I was a kid in the 1950s. I remember the new cars, nickel Cokes, etc,etc,etc. It was a different world back then. I would love to go back.
Me too! I never dreamed that the culture would become so full of debauchery and swill.
Lucky blokes.
Me too. In the fifties and sixties everything seemed special.
Everything seemed nice and normal then. Now it's a freak show.
@@browngreen933probably not what many parents believed…
Wow! The Riddler when he was just a kid.
a kid. you realise Batman was only made 9 yrs later. born 1933. 23 yrs old.
Back in 68 my mom and dad took me to a strip where stock cars could run, just pay a 5 buck fee. Dad had a 67 Fairlane with a 390ci with 4 barrel he entered. I can't remember what they put him up against, but he won...lol. And I was hooked from then on. As teenagers we lived in a small town where they wouldn't let us use an abandoned air strip, so we street raced. Every Friday night cars from everywhere showed up. Even the local deputies around midnight would sit on a overpass bridge and watch. We had spotters at the curves with flashlights to warn of any, if any, cars coming. We had a blast, great days, these kids today don't know what they're missing.
We had a ‘68 Torino GT fastback with the 390 4bbl, quite a beast back then and Nascar champ too.
As a Jr in HS (1968) I had an ALL STOCK '62 Impala SS "409" 4spd, hipo heads, dual 4s, close ratio 4spd, positraction and it came WITHOUT factory PS!! Passed everything on the road except the gas stations!! And it ran best on Chevron Ethel (gold label) Custom Supreme gas which was 45.9c a gallon and I thought that was terrible!!
@@USCG.Brennan😅 lol. You've brought back some fond memories for me. I had a 69' Chevelle SS 396, only 3:73 gears with a Posi., 4 speed Tranny, all stock too. I did a bit of street dragging, won some, lost some.
I used the same fuel as you. I too griped about the cost per gallon but, that Big Block required high octane fuel.
Yep, good ol' days.
Thanks for sharing the trip down memory lane.
@@harrisonmantooth7363 You betcha.....now go watch American Graffiti and live it all over again!! ;-)
I can’t believe I just watched this whole movie? People were a lot cooler back then. And life looked more simpler.
Let's just call it "the great American hypnosis."
Well...this is a movie, not reality. The 1950s had an upside, and also a downside, just like any other era.
A classic flick for gearheads showing the Golden Era. Not the drama of the Fast and the Furious franchise, but still a forerunner of fun.
Well said !
That's "fun" nobody needs.
Drama? More like eyestrain and headache
The "Rapid and the Ridiculous" is more like it.......excitement for all the 12 year olds out there!!
Golden era? More like the grey era. There were a lot more between Fast franchise and this heap of junk.
Real 50s hot rods and customs - That Ford pickup with the stacks and wheels was a treat!
Yes it was a treat!! I was trippin on that too!! ✨
Not a fat person in sight, that's one thing that stand outs in these 50's and 60's movies....
but lots of smoking lol
No Israeli names on the credits yet either.
@@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu this country is going 2 h e double el. ran by rich people for rich people. i grew up in the 60s and 70s. different as nite an day. my only screw up was thinkin that everything would cont. gettin better. not.
You could afford to eat healthier back then , im58 and my family never believed in crappy fast food joints, we still grow our own gardens , hunting and fishing,canning etc, none of this pre-cooked garbage people throw in the oven or microwave 👍✌
No face tattoos, nose rings, or fake boobs either.
My Dad was a firefighter I remember those old Caddy ambulances...great cars
My dad was a firefighter as well. I remember going down the pole grate fun.
Back in the Day
No Cages or Helmet
Thanx for Sharing this Great Movie 🎥 Us
Have a Great Day 👍
God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Thank you for uploading this old piece of gold, so I had the chance to see John Smith in action before he became Slim Sherman. :)
1953 to 1963 .....The best 10 years in this country . Not going into all the reasons , most can figure it out
It's pretty easy, the social reforms the 30's hadn't been erased yet and America gained tons of wealth looting Germany and Japan.
I, like you, lived through that era, as a child, and as a young teen. It was superficially great, especially if you were a White person, and part of a solid American family--which I was. But, as a teen, I began to be aware that there were problems under the surface of our very conformist society--and in the 1960s, those problems showed up, big-time!
I agree. Morality and law and order. Wonderful time to be alive.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Wrong. It was great in depth. The black family was intact and not dependent on government welfare. Blacks were far better off then than now. Blacks make up 60% of the prison population today, not back then. Blacks are far more likely to be murdered, far more likely to be unemployed, not back then.
@@curbozerboomer1773 It's always good to be white, anywhere you are, because you can find other whites and build actual civilizations.
Even in South Africa where all whites are targeted for torture and murder, the blacks still have it worse because they still do the same to each other.
Great old flick great job digging up a good oldie
B Flicks are the absolute best .🎬📽🎥
They're the mostest!
@@riverraisin1
Oh yes! That was the host with the most.
Might be being generous on rating.
I remember watching this and being disappointed that the Hot Rod Girl was only a supporting character. The origin of modern clickbait 😁
And Frank Gorshin. I never thought he went back that far in movies.
Bad to the bone 🦴 old school American muscle 💪 old movie 🍿 I love to see it again give you five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love Joe Comforts bass work in the soundtrack....the guy bounces on his bass... fantastic
Good movie worth watching.
In 50's Hollywood, you got a problem....Let's Race! 80's Hollywood you got a problem....Let's Dance🕺
2020 Hollywood: You got a problem? YOU'RE A RACIST! LOL. How times have changed!
We were still racing in the 80's!
2020's Hollywood, there's only two genders - - - Let's Trans!
No roll bars, no seat belts, no tempered windows,...drum brakes, Bias ply tires and open cockpits....wow, seems suicidal by today's standards.
Nah.....that makes it WAY more fun....
That’s all they had back then , wasn’t any Radial Tires , Disc Brakes etc
This was before bias ply tires. And Cha Cha was around about that time.
@@alb5489 you mean Shirley Muldowny?
yep...how did I survive in my 78 Manta without servo brakes and steering, brake assist, lane assistance, air bags all around me etc... damn, I must have been crazy to drive like that :)
Classic 📽️
Great to watch, Really enjoyed it
That was awesome. You have way too many commercials, but fortunately that was a very charming schmaltzy period flick! Love seeing the old cars and that Ford pickup with whitewalls and fake big rig exhaust ha. Who knew that was cool back then lol. Anyone around LA would recognize the Griffith Park parking area (near the old zoo and train iirc) and also the fairly steep windy road up to the Observatory. Just 1 year after Rebel Without a Cause was filmed there! There’s an old statue of James Dean on the side of the hill there. Great memories and documentation of the old drags that were just getting started! San Fernando, Long Beach Lions, Sacramento, a couple small ones is north SD County (Escondido?) etc etc. All good stuff from a little before my time ha. 🏁✨
I was expecting a white Bronco to pass them on that last slow chase!
The part of the slow moving white Bronco was played by John Elway...
What a time to be alive. I missed it by>< that much.
Good movie ! Enjoyed this one very much.
Awesome movie.. Thanks for the upload. Never i seethis one when I was a kid. and I DO remember the fifties
Holy crap...f-ing Frank Gorshen....I had no idea he went that far back.
I grew up down the street from that drag strip...
Which drag strip?
@@johna.4334 San Fernando
At 9:55mins, they are using 2 different black cars, the closeup of Steve shows the convertable top pins that holds the front of the top in place.
Well..back in the 50s thats more or less the way cars and kids were.
And yes there were tragic accidents as a result.
Still are even with all the safety equipment
Haha, I knew it was "The Rifleman", Chuck Connors, former Boston Celtics basketball player, as soon as I hear his voice, before they showed his face.
With all the races they showed her in, I sure can see why they named it Hot Rod Girl.
A very young Frank Gorshin with a Cagney impression.
Dabbs Greer as a decent guy? A rarity! He was always a loathsome character on Perry Mason LOL
Dabbs was in alot of shit
he was the reverend in little house on the prairie...
Holy Screemin' TRUMPETS, BATMAN!!! MAYNARD FERGUSON recorded this soundtrack!!!
That was an all star band. A lot of big name studio musicians.
I was at a drag park in CANADA when i got to meet CHA. CHA MULDONEY she was a fast leaver with that car of hers!
Great Movie, enjoyed it ! Thank you !
omg1 in all my years how could I have missed this classic movie? lol guess I must keep drinking cheap whiskey
Back when men were men and women were women and life was worth living!
It was a great time to be an American..if you were a straight white suburban male.
@@kramalerav but life was a lot better for minorities than the Civil War, until now, a black President, Congress, Drs, Lawyers, teachers, incredibly better now.
Greatest movie ever!!!!
😉 😎 😉
The actors, including Frank Gorshin of Batman (TV show) series. And a female racer, which was 50 years ahead of its time.
Sarah Christian was the first female NASCAR driver of all time. She competed in NASCAR’s first race on June 19, 1949 at Charlotte Speedway. Though she competed in just seven races over the course of her career, she opened the door to racing for generations of women to come.
Janet Guthrie was the first woman to compete in the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500 and the NASCAR Winston Cup Superspeedway race. She holds the best finish by a woman in a top-tier NASCAR race for her sixth-place finish at Bristol in 1977.
Nicknamed the “Drag-On Lady,” Shirley Shahan became the first woman to win a National Hot Rod Association pro event in 1966. As the daughter of a race car driver, she learned to drive at only 10 years old, and eventually became her father’s mechanic. She first started racing in the 1950s, and she won the first March Meet in 1959. A series of wins followed. After her 1966 Super Stock win at the Winternationals, she became a racing celebrity.
Also known as “Cha Cha” and “The First Lady of Drag Racing,” Shirley Muldowney was the first woman to get a license from the NHRA to drive a Top Fuel dragster. Shirley Muldowney has won a total of 18 NHRA national events. She won the NHRA Top Fuel championship in 1977, 1980 and 1982, making her the first person to have won two (and then three!) Top Fuel Championships.
As a French rally driver, Michele Mouton competed in the World Rally Championship from 1974 to 1986. She’s one of the only women to ever compete in that series. In 1981, she began driving for the Audi factory team and won her first event.
Named among the “Top-100 Women Athletes of the Century” by Sports Illustrated, Lyn St. James was the first woman to win the Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award. She specialized in endurance racing, and won two class victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona and the GTO Class at 12 Hours of Sebring.
Lyn St. James was also the first woman to reach over 200 mph on a race track. She was president of the Women’s Sports Foundation from 1990-1993, and she has served as a panelist on NASCAR’s National Motorsports Appeals Panel since 2015.
From March 21, 2022 AAA article, _Pioneering Female Race Car Drivers._
Good movie! The constant ads and interuptions are annoying though.

Agreed, ads are necessary but not THIS many, every 4 minutes is pretty ridiculous.
Burt Reynolds, while being interviewed on the Letterman show, cautiously let out the fact that his first female "conquest" after arriving in Hollywood in 1957, was Lori Nelson! Nice work if you can get it--and he got it! lol.
great movie
I dig Gorshin's manner and banter, man 😎
Frank Gorshem was good in "up hill all the way"with Burl Ives ,Roy Clark ,Mell Tillis,Burt Reynolds.On utube.Oh yea and Sheb Whooley cannot forget him.
'Hot Rods in Low Gear' this should've been called. lol
Such a cool movie!
I think the moral is its better to fist fight at the diner than go sort it out by dangerous driving.
Cool old movie , 😎👍
Al Cowlings could learn a thing or two about low speed pursuits from this.
Very good movies.. i would have been there in 1956 ....
i have this on dvd also. cool film.
for some reason I remember the "Church Key" LOL...
Never saw this. Looking forward to it. Like to watch any movie released my birth year
Same
Funny, her wheels went from white to black to white
Great Movie! I love that T-Bird. Gotta cringe though on how those hot rods were so dangerous. People got maimed!
Wow! Who did the closed captions? They were the vest I have ever seen. Spot on dialog, accurate descriptions of sounds and music. I have never, and I've watched a lot of stuff in 61years, never seen such an accurate caption presentation, and of a movie that you know didn't come with it.
Good old days. One thing I noticed is streets were much cleaner, not like today's full of trash.
Yup, lots of trash--and human trash now, too!
Maynard Ferguson listed in the credits as a band member. Trumpet, of course. Cool.
Along with Barney Kessel on guitar! Quite a group of musicians.
Good for a b grade movie
Thirty seconds of detective work by looking at the bumpers for any sign of a kid-sized dent would be helpful.
ive seen this on a dvd. its a good movie.
Built my first rod in 55 an olds powered 1940 ford coup!
I think there's about a minute of advertising to every five minutes of film. It's as if YT is actively trying to piss me off.
I've never seen an ad on youtube... try an ad blocker like uorigin or something...

Oh those reckless youths! Give me my horse and buggy every time!
If the teens stop street racing, we will give them a legal track. But if the kids keep street racing, we'll punish them by not building a track so they can only race on the street. That will show em!!
But there gonna outlaw hot rods, so there is always that.
I can't believe we would sit next to the strip with no guard.the cars back then weren't that fast, but the orange crate (1932ford) sedan and Chevy towns Vette ran in the mid 130s.l haven't been with out a 1932 ford since 1957 (80 years old now),also had big block Chevelle,64gto,67 Vette,69camero amongst others.
The Sodbuster and the Riddler!
The rifleman with a drag strip!
The most legal fun you can have back then. Too bad it’s not like that now
The future riddler from batman on here 😊 and rifleman
Chuck Connors and John Smith, pre 'The Rifleman' and 'Laramie'.
John looks great
The 50s were my time too.
Back then it took brains
Now lots of money
Isn't that the preacher from Little House on the Prarie?
Yes! It’s Reverend Alden! (Actor: Dabbs Greer)
Chuck Connors,,Rifleman,,John Smith Larimie,,Frank Gorshin Riddler..
Good movie💯
Isn't this a series of teensploitation B movies with Chuck Conners playing a cop who tries to help wayward teens? I'd sure like to know more about it. When did he have time to play for the Dodgers?
I was thinking the same thing he must have got up to bat oh, 3 ,4 times! Just kidding "Iron Jaw"
@@bobball3719 And "teensploitation" is being generous. Everybody in this movie was over 30 including Frank Gorshin and the chick with the TBird that held the 98mph record at the track. I think her nickname was Ball Joint
@@Bigstooler0
Who cares? Ever watch "Grease?"
@@handsomeman-pm9vy I guess I do and no I'm one of the few who did not. I remember back in the era when this was filmed everybody on TV and the movies was way over the age they were portraying, I'm pretty sure, and we just let it go. Looking at this now it seems like a very odd policy and very common place throughout the industry. Maybe bypassing the labor laws for underage talent but these guys look ridicules to ME. Kinda like Fonzie when he jumped the shark and the Bowery Boys later films. I got a good laugh out of it anyway. Everybody in Saving Private Ryan was over the average age of soldiers in WWII but it doesn't hit me the same way as this one. Odd...
I shot my first drag race there in 1965
Not worth watching this channel when you have commercials every five minutes good Lord
4 in the first 12 minutes...
I remember the good ole days before cable television when the networks ran ads....
every 15 minutes.
Download file and watch it offline. No commercials....😁

Chuck Connors...'The Rifleman'..
Hot Rod Rumble (1957) used some scenes from this movie. Shots of the white T-bird and the announcement speakers to name a couple. I only realized it because I'd just watch that movie first.
The Tub- T Hot Rod was also in "The Choppers" a 1960 film.
Toller Film,
The 1950's
The Lady wore a dress
To a drag race
Hey, it that the original Riddler?
LORI NELSON, MERRY ANDERS, AND BARBARA EDEN also stared in the TV SERIES from 1957, "HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONARE" based on the hit Movie with Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Becall. Lori Nelson was always working. I was a boy of 11 and was crazy about her !
Supposedly, Lori drove a T-Bird, covered with feathers, around the streets of Hollywood...and she also "drove" quite a few young actor guys crazy, too!
San Fernando Drag strip... we called it the 'cheat strip' you could get away with murder under your hood.
Grew up in the San Fernando Valley in the fifties, sixties and seventies. My first vehicle was a 1956 Ford Custom Cab pickup which I hopped up and refinished . Had all the interior diamond tucked and installed new wood bed with new chrome strips and a lot more. Wish I still had it . Fun days.
Way, way too many ads!!
Ads before the beginning titles even rolled.
The rifleman
The musicians get credited first!
stellar 50's west coast jazz band
Ads every 4 minutes! Was uploading this supposed to be your get rich quick scheme? Good luck with that.
Dig that crazy jive. We reach. We reach.
ads every 2 1/2 minutes in first 12 minutes
no thanks,
goodbye
I didn't get any ads.
Why is this movie called Hot Rod Girl?
Those races look too dangerous. I think the government needs to step in and make them safe.
The guy In the still picture is John Smith, from Laramie..
hello i'm looking for an old movie like this and it is crack and romance at that time the name is similar to this devil of the asphalt if i'm not mistaken you would know the name of the movie thank you very much
I wish I could have been about 14 back then.
no. Im not gonna fix it. Now get out of my shop.
hey that man with the hat made a appearance in car 54 where are you
What with the guy in the black leather jacket in that California heat?
