0:23 I actually knew an older man named Mr Payne and he was a veteran and teacher and talked just like this😂 he died at almost 90 and alot of people showed up at his funeral... great guy!
I grew up watching this Movie. I'm on the east coast , the worst state nowadays. It makes smile too see a time that was still about making friends , yet having some good old fashion fun No harm done. Show you got heart and the rest is history Much peace We don't have that here at all
Last day of 8th grade going into freshman year, I had to watch this movie, one of the best depictions of the 70s ever!!! I was totally born in the wrong era, I wanna be in the 70s soo badly!!!
If you believe that we are all one being living subjectively through different lives and that time doesn't matter, it's easy to imagine that you DID live through these times. Cheers
@@butchrodgers9559Oooo he said it’s a good depiction of the 70s, that aughta really grind down in your gears real good. Like a little granite pebble, just gnashing into the teeth of a little sprocket. How f*cking dare him. Things he doesn’t know sh** about. Fkn told him. He knows now. Fk… you must have a 329 IQ
They don’t make movies like this anymore… Love this move so much. When I was about to graduate the rave scene was the best it’s ever been. We’d all hit the best rave parties and just party hop until the next weekend and hit the next rave. I miss those days…
Except for the Misfits patch on a biker's jacket that appears elsewhere in the movie. The Misfits didn't use that image until 1979 but the movie is set in '76.
This movie was about the high school kids at Huntsville High in Huntsville. Texas. I was at Sam Houston State University from 1975 to 1979 and witnessed alot of this. I also was in the same class as Richard Linklater..
This is a year later but that's so cool! I went to Sam Houston a few years back and learned that he attended that university as well. I didn't know he was basing it on Huntsville. That's so cool!
@@DancingAnaRodriguez I have found out later, Richard Linklater started at Sam in 1979 I believe. You should check out his movie "Everybody Wants Some" It's the sequel to Dazed and Confused only it's about his time at Sam Houston.
@@immobilien sorry for late response, I've been looking at your other comments. That really is so unique and fascinating to me, knowing I was going to school there and was living in the college dorms in Huntsville. And parts were filmed in Austin as well right? I live near Austin in the central Texas area.
@@immobilien tbh going to school it felt kind of clicky there. Although the university campus itself is beautiful. I ended moving back home, was just home sick and felt isolated there being from Austin. However Huntsville itself is kinda unique to me, it has that big jail there, as well as the town is kind o isolated with not much. But I'm in awe he was basing off his experience of the 70s in Huntsville. I think that's why I love it so much. Super cool
@Colton R I agree. I remember guys got into fights at school, but those were with fists and when caught, they took you to the office and you got your butt paddled. We shot rubber bands and spitwads, not guns. Parents instilled discipline at home when you were young and warned you of the consequences when you got home if you misbehaved at school. Yet, it was a safer and more fun/better life/world then.
@Rain Eclipse : It was safer because we did have it good. Our parents taught us to be respectful and responsible, the "R-words" more important that "my rights." We didn't bring guns to school to shoot our teachers & classmates or to the grocery store, mall or a parade with intent to harm or terrorize. Parents and school disciplined when we deserved it & supported us & gave a "pat on the back" of pride when we achieved. Yes, those were good days and safer ones because we worked & behaved better to earn them.
@Rain Eclipse : I don't disagree. We had problems then too and guess throughout history, every generation had their share of crazy/evil people and events. Having lived through both, I can compare. You don't have to agree, but in my judgment, it was better & safer then, than now.
As a woman, while I love this era, there were also some raging bitches as well as jock a holes…hence Parker Posey’s character. Every school had at least one…
One of the greatest movies ever! Such a fckn classic! A movie I can watch over and over and never get sick of. I feel like I’m hanging out with them every time I watch this.
Never noticed it before. Those two kids who tried to get away on their bikes were caught. You can see them taking their licks at 3:07 in the background.
@@xzekerman : I'm not sure the young lads today could endure a butt paddling, be it in fun with peers or the real ones as a method of punishment. Were you paddled growing up?
Never noticed that before either until now & have watched this movie (more than) several times since it came out. I guess I don't pay attention to background stuff but this time I did lol.
Another 90s classic you just can't replace it hell I live in seguin texas I live right up the road from the robo car wash where they filmed the car wash scene
Actually went to that school for 3rd - 6th grades. Georgetown, Texas baybeee!!!! We all fantasized about sliding down that fire escape, man. If there hadn’t been alarms & child-proof locks on the windows, believe me, we would have…consequences be damned!!!! 😝
I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie. When they showed the three guys in the black truck and I saw Melvins paddle I died laughing. SOUL POLE! HAHAHA 😂
I like how the senior girl was so appalled by that senior guy degrading the freshman girl, I mean yes it was appalling but she’s the one who go put the girl in that position, she’s the facilitator. Would she have preferred if he didn’t play along? What did she want here?
Yes but most of the senior girls weren’t taking the degrading seriously and were actually being understanding. The only senior girl taking it 100% seriously was Darla.
The only ritual that happened at my school was upperclassmen dumping freshman and 8th graders. Dumping was grabbing the kids after dark and driving out in the country a few miles and they would have to walk back to town. Usually u would get a couple beers to enjoy on the walk back. This is small town. Farm kids. U left ur keys in car with windows rolled down. Never locked ur house. Get pulled over for drinking, they poured out the beers and told u to go straight home or they were calling ur parents. I bought beer at the liquor store as a freshman convincing the lady I was a trucker. She never carded me all through high school. No curfews. 89’
I was from the 90s and we still did this. It was done to me in 6th grade by our middle schoolers and at 8th grade by high schoolers. We did it too. We didn’t go this far though. We just egged people and put shaving cream on them, then covered them in toilet paper
Yeah I started H.S. in 94. And freshman still got fucked with pretty bad! Not beat with paddles like you said. It was all good because it built character in the end. And made you tougher. You had to fend for yourself. No safe spaces. But no school shootings either!
We had "freshman friday" where after the first assembly welcoming the incoming freshman we would catch em and trash can them. Nothing serious, just stick em butt first into a trash can so they cant get out without help
Girls can be tough on each other too and bully as any boy might. Guys use to think girls should've been subjected to the school paddle equal to how guys got it. I'm not sure I would've wanted to overhear a girl being paddled. I suspect there would be yelps and crying. Were you hazed at some point or subjected to physical punishment at school or home growing up?
Not really, the boys had to endure emotional and physical trauma, and would have to dodge these guys everyday in high school. That's a lot of fear. The girls were only humiliated mildly and covered with condiments(big woop).
@@Dynamatrix2000 but once the paddling happens you are officially "initiated" and they woill give you a pass against other kids, get you into a few parties, etc. it happens to Mitch and Sabrina
3:03 When that 72( i think) chevy gets on it takin off after mitch and em fishtailing gets my blood goin everytime...same when they're racin (hope u got woodscrews im gon blow your doors off)
They came for me and my best friend at Graduation in 1975. This was fairly normal in High Schools in the area except that they only had "Open Season" on us for a few days. Our teachers let us bail early, and we hid out in my house with guns until they gave up. Normally, if they did not give you licks, they would throw you in the most polluted bayou in the town, : It was literally named "Turd Bayou". and itt lived up to its name.
American Graffiti, Dazed And Confused, American pie, American pie 2, and Superbad are the staples of American Life as a teenager in film. Teenage life will never be like that again...
@@davidhuff4562 I graduated in 1977 in NYS and it’s very accurate. We had the sorority’s that acted like that too with initiations. Dress, the kids, keg parties and cars. It’s uncannily accurate.
Your parents must've had you pretty early. I was born in 1978, my parents finished their schooling in the 1960s. I saw this first when I was 15 in late 1993. The fashions didn't look that far out to me because there had been a lot of rerun television from the late 70's and early 80s when I was growing up (and still was at that time) and because I'd seen a lot of films made in the 70s (like Carrie and Halloween and Dawn of the Dead) and because 70s fashion was doing a retro' rehash in 1993.
My junior high band director had a paddle like Mel's and O'Banion's ,except it had little holes drilled all over it ,and he had written on it Another One Bites The Dust. Should I mention he also lifted weights?😂
"25 of y'all ain't coming back" 🤣🤣🤣
I loved Mr. Paine😅
@@kat35lulu88 He sounds like a dude disguised as a dude and playing another dude!
Imagine how many kids would be better with Mr. Payne as their home room teacher.
The way they all roll their eyes when Mr. Payne starts telling another ‘Nam story, only to have them all jump when he slams the book shut. 😂
Mr Paine sold them out.
I like how this movie has all the perspectives of each group of kids in high school.
damn right :) superb movie.
Very true
I agree with you
It's a fucking masterpiece.
i never realized that! i thought it was a movie about high school
It can never be remade, classic
i'm actually surprised Hollywood HASN'T tried to remake it, seeing as they're trying to re-make or reboot everything else since they cant come up with anything original anymore.
Of course not it's a classic movie from the 90s you can't replace it only way to replace it is watch it over and over again
Darla w/ that widows peak hairline is so hot.
No kidding. Please hollywood, never try to touch this with your modern stupidity
because it'd be rainbow flags and crying... sounds like a crappy movie
Benny’s C-10 is still one of the baddest trucks I’ve ever laid eyes on.

Was he black? Because if he was it will be so cool
Did he sell his students out?
Parker Posey’s voice could open a garage door in this movie. She NAILED this role, we all knew her in high school.
3:55 Gotta love this part!! And the song “Jim Dandy to the Rescue”!!!
Jb by ryder, in Indiana atleast that song was hijacked for jd byryder i cant even remember if it was car insurance or rental lol
Black Oak Arkansas
Forget the song how about that sadistic smile that the guy in the middle is making.
Literally the best movie ever
It's the American Graffiti of the 90's - and it's fuckin fantastic.
As someone who was in this graduating class in a town a few hours away, its downright spooky how accurate this movie is.
Love that Vietnam vet teacher
My favorite scene in the whole movie. So funny & true.
@@leanajo754he sold them out.

It's sooooo good.
I live across the street from the “high school”, which is really a middle school, and it still looks almost identical today.

Same here I'd watch this or it be on TV every May around graduation and school out. Those were the days man. Lot of good memories.
So you weren’t born in the 70s yet you think this is the best depiction of it. Something you never experienced? Something you don’t know shot about?
If you believe that we are all one being living subjectively through different lives and that time doesn't matter, it's easy to imagine that you DID live through these times.

We are so weak now. America is doomed.
Not in small town America. My school and surrounding high schools still haze and initiate freshmen.
It's a rite of passage .
The Shotgun Wielding Parent didn’t approve.
@@reginalatson79 Because O’Bannion got greedy. He crossed a line by trying to haze the freshman on their parent’s property. It was disrespectful.
This scene is so relatable on so many levels. Those we're the days. 😏🤣
