I was in the Class of 1977 which this movie depicts. I am continually amazed at how dead accurate this movie is. The amount of attention to small details is mind blowing.
This Movie was filmed in Austin, Texas but it's about what was going on in Huntsville, Texas at Huntsville High School. I was a student at nearby Sam Houston State University from 1975 to 1979 and pretty much witnessed most everything in this film. I used to hang out at the Emporium and play Foosball. I also frequented the Sound Machine and the Jolly Fox. The parties out in the woods were called Fire Tower parties back then because of the big Fire Tower there in the National Forest where the parties happened at . Lots of kegs of beer, college girls and high school girls. We used to go to tons of concerts in Houston at the Summit mainly. There was no internet so we had to drive down to the big mall in North Houston to a Tickemaster outlet to get tickets...it's in the movie..lol. After watching the film....I thought......man I lived that movie....alright, alright, alright........l)
I was Class or 75 and I had a 71 Olds 442 W-30 and I added Lunati Cam and beefed up the valve train added aluminum intake and it had a 3.45 posi out back! GOOD TIMES!!!
How was the fuel crisis back then and how did you guys afford it these big muscle cars with gas prices shooting through the roof? it reminds me of today day with same thing happening gas prices shooting through the roof
@@BayAreaMike99 so many good! Paul had a 69 Mach 1, Larry had a 71 340 Dodge Demon, Mike had a 70 SS396, Bill had a 69 442, Jim had a 71 Nova, Mike had a 70 Judge(his dad owned the Pontiac dealership) and Jughead had a 69 Road Runner!
I was in the Class of 1977. My Brother drove a 1969 Mercury Montego, I had a 1967 MGB convertible, and our family car was a 1970 Galaxy 500. My best friend drove a specially painted late 50s car with huge fins.
One of my favorite movies ever! I never get tired of watching it again. The '80s were my time but I had older teenage siblings at home during most of the seventies so I feel like I really experienced some of these times in some ways, my Brothers friend had a Chevelle just like that except it was the dark avocado green with black stripes, it's really funny, his friends we're just like the group in the movie. It was a simple but cool time back then.
This movie's time period is right before I was conceived! So I was technically alive right their graduation! Based on what I see in this movie, you were definitely lucky to have grown up in this era!
How accurate was this to real life? I watch this movie and just get blown away by how chill it was and how much freedom kids seem to have had back then.
@@georgehollingsworth2428 Just as long as you didn't get busted for weed or something lol. Hell I'm 29 and nearly got put on probation at 17 just for possession. It's now legal in my state. My oldest brother wasn't so lucky and had to go to court in 2001, he was 18. I got let off easy but strictly yelled at by the biggest anti-drug cop in town because I wasn't known to be a stoner or anything, I was fresh. My friend and I nearly teared up as he let us go, we saw the end of our lives before our eyes. There was a bong packed in the bag seat covered poorly by worksheets that he didn't notice somehow, and must've had a cold because smoke was pouring out of the car right into his dumbass face. So he didn't think we were stoned at the time, but we kept pulling up into this little parking lot near someone's house because we thought "oh, that's the same car I drive, that'll make it less suspicious" and then we got called on, they saw us getting high once the leaves came off during the winter. I wouldn't say the reckless lifestyle portrayed in this film is entirely outdated. My teen years were full of breaking windows, peeing through peoples door mail slots, shoplifting and just general reckless behavior. It was awesome! lol. I feel a little sorry for the people who'd wake up to pee in their front doorway though... Oh, can't forget about filling condoms with mustard and blowing them up on peoples cars, ruining their paint (only did this to some shitty people). But then sometimes we'd spit in a condom and leave it on someones front door to make them think it was used, we were like 15, but felt like we could do anything.
Fun Edit. The kid who played Pickford(planning House Party) and I actually grew up together in Massachusetts. Interestingly he was like a "surfer-dude," and not at all druggy. Well, this was the '80s! Unfortunately few have seen him, lately. Nice kid though, loyal to his friends, and very funny. Shawn's real-life car was a black Dodge Dart Sport, very similar to O'Bannion's(Ben Affleck's) in 'Dazed,' starting at 4:24...... Have a great night, everybody

I was class of 2013 and our parking lot was a lot of Japanese sports cars and 1990s American muscle cars. Lots of civics, Nissan z’s, rx8’s, foxbody mustangs, ford broncos, 1990s Camaros and mustangs. Granted the majority of the cars were lame cars but anyone that was somewhat into cars was driving what I listed above. I was driving a second Gen dodge ram until senior year when I got a civic si hatchback.
0:26, that's probably the nicest high school parking lot ever. Funny how they couldn't find a whole lot of actual 70s cars to use as background vehicles and instead favored a lot of 50s and 60s cars. I see a couple of '57-'58 Plymouth Furys, '59 Ford Fairlane sedan, '66 Ford Mustang Convertible, '57 Chevy 3100, '62 Plymouth Belvedere, and a '67 Chevy Camaro when the camera pans all the way as they pull up. I understand not everyone back then drove a brand new or fairly new vehicle, especially high-schoolers. A lot drove 10-20 year old vehicles since they were dirt cheap back then and is what they can afford.
Cars from the 50s and 1960s were dirt cheap. I was in the class of 1977 (same as Seniors in Dazed and Confused) and I drove a 1967 MGB Convertible with dual carbs. I paid 900 Dollars for it. My brother drove a 1968 or 1969 Mercury Montego muscle car which he paid a similar amount for. My best friend bought a late 1950s car with large fins in the back.. This is a fairly accurate depiction of a high school parking lot in the SOuth.
Doesn’t it make more sense anyway? You don’t see mostly 2020s cars on the streets as a matter of fact I would say most cars we see on the road now are 90s and 2000s cars.
it's a lot of the same, cars are just more expensive nowadays. My cars a 2004 so almost 20 years old and it costed me $4000 used. Not exactly pocket change. I remember my uncle talking to me about how dirt cheap cars were when he was in high school.
Maybe u didnt have the right connections,,thai sticks, alcupoco gold,Haiwian, panama red, columbian gold and columbian brown (color of choclate) and of course all the gold, red and dark brown hashes, all 1 hitters and ur lungs expanded into 5 minute coughs,,those were the days and nites!! while reggie zzz.s were 20 ouncers, premos like Hawaii were 100 zz and looked neon green!
@@danieleyre8913 Actually, Cannabis was no where near as potent on average. I was in this graduating class, and our everyday pot was no where near as good as it is today. On hte other hand, an OUNCE of regular weed was $15, or around 135 dollars a pound. Columbian was 35 to 40 an ounce, and stuff as good as you get now would cost 200 an ounce.
The cars were considered "extras" so other than a few key vehicles, they used local car enthusiasts' vehicles to fill parking lots, create "traffic", provide parked cars etc. Many of the cars are used as extras repeatedly. You'll notice this if you pay attention. This was a very low budget movie. They spent most of their money on the soundtrack.
I had plenty of high school friends, and this movie makes me feel the same way. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug - don’t let it worry you too much. This movie is meant to embody nostalgia, only remembering the best parts and sugarcoating your memory. I hope u realize that you didn’t miss out on this, and you still have a whole life to make the most of!
It's honestly not really your fault though. You grew up in different times. People will never be that social and connected again. Technology ruined that for everyone.
Excellent compilation of the sweet rides featured in this awesome movie. Soon after watching Dazed and Confused, I acquired a ‘72 El Camino with a 350 under the hood. Nothing beats the sound and feel of driving a muscle car!
"O'banion finally got his paint job!"🤣🤣🤣, The best car in the flick? a toss up between the 70 SS 454 Chevelle and the 74 SD 455 T/A, what a fucking matchup that would have been!, unless that 70 Judge had a Ram air V (but I doubt it) ,I think both of these cars would have smoked it!, what a great movie though!
NOBODY WAS JEALOUS OF THE CAR I DROVE I DIDNT HAVE A SPANKING BRAND NEW RED JEEP WITH THE TOP DOWN BUT.... ACCORDING TO MY DAD MY FORD TAURUS SABLE HAD ALOT OF PICKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It is a great documentry...i grew up in the 70s,,,i knew alot of people who had cars like that,,the firebird and the chevelle would be a great race,,depending on the driver id put money on the firebird....it was a cool time to be growing up then, ,,
At 1:36 is what used to be known as "lawn chewies' lol. Laugh recalling too friends pleading after being dropped off in the early hours when everything was peaceful and quiet for the driver not to do a burnout and wake the neighborhood. To no avail.
..there is a pink one here in New Zealand called " pink pussy " a model chick owns it ..i used to see it and draw it as a kid and its still around ..pink 74 sd ta
I still think the chevelle ss was one of the sexiest looking muscle cars of all time. I had a chance to buy one in 1995 when I was 16 for 2500 bucks. I was working at dominos for 4.25 per hour and 2500 might as well have been 25,000. If I ever can justify it I'll get a ss with a 396 and a 4 speed.
There is no real justification for nice cars, specially in 2023 lol. But I strongly encourage people to buy their dream car, gearheads or not, practical car or not. Because if there is one thing humans do every single day is drive (maybe not in the city) but if you are gona get in a car every day, you might as well love every second of it, with a car that you love and look forward to drive every damn day. That's enough justification for me lol
I had a similar situation in 93. It was a 72 chevelle Malibu that was painted and had an ss grill. Had a 383 stroker. I couldn't get the 2500 fast enough.
In my town theres lots of classics i graduated in 14 for my truck i had and still have 72 c10 my friend had a 88 d100 there was one kid who had a 69 boss 302 that his dad had and two of my teachers had a 70 chevelle ss and a 69 nova ss they drove to school every day and my mechanic school we were working on a 69 ss camaro and a 69 c10 with a 454 some other people in my home town have lots of classics that they drive every friday and sunday after church
3:55 seriously is like my dad and my uncle talking about the cars they had in the 70’s. Funny cause MMC looks like a younger version of my uncle and the other dude is a younger version of my dad.
Fuckin love the scene with the c10 chasing the buick. Reminds me of hole shotting my 69 electra with the posi burning off both tires with my buddy in his 396/402 71 c10
Don't get me wrong - I love this movie and I love the cars. But, that said, I wonder how many High School kids in 1976 were cruising around in fairly new muscle cars like this? I went to High School in the mid-80's and these were the types of cars that were often seen in our parking lot because by the mid-80's they were old enough to be affordable for High School kids but yet not rare-(ish) classics we couldn't hope to afford or maintain. But did many kids in '76 really own cars that were only 6 years old, or newer? I could see Wooderson's Chevelle because he was a working man who probably spent all he had on his car - but some of the others seem like a stretch. My dad owned a '70 Dodge Charger R/T in the early 70's but he was almost middle aged and employed as an engineer by that time. Seems like some of the cars shown in the movie were more the product of wishful thinking than actual memories of the writer. The freshmen and their '64 Electra seems more like the cars kids would actually have in 1976.
Example: O'Bannion's '73 Duster. That car would have been less than 3-years old when this movie was set. I guess he _really_ didn't like the factory paint job which should have still been in pretty good condition in 1976.
@@legorobotics1017 Exactly! I actually graduated in 1990 and was driving a 1970 Ford Ranger at the time. I am guessing that you don't see a lot of newer-than-2017 Mustangs and Chargers in your school parking lot (unless some kids have rich overindulging parents). But you'll probably see cars like that at HS 10-15 years from now.
@@arkwill14 my friend has a 2018 Camaro that he got but that’s about it it’s mainly just stuff from the 2000s and maybe 2010s rn I go to a private school so there are some rich people there (I would still take my suburban if I was rich tho it’s so nice)
Just noticed the chevelle he had didnt have that cb radio antenna on the back when we first see the car, but did that night. Must’ve had it installed for summer cruising.
I dunno why Ben Asslick's 2 yr. old Duster was in primer. Few other minor things were incorrect for '76. Like certain aftermarket wheels. Minor shit. Killer movie!
Just did! It's before 1:13 in the video. The red firebird in the scene with the female hazing , it's toward the left, has 80s IROC Cameron wheels. Minor inconsistencies, but they can be spotted
Love this movie too,.you can escape the crap filled smart phone/social media world,..... electric cars may be fast, etc,.but they will never be this cool,...never.
If i was somehow transported back to the 70s i would probably have a heart attack just trying to figure out what kind of vehicle id want. My god the choices lol

The best coming of age film of all time.
It is a great documentry...i grew up in the 70s,,,i knew alot of people who had cars like that,,the firebird and the chevelle would be a great race,,depending on the driver id put money on the firebird....it was a cool time to be growing up then, ,,
At 1:36 is what used to be known as "lawn chewies' lol. Laugh recalling too friends pleading after being dropped off in the early hours when everything was peaceful and quiet for the driver not to do a burnout and wake the neighborhood. To no avail.
haha
My mom graduated in 76. Had me in 83. 90s were great though. Last of the non cellphone era
OH HOW SHAVAUGHN SHINES!!!!! HAVE I HAVE A BEER???? JUST GIVE A BEER. WHO SOLD YOU THE BEER THIS TIME??????? HAHA❤❤❤❤❤
74 Trans Am SD-455 makes its only known big screen appearance at 2:42. That's a rare car.
My dad bought a 79 trans, same colors, with glass t-tops back when I was 15. I'm 37 that car hasn't moved an inch

Why I love Pontiac back in that time they made some cool cars
@@clevlandblock the most valuable car i seen in this movie was the black plymouth superbird
My favorite car in the whole movie is at 3:48

@@gbccollin8700 indeed the bird!

I still think the chevelle ss was one of the sexiest looking muscle cars of all time. I had a chance to buy one in 1995 when I was 16 for 2500 bucks. I was working at dominos for 4.25 per hour and 2500 might as well have been 25,000. If I ever can justify it I'll get a ss with a 396 and a 4 speed.
There is no real justification for nice cars, specially in 2023 lol.
But I strongly encourage people to buy their dream car, gearheads or not, practical car or not. Because if there is one thing humans do every single day is drive (maybe not in the city) but if you are gona get in a car every day, you might as well love every second of it, with a car that you love and look forward to drive every damn day.
That's enough justification for me lol
I had a similar situation in 93. It was a 72 chevelle Malibu that was painted and had an ss grill. Had a 383 stroker. I couldn't get the 2500 fast enough.
The Plymouth superbird has to be the coolest car in this movie
In my town theres lots of classics i graduated in 14 for my truck i had and still have 72 c10 my friend had a 88 d100 there was one kid who had a 69 boss 302 that his dad had and two of my teachers had a 70 chevelle ss and a 69 nova ss they drove to school every day and my mechanic school we were working on a 69 ss camaro and a 69 c10 with a 454 some other people in my home town have lots of classics that they drive every friday and sunday after church
@6:42 Joey Lauren Adams was just angelically beautiful in this film.
😆 top notch hamburgers I lived right right up the road from there when I lived in Austin years ago
Nice video man,I love muscle cars !!!
Remember my 75 Pontiac Ventura looked like a GTO !!!
I graduated in 1977. These cars are what a lot of kids drove. Mostly built up into fast cars by the teenagers themselves. Great times in many ways.
3:55 seriously is like my dad and my uncle talking about the cars they had in the 70’s. Funny cause MMC looks like a younger version of my uncle and the other dude is a younger version of my dad.
0:11 one of the greatest characters intros ever. And I mean the Judge, not Pickford.
4:22 that whole scenes funny as hell lol
The whole movie is man
0:26 That C-10 Made This Movie Badass
I have a '71 C-10. Will never part with it.
My favorite car from the entire movie
Give me that square body love that c10
Might have been the meanest sounding engine in the movie. That or O'Bannion's Duster
Melba Toast !!!!
Sweet
I secretly miss the backseat of that car!!!!!!
that t/a and gto 🥵
Fuckin love the scene with the c10 chasing the buick. Reminds me of hole shotting my 69 electra with the posi burning off both tires with my buddy in his 396/402 71 c10
Don't get me wrong - I love this movie and I love the cars. But, that said, I wonder how many High School kids in 1976 were cruising around in fairly new muscle cars like this? I went to High School in the mid-80's and these were the types of cars that were often seen in our parking lot because by the mid-80's they were old enough to be affordable for High School kids but yet not rare-(ish) classics we couldn't hope to afford or maintain. But did many kids in '76 really own cars that were only 6 years old, or newer? I could see Wooderson's Chevelle because he was a working man who probably spent all he had on his car - but some of the others seem like a stretch. My dad owned a '70 Dodge Charger R/T in the early 70's but he was almost middle aged and employed as an engineer by that time. Seems like some of the cars shown in the movie were more the product of wishful thinking than actual memories of the writer. The freshmen and their '64 Electra seems more like the cars kids would actually have in 1976.
Example: O'Bannion's '73 Duster. That car would have been less than 3-years old when this movie was set. I guess he _really_ didn't like the factory paint job which should have still been in pretty good condition in 1976.
Spring of 1978 I bought a '70 Road Runner from a Ford dealer for $800.Think it had 68,000 miles. Wasnt perfect condition but not bad.
I drive a 90 Suburban to school rn
I’m not complaining
@@legorobotics1017 Exactly! I actually graduated in 1990 and was driving a 1970 Ford Ranger at the time. I am guessing that you don't see a lot of newer-than-2017 Mustangs and Chargers in your school parking lot (unless some kids have rich overindulging parents). But you'll probably see cars like that at HS 10-15 years from now.
@@arkwill14 my friend has a 2018 Camaro that he got but that’s about it it’s mainly just stuff from the 2000s and maybe 2010s rn
I go to a private school so there are some rich people there (I would still take my suburban if I was rich tho it’s so nice)
Sick!
1970 Chevy Chevelle is the best looking car
Clint's Trans Am
@@whatever_it_takes6691 no way
@@joshuawildlife2256 Yuh way. BOTH amazing.
How I do miss my 1969 Camaro
That sweet sounding 396 big block
In one of these deleted scenes there's a gold 72 Vette as well.
Cool. Just wanted to see that judge creeping the lot
Anyone ever notice the camaro with IROQ rims? Not era correct. Its in the scene when they are hazing the girls
Yes thats a known mistake in the movie.
That's a Trans Am with IROC rims
Plymouth Superbird @ 3:46 !!!
How u gonna leave out randall pinks ss el camino.also the square body chevy from the car wash scene
The fact that Ben Affleck's paddle said FAH-Q, an obvious hidden reference to his Boston background, is a cool Easter egg.
Why is Ben Afflec driving a Duster with grey primer !!!
Check that 58' Plymouth Fury the Judge turns past in the beginning!!
Just noticed the chevelle he had didnt have that cb radio antenna on the back when we first see the car, but did that night. Must’ve had it installed for summer cruising.
Nobody talking about the 72 Cheyenne?
I dunno why Ben Asslick's 2 yr. old Duster was in primer. Few other minor things were incorrect for '76.
Like certain aftermarket wheels. Minor shit. Killer movie!
Also the padded steering wheel on the 72 c10 is from an 88 to 94 silverado
@@davidbrakefield6825 I knew something about that bothered me. Good catch!
Ben Affec could afford a better car than that Duster !!!
I think it was a dodge demon primered
gah that intro 🥹
Did anyone notice the 87 s10 blazer parked during the car chase?
Just did! It's before 1:13 in the video. The red firebird in the scene with the female hazing , it's toward the left, has 80s IROC Cameron wheels. Minor inconsistencies, but they can be spotted
C a m a r o wheels damn spell chek
Love this movie too,.you can escape the crap filled smart phone/social media world,..... electric cars may be fast, etc,.but they will never be this cool,...never.
3:47 i've seen this movie so many times and i never noticed the superbird
Better have your wood screws ! Lol 69 GMC 2wd my baby
Why they didn’t feature a 69 camaro is the biggest question but still some clean rides
If i was somehow transported back to the 70s i would probably have a heart attack just trying to figure out what kind of vehicle id want. My god the choices lol
🥳🍻🥡🤮 hot women, cool cars, great actors and cool music, love this film 🤮🥡🍻🥳
0:48 No Quema Cuh 🤣
@3:47 I’ve never noticed that Superbird in the movie before.
Say man, you have names for these cars? It’d be a lot cooler if you did!
Don't know specific years but, not in order. Chevy c10, Plymouth Duster, Pontiac GTO, Chevy Chevelle. That's not including the background cars.
Melba Toast !!!!
O cara ta chapado pra carai
Forgot the coach's Bronco.
0:47-1:56-2:10
They left out the 76 El Camino that Pink drove.
Watch the leather seats man !!!!
❤❤
Damn, They had some nice as trapezoid like sports cars back then, And I bet they weren't that hazardous when they got into some accidents.
70's American Graffiti.
They had Christine in the back
Peerickfords judge is badass but there's no car in this movie that will touch woodersons Chevelle,only cause they didn't put a real 442 in there,not sure why but whatever 🤘 love all those cars,but the Cutlass should have in there!!!
What is the pink convertible at 2:25
Volkswagen Thing.
One thing that bothered me is that they had muscle cars for days and they picked those two cars for the only chase scene... bruh lol
Never had there burgers
