Richard Pryor deserved a supporting Oscar for this movie.
Jesus what a nostalgia rush. I first watched this with my mom when I was a kid. She loved this movie so much. She passed away in 2020. Little things like this still remind me.
Me also.
every time I see this scene I feel time stopped moving; back to where I was when I watched this the first time and wished it’d never stop - and its true it hasn’t - its been going on forever …
Silver Streak is like an old friend that you see only occasionally - a friend that makes you smile, feel good, appreciate memories (both good and bad) - and makes you wonder why you don't see them more often. This scene is almost bland in so many ways, yet it's one of the first ones I think of when Silver Streak pops into my mind. Then all the other good scenes and line come flooding forward. Ray Walston, Rita Babtree and the airplane, the shoeshine guy, Clifton James as the sheriff - supporting roles were outstanding here!
I saw it in the days when one could hire a projector and the film and see it at home. See the final crunch as the train hits the terminus - then play the film in reverse for extra laughs.
I saw it in the theatre in December of 1976.
The first "Star Wars" trailer was part of the prelude.

Something magical about this scene, it gives me chills.
I don't know if you live in the United States. But if you go up Interstate 91. To Interstate 89 and get off exit 2. Which will take you to Grand Island Vermont. And in certain parts of Grand Isle to New York will look like this scene. Then once you get into New York turn right on 87 then on to Montreal.

@@svenmartin840 This scene, with that RED Jag, was shot in CALGARY.
Glad to see so many others appreciating this true American classic. Gene Wilder was our finest comic actor, and this is one of his very best performances. This movie was my childhood.
The Jag is British, mate ha.
This is my favorite Gene Wilder movie
well said
I love gene he was amazing but he and Richard made each other stand out in their own ways

Beautiful Henry Mancini score!
My favourite scene from this film. Decades later, I can still remember how it made me feel when i saw it.
Me too.

@@svenmartin840 Thank you. I live in Canada, but that view in Silver Streak is so cinematic and beautiful. It must be amazing to see it in reality.

This is a beautiful scene between two of the greatest comedic actors since Abbott and Costello. R.I.P. Richard and Gene. ❤
this is indeed ... one of the best part...
the music and scene, it touches your heart..
Being a train nut I've loved this film since 76. Huge fan. Great fun.
Have you seen Narrow Margin (1990)?
@@TheTallMan50 Yes. Narrow Margarine.
The back projection effects in this film worked brilliantly. Especially here.
Soooooo agree. I love this film, and that scene has never left me from the day I first saw it in the theater in the 70s. Whenever I drive a stretch of road, I think of this scene. It's magical.
2020 and I still come back to this scene
Man this movie came out in 1976 and all the things that came and went in my mind and I always for some reason remembered this scene. I saw this in the movie theatre with my parents and can remember afterword going to school and seeing it on a billboard for a drive in theatre after. How somebody else can think of this scene and put it up 40 years later, life is really beautiful sometimes.
well said pal
Great movie!! RIP to Scatman Crothers, Jill Clayburgh, Gene Wilder, Len Birman, & Richard Pryor.
Mark Rushing As of 2019, I believe that Len Birman is still alive.
fez1964 so is Ned Beatty
Now we can add Fred Willard
SuperJackster01 I’ll be sad when Beatty goes. I’ve always enjoyed his performances, particularly from the ‘70s.
nkt1 Beatty also voiced Lotso in Toy Story 3
Prob the best scene in a movie for pure beauty and music
There are not many cars more beautiful in motion than the classic Jaguar XKE's. Beautifully shot, beautifully framed....wonderful film.
You just helped me so much, was trying to find make of car an you was On Point!!!!🤣👌
Thank u an bless u my friend🖖😇
And to think when they stole it, the price on the windscreen was 4999!!
@@harrykaine That would be 26k in todays money. Back then though used XKE's didn't bring that much in the us due to difficulty getting parts and finding someone who could work on them. They had quit making the xke in 74. However even though that is a later one it would bring good change today looks like the later 12 model.
My dad has one in his garage.
I agree!!!! been lovin this scene since I was a little boy!!!
This is absolutely thè most beautiful scene in this great movie.
Thanks sò much.
Filmed in Alberta, Canada...I know these roads well...and they do make you feel good when driving on them...a lot of time to think when driving in Western Canada.
The funny thing is the beginning when they leave ‘LA’ is actually Toronto, when they’re in Kansas City at the station in the famous bathroom scene it’s Toronto, and when the train arrives in ‘Chicago’ it’s Toronto union station. So going by the backgrounds they basically went from Toronto to Calgary and back lol 😂
GREAT CAR!
I love the way the XKE floats around that corner.
I remember this scene more than any other from this movie. Its just so well done.

I love the quiet... Just thinking and driving. Gene Wilder may Jehovah bless you for your talent. Richard you were one of a kind. Both geniuses. Both: RIP
Childhood memories
I'm not that old but seeing those old grain elevators brought me back to growing up in rural Alberta in the 1990s. This scene was shot in Carmangay, Alberta and those elevators and almost all the others around here are now gone. Thank you for sharing this scene. How I miss those simpler times
How fitting, most of the Smallville scenes from Superman (1978) were filmed in AB too
I never noticed before but he drives past them twice. Also, in the opening, shouldn't he be headed towards the sunrise? Either way I always loved this scene.
With the recent passing of ned Beatty I believe everyone is gone from this film one of my favorite it does not jump out at you but Pryor and wilder is magic together thanks for the memories rip🙏❤⛪😔all of you
such a great movie. glad I caught part of the 70s as a kid
Damn Gene was hauling ass in that Jag!
One of my favorite movie scenes of all time!
Thank you for posting this beautiful scene. I still think I am only 11 when I see it. I was so moved that others love this scene as much as I do. Then there is the music.
Thank you so much for this clip. On all fronts, this talent can will never exist again, so happy & grateful they will be remembered here. Oh, & nice Jag!
The intro of the song in this scene is actually better then the original one in the soundtrack.
OMG this takes me back. My mother worked as a cashier at the RKO National Movie Theater and I loved this movie. I loved that theater, unfortunately it closed now but it was kool!!!!
Aw, charming story. Who doesn't wish to go back and revive those wonderful times at the movies :D
@@clipfilmix thank you
My VHS tape of Silver Streak finally wore out this week, I have watched it so many times. A sad day. But thanks to this video I can still enjoy this most beautiful scene with Mancini's lovely music.
Loved this film since I first saw it in '81. Only realise now that he was driving my fav car.
The ethereal score of "Silver Streak" was my 2nd introduction into the wondrous music of Maestro Henry Mancini (after the Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky scores). "Hilly's Theme" exudes warmth, tenderness and introspection as few other musical pieces can. It marks the point when I began to actively search out any and everything crafted by Mancini.
This takes me back to when I was 13, when this movie came out. Man, the years have flown by.
Beautiful.... By the way, i miss my Mom....😢 The music....
while this is a good movie it is this scene that to me stood out the most. Something about the sound while driving though the country while the sun rose, it was gorgeous. it reminded me of the black stallion when the kid finally get to ride that horse on the beach, the music, the waves it also had the total ambiance that great scenes have.
absolutely
Me too.
Movie was great. Shooting of the movie took place in Okotoks, Highriver and other towns in Alberta. You can see the city of Calgary skyline here.
Yes, opening grain elevator scene is Carmangay, Alberta. Those elevators are gone now.
Omg yes I thought that was the Tower in the background
Couldn't be more agreed with your comments, thanks for sharin!
Love this scene!
One of the finest comedies ever, and an excellent homage to North By Northwest.
I loved this movie and this part is what made me fall in love with the Jaguar XKE
R I P Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder,Both were great in this 1976 Classic ,Lovely E Type Jaguar ❤❤❤❤
@stephenpowell5912 I like LAMBORGHINIS, but I truly appreciate the Jag XK series.
please dont delete this just love it thanks!!!
always loved this bit!!
I like this movie
Brilliant photography ❤
With Mancini Melody ❤ Jag 😊
Whenever I see this movie. And when I am driving through Grand Isle Vt on my way to Montreal. Some parts of Grand Isle are like this!!! And I feel like I am driving that 67 Jaguar
It was beautifully shot!
The start of this scene is so haunting..
My favorite shot in the movie.
🖖😇I just woke up an was searching an it was on again
🤣👌i loved it when I first saw it an I still love it🖖😭i have it in my DVR along with other old flicks but this is my favorite one an I miss all the actors in this movie😪😔so many im glad we are able to see them in this picture...😇👌
Wait... aren't these the two guys from "See no Evil, Hear no Evil?" Man... I love that movie...
Urza26 That's right. They also played Stir Crazy, Another You, and of course Silver Streak.
Silver Streak was their first movie together
k Gio and their best movie!! This is also my favorite Gene Wilder movie
Perfect.
幼少の頃この映画が大好き過ぎてもう100回くらいは観ている。その中でもこのシーンが一番好きなシーンである。いつかロサンゼルスからシカゴの大陸横断列車の旅をするのが幼少の頃に抱いた夢です。take it easy killer stay loose 無理するなよ どんな時も リチャード プライヤーのこのセリフも大好きです。
This was the very first movie what I recorded on a video tape VHS. So funny and lovely. Great actors.
Great film Sad Music
Just love this scene seeing during the dawn. One of my favourite all the time movies, I enjoy watching it in during the evening with the lights out.
Magic!
“Silver Streak” didn’t have any spark in it til Pryor and Gene are together onscreen.
Have to make it a ringtone.
@1:00 is perhaps one of my all-time favorite movie scene moments in any movie anywhere.
Classic!
Gracias.
Right on! I found a way to record the soundtrack off of the video back in the 80s...been listening to this for a long time. Great scene, too bad the soundtrack wasn't produced in greater numbers.
Love this scene & the whole movie. I first saw it (when I was around 13 years old) on german TV where it was called 'Trans American Express`
Thank you Henry Mancini.
Preciosa melodia
I always thought that looked too beautiful to be Kansas. And it was. It was actually the prairies of Alberta and that was Calgary that doubled for KC
Also in Superman (1978)
@@user-ve5ln5le9y yes, Smallville looked like a very nice and pleasant place. I always thought it looked like eastern Montana, not Kansas wheat fields.
The music of the great Henry Mancini whose birth centennial is in 2024
great ! thx
Looks like home
Saw a car like that parked along the street last year. I said, " That car's pure pussy." Nobody got it, but I did, and that's enough.
I love it too, I want to download it but I don't know the name of it.
Hilly's Theme by Henry Mancini
I`m a LAMBORGHINI guy. BULL RIDER!!!!! That red JAG XKE look to be a 1969, or 1970 model by looking at the front grill at the 2:09 mark. smok`in hot!!!
This is a 1968 2+2, based on the roofline, open headlights, and S1 grille & bumpers.
And yet they won't put it out on 4k or reproduce the bluray. Terrible
In the long shot is that them actually in the car? It doesn't.
I wonder what city is that in the end of the clip Thats not Toronto or Kansas City!!! LOL! Looks like Niagara Falls
That's Calgary, Alberta. Most of the movie was shot in Canada.
I think it´s calgary!!!!!
BUT...It's a greenscreen...
