I loved the screeching of the tires when they were in the sand. Most people don't know that rubber tires make more noise on sand then they do on pavement. It's sometimes almost deafening.
Makes me miss the built 1958 Vette I had for awhile in 1972. It definitely did not sound like an Austin Healey 6 cylinder. Fun movie though for car guys.
Got a group of old Rodders over and watched this the other night , haven't laughed that hard in years . This could turn into one of the biggest cult movies of all times .
I love the fact that the nutty girl sitting on the trunk of the Vette didn't have any sunglasses on. No way in hell she could keep her eyes open at those speeds.
8:33 - "Tom, we've got to get away from them..... can you TRY?" Tom picks it up from 50 to a blistering 55 mph "That should lose those young whippersnappers" 😆😆😆
this clip is as bad ass as it gets lol, have now watched it 5 times today alone, never gets old, ( remember seeing this movie in the 80's on regular TV) back again, May 14th 2024, lol
I loved this movie when I first saw it on a 15" color tv in the late 1960s about 10 or 11yo. The Corvette must have burnt 1/2 quart of oil in the first scene alone. Yes, tires can actually squeal in certain types of sand/gravel and they always do in Hollywood.
Ernie - Same here! I watched this on our new 24 inch color TV in the summer of 1968 when I was 10 years old! I remember thinking that the acting was awful but the action was great. Wow, does this bring back memories!
P.S. - It's hard to believe that the actor who played the dad, the late Dana Andrews, had won an Oscar for best actor 20-something years earlier. The director of Hot Rods to Hell must have told him to leave his acting chops at the door when he made this one! Still, I love this movie the same way I love movies like "Road House" -- they're so bad they're GOOD!
No, but she' co-stars in 'More' (1971). Its the story of a heroin addict and his gf, set in Morocco and the Pink Floyd do the soundtrack. Which is f'ing awesome, btw. film sucks, she's an awful actress but the music!!!
"Honey, if only you had let me get the '61 Fury with the 413cid 375hp 2x4bbl Short Ram engine like I wanted to... But Noooo.. you wanted to stick with the Belvedere 235cid slant six... "
It also meant something or someone being a real bummer as in "being a drag", not a man in women's clothes, although I'm sure that meaning was around then also.
I remember watching this as a kid. This cheesy crappy movie with all the bad acting, Munster's sped up film technique, and dorky story line, did nothing to stop me from falling head over heels in love with the 1959 Corvette. I found one years later at a used car lot. Yes, it was a pile of junk, but I loved it none the less. That car was le meilleur.
The vette sounds more like a blue flame 136. I had one in my Great Grandmas '55 2-door post Bel-Air coupe. Awesome car. Smooth and quiet straight 6. Whatever's in that vette they did some serious engine damage from the looks of all the oil smoke!
Holly shnnezle ! I remember this movie when I was a kid , awesome ! I remember watching it several times . When got a little older , 10th grade I bought a 68 Torino 390 GT me and my buddies did our own Hot Ridding to Hell , I totaled it bummer . I wasn't alone though my friend took out 80 feet of chain link fence in his 68 383 Roadrunner another buddy wrecked his 64 Cobra speced 289 Ford Falcon we had fun though . Thanks for the memories .
Love this so much it moves me to tears of joy. Needs a remake but less cheesy and more serious and violent. Would be a Guaranteed summer box office hit imo.
Dana Andrews at 8:30 just might be greatest cornball actor ever. I like the orgasmic blond and the troubled teen guy as well. "............"Tom! We've got to get away from them" . "Can you try" This is as conball as it gets, I love it.
What happened to the front bumpers of those hellish hotrods? That black 56 Chev is a dandy. I had a bumperless 55. Less weight more air cirkalatin under ma hood

@@TheOzthewiz my grandfather hid a Corvette one time do it about 70 miles per hour while hauling 120000 tons of freight with an old steam engine he told me one time when that Corvette try to beat him at the railroad crossing that Corvette didn't stand a chance that thing disintegrated into a t z 1000 pieces give or take couldn't find the driver and yet my grandfather had to stop what's took at least 3 miles to come to a complete stop this was back in 1959 they found bits and pieces of the Corvette it was attached to that cow catcher of the locomotive and they went and searched for more pieces and they could not find the driver.
...my Dad took the family to the drive-in to see this film when I was about 12. It was hammy and had a preachy message about the dangers of drinking and driving, but we loved it...
loved the movie as a youth, I always remembered when went to California for vacation my dad was ex marine and always had guns with him, I am sure he would have opened fire, I wanted to see that in this movie
Surprised this guy didn’t do it himself. Any Marine would’ve whipped the grin off that kids face at the gas station though. Him and his buddies would soon find out that they’re not as tough as they think they are.
Mimsy Farmer I love you!! So hot have almost all her movies one of my all time favorites!! Hot Rods to Hell is one of the great old time car chasing type movies! Excellent tongue-in-cheek sixties type movie love it!
That dent in the back fender of that grey Chevy pickup at 6:42 just matches the height of the ‘61 Plymouth’s front fender… I’m guessing this was take number two. 😀
I love how in the end, the teens are defeated by their lack of safe driving skills, and the inability to see that something isn't moving until it's practically right in front of em, looks like the family had the last laugh.

Wait a minute. I love this movie, but the road in the direction the family CAME from...dead ends? Check it out beginning at 1:38, where the hot-rodders turn around. Where the hell did the family drive in from, the twilight zone?
That chopped to hell Vette is smoking pretty bad. Time for a $19.99 ring and bearing kit from JC Whitney. Go all out and get the local parts store to do a valve job for $36.99. Remember real parts stores? Just the other day a little girl at O'Reilly told me a stop,turn,tail light bulb did not exist for a 2000 Buick Century. I anticipated this and already knew the part number.
Real parts stores had only men working there, smelled like smoke, and had six feet worth of catalogs on the counter instead of computers. We paid in cash or on account, bought metal or cardboard cans of oil, and had trusted brand names in mind before we even walked in the door. The employees actually knew what breaker points, glass fuel pump bowls, and bias ply tires were, could hand-make brake and fuel lines, and worked on their own cars, too. Real parts stores sold rebuild kits for carburetors, master and wheel cylinders, and engines, all the things people just replace today. They could always recommend a place to have a radiator soldered, a gas tank boiled out, brake drums turned, valves and cranks ground, or a flywheel surfaced.... if they didn't do those things themselves. I miss those days and would gladly trade every Advance Auto, Auto Zone, and O'Reilly on earth to go back to them.
My dad's 1961 Super Fury Plymouth had a 318 and 4 barrel carb and automatic. Ie 260 HP rated beast. This movie has a 6 cylinder probably since a Belvidere? In upper Michigan of the Mitten ( not the UP) on a safe and sane no speed limit road he tested the top speed as 118 mph. With several of us kids in the car. It had no seatbelts in back and had 2 in the front as optional stuff Us kids never told mom about that until decades later. Before the test run we got the tire pressures correct . Dad sold the car for 100 bucks in 1968. The spark plug on the passenger side firewall would foul every 2 weeks so we just got quick to swap out that plug. The floor in drivers side rusted out due to Detroits road salts so a patch panel was added. When in Indiana at a shipyard my dad ran he parked too close to the rail spur one Saturday. He just stopped by to check on some matters. Rail deliveries were never on Saturdays usually. The train engineer with a few cars of steel plate completely stopped and got out to see if he could pass. He Got in and proceeed. and part of the train broke both door handles on one side of the 4 door 1961 Plymouth. So we got spares from a junkyard in Owensboro Kentucky across the river. The door panels were not hurt at all..so the train must have just kissed the door handles. It was a black car . No ac. It had the new Chrysler alternator! In Birmingham michigan a neighbor was involved with the media stunt of Detroit to Chicago with no battery. Ie the 1961 Fury just used its alternator. What us weird about this movie is if the our old one would probably have dusted many of these hot rods. On I75 in Michigan we had the ski rack pop off while going 80 plus. The new steel edge skis sparking at night on the concrete. We found all 6 pairs of ski by flashlights before they got run over. Took about an hour. The 1961 Plymouth is a great car at high speeds
That's the most clean-cut renegades I've ever seen. It's like watching Mad Max at the Hamptons!
Spect Ator too funny Spect. Still laughing here!
Such hoods.
Yay them kids didn't even look like thugs more like prepys

This not only happens to Mustang drivers. All other cars with incompetent drivers.
i saw this when i was a kid. and i loved it. now i just like seeing the old cars.
seeing those old cars is like going back in time !
you know how pictures work?
The steering on those old Corvettes is like driving a speedboat.

My dad's 1961 Super Fury Plymouth had a 318 and 4 barrel carb and automatic. Ie 260 HP rated beast. This movie has a 6 cylinder probably since a Belvidere?
In upper Michigan of the Mitten ( not the UP) on a safe and sane no speed limit road he tested the top speed as 118 mph. With several of us kids in the car. It had no seatbelts in back and had 2 in the front as optional stuff
Us kids never told mom about that until decades later. Before the test run we got the tire pressures correct
. Dad sold the car for 100 bucks in 1968. The spark plug on the passenger side firewall would foul every 2 weeks so we just got quick to swap out that plug. The floor in drivers side rusted out due to Detroits road salts so a patch panel was added.
When in Indiana at a shipyard my dad ran he parked too close to the rail spur one Saturday. He just stopped by to check on some matters. Rail deliveries were never on Saturdays usually. The train engineer with a few cars of steel plate completely stopped and got out to see if he could pass. He Got in and proceeed. and part of the train broke both door handles on one side of the 4 door 1961 Plymouth. So we got spares from a junkyard in Owensboro Kentucky across the river. The door panels were not hurt at all..so the train must have just kissed the door handles.
It was a black car . No ac. It had the new Chrysler alternator!
In Birmingham michigan a neighbor was involved with the media stunt of Detroit to Chicago with no battery. Ie the 1961 Fury just used its alternator.
What us weird about this movie is if the our old one would probably have dusted many of these hot rods.
On I75 in Michigan we had the ski rack pop off while going 80 plus. The new steel edge skis sparking at night on the concrete. We found all 6 pairs of ski by flashlights before they got run over. Took about an hour.
The 1961 Plymouth is a great car at high speeds
