The Hollywood Knights
So I purchase the DVD earlier this week and finally watched it. Now I saw it when it first came out and a few times since, but never noticed until now. The time set for the movie is Halloween night, 1965. They insert an 8 track cartridge into a player (they just became available for autos at that time) and on comes California Dreamin' by The Mamas and Papas. Only problem is, the song wasn't even recorded then, much less released. Oh well, Michelle Pfeiffer is such a cutie...

Yeah, sometimes continuity goes right down the drain with many movies. There's probably even more if you carefully go thru it again.

How is the song in the movie if the movie came out in 80 and the song was recorded in 88? What am i missing?
|
I got my friend to watch it when it was on regular tv a few years ago, they edited out a lot of the good scenes.

The song was released give or take a month later. At the end of the day its only the diehards that notice. Still a great movie, and I knew/know one of the actors Randy Gornel who drove the '65 GTO. He burnt the clutch during filming, and got his ass chewed out because of it. My buddy ended up buying the "Hollywood Knights" car club jacket that Randy wore in the movie, and still has it hung up in his memorabilia room to this day. |

Love that film. The one DJ, Bearman , was a DJ at WZZO in Allentown until his passing about 2 years ago. Great voice and a heckof a guy.
|
My favorite movie. It was Michelle Pfeiffer's film debut.
plas a 1079 Mazda GLC drives by then Nubomb is stuffing the arm in the back of the El Camino. Don't critique the movie. Just watch it and laugh. |
Yes!
just enjoy and remenber good old days!!!! |
I try to watch it at least once annually. Fun movie!
|
I wasn't bashing the movie. It's just useless trivia stuffed in my brain.

Just to blow your mind further, the movie California Dreaming came out a year earlier than The Hollywood Knights. That's kind of why I remember when the song originally came out as I liked the song and researched it. It was an odd movie that had another cutie Tanya Roberts. |

please nobody take this as a jab;
But I was three when this movie came out, so I have never seen it. I do occasionally look for "car" movies, and I have come across this one, but have never read any really good reviews for it. This along with Tony Danza(!?) and the IMDB rating made me think this was a "pass"... Back when I was in high school, my brothers and I would go to the video rental store and look for "car" movies - most were terrible, but on occasion one was good. One that I never was able to fully watch - because the tape ate itself early on - was "Eat my Dust" (I had to look it up just now, and found it because of the guy from Happy Days - I couldn't remember Ron Howard's name!). |
That's a good movie...
|
No one could/should forget the Newbomb Turk's special rendition of VOLARE!

Used to watch it every Halloween. The yellow '57 was Popular Hotroddings Project X. If you watch when he is racing the Cobra there is a puff of smoke that goes over the 57s roof. They blew the engine on that run.

That punch tastes like its got a little wang in it,,,lolllol

I have never heard of this movie until I saw this thread . I was on the fence renting it because Danza is hard to stomach but I’m glad I watched it ! I’m surprised this is never on .

His acting worked great for 'Who's the boss', but that was a terrible 1980's comedy... I also did not know that he drove 'project x' in the movie - the first link in this thread about 'project x' left me scratching my head - until that last video was shared. I haven't closely followed 'project x', but I knew about it because it was in several magazines that I bought while in high school (read: in the 1990's). |

You're probably too young to know the TV show "Taxi", Danza at his finest??? You should be old enough to have seen Lucky's Garage/Hot Rod Garage where Project X resurfaces. You'll have to find/watch those. |
I know Taxi - and honestly I forgot about his role in that show probably because he had a much smaller role in that show;
several others in the cast made that show. I don't subscribe to specialty paid streaming service outside of netflix; IIRC Hot Rod Garage was one of those shows that you got when you paid for access to Hot Rod TV (or something along those lines) |
They actually made it an EV car in 2021. :rolleyes: I don't think GM is the brightest bulb in the box. GM, stay away from EV engines in classic cars.
And recently changed to the biggest GM Chevy engine made... the XX632 Big Block. Now it's a real car again. :D And keep Danza away from it. ;) He can't handle 1004hp, or a manual tranny if it's still in it. |
I would take a Briggs and Stratton over an EV. But personally think the blown small block is the perfect motor for the car.
|
I watched The Highriders from 1978 on youtube the other night. The star of the movie is a roached out '68 Firebird with a 'ported and relieved 427' under the hood. LOL....
It was worth the watch, if you're into old, campy, bad biker or hot rod flicks. |
