- The Choppers 1961 full movie. 1960s crime drama film starring Arch Hall and a group of leather clad "teenage" hot rod hoodlums who roam the back roads in search of classic cars to chop. Between harassing the local populace, dealing with girlfriends, they manage to work in a little rock and roll between crimes. Good clean drive in movie fun. synopsis by - Broken Trout -
This crew would clean up today in the catalytic convertor trade today
Not necessarily true my guy, these gangs wouldn't touch cat's. It would go against team morals. Because they would always leave cars drivable after their treatment.
That would have them true hepcats, daddy-o
And you know this man
@@MrPlussesthat was a good one
I think this one was one of the last'' youth delinquency'' drive in's that the studios were producing before they turn to "beach" movies. By the early 1960's, this genre was not making enough money at the Box, so the "good kids" were in. Anyway, hope to see more of them coming up. Thanks Trout!
Your welcome @Clark Kent Your in luck, I have no stomach for the beach blanket bingo movies. Like you I prefer these.
@@BrokenTrout They switched form hoodlums to P***y.
The guy that played the Chopper (Arch Hall Jr)in real life became a pilot and eventually flew 747’s for Flying Tiger and DC 10 for Fed Ex.
Arch Hall Jr. was a piece of work. B-Films, pilot, musician (one of the unsung heros of rock and roll) probably bi-polar, strangely handsome, success in life after the backlot of Hollywood streets...SUCCESS!
Oh yeah, this is his first movie.
why bi polar@@Cracktaculus
@@michaelhoffman5486 because at least 3 of those chicken-truck, short-strippers ain't old enough to vote yet an' ain't done enough self-medicating with anything but testosterone and adrenalin as of yet.
EEGAH!!!
"Watch out for snakes!"
Arch Hall. The name says it all. Thanks for a great movie!! Pass the popcorn!☺😊
Your welcome @Zoey
No pass the fried chicken
Those darned rock and roll kids!
I'm pretty sure I watched this about a year ago.
After watching it for the 1st 5 minutes, I'm watching it again 👍 go man go.
Thanks BT

They should ban drunks from being fathers
I'm surprised he's people in this movie didn't win a Academy Award best movie of the year. Best one I ever saw anyway. Really good dialogue and plot! I bought it on DVD a couple weeks ago I already watched it three times.
Seriously? You must not have watched many movies. This is amusing "B" grade drive in stuff.
@johnstudd4245 well I must be a B-movie fourth attic because I never go for the movies that show at the theaters. Just like buying records back in the day I always liked the B-side not the actual hits! But this movie blows the charts away the actors in it! Amazing. I just wish Arch Hall was still making movies today he would have a lot of Trophies by now.
When the first punk, when referring to a broken down car says ". Hey man this little car is sick". I expected second punk to say" yeh man pure dope". Lol🏴✌️
another Arch Hall classic ... his movies are always a fun watch ... thanks for the uplaod
Old Arch actually put some effort into this one. Bruno VeSota (junkyard guy) a veteran actor from Roger Corman's Filmgroup studio does fine in this too.
Excellent film. Arch Hall, Sr, played Jim Bradford, the radio man. Cruiser was played by Arch Hall, Jr. He quit acting and became an airline pilot.
Sountrack by Al Peligrini is perfect.
Someone stole a peanut butter sandwich from me at school. Wonder if it was one of these guys.
How do you still remember that? How did you even see that? Anyway, I apologize. You want a new sandwich?
A 7th grader stole my 3 cents for milk that day when I was in 2nd grade...
...How 'bout a knuckle sandwich, Buddy?@@goglowdaddy1686
It's like, you know man, *taking a drag on a cigarette* all that crazy jazz music, that like, you know, drove all those kids over the edge.
And here I thought it was "marihuana madness."
It's hard to catch a chicken truck because the bird wings make it go faster.
The movies they used to make back in the day, right? 1961 was my birth year and the movies the moviemakers made then were excellent, especially the B movies.
This one in particular was made in such a way that you just basically felt like you were there watching everything that was going on as if events were happening in real time, so it was, in this movie buff's opinion, a well-made movie, so I hope everybody enjoys it as much as I.
So, I seem to use the word 'so' more than Beto O'Rourke,
so that probably means I'm a dork.
🇺🇸
I was born in 1961, I only listen to music from the 50s and 60s and the same for the movies. Best time eras to grow up in.
@@tonycollazorappo I just found this channel I was born in 1955 and I was allowed to go to the movies by myself at 9 since it was a tight community I’m now a huge classic movie fan and absolutely detest all of the CGI used today! Give me real actors just like music give me artists who CAN sing without using auto tune! 😉
So, I guess that makes this '61, 62 year old a dork as well ! I agree wih you ! I love stuff like this !
They made good movies back then, today they are rubbish and so fake, I can’t be bothered watching the majority of movies made today.
I was born in 1961
That caddy reminds me of Jayne Mansfield
Nice,cool jazz soundtrack
Poor chickens... accessories before and after the crimes!
Good movie, never heard of it before, thanks for posting. I'm surprised that Broderick Crawford didn't show up on the scene for the capture! Looks like it was filmed in the Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley) area.
Probably too drunk.
I bet that area looks a lot different now.
"I been in some spots before but I wouldn't give this one to a leopard!"
Broderick Crawford,
Highway Patrol
@@johnstudd4245 Mulholland Dr. (straddles the hills between LA and the San Fernando Valley) amazingly still looks the same.
By far (for me) the 2nd. best, Arch Hall Jr. film I've seen, to date. That is, behind 'The Sadist'. And, it was fast paced, also. Here I am thinking that, those 'chop shops', of the '90's, we're somewhat new. This show's the same actions, 30 years prior. They would've loved, the catalytic converter prospect, later on☺️. Big💵 , then.
The Sadist is ridiculously good. I had never heard of it before I watched it some months ago and was so shocked by his demented glee. The actress who played his girlfriend was also terrifying. Arch Hall Jr's performance reminded me of Don Stroud's in The House by the Lake (1976). Another one of my fav's.
Came here expecting a a good wholesome film about how dentists make false teeth and what do I get instead but mayhem and shenanigans! Ha rump!
😂 I like that because that’s actually something that I would say
More corn than a box of Post Toasties.
Thanks, looks like a cool JD flick! I’ll be watching it later tonight. Fun upload, BT! :)
Indeed Nancy, A "Teensploitation" film with 28 year old teenagers.
Great flick daddy O.
You just know they’re delinquents, you can tell by the music!💯🤣
No mention of Rex Holman as snooper in the credits at end. He was the one shot in the leg and complained of numbness. Played many bad guys in the TV westerns like Gunsmoke and The Rifleman among others.
Tnx for that bit of info. I knew he looked familiar.
Credits state Mickey Hoyle played Snooper
Because Rex Holman played "Flip" not Snooper, thou in this he was billed as "Roye Baker" for some reason. He was billed as Rex in a really cool film around this same period - "Panic in Year Zero."
I've never seen so much Brylcream in one film clip !!
Arch used a whole case of it for his doo in '62, shooting Wild Guitar.
Brylcreem -- a little dab'll do ya.-- Brylcreem you'll look so debonair -- Brylcreem the gals'll all pursue ya, they'll love to run their fingers through your hair.
Wouldn’t it have been easier just to tow the whole car away with that poultry truck? Sheesh!
That Cellphone is GIANT
Lol, youngsters. that is a solid state walkie talkie.
i was waiting for that torch to blow up the gas tank
Now let see. A gang of car choppers stick to one county and the one auto parts yard for their operation. And they use an extremely conspicuous car for a lookout. And they're going up against professional law enforcement officers. What could possibly go wrong?
THANK YOU BROKEN TROUT FIRST TIME WATCHING I LIKE THIS MOVIE POOR CHICKENS BEING USED IN CRIMES , SO MANY GOOD FRIED CHICKEN DINNERS WASTED SO SAD
I always thought the inclusion of the birds was unusual, "How much you want for them chickens"? "Go away old man!" very cute.
Just gotta hope they do not go stool pigeon on em.
BROKEN TROUT SO FUNNY , THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGH
Cheap thrills RSC.
It does make for a good double bill with Pink Flamingos.
Holy crap! Where did you find all these movies! Plenty to binge here🤣👍🏽
The kind of crew you might expect at Watergate.
anyone notice the police car changes then when they're chopping the white car it suddenly changes only to reappear later as a bait car😅
Great
Love those 59 GM cars.
The best! Thanks
Nice to see a Kaiser automobile being put to good use in the opening crime scene.
Buick Nailhead in the hot rod.
That's what I was thinking, judging by the valve covers and sound. Maybe a 364.
@@hernandocortez6351 364 is most likely. Pretty cool. It has the unique exhaust port spacing of the Nailhead too.
@@johnz8210 My dad had one in his '58 Century convertible.
I wonder if it is Ivos T Bucket. I THINK ITWAS IN A COUPLE OF FILMS
@@mikeheggem9488 Could be. He was the Nailhead master when this film was done.
Not a bad movie . Lots of easy stereotypes but still entertaining . ☺
This seems to be a 1960s version of the Bowery boys
Back in the day they used to call these guys "dishmen" as with the jazz music being played at the start. The dishmen would do their damage to cars and homes as well while playing the music exactly as you can hear on this upload it would be playing in the background they reckon it used to encourage them to do bad by getting the adrenaline flowing. The jazz master at the time this all went on was a guy called Fat's Dish. Fat's used play at the beacon night club in mississippi.
@@dizzman5546 your welcome, I used to know a dishman from kentucky. He was a teenager then he's now left us. He told me back in the day that he and his fellow dishmen. Would specialise in stealing automatics. They wanted the gearbox, because there was alot of trade back in the day. Sadly Ryan's gang got caught and all jailed for five years each. One of his gang got a good kick in and was crippled by two inmates. The fight was over, believe me or not, a transvestite prisoner, who he was having a relationship with. The two inmate's found out and went for him. It was big news back in the day, and he was released 1 year earlier and still carried on stealing car's even though he was wheelchair bound. I believe he did the welding work. His name was randy.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
I've been looking for this movie for a while now I must've watched 50 others of this type I knew it would come up in my recomended's sooner or later !
Nice to see William Conrad in a film as moose
@@Seek5thow Bruno William VeSota one of my favorite ham actors. He achieved his greatest cult feature popularity with his frequent and delightful appearances in a bunch of hugely enjoyable low-budget Roger Corman exploitation pictures. Bruno was especially excellent as Yvette Vickers' angry cuckolded husband in the Grade B monster classic "Attack of the Giant Leeches." Other notable movie roles include a disgusting slob junkyard owner who sells stolen automobile parts on the side in "The Choppers," a bartender in "The Haunted Palace," a hapless night watchman who becomes a victim of "The Wasp Woman," a snobby coffeehouse regular in the hilarious black comedy gem "A Bucket of Blood," a perverse oddball named Mr. Donald Duck from Duluth in "Single Room Unfurnished," a nervous innkeeper in "The Undead," a Russian spy in "War of the Satellites," a minister in "Hell's Angels on Wheels," a cultured gangster in "Daddy-O," and a brutish loan enforcer in "Carnival Rock."
Spouse
Jebbie VeSota(January 3, 1953 - September 24, 1976) (his death, 6 children) A damn good family man too, no dirt in his acting résumé.
@@Seek5thow I knew a girl at crary school in Detroit named Mary Bruno. Skinny, called her slick
This is exactly how to deal with criminals.
I would not have guessed they were calling the cops "the fuzz" in 1961. I wonder how far back that goes?
Good movie💯
You could definitely hurt someone with that Caddy
No chickens were injured making this movie.
Good to see gabby Hayes working in the 60s
On one level, I am reminded of the Elvis song, "In the Ghetto".
On another level, "..So help me, they're carrying a load of chickens!".
*Like 3. But it is much better to repair cars than to break them on purpose.*
So very true LW.
HELLO LOYAL WARRIOR
@@RetiredSchoolCook
Hello!
Once I read in a Russian book (I don't remember its title) about a retired school cook. The school missed the cook badly. It came out that nobody else could mash potatoes so skillfully!
@@loyalwarrior3053 I SERVED THE CHILDREN , BREAKFAST AND LUNCH FOR 34 YEARS SOME WOULD TELL ME I WAS THE BEST COOK OTHERS WOULD TELL ME THAT I COOKED BETTER THAN THEIR MOTHERS IT WAS VERY HARD WORK , I DO MISS THE CHILDREN
I thought I was gonna get a motorcycle movie.
How dare them destroy the 54 or 53 kaiser dragon /deluxe
Yes a high crime deserving capital punishment.
A neighbor owned a KAISER and being an aerospace engineer dropped an electronic ignition setup into the motor. He was so damn proud of that electronic modification. He did some other stuff to increase gas mileage. Ahhh the early 60s❤❤❤
Send Broderick Crawford in there and he'll kick everybody's ass!
Sone of that jaze music, Jimmy hendrix used the same riffs. I noticed...one was right after the shoot out.
J A Z Z J I M I
And they're sooo smart they strip the car on a public highway
I give that 5 stars. The secretary on the little car was awesome. Was that a Renault?
Renault Dauphine, rear engine, late 50s.
@@jhgeorg Yes! I used to see them.
These kids comprised the SILENT GENERATION. They grew up to be rebels delinquents and rocknrollers aka ELVIS. Very soon they became conservative married and raising families. They gave birth to GEN X a feral mean and apathetic group. The silent GEN would be in their 80s.
The grandparents of the KIA Boys...
59 Chevy “ cat eyes” cars!
The hot rod was “Herman Munsters” future hot rod!😉
Arch Hall !
When will Torch learn to use a cutting tip, instead of one intended only for brazing?
WHO KNEW that grandpa Munster drove tow truck and Charles Bronson's kid was a car parts crook.
Big ass cell phones back then 😅😅
That' walkie talkie was bigger than the kid 😆
Farout flick ❤❤❤
When they got caught at least they where punished unlike today
today
I like these...Choppers.
Can’t believe no one is here for Ms Playboy September 1959 “Marianne Gaba”
I want to be like moose, fat and slobby and living in a 1950 trailer!
"Chopper .... chopper ...."
Nice to see without the robot silhouettes!🤣
Anthrax? We dealt wit dat already
Great movie, it ended the way it should end for losers. Unlike in todays' world where the criminals walk.
Wait - I thought today's kids were the fuck ups. Kids back in the good old days were all boy and girl scouts!
I've been trying to find the soundtrack for this movie for a while. I like those Jazz excerpts they use, does anyone know the name of the composer?
Conga Joe
Cannon was working undercover back in the 60s
Not much of a movie but the music score is excellent - West Coast Jazz!! Sounds like Shorty Rogers.
Not thugs or thieves just a couple of all American boys!
At 3:50 they go for the catalytic converter.
*HOW TO BECOME A CHOP SHOP 101!!*
Do all the men wear big French cuffs?
Watch out for snakes!!
The reporter was the ringleaders dad went on to make EEEEEGAH
Kaiser at the start with missing parts and accident damage before they start. The Buick convertible becomes a Kaiser. Silly film
Andy Clyde, California, gets wacked
the gal was the only reason i keep watching
Wow Daddio.
Crazy, man, crazy…
Interesting but not real interesting to me since I was a teenager at that time and it was really close to how life was then . Reminded me of a few guys I knew back then and some of them ended up like that bunch . I never did get in to the stealing like they did I got out and got a job .
Beautiful blonde haired actress, they don’t come like that today, today actresses are too thin or have tattoos written all over them, the majority of them look like they are using drugs as well.
I thought this was a movie about a set of teeth??
Waste of a perfectly good Kaiser...what was the point of that?
Yeah like who would have ever thought we would be this close to hell today in 20 23
Wasn't there a San Francisco Hells Angel called Moose? Lol
Where these the same mugs Popeye Doyle rounded up on that Lincoln stakeout?
They stripped a Kaiser Manhattan
