Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who's Father took them to this Movie ?

Me and Pops went to see this, I was 10 years old. I laughed my ass off! How many others remember this movie ?

I was 17...............don't remember that movie.

I love movies, especially going to the theater to watch them. I never heard of that movie before.

As young teenagers my buddy Richard and I fancied ourselves as motocross riders. We would ride our stingrays clear across town to watch that movie. Loved it. Richard went on to race motocross at the expert level and I tagged along to many races. Fuggers are crazy fast and on the edge all the time.

Richard crashed into an oak tree during a race and died at 17.

Saw it on the tube a few years later.

Dad took us to the drive in, me & my brother had to hide in the floor at the gate. S. Baptist mom did not like that.

When we got set up & about half time there was a paper grocery bag with homemade popcorn, a cooler with ice, two 16 oz. bottles of Pepsi & 4 aluminum tumblers, for the 4 of us.

My Father never took me to a movie but my older brother and I managed to see it, hence my earlier post in the Steve McQueen thread.

Loved it, I had just started riding dirt bikes at the age of 20. A group of us saw it in Atlanta. Malcom Smith was the real deal.

I remember it vaguely.

Only movie I remember going to with my father was Thunder Road. That was quite some time ago.

Never saw the movie, looks ol-school cool.
Step-Dad Jim Crawford was a motorhead anything fast- he liked it. He had Montesa, 3 Husqvarna's 250 & 360, 650 Triumph Bonneville in the mid-60's, 55 Chevy 283, 34 plymouth coupe w/ rumble seat 327 corvette engine, ++. He built a V-8 intake manifold for the 55 chevy- 8 / 1 barrel motorcycle carbs, adjustable synchronizer system -in High School.
Anyway I got the motorhead bug from him I reckon.
My Picture; front 23' Honda Trail 125 [Hunting Bike] 135MPG average, 1980 Kaw. KDX-250, 2-cycle 756 original miles, MX street legal bike, 06 Yamaha R1 1,000cc sportbike , 01 Honda CR-500r last year they were made.

Some really cool old desert sleds in that movie.

I was too young but I seen it on TV late 70's early 80's on reruns. Seen all those moto shows with McQueen. Some on Prime.

Never heard of it. I was 11 in 71

I actually have never seen it, but my dad did take me to see Endless Summer, by the same guy - Bruce Brown. I was 7 or so.

Well dang it, I've missed to point again. Title about dad, the rest about the film. Heck yes I've seen it. Lived it. First MC, a 59 Harley, 2 stroke 165 at age 12. After that, Hondas for a long run.

I miss carbs, air cooled, kick starters, & all the simplicity & light weight they offered. I was born just a bit too late & usually broke, but still got to experience most of it.

Not born yet.

Its nice to watch young kids ride bicycles without wearing frigin helmets.

When I was a kid, if you were wearing a helmet and riding your bicycle, it meant that you were definitely a complete momma’s boy pansie. And it was perfectly acceptable to demand, and get by physical force if necessary, their school lunch money.

Yep. Saw it with my dad and brothers.

We had a bunch of Yamaha enduros.
Mini, 90, 125, 175, and 250.

My father, a career union Projectionist, died in 1970.

I was forced to watch a ton of movies from 1965-1970. Hated it, but saw all of the era blockbusters that many of you hold dear.

Sounds like my tight ass old man.
The only movies he ever took us to was the DriveIn.

I remember once he tried to do one of those tinfoil pans of jiffy pop on the engine manifold in the wintertime. Didn’t turn out to well.

First movie I vividly recall seeing at the DriveIn was in 1965 or 1966. I was either 5 or 6 and it was Don Knott’s “ The Ghost & Mr Chicken”.

I remember it because the organ playing it’s self and that creepy music gave me the first nightmares I can remember. 😳🤪😂
Good Times! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I liked the cameo appearance of Tom hanks at the 104 minute mark.
