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.

Everyone should have a friend like Toad,,, but, not many Deserve one like him... 😜🤣🤘

Good post! I had a friend like him in the early 1980's in high school. He looked somewhat like Toad, but my friend was a lot taller. The cool thing, he was never a jerk, always in a good mood, and he was always up for anything on a Friday or Saturday night. For me, those were the good old days!

Falfa's 55 Chevy is 1 of 3 in the movie. 1 for cruising scenes 1 for camera car and 1 stripped to reduce weight for racing scenes. This is the race car version, which was the same car used from 2 Lane Blacktop and the same car used for the Trans am sound effects in Smokey And The Bandit. 2 stunt men couldnt roll this car, so the crew put it upside down. Notice the trunk lid before and after fire. Open then closed. When camera pans to front when Milner is moving Falfa around back of car, look on left side of upside down car floor beside frame. Theirs a box wrench left there by a crew member. Cindy and Ron's love scene was improved, as they were dressed ready to go home, when producer got them to the site as their "twilight hour" was fading.

One of the best scenes from the movie and one of the many iconic of Harrison Ford career

@seanhoward8025 11 ай бұрын

The movie was shot in Petaluma, not Modesto, but all the references in the movie are about Lucas’ hometown of Modesto. Going to watch the re-release on Sunday at the State Theater in Modesto, a couple of blocks from 10th & 11th Streets, the cruise featured in the film.

The name "Modesto" sounded familiar, and that's where I realized that it's the town the Universal Life Church was founded in.

When John's car at 1:06 filps over the roar of the engine _ sounds like a combination of a lion/grizzly bear. Everything I see this scene and here it that's what it sounds like to me. Anyone agree??? _ please tell either way thank you.

The best part of the remastered movie was the improved sound. There's only so much you can do with the original film, but the soundtrack is much improved...and the music is sooooo important to this movie! 👌

After the roll over, there’s just enough of the movie shot, that shows, they don’t make cars like they used to! There doesn’t seem to be a dent in the fenders and the last time I rolled a car, there was grass and weeds sticking out everywhere. But on the 55, the tires looked ruff, but not bad, and one blade of weed lying on the bottom of the 55. Lol I can fix it!

Killed by a drunk driver. Touched upon that with Carole in the Junkyard. Telling her about a friend who got wiped out by a drunk. Not even his fault, but paid the ultimate price. R.I.P. John Milner.

Milner won.

@Slashboss 4 ай бұрын

By far. He had a great start and a great pullaway into momentum. Falfa might woulda caught up with him but honestly he had the straighaway open which he didn't have the first time. Stop light and the girl being in the car with him messed with his head. This time no distractions and way better job started sealed it for him. Taking the reck away it wouldn't have mattered, he still woulda won. Falfa was both too full of himself and too distracted with Howard's girl in the car, but John's car pulled through there too.

@RickNethery 10 ай бұрын

He broke traction, tried to steer into it and drifted off the road. Trying to steer back up on the road caused him to turn over in the incline. Would have probably stayed upright if he had just drove out into that field instead.

I think the loud bang right before he loses traction is a tire popping.
