The Van (1977)

[WatchVenusSpa]

NEED to download this!!!

[mansonrkmc]

The best scene was when he ask the chick in the hotdog stand window if she wanted to share a joint in the back of the van. Post that scene.

[MoltenMozzarella]

nowadays it would say Straight Arrow Plumbing

[sund7cuU]

I had the Hot Wheels Straight Arrow van as a kid, but had no idea it came from a movie until I saw this on Netflix 30 years later. If I knew about the naked lady curtains back then I probably would've taken the toy apart trying to get a look.

[Quixotepr]

Its funny to remember that in those times, 1977, an 8 track was the newest technology.

[NerdForMIT]

I must admit that is one awesome dodge van. I could tell it was a dodge just from looking at the design of the door. But anyways I really like the older dodge vans, I have a newer one (95) and they don't make much to customize it you have to make everything yourself. Sucks but it's worth it, some collect bel airs, others vans lol

[SunsetSideVet]

Just Saw this on Netflix damn reminded me of How California used to be

[CEOkiller]

It's a whorehouse on wheels!

[wakeem93]

[oatmealclampickle]

Holy fuck a drink rack and a CB radio! I'm so inspired that I'm going to climb into the next van someone offers me a ride in, then let them do whatever they want! I hope they have mag wheels!

[ethen24]

Pimp My Ride....1970's style! lol

[vulture3112]

8 Track!!!!

[cjvirnig]

I bought this movie from the bargain rack at Best Buy for $5. The best money I've ever spent. Classic line from this movie: "There ain't a girl around who doesn't love the sound of a zipper coming down."

[blackmailit]

[AidanTA]

[invasive]

[MadScout]

You youngsters don't know nothing!

[chompychomps]

Ah, The Van, more mediocre custom vans and Sammy Johns music than you could shake a dick at. ( black or white).

[FrancosTheMan]

'70s vans have got to make a comeback.

[HAROFREEK]

[TebooTedMarshall]

Thats funny when the guy opens the fridge, he has to do a double take because he didnt remember what it was.

Im so happy I own a 77 Tradesman :O)

[Warren1814]

I've heard that this was retitled as 'Chevy Van' at one point, after the themesong but, yeah, its a Dodge. Crazy!

[doug7827]

[FT29V6]

[TebooTedMarshall]

[meesalikeu]

"mag wheels. 4" & nice tuneage. lol!

'the van' used to play endlessly at drive-in movies. usually it was paired up with 'van nuys blvd.' look for that one too. both had long driving around scenes and some sex scenes. heh.

[savirjack]

westcoast customs gots nothing on this van..lol

[FatherJudgement]

I remember this movie I went to the drive in and saw it with my sisters.

[CycolacFan]

Wow four mag wheels...

and did he say a pop up toaster?

[Dragoe4]

Remember when I was 10 years old and saw the trailer. Funny because the lead actor is from the Brady Bunch episode when Marcia gets her nose craked with the football.

PS use to have magazines of pimped out vans.Very cool back than.

[pageisarockgod]

we have a 77 dodge van but its a p.o.s it hasent been registered since 1992 we might customize it my dad wants to bring back the van craze I would rather stick with our muscle cars

[redneck64tl]

wtf is this like a 70s version of pimp my ride? lol

[freespeachrulez]

Yeah just like it!!

[bws1971]

I've always thought the Dodge vans were the best looking of that era -- something about the stance and the oval-ish shape of the front fascia.

[MrTEaL12]

were could i get the soundtrack

[dynrich65]

LOL The verry first , Pimp my ride episode !

[sideshowcarny]

Would you like to share a joint in the back of my van?

[thyubernoob]

A 8-track....cool man! lol

[andy1200]

dam thats 1970" baller shit right thurrrr lol

[darkstar6909]

God I remember this classic

I'm baked now and it was just like old times only I wasnt as big of a geek, and I had a Chevy

[hypermite01]

What a total idiot, he traded in his 65 Dart GT convertible for that ???? I loved the fact that the bad guy "Dougan" is wearing a Direct Connection" shirt while driving his chevy van !!

[evans128]

not a good trade,but vans are cool ish.

[radio70s]

luv the sound of that van's horn..it goes tat-ta, tat-ta, tat tarat taraaah.......

[radio70s]

who sang that "i became a man..."?

[sideshowcarny]

Sammy Johns sang all of the songs from "The Van". I own the soundtrack. :)

[meesalikeu]

yeah, but do you have it on 8 track?

[sgtegart]

And this was cutting edge!!

[KHearse87]

Wow, this made my day. Easily the funniest example of late '70s cinema I've ever seen. I had to laugh at "8 track!" and the speedy animation when he pulls out of the garage.

[reichmarshall]

Wow, a drink holder!

[TebooTedMarshall]

I remember watching this as a kid, Now I got me 72' b-100 shorty that is sweet as hell.

[Alchemy510]

is this like pimp my ride?

[02ramfan]

Dats gangsta "lmao".

[kjb86]

gotta have an 8 track no car is complete without one

[camaromullet]

Thats a hell of a nice van. I seen this movie back in the mid or late 1980's on the usa channel. I would like to have one of those vans now. I just never see any 70's era custom vans on the streets nowdays. I guess there all gone. Too bad, it would have been fun to have owned a van like that back in the 70's.

[schmegman]

Brings back memories. "The Van" was the first "R" rated movie I ever saw. It was awesome back then, especially that hot blonde the kid was lusting after.

[radio70s]

sally johnson...

[888yu2]

really??? or who actually sang that song>??? im been lookin for it like crazy!! grrrr...

[ChevyV8Maniac]

This is a nice Van !

[noah1970]

"Far Out Man"! hehe I had that matchbox car replica of the straight arrow when I was a kid! I still might have it too!

[MrCheezeWhizz]

that's the balls

[skipplet]

What is that song at the end of the clip?

[bigmike616]

this is like 70's pimp my ride

[CyDaSnake]

Yea but without ridiculous features like built in laptops or heated\cooled cup holders.

[Hellthrasher]

IS this a movie!!!?? That van is insane on the inside!

 Love those oldschool vintage vans. Fuk this new era of minivan shits!

[MadScout]

Amen, dude. Bring back the van waterbed, and ger the hotties!!! Far fucking out, man!!!

[rhoejaqueswift]

That was one sweet ass Tradesman.
