The devestation on daves face when he picks himself up. All his dreams vanished in a second. This movie got it all right. Still a classic that I watch on a regular basis
As you maybe imagine, this movie did not do so well in my home country :) But now I am an American citizen but not quite a cutter. This is my favorite American film ever.
@@jmysterio100 I’m an American but I’ve been learning Italian for awhile. At first the kid is saying hello, how are you? Then the guy says prendiamo which means “we take it”. Meaning they’re going to win, i assume. Then, after they’ve waved him on, the guy that messes up his chain says “tutto fare” i think , which means handyman. He’s probably saying “I’m such a handyman”. :). I couldnt understand what he said after that when he flipped him off, but bravo (after that) is a pretty well known word so i don’t need to translate that. lol
I love Finland as much as he loves Italian. I grew up in Germany and there was a Finnish Rockband playing and I was so excited to run into their back up singers to use some Finnish phrases which I totally butchered but they were a first class act and very welcoming. I get the scene here when you've prepared a long time to meet and be able to use what you've learned and practiced, it's exciting, but in this instant it backfired and was disappointing.
This movie made such wonderful decisions. The choice not to use subtitles, because derision is a language universally understood... the decision to overlay the scene with the Barber of Seville. Absolutely artful.
I took a class called "Music Appreciation" in college and the teacher shows us clips from this movie. He sure picked a great movie to explain how music can impact a movie scene.
American cyclist Eddy Van Guyse played the Italian with the tire pump. He was a race announcer for years. Haven’t seen him in ages. Hope he’s well. And the first race bike I ever owned is in that peloton somewhere. I bought it from a guy from Bloomington who was an extra in that scene. Great stuff.
Some nice hardware there. Dave Stoller is riding the finest bicycle ever made the :Masi Gran Criterium and the Italians are riding Colnago. It didn't get any better than that. A great movie.
I was an amateur racer in Central California in the early 1970's. I couldn't afford a Masi, or any higher end Italian or English frames like a Bob Jackson, so I ended up with a Peugeot PX-10 with double butted Reynolds 531 chrome molybdenum tubing. I still have it, but all the French components have been replaced by Campagnolo components.
I lived and biked in Michiana for six years between South Bend and St. Joe, MI., and loved going to Indiana. It’s the exact charming picture of beautiful Midwest America, and it really comes off in these scenes.
Such splendid use of the overture to "The Barber of Seville." I always thought it was a piece that conveyed motion. Thus, the imagery of bicycles goes perfectly with this.
Met the guy who plays Dave (Dennis Christopher) at L'Eroica 2016 in Paso Robles. Really cool guy! My dad, who was really into bicycles showed me this movie when I was a kid and I'm glad he did as it is such a great film. Unfortunately, he passed away a couple years ago and while it would've been awesome if he too met Dennis, I'm sure he'd be happy that I at least got to meet him :)
How fortunate for you having gotten to meet him. FWIW, I lived in the area for about five years in which this movie was set and where it was filmed, Bloomington, Indiana, and it's a real gas sitting there and recognizing about half of the places shown in the movie.
wow-- Paso Robles... I was a Boston, Mass bike messenger forever and made the mistake of taking the 101 down into SLO on a fixed gear, super scary-- but if one timed it right you could hit the lights at the bottom of the rise and just scream into town. so many great bike parts being machined there.
@@simbalantana4572 Paul Dooley was hilarious in the movie..In my opinion his performance was just brilliant..I still laugh every time i watch that movie watching him getting all flustered at poor Dave.
@Randy White he's a little twit that doesn't like to be approached by fans for pics or autographs. I can see why he has such a big rivalry with Peter Hook.
@donnovicki9771 I could remember my first Masi is a track bike that had campanola Pista track Grupo in 1971 I still have that bike today but don't ride it much.
Saw it in 1979 with the family. Loved it then, love it now. Probably because the director gave it such an "authentic" look and feel that many other films that have covered similar terrain just miss. This seems to be a forgotten one but it deserves "classic" all over it and is a great example of excellent movie production with characters you care about.
I remember this in the theaters when I was a teenager. I had just started bike racing at the time. 12 Speed at best and no sti or ergo levers. The break cables sticking up looked cool so we thought. We used to race bikes just like this back then. I still have my old bike and it doesn't see daylight anymore. Thanks To Campagnolo and Shimano we don't have equipment like this anymore!
Yea unfortunately when he starts tearing down posters off his wall his Eddy Merckx poster goes right along with them!!! Eddy isnt even italian, he’s Belgian!!!!! Poor Eddy!!!!!
In an interview Eddy Van Guyse (the Italian rider) and technical adviser who really saved the movie said they had a mattress on the side of the road and he timed his pump into the spokes with a tree branch on the road.
More than either of the Godfather films, this scene shaped my perception of Italians; Southern Italians really. Eugenio Monti, the bobsledder, was a perfect gentleman.
This and the following scene are fantastic. Dave lived in a sort of dream world and viewed things in a very idealistic way. Everything he did was motivated by something good and pure. And for him to be so disillusioned and in such a vicious manner was hard to watch. I’ve rarely felt so sad for a character in a movie. Such a good film!
Most people don't know that cycling is a team sport. The team protects their leader. If Dave had the other Cutters with him, this wouldn't have happened. And if it did, the team would be sworn to take revenge.
I think a great point in this movie is when Dave says something like: "everyone cheats" yet his whole Italian persona and relationship with Catherine was a type of "cheat".
i can total relate to this. i am a christian who used to really enjoy church but due to put downs , rejections , betrayal, and ridicule i am still a christian but my respect and passion for the church has gone . when i tried talking about this all i'"m told is who cares or go seek another church
Italians were Annoyed by him. They traveled a great distance and prepared a lot for this event and they take cycling serious. They didn’t have to cheat to win, they just wanted to shut him up.
@John Vento Instead of achieving victory in the bicycle race, David and his friends should have gotten revenge against the guy who caused him to crash which ,then, caused him to say "Oh daddy!".
I never noticed it before. Stoller's MASI Gran Criterium has Randonneur handlebars on it. Very weird. But, I do like the bike. Looks like a 54 cm. Just my size. I even like the color.
arklat interesting fact: the bike used in the race scene in this video is actually a sears bike that the prop team painted and made to look like the gran criterium, that way when Christopher crashed they didn’t ruin one of the actual Masi. That would be why it has randonneur handlebars. Masi actually declined supplying stickers for the sears bike to make it look like a masi, so the props team hand painted the head badge and decals.
@@thecomedyspot11 Yes, when I was there in college, I found every one of the places scenes where shot in this movie. I've been to all of them except the quarry. It's on private property and no longer accessible by the time I went to school there.
A cultural misunderstanding, guys. The Italians perceived Dave's distracting talk as a purposeful attempt to break their concentration and screw with them. They are used to the cutthroat competition of European racing, so obviously they thought they would cut him down to size.
You're overthinking it. They just wanted to win and did whatever they could to make sure any possible challengers were no threat. That was Dave, the only one strong enough to keep up with them.
Great movie, one of my all time favorites. I read somewhere that none of the riders on Team Cinzano were actually Italian, unfortunately. Maybe it was hard to cast Italian cyclists in the area? Is there any truth to this?
The guy that put the pump in his wheel Is Eddy Van Guyse. He's Belgian but grew up and raced in Chicago. I had him as a P.E. Cycling class coach at Cal State Dominguez Hills over 30 years ago.
Knowing Italians (I worked in Milan) I think they'd be a little perturbed being portrayed this way. They are fierce competitors, but this kind of sabotage? Never met anybody there would stoop to that. Probably why they couldn't get real Italians to portray the cyclists. Maybe Italian speaking American actors, yes. Plus, you can tell how they rounded the corner that they weren't using efficient pedaling strategy.
It would've been pointless, given this was back when Greg LeMond was still an unknown junior, Americans knew less of European cycling than they do today.
God this just makes you hate Italians doesn't it? That was like super dangerous for what happened too. Our hero could of done that same front wheel fling off into the pavement instead of the grass. Finally got a copy of this on DVD a couple of days ago and watched it again. Funny how the college cycling group goes out on training rides and not a cap between them and all that hair and sweat! Caps are a life saver for that. What I especially dig is that my fairly new road bike is one of the very few models out there with a steel frame and classic lines like the bikes in 1979. It's much closer to these than most anything made in the last ten years! Aesthetically bikes from these years were the coolest.
If he was going to go down, how about leaning into them and taking them out when he fell? If a fan at the TDF can wipe out half the field holding just a sign, I think he can do the same.
Students at Indiana University, where the film is set, call locals "cutters" because the working-class men of the town cut limestone from the quarries to help build the university. The students saw them as low-class idiots. Actually, in Indiana, they were called "stoners," but that was changed for the film for obvious reasons.
I reember see this MOvie probably in the very early 1980's, maybe even 1979. I saw it at the Universitiy in the Medium Size Upstate City I was going to College in. I really liked this movie and was shocked by this Scene. How evil the Italian Bike Racers were. Looking back at it, I would have liked to have seen what would have happenned if someon had actually filmed this Scene and then all the Italian Bike Racers would have been arrested and maybe even lynched for assaulting an Innocent INdiana Kid. Then it would have been a different Movie. But don't they in all Races, Bike, Track or even Car, etc have someone tracking the Partifcipants so they don't cheat?
And just like that, he found out that his hero's were monsters.
Saw this film in the theaters with my dad. Great film.

Maybe they were brand snobs. Dave's bike was a Masi; the Italians rode Colnago bikes.
