Well like most aussie movies it has crap acting and dodgy dialect, but who cares, its all in good fun, its great to watch and pick the sh!t out of, and as you follow the movie that poorly made replica gets bashed into, burnt, rolled, wrecked and then rebodied, then gets hammered into a convertable. Lucky no genuine gt's were used in this film, only a few very poorly made replicas.
Strewth Jacko ya dum bugga, you wrecked the bl00dy car!!!!

I can virtually narrate this movie word for word...
The star, Terry Serio, lives in Bunbury and rides a Guzzi.

Ya forgot the "Man, that cats the least" between mostly and need in the jacko line . And the guy that is a twat, is Gerard Sont. I remember he was an afternoon kids show host in Queensland in the late 70's whan I was a kid. And here is a little known fact about this movie, In the USA , it was nkown as "Fast Lane Fever" !

![]() Yes yes, I know , I have prbly seem this movie too many times! When i was a young bloke in Melb sharing a house with 3 other rev heads there was ALWAYS some car movie playing in the VCR ! The number of people that would come around and say "Not this again" never got old to us some of the movies we used to play constantly , Running on empty Mad Max Mad Max 2 Midnight spares Hot Rod (USA Movie) The Wraith Smokey and the Bandit Smokey and the Bandit 2 Cannonball Run The Van American Graffiti The original gone in 60 seconds Stone Heart like a wheel Vanishing Point Death race 2000 The cars that ate paris and a few more , including taped episodes of the dukes of hazard and Knight rider and a few others like Havoc and racing doco's we used to have . Damn I miss those days!!!!!!! What a party house. We used to have a dirt bike track around the property and if you were quick enough and didnt stack or get held up, the short cut thru the house was always an option!

To my knowledge the Chev is still alive. The owner of Fox was originally going to buy the Chev but the owner wnated too much coin or something, then Fox came up so he bought that. The Fox car is still in really good nick and is prob worth more as a genuine 440 six pack chanllenger than a movie car i reckon. Cheers

THREADMINE ALERT!
Has anyone ever found the genuine XY GT that was used in the movie??? I know the whereabouts of the 57 Chev, the Fox, the Rammer, and the Shake Rattle & Roll, but the XY seems to be a bit of a mystery??? Given this is a FORD forum, I thought collectively we might have had the answer?? Anyone???

Many many years ago I swear I was looking at the XY used in the scene where the blokes set fire to the car and go at it with a pick axe, it was sitting in a caryard in Adelaide with a big hole in the roof. Could never confirm it at the time.
Was a genuine GT used at any point in that film? I wouldn't have thought so |

The start of the drag race between the Challenger & the Chev was filmed at Wyhalla Rd Miranda in Sydney back in 82.
We used to bolt out of school as soon as the bell went to catch the last half hour or so of filming. I was lucky enough to see the cars doing burnouts & the Chevy doing the doughnut, albiet at a safe distance dictated by the film crew. When they weren't filming we could walk right up to the cars for a looksee. Even at the tender age of 10 i could tell that the Chevy was rammed not blown & the Challenger wasnt anything too special either. Fun to watch though.

I named a band "Green Is Nice" once upon a time.
Most would've thought it was about the ganja I imagine. Its been awhile since I watched this classic, will have to pull the DVD out again "You cats hungry? Joannie will have the pan on" |
