the groove tube - full intro

[FORRESTJASPER]

I don't know how but my older brother managed to get us (my other brother, 13, & myself, 9) into this movie, summer of '74.There was nothing else like it in the entire world of entertainment. It made quite a statement & was quite ahead of it's time, to say the least.I remember laughing so hard I nearly vomited.When something is so new, SO cutting edge, it always remains a brilliant piece in your mind,heart & soul.The Groove Tube is that piece, in mine. Thanks for uploading this wonderful opening

My mother had to tell the ticket person that it was okay for my friend and I to buy tickets, then she left us to see it. I was probably 11.  WIld stuff.

Ok move on up song is officially stuck in my head oh I swear that poor guys face lol lol

[Blondieamadeus69]

This is without a doubt one of the funniest underrated movies ever

[Boobdepot1977]

The policeman looked somewhat understanding

[voluntaryistguy]

This was the very first movie I ever went to see -- at a drive-in in 1973 (sorry that rhymed, didn't mean it to). Absolutely hilarious! Don't make 'em like this anymore....

Another comment: Did the actor and actress from the VW become famous? The guy looks like Daniel Stern, and the girl looks like Ali McGraw (of "Love Story") fame. And I love Mayfield's tune!

[dosecjm]

@mudhens4ever he looks like a young Alan Zweibel of the early SNL days.

@mudhens4ever

The hitchhiker is legendary singer/songwriter/actor/graphi­cs artist and activist Buzzy Linhart, famous for classic songs like "Friends", "Talk About a Morning", "The Love's Still Growing" and many more. To my knowledge the free-spirited young woman's career pretty much went nowhere after this short but memorable role.

[mudhens4ever]

When I saw this film back then in the theaters, I thought it was the coolest thing and that, therefore, I was the coolest thing. I tried to get friends to go but no one would. In the 80's, I rented it and invited it and they resoundingly gave it thumbs down. But I loved it! Was something wrong with me?

[martinjsxx]

I saw this movie as a kid, and this intro is still probably the most memorable one I've ever seen in a movie.

[dosecjm]

The Great Curtis Mayfield!  F - YEAH!!

[Skulldini]

One of those ape creatures is female. You can see that she has tits at 2:16.

[Skulldini]

I remember when I first happened to catch this movie ( on late night cable television ). I actually thought it was 2001; A Space Odyssey at first,.. then that television set appeared ( at 2:46 ) and I was like " Huh ?!! " . Didn't realize until then that it was a spoof. Really well done movie !

[ctdsnark]

@Skulldini The exact same thing happened to me;I was finishing high school when I first saw this{on cable}---not yet realizing I was watching a parody,I thought,"Gee,those ape suits are terrible---you'd think Kubrick would've demanded a little more from his makeup artists!"

[Skulldini]

@ctdsnark Those apes are pretty ugly and scarry looking I think, .. particularly their faces. Though the suits look pretty tacky in close-up shots. Good location there. Wonder where they went and filmed ( maybe the Arizona or Nevada desert, .. or posibly even Death Valley ) ?

[SebastianEngland]

the morality police haven't had this taken down yet? they're slipping!

[unclesporkums]

Great! I love that woman's .. Ahem.. Free spiritedness!

[ThePrc1333]

Best movie, I saw it in the theater when it first came out....

[rlippiett]

Through my rose-tinted goggles trhe woman was blonde. Still an absolute classic - i think it's why I started hitchhiking in the early 1990s. Never happened tho ;-)

[jwmellott]

The instrumental opening-- was that added by the movie musicians or was it by Curtis. I've never heard it attached to the album version of Move On Up. It fits perfectly.

[Zainniaz]
