On tonight on TCM at 9:00 PST.
I don't know if we have that channel ! I have not seen Thunder Road since last Saturday morning.
The popcorn is on, Randy!! :004:
I was watching an old Twilight Zone last night and they used the ending, crash scene from Thunder Road.
I stayed up and watched it from midnight on, and enjoyed every minute of it again !

I'll stay out of the conversation. Last time I talked about it, I got my very first smite and was banned by one of the moderators for a week, lol.

WHAT?????
Ditto "WHAT"! I have never understood the smite thing though.
The smite thing is not to be taken too seriously.............just a way of letting someone know you don't agree with them.

I saw that exact same thing as well. After Thunder Road, I watched our local news for 1/2 hour, and switched to Twilight Zone. A few minutes later, I am thinking that I just saw this same 57 Fairlane 500 crashed into a power station 30 minutes ago! Only this time, Jed Clampett used his mind control to flip the 57 back onto its wheels. Kinda like a deja vu moment to be sure. I don`t know why on Thunder Road that they felt the need to dub in what sounded like a 6 cylinder with a split exhaust note, rather than just use the V8 sound. But then I also don`t understand why the Merc at the gas station flipped on its side when the 57 parked behind it exploded, or why the 50 Ford had a 51 dash and hubcaps either!
I watched it too. Did you notice that the bad guys in the 57 chasing the 50 ford were driving a Fairlane 500, but the car that went down the embankment was a Fairlane.
I counted 5 57 Fords destroyed or damaged in the film, that couldn't have been cheap as the 57s were new at the time.
Yes I noticed that too, Lou. Also noticed one of the 57s had the turbine wheel covers, which I think are great looking covers.
Did anyone notice in the first chase scene that the '50 rolled when making his U turn, but the car came out of the turn unscathed? John
Gota love it!
The first time I saw movie it was on film in my uncles basement in New Jersey who " borrowed it " from Pathe where he worked in New York. I've watched it so many times afterwards on DVD and CD over the years the wife has threatened to buy I Chevy if I don't stop :003:
Yes it was quite impressive how he was able to roll the '50 and come out of it without even a scratch on the roof. Skills!
