The Car is basically Jaws on land.
yeah pretty much!
Duel from 1971 is Jaws The Car is Jaws 2
Haha yep, i had that exact thought when i heard the cars theme, it even sounds like jaws 😂
Love The Car. It's one of those early horrors I saw as a kid and I still find it oddly unsettling for such a silly premise.
You're not alone there, sounds like a few people had the same experience
The Car is one of those films that are easy to forget about,
then you are delighted when you remember it exists.
A fun movie.
lots of fun! Cheers Abe
I named my van Christine in hopes it’ll repair itself. Especially when it’s due for inspection.
And did it work?
@@FrightfullyForgotten Not yet. I think I need more chicken blood.
I love this movie. So many unintentionally hilarious scenes, and everyone is taking it so seriously.
Those are the most entertaining movies really
Christine and The Car should get hitched, and make a lovely couple.....
or a VS movie would be fun too!
They could make a sequel where The Car and Christine have a litter of possessed killer Mini-Coopers, and they hire The Hearse as a nanny.
@@bryanjacobsen5005That would be a movie worth watching. Except modern Hollywood would still mess it up.
This car has an almost hearse-like feel to it as well, somewhat reminding me of the movie The Hearse (1980). Cox and Armstrong also co-starred in the wonderful The Beast Within (1982). I really enjoy The Car this ride is a lot of fun, probably more so than the way more famous Christine (1983) actually which has a somewhat meaner spirit to it but they're both very good.
I love this movie! When I was little, the Car's horn scared me to bits. I'd put this in with Duel and Christine (Duel being a little different bc it's not supernatural, but close enough), and the Amityville Horror because of James Brolin.
Ronny Cox is cool - apparently he has a whole separate career as a well-regarded folk musician...?
Yeah I think thanks partly why Ronnie Cox was cast for Deliverance
Definitely my #1 favorite movie of all time. The Car is super cool and unique looking.
Really, favorite movie of all time?!?!?
@@FightTheGoodFight. Yess
Good special effects boys , that 🔥 looked dangerous 😅🤣😂
haha thanks, closed my eyes and held my breath. No one can say we don't suffer for our art on this channel!
Oh, I TOTALLY got the Star Trek II parody! The way Justin says the word "human" totally nailed the way Shatner choked it out. Hilarious! Yeah, I remember when this movie came out but never saw it. Might need to remedy that.
You go watch it! Then Watch Wrath of Khan and get back to us! haha Cheers with a martini!
I gotta say I roared with laughter when I saw the gloves in the Wrath of Khan bit. 10/10 fricheks
Oh.man so glad you enjoyed the parody and reference. if we forgot the gloves we would have been fucked
@@FrightfullyForgotten Why did my brain think it was important to remember Spock's gloves?
Perfect! LLAP and of course, Keep drinking!!
Thanks! Will do! Cheers.
Laughed at the Star Trek II part. You guys are so god damn funny! 😂
Thanks man, so far your the only one who got the parody, thought more people would have seen The Wrath of Khan haha.
I saw this actual on camera car at george Barris shop on riverside Dr. North Hollywood, CA when I took a tour with George and my frien d who new him along with all the original tv , film cars he built . It was ominous sitting there in its blackness a dme remembering g seeing this cool film ad a kid , cool film 📼 👍✌️
OH man that's awesome.
@@FrightfullyForgottenI wish I could remember what he told me when I asked him if he was the driver of the car also asked if that was him driving the batmobile coming out of Bronson caves in the Hollywood hills at the opening of batman ! I can't remember but I think they were not him , stunt men driving .
Loved discovering The Car and Race with the Devil on late night tv when I was a kid,still love watching them now. Great video as always lads,love from the UK 🇬🇧🇨🇦
Ah now that's a great double feature
This movie is one of my favorite guilty pleasures car design is cool.
Fuck the electric car I want an Adam powered one!😊
Great review and skid as always
I should start m own car pushing business
@@FrightfullyForgotten there ya go! Lol
Love the car....
So do we Dave, Cheers man!
I know the guy who owns it.
The Car! Pure mid/late 70s Late Night Horror Schock! ....and I love it!!!
I always loved this movie. I still watch it and enjoy it. So sad his girlfriend died though hahaha. Thanks guys you make Friday's fun! Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks, you have a great weekend too.
I just realized the guy beating his wife is Uncle Louie from Curious Goods Friday the 13th of series
R.G. Armstrong baby!
Love when Justin spit the beer out
Could have easily cut that out, but had to keep it in.
@@FrightfullyForgotten you have to leave that awesome shit in
My dad had a normal 71 Mark III, he bought it in 74 and they put a pig in the trunk, the pig didnt like being in the trunk, pooped everywhere and made a real mess.
Then the car went on to win a demo derby
no shit the pig didn't like being in the trunk! haha. Love those old cars, especially Lincolns just beautiful cars.
Nice
I'm 57, I watched this movie as a kid with my sibs. I caught it a few years ago on Svenghoulie or something, an iconic line was said that killed me. I then texted that line to my sibs "CAT POO!", a riot was had by all.
Happy there was no Drowning in Foam, guys! 😁
haha well you don't know what we got up to after we shot this review!! We went swimming in it!
Saw this movie on TV as a kid and was TOTALLY freaked out. Fell in love with the movie, bought it on VHS, then DVD, and most recently as an HD digital file. You did it justice; this movie is great fun.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the review. Stay tuned for more. Cheers
The Car and KIlldozer ruled when I was a kid.
One of my FAVORITE films. I always say to my friends "The Car is the Orca of Car films" (that's a compliment)
@@shwicaz orca is also a great underrated horror movie!!
In 1981 a friend and I made a spoof parody trailer of “The Car” called “The Unicycle” - was of course about a possessed unmanned Unicycle terrorizing a town. An earlier trailer we did, “The Clams” (parody of The Birds) had been shown on Saturday Night Live. We shot some Unicycle scenes duplicating ones from The Car but never finished it.
Your friend must have watched this review too cause that's the second comment we have had about the unicycle and the clams! That's awesome hope you're still getting royalties for the clams. If you haven't seen the movie rubber about a killer tire (which we also reviewed) you'd probably like that too, may not be too far off from your parody of the car
Thanks but that second comment was mine - I deleted it and rewrote the current one. Have not see the killer tire but will look for it.
No royalties for The Clams (was my friends project anyway) but it was a fun shoot re-creating the kids schoolhouse run - getting all the shot-lines the same using frame blowups from The Birds. The Clams was meant by us to be a simple parody but Joe Piscopo and the SNL writers added narration and turned it into a goof on Brian DePalma. DePalma fan Pauline Kael got pissed off about “The Clams” in the New York Times.
Lol
Kinda funny story. Saw this with the family when it first came out. We all enjoyed it and had a good time, agreeing it was kinda silly but still fun and suspeneful. Anyway, driving home, pulling the car in backwards in the driveway, we all notice at the same time a Lincoln Continental parked directly facing us as we're backing in. Literally gave us all a jump scare before we started cracking up. Guess it was more scary then we had let on. 😄
Whoa yeah that's pretty creepy. Tha ks for sharing
James Brolin is fantastic as Wade Parent.😀👍
My young and broke parents loved going to the drive-in. Cheap night out and they didn’t have to pay for a babysitter cause they would sneak me in with them as a young lad! Saw some of the biggest classics of the 70’s and early 80’s and The Car was one of them. It was a simpler time.
Drive-ins sound like such a cool experience, we never got to go to one!
@@FrightfullyForgotten It was a great time to be growing up.
Wow i watched this a month or so ago myself, its pretty fun, that one scene where the car comes for the woman in her home by jumping clean through one window and out the other had me in stitches.
@@scrow7752 haha yeah that's a pretty funny scene
Seeing this as a kid was entertaining.
Another great review, boys! I always enjoyed this one...as well as Spielberg's "Duel". They always made for a great double feature from the video store back in the day lol
@@80sHorrorCentral yeah Duel is great. We really like that one too. As much as we complained about Spielberg in our Poltergeist episode
The car looks like a slicker retro version of the Batmobile.
yes, the way the Batmobile SHOULD look!
I saw this movie in 1977. I thought it was a really cool movie. With a multi-million dollar budget, you still couldn't make a movie this cool without screwing it up.
I absolutely love this movie! When it comes to the small killer car sub genre, this one is king of the road.
This movie scared the hell out of me as a kid when it aired back then hahaha.
I remember seeing this movie at the theater when it was in its first run. I loved it! I was in high school, so just the right age to enjoy a campy thing like this.
EDIT: I just remembered that we thought James Brolin's mustache was cheesy even back in 1977. It's even more laughable today.
I still LOVE watching this movie. it's a cult classic.
And the Oscar for best comedy skit from a movie inner twined in a TH-cam movie review about a completely different movie goes too......
Haha thanks! Since we mostly cover horror movies it gives us a chance to sneak in things from other movies we love... Also if we are constantly parodying the movie we are reviewing then there's no element of surprise! Though we will be breaking that tradition very soon with a Highlander parody. Cheers and thanks for watching
That is one evil car!
I remember seeing The Car on cable when I was a kid. Loved it (because I'm a car nut) and then going to Universal Studios and seeing it parked in the back lot with one of the trucks from the movie Sorcerer. I was an excited kis that day!
A good choice for your entertaining brand of commentary.
Thanks so much for you donation my friend! It will go towards beer
There was an old man that had an old two door Lincoln when I was a kid. I think it was a 1969 model. It looked a lot like The Car. He couldn't figure out why his car was so popular with the kids. Someone must have told him. Because one day he suddenly had a horn that sounded just like The Car. He became the most popular man in the town amongthe kids. Even with a lot of the younger adults.
Just caught it on Pluto a min ago, I love this movie and the car is badass
What Channel was it played on Pluto?
Have you seen Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers? It's not exactly a horror movie, but it's a fun cheezy 80s movie with scream queen Linnea Quigley and Gunnar Hansen.
Actually that's one we haven't seen. We are well aware of it but haven't seen it yet
Saw it THREE times at theatres. Yeah I'm THAT old.
Futurama
This movie really creeped me out as a kid. Good stuff lol !
Great video. Love the film. First saw it on HBO around 1979-80 or so and still love it today. As part of my channel, I even did a trivia game for it.
Ro ny Cox was also in Deep Blue Sea and R.G Armstrong was also in Predator!
It may the most evil, but it will NEVER CATCH UP TO THE BLACK CHARGER FROM THE FAST AND THE FURIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't watch the sequel. It's a horrid pos.
Never planned on it haha.
Is this the inspiration for Bender as the werecar?
Oh nice catch, it most likely is
Loved the horn on the car, when you heard the horn you were screwed
haha yeah totally, it wasn't a warning to get out of the way, it was a warning that you're gonna die!
Great Movie!
Love this film! The cable service here has the Universal Horror Films channel and shows them on rotation all week. So this comes on just about every other day or so and I have to sit down and watch it when I notice it's on. Even if I've missed part of it. Brings back memories of just being able to go to the movies and watching a horror flick have some popcorn and soda without it being complicated by some idiot asking where you want to sit. You just sat where you wanted!
Christine will kick his ass with style!
It would be a battle for the ages!
@@FrightfullyForgotten Hell hath no more fury than a woman scorned!
Did anyone actually see anything in the flames?
Yeah this one one of those " Sleeper Movies " till word got out how good it was !! The Driving was excellent !! Nothing "Cheezy" about this movie !! 👍👍
Only got a release here in the U.K. during the DVD era, don’t think it ever came out on video. Remember seeing it on TV though. Farting music 🎷
Farting Music?
The hitchhike says something about farting music after R G Armstrong scalds him for playing his bugle outside his house. At least, that was my take-away.
An evil possessed car is just silly.
Silly, I say!!!
Haha yeah pretty silly but for some reason it still works... It's all in the delivery
Nightmares: The Benediction (1983)
psst.. where can we watch The Car?
Good question we both own it so we've never had to stream it.. try Tubi and TH-cam
Pssst. It would take you less time to type it into google than post here....
@@jeetkunedoatlanta2464 Nice
I grew up with The Car on tv. Still works. Seen the "sequel"? 🙄😆. Enjoy!
We are "steering" away from the sequel
@@FrightfullyForgotten Stay on that course ...
Why do I have to pay money on streaming services to watch a movie made for and aired on television?
Damn Boyz I never heard of y'all but you guys know your s##t!
Cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻 Y'all got a New Sub👍 as for The Car? That's was 0ne Bi##hing Car🤘🤘 ps: 1986 Mike Marvin "The Wraith" Was The Car Lil Bro👊
Welcome aboard, thanks for the sub and the kind words! Cheers!
Yes it is forgotten,i remember seeing this movie a couple of times awhile back on some cable station,probably like a TBS ,or late night on TNT Monster Vision. And maybe i think even back in the early 90s on a local T.V station called Q58 Stockton CA.Bay Area station on Fridays theyd show old rare Horror gems from the 70s,and the 80s Mostly, and this film was shown one night i remember..then i did happen watch it like maybe 2 or 3 years ago when i happened to stumble upon it here on TH-cam while being bored one night searching and browsing for Good scary 70s and 80s rare Horror movies..and thought yea its pretty much a cool alright film being that it was part of the idea concept genre in Horror movies with having a evil possesed killing Car that kills people..this trend was followed by of course the main killer car movie 1983s Stephen King adaptation of his novel about a Killer evil Possesed Car. Directed by Horror master John Carpenter..this film is underrated and completely forgotten about over shadowed by the most famous one Stephen Kings Christine..being that most people know about Stephen Kings Novel and the film by Carpenter, is just most recognized by people due to the Cars design Model , and color that people identify as the ultimate Evil Killer Car in most people s minds its the only Killer car in hollywood.
Too bad it's a ford product, crown vic, redone by George barris
I know the guy who owns it, 460 . He put louvers on the back window. It is safely stored and intimidating!!
