RIP Mr Blake. An odd troubled man who was in some great movies and shows. The movie I always think of when his name comes up is Electra Glide In Blue. It's classic gritty 70s movie, and if you have not see than one, see it.
Watch 'Busting' stars Robert Blake amd Elliott Gould, directed by Peter Hyams. It's a cop drama - the movie was a blueprint for the 70's television series 'Starsky & Hutch'.
@@Siraj75 I thought it was the two real-life NYPD cops Dave Greenberg and Robert Hantz, nicknamed Batman and Robin, who influenced Starsky and Hutch. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Super_Cops
The roll call shot early on where they slowly go down the row of tough cop faces and . . . you can barely see the top of Wintergreen's helmet...excellent. It sets him us as the longshot underdog and keeps him there no matter how capable he shows himself to be.
No such thing as a tough cop. They are dependent on their gang, weapons and a corrupt US government to back them up. Oh, and their silly costume, of course.
The best movie Robert Blake ever done! It's probably the only Robert Black movie I ever liked. His TV series Baretta was the 2nd thing he's ever done that I liked.
Ahh nobody gunna read this but my grandad named his band in 82 after this show and had a tattoo of a skull with “Electra glide” above and under it, soon I’ll get the same because fuck it sounds badass
Negative negative negative. I remember when this came out (and saw it many times!) and the voice over said, "A five foot two man in a six foot one world". What happened to THAT trailer, huh?
Stupenda pellicola, certo non è chissà che cosa ma è un piacevole giallo e poliziesco con un finale tragico e riuscito, c'è un anacronismo cioè il manuale per i dispositivi di controllo del traffico pasticcio. In una delle scene in cui le motociclette della polizia inseguono gli altri motociclisti, è chiaro che la segnaletica stradale è stata ridipinta con il nuovo sistema giallo e le riprese mostrano entrambi, quindi stupenda e stupenda per me come valutazione è 8.
Hilarious movie... I was Rollin my ass off! Great acting, steady pace not boring. This movie had some kool characters, fun police chase stunts and a real sad ending.👍👍

My dislike for MGM is pretty much,that they don't honor the United Artists history,which is way more better,despite the "HEAVEN'S GATE" fiasco in 1981,that made it possible for United Artists to be brought by MGM,when they lost millions on that movie! "ELECTRA GLIDE IN BLUE" was among many of the top UA movies of the 1970s,when they were still owned by Transamerica,,and today,MGM is nothing more,but a privately owned investment of financial partners,run by Gary Barber,and does nothing original anymore,but remaking and ripping off their own Film and TV library,or having to do their movies through co financing,with SONY,(who are among the co investors,with four other consortiums) and overall,this is absolutely pathetic! MGM today,stands for "MisGuided Management",since they're pretty much about surviving on their massive library,through the buying of United Artists,Orion,PolyGram Filmed Entertainment,and Samuel Goldwyn,,plus surviving their recent Chapter 11 situation some five plus years ago-seriously pathetic! they've recently reinstated United Artists,but it's simular to what they allowed in 2006,when actor Tom Cruise and his manager Paula Wagner,were allowed to management this company,but with extremely disappointing results ("LIONS FOR LAMBS" and "VALKYRIE") so they currently leased out the division to actress Roma Downey and Mark Burnett,as "United Artists Media Group",which is equally as pathetic as Tom Cruise's previous handling! that's why MGM today,is in seriously bad shape,despite barely being able to do it's business,like the former Hollywood studio that it once used to be,when they owned the Culver City lot,which is now owned by SONY-also pathetic! all the serious mismanagement over the decades,sure damaged this studio,nor did selling their birthright to Ted Turner in 1985 help any,since his company merged with Time Warner in 1996,and eventually becoming the property of Warner Bros.Entertainment,which now owns a good portion of the classic Metro Goldwyn Mayer Movie and Television library! a very bad piece of financial and corporate mismanagement,with highly inferior results,in the present!

I love this film the same way I love Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Very 70s. Full of atmosphere with really great characters.

Check out The Hot Rock with Robert Redford- like a time capsule
Thunderbolt And Lightfoot is one of my favorites for sure.

Agree 👍👍👍
Rest in Peace Actor #RobertBlake 1933 - 2023 Hollywood Fan
Several cameo appearances by the rock band Chicago in this plus Terry Kath playing bass on a lot of the soundtrack.
Heartbroken over the passing of robert blake a childhood hero
RIP Robert Blake. Still have this Soundtrack Album and posters. The Record Cover was on the wall of Captain's Office in "Hill St. Blues"...

Saw this when I was 13 or 14, Rob zombie was hosting the showing of the movie late night on TCM, miss those days
Love this movie! One of my all-time favorites!
Saw this at my small community drive in theater back in the 70's. Miss those days!
Ah Yes The "Drive In" , Most at Our Local One didnt watch Too many movies, More Of Beverages & Mingling/Socializing
@@Nomadcreations Yes, that's the main reason I missed those days. We didn't really stop to watch the movie unless it was an exceptionally good one!
@@x00p3 Young People Just Wont Ever Know the Ambiance Of a drive In show
Was twelve years old when this came out. Awesome movie.
yeah remember seeing it as a kid,thinking wow.this is cinema.
The best movie Robert Blake ever done! It's probably the only Robert Black movie I ever liked. His TV series Baretta was the 2nd thing he's ever done that I liked.
In Cold Blood with Blake was his finest performance, Electra is not too far behind
i realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online?
@Kylen Riley i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Jake Maxton definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D
@Jake Maxton Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it !!
Ahh nobody gunna read this but my grandad named his band in 82 after this show and had a tattoo of a skull with “Electra glide” above and under it, soon I’ll get the same because fuck it sounds badass
I read it, dude! Great story.
Just read it!
Did you get the tattoo?
@@PAPIII34 not yet, was busy getting the other family tattoos but it's on the list, thanks for reminding me with a comment!
I just named my new band ElectraGlide .. the youth in the band never heard of it but thought it sounded coolsfk so that's us now, logo and all
RIP Bob
🕯🕯🕯
This reminds me of Billy Jack movies.
Darn good flick. Shame it didn't get rave reviews and more attention.
Robert Blake Was A Brilliant Wonderful Performer

That's what I wanna see!
A GIANT of a film.
You're not wrong!!!
something about young Robert Blake in a leather jacket drives me wild!!!
Did you know that me and Robert Blake are exactly the same height?
@@Nat.Dialogue
Right down to the quarter inch?
@@theanalogkid6555 I'm afraid that's classified
Fantastic movie . Didn't get much publicity when it came out.in my top 10
The best movie ever seen
RIP Robert
Now I know what inspired Lustig for the Maniac Cop intro!
A very underrated movie
I only saw this movie once but never forgot it or how it ended.
Vastly under rated movie ! Even though I never like mini man Robert Blake, it was still a unique plot , and a surprising ending.
You wanted to became a detective. Well, Mr. Baretta, it looks like you succeded
Great movie.

Kinda surreal after watching him in the Our Gang comedies and "Mokey".
Good show, RIP.
I'm gonna do for you what took somebody 6 mos. to do for me... What's that? Nothin'! 🤣
Definitely gonna watch this
I'm jealous, I wish I could watch for the first time again, CLASSIC!!!!
I introduced a local police motorcyclist to this movie he didn't know about it.
A great flick! 👍💕
Where’s Terry Kath?
In the van with the shotgun.
Saw this as a double feature at the drive-in. Great days. It's actually filmed liked a Western in the style of the 40's and 50's.
Never saw this movie 🎬. Too young 1st time round❤️
Terry Kath is in this. Google it
Hilarious movie... I was Rollin my ass off! Great acting, steady pace not boring. This movie had some kool characters, fun police chase stunts and a real sad ending.👍👍
No way did the rider stay on that Police bike at 2.50 !
This trailer doesn't serve the film well at all. It is a much more complex movie than the trailer portrays.
This film is a cult favorite among police on the west coast.
I sued a bad LAPD cop. His defense for hurting me was he's short so cops always tease him.
This movie helped me get through it. And I won!
We still call him Tiny Cop.
