(Max) "Hey professor rise n shine"... (Fate) RISE N SHINE ! .... when you rise you shine 😂😂😂 I love this movie and yes Peter Falk is a riot & Jack Lemmon is wonderful as Professor Fate !
I still think that's one of the most beautiful automobiles ever made. One of the four Leslie Specials sold for $112,000 at an auction in Tupelo in 2019.
@@daleburrell6273 where I'm at this kinda money would make for a breezy decade with no need to work ever :D but it IS cheap for a Leslie Special of which there are only 4 imo
And the "Great Race" itself was inspiresd by the race from New York to Paris which took place in 1908. Some of the cars actually looked similar, especially the white one.
The music in this scene is so great all the scenes with Professor Fate have this same music and it's so perfect for Fate it's a brilliant musical score.
Courtney Ellis I always thought that this was the best movie ever made. It has everything. Comedy, drama, romance, slapstick, great cast, great writing, amazing music and the biggest pie fight ever put to film. It is a masterpiece directed by a genius. They could never make a movie like this today. There is too many egos in Hollywood so you would never get a cast like this ever again. Plus there are very little original ideas coming out of Hollywood, and those are weak at best. The Great Race is hands down a fantastic movie for the entire family.
Love this movie.... just like you I grew up,watching this, me & my cousin would catch it every time it was on ! 😃😂 I never miss it when it's on & if I haven't seen it in awhile I'll play the copy my son's bought me many years ago 😆 I believe Professor Fate's car The Hannibal Twin 8 is in the Peterson museum in California ✌😎 I might watch The Great Race today ! I'll grab a drink & a few hundred pies and get ready for action 😁😀😅😃😂 You guys should check out this movie..... Those Magnificent Men In the Their Flying Machines ( 1965 ) ( Almost the same deal w/ airplanes ) London to Paris air race... crazy funny, The legend Benny Hill even pops in for a few quick laughs !
Got hooked on this movie as a kid and can't count the number of times I've watched it..... The number is in the 100's like 200, 300 😆 ( Love The Professor & Max ) 😃😂😁😀😅
1. "Just don't make me nervous! Just don't make me nervous!" (repeating it) as a harried cabbie with a full deck of nuts inside, in, "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (Nov. 7, 1963 release). 2. "Here come the Marines!" --Max, in the car's rising above, blowing thick black smoke to confuse the enemies, in "The Great Race" (Jul. 1, 1965 release).
This is the best film to watch with the whole family. Comedy, yes. But also drama, adventure and romance. All wrapped up in the question that we've all asked ourselves... *_"What would Wile E. Coyote do?"_*
I love The Great Race! When I was very young, I saw it at Radio City Music Hall, probably around when it was first released. I think it may have been the second movie I ever saw in a theater, the first being Disney's 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but shown in the sixties.
We should preface this devious and sneaky plan to spy on and/or destroy the Leslie Special car was done while riding in a blimp device marked 'FATE' on the side in big letters. Professor Fate is about as cunning as he is vain, which...tends to cancel each other out. 😁
Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk are buried just a few meters from each other, and Natalie Wood is under 100 meters away. Lemmon's headstone simply reads *JACK LEMMON* and below that *in* , the joke being an implied "the ground."
This film was supposed to be a reunion of Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, with the same hilarity they generated in "Some Like It Hot." Trouble was, they had virtually no scenes together in "Race," and the project suffered for it.
I noticed in his interview in the ACTORS STUDIO, Peter Falk was not asked about his role in THE GREAT RACE, the movie not being mentioned, it would leave me to believe he was not happy with the movie..?
This scene is a good example of signifying the contrasts between character. Tony Curtis plays a challenger who stands by his terms even if certain others don't see them the same way, while Jack Lemmon sells the schemer who goes to as much as entrepreneurial lengths for a less respectful outcome, which to him is more important than his legit achievements. Neither side see each other as more than contenders in the same cause. Then you see the lackey that Peter Falk cements, who is totally aware of his stance under Professor Fate but of nothing else. Regards, Samuel Farris.
The idea of Jack Lemon using a monocular Spyglass and Peter Falk using Binoculars is a bit droll, considering that Mr. Falk has a glass eye. I wonder if they did it this way on purpose as as an in-joke sight-gag.
Love these old comedies. The music, the exaggerated movements, sounds and expressions. Even the period "special effects" while crude by today's standards didn't detract from the scene, you know it's fake, but just don't care.
I got my own copy for 2 ( was it $3.00?) - a plastic car model of the THOMAS FLYER, the American car in the REAL New York to Paris of 1908,this Webber car doesn't quite look like it, no, it didn't. have a hood, yes, the tires were white, but the rear tires had bicycle chains on them. This movie is very much a comedy farce, it doesn't tell about the hardships the cars REALLY went through. Besides the American and the German cars, the Italian car also reached Paris (about 2 months later).
They don't make movies like that no more my God I miss those old times these movies a day too much profanity and they're not really funny unless they swear on them
The determination that Peter Falk is pedalling with as Professor Fate's faithful assistant is freaking hilarious.
Fate is played by the LEGEND Jack Lemmon!
(Max) "Hey professor rise n shine"... (Fate) RISE N SHINE ! .... when you rise you shine 😂😂😂
I love this movie and yes Peter Falk is a riot & Jack Lemmon is wonderful as Professor Fate !
Yes! And later, as Colombo, he would come back and investigate these "crimes...."....well, maybe
...that's the TRUTH...(!)
The cartoon sound effects really do add to the comedy value
The Great Race won the Oscar for best sound editing for Treg Brown, who did the sound effects for WB cartoons.
@@dannypifer362 That doesn't surprise me. I had heard the sound effects in the scene with the acoustic torpedo in The Road Runner.
2:32
The look on Tony Curtis's face when Professor Fate's dirigible blows up is more, "Oh, there he is" than actual surprise.
Great race, great film, great music and Natalie Wood strips down to her knickers - Great

only a genius could pair Jack Lemmon with Peter Falk
The inspiration for the cartoon classic 'The Wacky Races'
The professor does look like Dick Dastardly
And the "Great Race" itself was inspiresd by the race from New York to Paris which took place in 1908. Some of the cars actually looked similar, especially the white one.
I don't understand, but somehow this movie is even more hilarious as an adult.
It's like everything Blake Edwards directed is like a live-action cartoon.
"Days of Wine and Roses"?
Switch didn't quite feel like a cartoon to me.
Most of the time it works, but the rest seem to loose its Key Charm
It's basically live-action "Wacky Races".
@@DoratTheKiller Wacky Races was inspired by this movie
the parking in midair always gets me
2:30 And then it's fall 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Push the button Max.
I love the way Leslie looks up after the bomb goes off. It's like he knew that it was professor fate. 🤣
"Oh, there he is."
“Oh not to worry, it’s just the professor. Up to one of his old tricks.”
2:32 curses foiled again
The music in this scene is so great all the scenes with Professor Fate have this same music and it's so perfect for Fate it's a brilliant musical score.
This movie had me in stitches as a kid and then even more so as an adult!! I laughed so hard I was crying!!

You guys should check out this movie.....
Those Magnificent Men In the
Their Flying Machines ( 1965 )
( Almost the same deal w/ airplanes )
London to Paris air race... crazy funny, The legend Benny Hill even pops in for a few quick laughs !
Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk were definitely "lightening in a bottle" in this film. Absolutely hilarious.
I just love that Professor Fate! My kind of funny bad guy!
Push the button max. Ha ha a ha hahaha mua ha ha
And it's directed by Blake Edwards, director of several Pink Panther movies. His comic sense is superb.
Lemmon and Falk stole the film 🤣🤣
It's like Wile E. Coyote trying to capture the Rode runner with all his ACME products. Sorry if I butchered any spelling.
This music is so great.
Yessssss🤩
Credit goes to Henry Mancini. 🎶
I've always thought this would be a terrific RC blimp/dirigible.
Got hooked on this movie as a kid and can't count the number of times I've watched it.....
The number is in the 100's like 200, 300 😆 ( Love The Professor & Max ) 😃😂😁😀😅
Me too!! Skip the sedatives and watch this movie :D
Nice to see Peter Falk before became famous as the great “ Columbo”.
1. "Just don't make me nervous! Just don't make me nervous!" (repeating it) as a harried cabbie with a full deck of nuts inside, in, "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (Nov. 7, 1963 release).

I liked Peter Falk in “The Cheap Detective”, I think that was after Columbo.
ahhhhh the sweet movies...watching this on a vhs tape with my grandfather on a lazy sunday....
Loved this film as a kid Sunday afternoon roast dinner Yorkshire puddings aaahhahhhh m8t happy days Holsey67 🇬🇧
I guess Weber went from making high end cars to making backyard barbecues. 😆😆😆
The Professor can defeat Great Leslie ..but the writers won't let him🤣
Комедия просто шедевр, бомба!💟🤣👍👏💟🤣👍👏💟🤣👍👏💟🤣👍👏💟
A MOVIE FULL OF BELLY LAUGHS! You’ll want to own it. 😊
Professor Fate For Smash Bros. DLC
Now THAT'S what I want, too! 😀
This is the best film to watch with the whole family. Comedy, yes. But also drama, adventure and romance. All wrapped up in the question that we've all asked ourselves...
*_"What would Wile E. Coyote do?"_*
This film is a wondrous and funny movie.
That one-eyed Peter Falk has binoculars while two-eyed Jack Lemmon has a spyglass is such a great idea.
I luv❤❤❤❤ it and I never get bored even if I watch it again and again
"I AM PROFESSOR FATE!"
One of my all time favourites....classic
One of the greatest movies ever made. Hollywood could learn from this these days.
Credit to Dr Fate. Leslie got someone else to build his motor car. Fate designed and built his own.
From stolen parts
@@big_lizhang Yes, he managed to make components from multiple manufacturers all work together seamlessly.
@@stainlesssteelfox1 Yeah, a few manufacturers stealing from each other)
I love The Great Race! When I was very young, I saw it at Radio City Music Hall, probably around when it was first released. I think it may have been the second movie I ever saw in a theater, the first being Disney's 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but shown in the sixties.
Before there were drones :)
Wonderful film. Jack Lemmon's best performance, in my opinion. Entire cast is entertaining. Great music, too.
genial Jack Lemmon y Peter Falk
I almost needed medical attention the first time I saw this scene.
hard to fine tis movie to add to my collection, One of the best.
Movies have truly come along way.
We should preface this devious and sneaky plan to spy on and/or destroy the Leslie Special car was done while riding in a blimp device marked 'FATE' on the side in big letters. Professor Fate is about as cunning as he is vain, which...tends to cancel each other out. 😁
This movie is awesome!!! Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon did greatest roles!!!!! Laugh is guaranteed!!!!!
Kaboom!! then later at the house hahahaaa!!
I LOVE it!!!!!
Cool movie 👍

If I ever start a Formula One team, I’m naming my cars “LS01”, “LS02”, and so on to honor the Leslie Special.
Absolutely GREAT movie.
When I was a boy I saw this movie and The Great Escape. They motivated me to go see the world. I had to be convinced to come back.
An absolutely hilarious classic movie.
A phenomenal film, The casting is perfect, the whole story is fantastically silly.
love the music they play for them lol
This movie could never be made today. There is not enough talented actors, nor a talented enough director to pull it off.
That car was and probably still is, in a small museum attached to a funeral home. Saw it in the early nineties.
They survived without a parachute!
I'm crying laughing...this was my favorite scene ...
Columbo in an earlier life, I was waiting for him to say "oh professor one more thing".
...THAT bit really BOMBED...(!)
get it? get it? get it?
(snucker-snucker-snucker!!!)
Любимый фильм моего детства!
I like the little chuckle PF gives.

Blimp drops at 2:33
Not a blimp.
That sound effect of them dropping kills me every time 😂

EIN GRANDIOSER FILM
One of my favorit movies
I noticed in his interview in the ACTORS STUDIO, Peter Falk was not asked about his role in THE GREAT RACE, the movie not being mentioned, it would leave me to believe he was not happy with the movie..?
I want one of those! The pedal powered dirigible, not the car!
That was Awesome! :-D
Безумно любил этот фильм старшеклассником в шестидесятые годы.
The first time I went to see it the audience were laughing so much I missed half the jokes.
...they really got a BANG out of THAT one...(!)
This scene is a good example of signifying the contrasts between character.

Neither side see each other as more than contenders in the same cause. Then you see the lackey that Peter Falk cements, who is totally aware of his stance under Professor Fate but of nothing else.

Que gran película
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of Wacky Races,Leslie as Peter perfect and Prof Fate as Dick Dastardly, Max is great but no Muttley
Maggie Dubois is Penelope Pitstop.
Man, I wish that flying machine was real. I want one!!!
so innocently funny
Meanwhile, over Deadhorse, Alaska...
It would've been great to see Professor Fate match wits with Inspector Clouseau.
Великолепный фильм !!!
The idea of Jack Lemon using a monocular Spyglass and Peter Falk using Binoculars is a bit droll, considering that Mr. Falk has a glass eye. I wonder if they did it this way on purpose as as an in-joke sight-gag.
Modern reboot cast...
Fate - RDJ
Leslie - Chris Hemsworth
Max - Jack Black
Dubois - Zooey Deschanel
Director -??
Anyone else?
I will agree with Robert Downey Jr. as Professor Fate! 💕
Crackpot film just so funny, love the music.
Does Professor Fate's flying machine land right on top of the Leslie Special?
Professor Fate was the Wiley E. Coyote of the air.....
Uwielbiam tan film
I remember this at the movies
Por favor, suban completa esta película con subtitulos en español. Por favor, por favor, por favor. 🙏 🙏 🙏
The two crew members add up to more volume than the balloon... // Suman más volumen los dos tripulantes que el globo...
...well, look who decided to DROP IN!!!
get it? get it? get it?
(snucker-snucker-snucker!!!)
I love the first half of this movie. The second half, with Jack Lemmon playing that drunken ruler, is just dumb.
"Jack" Lemmon and Peter Falk - forever!
Love these old comedies. The music, the exaggerated movements, sounds and expressions.
Even the period "special effects" while crude by today's standards didn't detract from the scene, you know it's fake, but just don't care.
" МАКС"- нажми на кнопку!!! Классно!!!

That is a chain drive rather than transmission and differential. Most of the early autos were made that way.
Por favor, cómo puedo conseguirla? No logro encontrarla por ningún lado!
Amazon, in Blu-Ray.
curses , foiled again. i wonder if something like that pedal zepplin would actually have worked .
