They had the movie, they had the director, but they needed a star to carry the movie, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen didn't turn it down as rumours say, it conflicted their sceduals, so who do you call? in 1974...John Wayne!!! who at the time was at least 300lbs, and he said yes!. It's not a great movie, but still entertainng 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, they had to rebuild the seat so Big John could fit. Looking for trouble, good advice, never mess with John Wayne. The movie was McQ 1974, director John Sturgess (Bad Day in Black Rock, The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape)

Anyone here seen The Norliss Tapes? An early '70s horror with Angie Dickinson. Hi there Eλευθερί Thanks for the rec some of those American 70s Tv films are surprisingly very good, terrific entertainment, I have a copy found locally arriving any day … A great 70s TV film seen recently was Nightmare In Badham County (1976) the film also had a theatrical release in Europe which has some extra exploitive footage, certainly not suitable for 1970s TV... The girls Deborah Raffin and Lynne Moody road tripping crossing the country are sidelined down south in Badham County. They drive an orange/red Ford Mustang II Hatchcback

From Tarsem Singh's underrated fantasy-drama The Fall (2006). The fiendish villain Governor Odious has a 1937 Delahaye Geo Ham Roadster.

Super Fly (1972) Priest's car is a 1971 customized Cadillac Eldorado. The car belonged to K.C., an actual hustler and pimp from Harlem who plays a pimp in the film. The car has modified headlight covers, goddess hood ornament (Rolls Royce/Bentley style), lake pipes and circular porthole windows. Apparently the film started an infamous fashion trend for car customization in the United States known as the Pimpmobile. Many aspiring drug dealers, gangsters, and pimps modified their cars during the 1970s as a result of watching the film Willie Dynamite (1974) And here's the pimpmobile in Magnum Force. Looks like the exact same model.

Those '71 to '78 or so Eldorados were seemingly all used as pimp mobiles at one time or another. There are very few good ones left except for the '76 Eldorado convertibles as they were touted as the "last American convertibles" to be built due to more stringent roll over laws for cars as well as lack of demand. A few years later Chrysler (I think?) brought back the "American convertible" so that didn't last long. People bought them as collector items and stored them away so now they aren't worth all that much since there are quite a few low mileage examples around even today. Funny enough, the mechanically (and mostly cosmetically) similar Oldsmobile Toronado from those years were rarely (maybe never) customized into pimp mobiles.
I think that might be the same car though (the one in Magnum Force and Willie Dynamite). It wouldn't surprise me!

Anyone here seen The Norliss Tapes? An early '70s horror with Angie Dickinson. Hi there Eλευθερί we watched The Norliss Tapes (1973) last night, Here is another angle of that very stylish Corvette Stinggray ... Probably the the most exciting thing about the film although bare chested Roy Thinnes and Angie Dickinson in her 70s slacks may excite some also. I must be getting on, the biggest thrill of all involved the scene pictured below... as David races to get to the estate the stingray purrs out its beautiful engine note. The film on the whole I thought was pretty poor, did have some spectacular scenic settings and finished off somewhat up in the air ? I since have read that the TV film was a pilot with the hope of running a series which did not eventuate...
