Scene from 'Two-Lane Blacktop'

[@alertgasper]

this probably captures a driver "in the zone" better than some of the modern movies (thinking Biker Boyz). the intense glare, the lack of noise once the window shuts everything out. It's just him in his element.

Continuity? The side window is closed before the race but at the end the hair is blowing. Did the driver open the window once he was past the point of victory?

[@alertgasper]

@@michael69040 good point! all the times i've watched this movie, didn't notice that...guess they wanted to replicate speed without the noise.

Once you are in the wind.( Going fast) Making it. To the finish line nothing matters, it's just you space and time.

[@us441south]

That El Camino was one of a very few LS6 powered Elco's in the southeast.

[@buythematicket]

Some have speculated that this was the most exciting thing James Taylor has ever done.

[@TheBlueThird]

I'm pretty sure that's mostly your own opinion.

[@hiitsstillme]

He walked that Camino, didn't have to push it.

[@baxpiz1289]

perfect movie

[@onazram1]

James Taylor banging gears...

[@allanjechorek4381]

Even traction bars didn’t help much keeping the rear end of those El Camino,s from bouncing up and down back then.

Saw this 50 years ago, age 11, at the Nuart in LA for 49c. It was so turgid and stultifying I didn't know if the film really burned or not. Either way it fit.

[@stevefick3919]

And the Oscar goes to......

[@mikeburnett7028]

Waaaay back when James Taylor was cool. Didn’t know what a liberal was back then.
