Good movies,,, well there are a few.......

Kurt Russell’s version of “Make My Day”…

Not all bad…

Yep. And even that final bit of the movie, the "Vendetta Ride", actually happened. I think the only major plot point of that movie which was totally made up was the final gun fight between Doc and Ringo. More of their creative license was in the area of time compression, just to make the story fit into a 90 minute movie.

My guess is It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World had more stars in it than any movie in history.

When I first saw that movie I thought it was the funniest movie ever!!!

My favorite stand up comedian was Don Rickles, we saw him in Tahoe in the seventies my sides hurt from laughing so hard!!!!

My favorite Kurt Russell action movie is Soldier. Haven't seen it in years. Might have to hunt it down again.

A Man Called Otto, a (2022 comedy/drama), is on FXM today.
It starts out rather slow but overall, I think it is a pretty good movie.

When I was a young Piston Head I used to really enjoy car chase movies.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
Vanishing Point
and a number of others.
A sort of more current (even though it's mid 70s) It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World is The Gumball Rally.
Never cared for the Cannonball movies. Not funny, verging on stupid. What really flushed them for me was Burt's buddy Dom Deluise.

First among the others would be…?
…Bullitt! ok, that’s my choice (even though that Charger he was chasing lost like 11 hubcaps during the ride…)

“World’s Fastest Indian” is a great movie with very broad appeal based on Burt Munro’s life. A riding buddy had the opportunity to actually visit that Indian during a group motorcycle tour in New Zealand…

Bullitt is my favorite also. It was all filmed at real speed. I was disappointed to learn the engine sounds were dubbed in.

Yes the hubcap count is off a little. There is a scene we Steve McQueen misses a corner and smokes the tires backing up and going forward. He wasn’t suppose to do that but they left it in. There is a green VW that gets passed more then once. The route they take wouldn’t be real world, in other words the sequence jumps around on somewhat random streets. The wanted to use the Golden Gate Bridge but the city nixed that idea.
