Check out my car styling blog: stylingcarsblog.blogspot.com Red and Goody lie in wait for T & L outside a diner, fire off some welcoming rounds and give chase. Lightfoot looses Goody’s tough old Merc in the hills, but trashes the Riv’s tranny. Later, on foot, they manage to hitch a ride from a insane redneck who likes huffing Mopar exhaust fumes. They survive the wild ride and a rollover to find the rednecks glass jaw and his boot full of hares. Lightfoot finds a going away gift from a raccoon.
remember not to pick your teeth !
put the whole movie up!
JEFF BRIDGES is one of my favorite actor !! Is not well known but such a great actor ! Direct heritage from the best of the 40, 50 ! is not in the culture of Actor’s Studio, but from more natural play
At 1:44 you can see a Panavision camera in the backseat and a mannequin in the passenger seat.
eagle bait………poor rabbits. they really scared the shit out of that first one they shot the blanks at…LOL
good thing they had an off-road car….
The crazy driver cracks me up so much. I cannot even think about this scene without laughing.
I want that Fury so badly…
1974
I always liked Kennedy……..great actor. What year was this movie?
Fitst saw on cable and scared shit out of me as a kid but grew to like it.
Yeah, I wasn’t a big fan of the ‘05 remake, either. But yeah, Bridges, Lange and Charles Grodin were great. IDK why ppl didn’t like it. I was very young, but I remember my parents taking us kids to go see that in ‘76.
Jessica Lange’s big break. A lot of peole have said that movie was not very good. I have always liked it and better than 05 remake by Peter Jackson IMO.
Yeah, nothing like 3 tons of steel haulin’ ass and rollin’ over with rabbits. *lol*
I’ve always liked Kennedy, too. He has played some great tough bad-ass characters over the years.
Funny you had mentioned Bridges in ‘KIng Kong’ (1976) he was underrated as hell in that.
Love the old school movie car chases. Classic movie. Jeff and Clint = the best.
my favorite of all time…
Classic clip of a classic MOPAR !!!
God, I wish they made cars like that agian !
That car trip with the Redneck has to be the funniest clip I have ever seen in a film. Priceless! Between the ultra-high rear suspension of the car, the noise of the V8 shifting through the gears as the exhaust fumes pour into the passenger area, and after the car flips a few times, Clint’s classic line “What the hells the matter with you, ‘boy?” as yer man swings the shotgun at him. Almost pissed myself laughing watching that again!! Brilliant!
Man, I sure wish I had that sweet ‘51 Merc coupe! I remember when the movie was new and I cringed when I saw how the car was treated!
oscar winner George Kennedy was in this. BTW I like what he says to an 8 year old boy.
