my older brother was on leave from the Marine Corp, when this movie came out. He took my younger brother and I to see this movie at the drive in, we laughed the whole time.
This is a classic Roger Corman semi-'shoe string' budget action film. A fun romp with a very young Ron Howard around the time American Graffiti was filmed. Thanks for posting. -Liked & subscribed !
I like these old movies because of the way they look. Pretty much they look way better than most movies nowadays. Practical effects and no CG makes the movie more memorable because I’ve seen a Stunt Show. The Show included Motorcycle Stunts done by real people and not robots. I’ve been to car shows with Muscle Cars they were beautiful and have been on my mind for years 🩷
Yes we saw this movie in 1977 at the old Hydia theatre on Kingsway just past Knight street I think it was about $2.75 or so to see it don't know if its still there or not the good old days!
Ron Howard sure had a thing for cars. This, Grand Theft Auto, American Graffiti, Happy Days. Although it's hard to think this was made 3 years after American Graffiti.
David Grisman did the music. He was so embarrassed by the movie he entitled the main tune EMD because he didn't want to let people know the name of the movie.
This is one of the first car chase movies and one of the best. Opie Cunninghams first starring role. Just shows how far a guy will go for a girl in hotpants. Thanks Terry." Take off you Hoser eh".
It's fun 👍, but I think _Vanishing Point_ '71, _Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry_ '74, _Gone in 60 Seconds_ '74, and _Return to Macon County_ '75 were a little better. Just my opinion.
Always preferred Ron Howard being in front of the camera. He was a good actor, but the lure of directing became too strong, although he did become one of Hollywood's top directors. The following year he both starred & directed another chase movie 'Grand Theft Auto', his directional debut. Would have done directing full time much sooner but playing Ritchie Cunningham from 'Happy Days' proved too good an opportunity to miss.

One of the best co-stars of the movie is the boom microphone.

Great Movie
It has survived the test of time, it was good.
R.I.P Roger Corman
Thank for sharing this great movie Eat my dust.
I get the impression that this movie inspired the Dukes of Hazzard series some years later on
I remember my Friends and I sneaking into the Kenmahr Drive In to see this movie when it first came out .
Dingy-dang-hang and shuckey-darn, the whole gol-durn movie was a car chase, but gollleee! It shore wuz fun!
Yayy!!!! I last saw this on tv a few decades ago..my favorite scene? At the gas station where he flim-flams the pump attendant by asking for 'change'

myself has been to vancouver many times of years ago very nice country
I can remember my dad taking me to the drive in theatre to see this movie .
I just want to see the part where Dave Madden says "shit on a twisty stick".

Juat watched clint Howard play a murderer in the ice cream man.
this was my childhood movie, my siblings destroyed the vhs tape because i watched it too much
Great music by David Grisman and his buddies.
For sure. Love thus man's music
So this is technically a longer car chase than Gone in 60 Seconds (1974), by almost double
Never seen so many “props” get crashed into. At least he got a root.
great movie very funny

I knew he did the music, but I didn't know that's why he named it that

They all like the car not the rider😎
Here after Conan
After this I’d say Ron Howard sucks!
Bad movie, a complete waste of time and money.
its kind of smokey and the dukes rolled into one
