😘
IT was a good feeling when you rolled bach into town with a W😅😅
Another car that crashes, wheels are just painted silver not chromed. And a third car that explodes. Look carefully at 1:55, rear fender not cut up wheelhouse and the car is a hardtop fitted with what is supposed to look like a pillar. Also, efter the crash the trunk is open but when it explodes it´s closed.
You have a good eye for detail s! Thanks
I noticed these things to, especially the open trunk, then when she exploded the trunk is closed.
The 55’ was a privately owned car the gentleman was from the nor cal area if I remember correctly he wasn’t too keen already with the first race just because it was a no prep surface with a built big block.
Old Adobe Highway....outside of Petaluma...
Loved this scene, however, the odds of both parties surviving a high-speed double rollover at all were limited. The odds of both walking away with barely a scratch are stacked way against.
But great movie, great scene, and beautiful cars
Reminds me of my high school days, we would race all night until only 2 were left then go out and settle to see who had the fastest car, back then if you're rival got into an accident you would stop and help him out it was common courtesy.
Milner had him.
He always did
Yeap, That's how I seen it. Milner won the drag race here.
Nope.... another 3 seconds he was moving in.....then snap......so ya he got um but the heavy Chevy was closing.......
Yes he did.
I don't know if there is a movie I have watched more often than AG. But after reading some stuff online, I am starting to believe that Falfa blew a tire prior to crashing. There is a sound , possibly like a tire exploding, before the 55 goes out of control. Has Lucas ever addressed this, was that a sound effect just thrown in where he didn't think it might someday be diagnosed? I don't know much about cars to wager which of the two would have been the fastest. Does anyone think, a blow tire cost Falfa the race cause Milner, for sure, thought he was going to come out on the short end.
There’s a paperback novel called the complete American graffiti. It has two parts. Part one is American graffiti and part two is more American Grafitti. In the novel, it describes Falfa’s tire blowing. Just before it blew, The novel describes Milners car being in fourth gear foot flat on the floor with nothing left, and the 55 beginning to pull away. Originally, I thought the novel was an expanded script, but apparently it came out after the movie. I have no idea of the novels origins. The novelization does seem to follow what you see in the car race, from a visual standpoint.
@@christiansoldier1968 I've had that novel and you're right. It stated that Falfa blew a tire. I've seen the book described as a novelization of the screenplay. I think it came out in 1979 to help promote the release of More AG. Had a lot of great detail, explaining different things. What I found shocking at the end of the novel was who was in the car that was the drunk driver that killed Milner!!
@@wilburross9709 yes,...not exactly Dicken's, but I found that scene to be very well written. When the reader can "see" the scene in their mind, then the writer has done their job.
Milner was ahead, easy win for the coupe. In 62, both would have had similar SBC 327-based engines, but the 55 was 1000 lbs heavier... and a passenger. But the 55 was the reworked Two Lane Blacktop car that had a 427 and might have won, but not in 62
First time i saw Harrison Ford - and he was a dorg in the movie
Quando a globo pssava filme bom rs..
Can't believe penguin0 dad is going to make another 32 Ford coupe. That shit going look mean as hell
I,m dedicating This Scene To My Dear Lovely friend Dawn Dydble
The MonoSterio of Green Onions is just perfect
John got him off the line, other dude was catching before the slip n slide....did John really beat him? John though he was losing.......nice upload..👉🏻☝️
Even though he lost the 55 Chevy, Harrison got the Millennium Falcon in the next movie.
The crash the trunk came open whit it bursted in flames the trunk eas closed 😂
was this filmed very early in the morning? "blue hour" or what it's called. I love the ambience of this scene
Miss Williams looks pretty here.
And today? Candy's fine.
She was 25 at the time but still looked convincing as a 17 year old.
1930s Hot Rod
Now look how that 55 Chevy nose dives into the dirt, then it rolls over resting on its roof, car was still.not wrecked up and the roof didn't even collapse held up the whole car. That's how well they used to build cars. Take a car built today that had done that it would have been totally wasted.
The 55 rolled over wheels are different, obvious different car.
I remember going with my pops to drag in his Vicky
The 55 Chevy lost control for no reason, then it has brake failure and he steers the car to the ramp that George Lucas built from scrap lumber. 😂😂😂
About Right Time Meet The Devile ❤ That Night Went All Or Nothing Can Two For 1 Break The Sob This Time ?
In the end, if Falfa would have had better tires on that car, he would have won the race. That poor traction killed him, and likely caused the tire to blow.
That's why Milner earlier said he was stupid
Tire didn't blow. Driver rear tire squatted half race cause he lose control and the swerve caused tire to squat
That's street racing. Know ur car and know the road
@@80steen44He said he was stupid because he ran a red light.
@@slimbrady6691 He said he was stupid because he could tell by his personality that he didn't know how to handle a car in a race. Had John wanted to keep racing him he woulda ran the red light too but he knew his own car wasn't ready to win at random so he used the red light as an excuse to bail until his vehicle was souped up
That 55 chevy had a 454 in it and could do 11 second quarter mile. No way that ford could realistically beat it lol
Car heavier, he spun tires , Milner lite and quick, plus top mechanic, He was catching up to him & Milner knew it . Great movie, America at its best .
@@dougtheviking6503 it's a shame they killed him off in #2..
Maybe in real current time frame but 454 NEVER existed in movie time frame!
Milners coupe has a 327 SBC in it
@@vjakejan Yep. At the time the biggest Chevy block was the 348/409. No 454 until 1970.
The 55 Chevy was the same car in 2 lane black top
While I like the 32 Ford I love 55 Chevys. The Chevy was beating John before the accident and he knew it.
🧢
Paul Le Mat confirmed that John was winning
Paul LeMat said that Milner was winning the race. He said Milner just thought he was losing because he had been worried about someone new coming along beating him for so long, that when he was finally in a close race, he believed he was losing even though it was obvious to everyone else that he was winning.
👏👏👏

That coupe didn't have enough for that L88
Should have stayed behind the wheel of the Millennium Falcon!
Great scene.... but I NOW noticed that the 55 shiverlay that cashed is NOT the same one that raced.
Movie magic. ...and a shoestring budget. :)
^^^@Daniel J .. Man you got's to learn how to spell Ha!!! :P] .v ..
@@boostfiend $666,666.00 was the budget....Lucas - Freemason
Research it. Yes 2 different 55's. 3 actually in entire movie. 1 was camera cat. 1 was other scenes. 1 was drag car that was gutted to reduce weight. The roller over was several attempts and never did roll completely. They hoisted it over. 2 stunt drivers couldn't get it to roll. The upside down 55 was the same one used in 2 Lane Blacktop, was redone for American Graffiti drag car only. That's why it looks so different than the rest throughout the movie.
What was the apecs on milners couple i know its a chevy small block 283 or 327 350 didnt come in until 1967. Falfas chevy looks like a 454 i am guessing or a 396 ?
The Deuce had a 327. As for the 55, I think they used a couple of different cars with different engines. If I remember correctly, the '55 that the interior shots were filmed in had a 454. The '55 filmed in the exterior shots had a 427.
That's one of the reasons you never see them pop the hood of the '55 in the movie. The big block and fiberglass tilt front end are a few years 'too new' for when this movie is supposed to be taking place. Lucas was enough of a car guy that he wasn't going to let an error like that in his movie

But he still won. Doesn't matter how.
rm125, Well, not for another couple of years, to be accurate.
Yeap, he still beat the odds. Still number one till a drunk driver hit him and killed him on the road. Hated to see John Milner cash in like that.
Nope, he was winning. Paul LeMat himself said that he was winning.
