FILM DESCRIPTION:
On the last day of summer vacation in 1962, friends Curt (Richard Dreyfuss), Steve (Ronny Howard), Terry (Charles Martin Smith) and John (Paul Le Mat) cruise the streets of small-town California while a mysterious disc jockey (Wolfman Jack) spins classic rock'n'roll tunes. It's the last night before their grown-up lives begin, and Steve's high-school sweetheart, a hot-to-trot blonde, a bratty adolescent and a disappearing angel in a Thunderbird provide all the excitement they can handle.

"Wow. He's really fast isn't he. Yea. But he's stupid" that is such a true statement.

[@Locadel2003]

One of the best early roles of Harrison Ford career

[@danbongard3226]

"Your car is uglier than I am!... that didn't come out right." More than anything, that's the line that made me fall in love with this movie.

[@trenttrip6205]

I love Harrison Ford doing the Jim face when she says that

[@Zwei4815]

That Harrison kid is going places.

[@MarklovesAngels]

I wish they'd done more with the character in the cowboy hat. The guy seemed like a good actor too. Oh well.

[@markg7030]

He had potential. Wonder where he is now?

[@HeyStalker...]

​@@markg7030honestly I can't 🤣😭

[@WinslowLeach1974]

He reprised his role briefly in the American Graffiti sequel (as a cop!), but after that, it's a mystery.

[@marshallford9892]

😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂

[@SpiritsOfAnotherDay]

One of his best roles.

[@wilburross9709]

I always liked the careful placement of the songs. Street racing to "Do You Wanna Dance?" About as good as it gets!

[@Jaystub]

yep, and the wolfman howl right as they stage at the light. The movie is such a masterpiece.

[@WinslowLeach1974]

The scene is done so well, that you know even after Falfa blows through the light, it ain't over quite just yet.

[@harrassmentpanda6736]

"Yeahh but he's Stoopid." Dude killed that part

[@timburr4453]

something very authentic, organic about this.

[@jesseward568]

The formula hadn't been established for teen films. They were free

[@nathanhenry2999]

such a cool movie with john milner played by paul Le mat

[@lonelycubicle]

Fave scene, fun to run through what brought Harrison Ford’s character to that point

[@N-wordScissorhands]

I always wondered what he would’ve actually ran in that car, because the mk 4 big blocks hadn’t come out yet. I’d guess either a 348 or 409. That car sounds so good.

[@lonelycubicle]

@@N-wordScissorhands Somewhere in the comments someone gave all the specs

[@Francine.larabee.timmins.ont.]

Love both cars

[@ANOCKS]

@@Francine.larabee.timmins.ont. can you believe they are now owned by the same person. All it takes is money honey

[@A65Driver]

Anyone who has street raced in the old days, understand this scene

[@goodroot76]

Wasn’t til seeing this that I realized Harrison Ford and Steve Martin resemble eachother

[@hillbillyhitman8506]

Falfa's car is one of the leftover '55 Chevy's from the movie "Two Lane Blacktop". It had either a 427ci or 454ci Big Block engine which didnt exist in the Era this movie was set in.

[@N-wordScissorhands]

I think out of the three, two of them had 454s and this one had the 427.

[@spockistheman]

This is a definite classic.

[@lancearp7389]

Greatest movie ever

[@shanekilpatrick3378]

That Chevy could do the Kessel Run in 11 Parsecs.

[@timothydoyle4122]

that is the best racing scene.

[@PauloHernandezXD]

1:56 - 2:38 More exciting than any Fast & Furious movies after Tokyo Drift, tbh :3

[@emrakultheaeonstorn7430]

Sometimes I watch Milner vs Falfa and the Supra vs Charger videos all in one go

[@danieltossounian1962]

They were like gunfighters of the old West talking sh@#$ and showing off …beautiful…

[@rustyshackleford1877]

The best 4 minutes that's ever been recorded

[@arturoalejandromartinezgal2073]

Puedes ver esta escena mil veces y darte cuenta lo que es Cine en mayúsculas. Lo visual acompañado de un diálogo/guión tan realista como genial para retratar una época y hacerte sentir nostálgico. Magia 💫 que tenía el cine de antes...

[@bridgecross]

Ah, the 60's. When you could go drag racing without seat belts and a 12 year old girl by your side, and nobody says boo.

[@theeasterbundy6056]

02:32 he made the jump to lightspeed

[@lukesil7887]

Falfas 55 Chevy sounds awesome!

[@ANOCKS]

327 with a cam, headers, a tunnel ram and duel quads

[@lathynnelms5874]

[@ANOCKS]

@@lathynnelms5874 what did I say about the car? I don't even remember

[@sallypope7871]

I had such a crush on Ron Howard. After seeing this, I decided I was in love with Paul!

[@alecnorthrup3645]

Here’s Like Han Solo or Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) WE LOVE YOU 🥰❤️

[@wombatwilly1002]

327 Chev in MIlner's and a 454 in Falfa's 55...!

[@Iggywiggywoo]

This movie isn’t on Disney+ but I think it should be!

[@franciscs1604]

2:20 That is *definitely* the most *authentic* V8-engine roar I’ve ever heard in a movie so far… Other than *”Fast & Furious”* , that is…

[@closertotheheart]

Falfa's car did the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.

[@spockistheman]

Milner had all he could handle in Falfa’s 55. In real life it’s not even a race. That 55 was the real deal.

[@dirtfan05]

Not true. That '32 is over 1,000 pounds lighter, on paper the '55 should get it's doors blown off.

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

@@dirtfan05 you're not even close man . That's the '55 from Two Lane Blacktop , not only is it gutted , it has a fiberglass flip front end and doors with plexiglass windows in them . 1000 lbs no way , more like 650 lbs .

[@paulciprus9582]

It’s a drivers race….Milner’s been racing a lot longer….he knows what he’s doing……55 gets out of sorts off the line….32 hooks and goes….Milner’s got more experience…..Falfa’s a newbie…..55 is a tub….big block is heavy…tube axle ..probably doesn’t have drag shocks in front….Milner’s the better driver…😀

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

@@paulciprus9582 you've made a lot of assumptions , now here's the facts of the matter . Front suspension on the '55 consists of coil over shocks and a four bar to locate the axle . That heavy big block has aluminum heads on it to drop weight . Not only was the car gutted , it also was fitted with a fiberglass frontend and doors , plus plexiglass windows bringing it's weight down to around 2850 lbs . Milner's car weighs in around 2200-2250 lbs . Early Ford suspension sucks big time when it comes to racing , watch closely, there's little to no weight transfer when he launches . Milner even admitted to Toad that he was getting beaten .

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

@@paulciprus9582 Thank you for the history lesson that I of all people don't require . However you're a bit mistaken on your time line . There were Corvettes with aluminum heads before '62 . Fiberglass body parts were very much available for '55-'57 Chevies in the early sixties , as evidenced by the replacement fenders on my next door neighbor's '57 Belair. The die cast model of the '55 was made with a dual quad 409 under a flip front end . I'm surprised that you haven't tried to claim BS about the coilovers . But maybe you already knew about " Ohio " George Montgomery showing up at the 1960 U.S. Nationals with AC Delco coilovers under the front of his Willys gasser .

[@petesolo70]

That 55 Chevy is fast, but it can’t make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

[@seankim884]

Looks like a john hughes movie.
