I drive this very road every day to work. It is located outside Petaluma, CA. For years you could still see the painted start line across the road. Memories.
The drag race scene is a heart-pumping thrill ride that leaves us on the edge of our seat, and the film's nostalgic soundtrack takes we back to a simpler time. It's no wonder why this movie has stood the test of time and remains a beloved favorite among film enthusiasts.
*AAAAAAAA MY GOD!!! YES!!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN 50 YEARS SINCE THIS BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE CAME OUT!!!* I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY RE-RELEASE!!!!
In a way yes but he wasn’t racing when he got in the crash, the other car was speeding and hit him while he was pulling into his driveway. He did have a love of hot rods and car racing culture of the time. It was during his recovery that he got into film and the found the love of directing.
The whole film is autobiographical for George. The only character he has said he couldn't relate to is Steve. He did have friends that were like him though.
Love how after the crash and after all their goading throughout the movie, Jon actually checks on Bob Falfa and helps him away from the burning car as he does actually have some mutual respect for him as a fellow racer. Jon’s seen them all come and go.
Fast and Furious glorified dangerous street racing, American Graffitti didn't. In fact the moral was 60's street cruisin was balls out fun but street racing was dangerous and stupid.
"The drag race scene in 'American Graffiti' is a heart-pounding thrill ride! The tension builds, and just when you think you know what's going to happen, everything takes an unexpected turn. The energy and excitement in this moment perfectly encapsulate the spirit of the film. 'American Graffiti' remains a timeless classic with its gripping scenes and nostalgic vibes. 🚗💨🎬"
Our life is but a vapor !! 50 years goes by in a blink ! Just did our 50th Class reunion ! OMG....! Life is cruel ! Lol ! I still tell people I wasn't always this ugly ! It's the ones that don't flinch when I say that, that worries me ! 🫲😳🫴 Class of '73
Wikipedia says two cameramen were nearly killed in this drag race scene-I wonder what the details were involving that. There seems to be no information on it.
فكرتي في هدا الامر هي ان سيارة ميلر كانت ذات هيكل اكتر احكاما واقل ارتفاعا على الارض لذا كام من الاسهل تسريعها والبقاء على خط مستقيم كانت سيارة فالفا هيسفي علوية والتعليق الامامي غير مستقر بهده السرعة العالية Yassine good❤🎉

I wonder how much of this is autobiographical considering Lucas almost died in the exact same way.

Steve became Richie. Curt became Ralph. Toad became Potsie. And John became The Fonz.
Yup, saw this at local cinema on first release, rip wolfman!
The classic from George Lucas, some say this came out before star wars a new hope
That’s because it did! 1973. ;)
What do you mean “some say?” It either did or it didn’t 😂
@@Veegs. have you ever seen top gear? Jeremy clarkson used to say that it was a joke
@@MAHKSALK Oooh, that’s hilarious haha I’ve seen several TG episodes but don’t recall that
What a super colossal movie.spectacular events and extraordinary story.super special effects with a nice touch of the director

Father Time is undefeated
I got Milner slightly ahead, he wasn’t pulling away. Tire blew, he never had a chance.
He stayed! Did Jr college for awhile

For a movie taking place in the late 1950s, it's a bit surprising that they were wearing seat belts!

The movie that caused Harrison Ford to sign his life away...

For sure, when the black 55 is plowing off the road, the camara there is very close.
