  • thanks for posting this song..Barry is a fave of mine..and this song is one of his songs that i love..brings me back to Highschool days..lol!..just like THX1205 ...

  • Kojak, bang-bang

  • This clip and the song make me a little sad. At the time the movie was popular, I was employed in a position that required me to travel quite a lot. I was forced to see so many movies without my wife and children. Nothing is worse than seeing a choice movie--such as Foul Play--then returning to an empty hotel room. Calling home just made my loneliness worse. Those days are over, and my wife and I can enjoy or time together now, along with children,grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

  • Great, great film.

  • Beautifule movie and song!! That brings back some memories!! Goldie Hawn was so cute! How tempting it is to drive by the sea.

  • dont know this film but love the song from my fave man Barry Manilow

  • It looks like this clip was filmed at Oregon's highway, maybe Portland .... Does anybody here has a clue ?

  • I loved this movie. I laughed till I cried when she beat the crap out of the dwarf. I don't know why I thought it was funny. But this is one of my all time fav Barry songs, made all the more beautiful with the pacific coastline. I enjoyed it. tx

  • I totally love this movie."Beware of the dwarf"' " I know,the albino is working for the dwarf"' "I killed him with a needle.Narcotics?No.Knitting" LOL.Love those lines

  • @henaheypeter i so agree i was like 8 or 9 when i first saw this and i still love it. it never gets old. :) <3

  • I was 11 years old when I first saw this movie in a theater that I walked to by myself. When the albino's face popped out in the library I almost crapped my pants. It was after 11pm when the movie let out and I was so scared walking home over 2 miles. This movie always brings back memories, strange ones though...

  • My Mom had this movie in a box when I was kid in the mid 80's. I so happy I got to see this exact part of the movie again. Thank You.

  • This is one of my favorite movies. Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase had such chemistry together. And I LOVE this Barry Manilow song.

  • WHO THE FUCK ARE THE 4, HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS KILLER CLASSIC SONG.

  • Thanx for uploading it, i`m 28, i used to watch this movie on tv when i was a kid.

  • Great song and enjoyable comedy.

  • I first saw this movie when i was 17 and on a plane to San Francisco. Memories...i still love the movie!!

    

  • Is that a Ford Pinto that appears at the end in the breakdown lane?

  • @mnankin yes, a ford pinto driven by Barry.

  • 4 people are absolute idiots.

  • I love the song, and I love the movie, Where is Chevy Chase after this movie?

  • Vi esse filme. Estava eu com meu grande amor.. Adriana. Saudades...

  • I Love the song it Was on Family guy

  • Just finished watching it on TV (the dvd is back home, sad, I know) (also, my roommate was very confused and looking at me strange when she came back from class). And I couldn't get this song out of my head, so glad I found it! Thanks for posting <3

  • cute car

  • 最高のコメディ。この主題歌、エンディングでも感動的に盛り上げ­ます。名曲です。

    永遠に心に残る作品です。ありがとう。

  • Tjejen som visste för mycket. Thats the title of this wonderful movie in Swedish.

    It made me visit San Francisco and now I have visit San Francisco 6 times and hope coming back again.

    Thankyou Hawn and Manilow.

  • As a youngster and in love with "Foul Play," I set out to buy the LP. On it was "Foul Play Disco." It wasn't in the movie but it was on the LP. Can someone please upload it so we can all dance to this wonderful movie.

  • That brings a lot of memory.

  • es lo máximo esta película,este video, esta canción........yo creo qye todos estamos listos...... pero a veces no tenemos el valor........

  • Love this song!!! Barry Manilow is the ultimate performer, wish he were doing his greatest hits tour again. Would so be there. Also, great movie. Got this last year for Christmas and made my kids watch it, they really liked it:)

  • great song. great movie. nothing to complain.

  • This is Conzelman Rd (at least it's supposed to be). From Sausalito take Bunker road through the tunnel under the mountain over to the Pacific side, and then drive south. It ends at the north end of the Golden Gate bridge, and takes probably about 15 minutes. I do this drive regularly, and it's exactly what it looks like. It's a very pretty and relaxing way to get from Sausalito to San Francisco.

  • @Vladigraph I have been wondering where it was. Thanks for providing the info.

  • this is a beautiful song .I like so much Barry Manillow its the best.

  • Barry Manilow Cameo at the end!

  • Great Song! Great Times! Great Movie!

  • This movie is timeless This movie made me visit San Francisco, well now I have visit San Francisco 6 times and hope comming back again.

  • At first she's driving in Tiburon, in Marin County, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco-- right near where I live. Then, the coast drive is between Stinson Beach and Muir Beach, also in Marin County -- the two locations aren't really that close to each other, but areboth in the same county.

  • NOSTALGIA RULES!!! ESPECIALLY when it has to do with the 60s through to the early 80s!!!!!

  • fabulous beginning ~

    Barry Manilow's song last forever !!

    香港叫傻妹闖七關

  • Have you got the ending of the movie? I love the way "Ready..." bursts right after the action ends and Barry sings.

  • A fun movie, which showed that Chevy Chase could act a little ...

    Barry's melody is beautiful, set to the picturesque California coast ... good stuff !

  • When I saw this movie for the first time, I was GLUED!

    Barry Manilow - GOD, my mum played his music

    A LOT when I was growing up in the 70's.

    This particular song has got to be my all time

    favourite one from him. LOVE THE MELODY!

    TAKES ME RIGHT BACK TO THAT TIME!!

  • someday i'll drive this...

  • Una de las mejores comedias policiacas de todos los tiempos

  • Very beautiful song. Fantastic scenery. One of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen! Didn't anyone ever teach Goldie not to pick up strangers??

  • Great movie! I used to check out the VHS tape from my local public library...lol

  • I saw this movie as a kid and loved it... was always creeped out by the albino. D=

    I always called the movie "scarface" though cause of the informant with the messed up face?

    Honestly though, I saw the movie like 20 years later and understood the plot? and I was rooting for the bad guys XD

  • From the 1978 movie Foul Play....I love this song........."ready to take a chance again...."

  • Nice , good movie.Like this song much. is it one of the best songs and movies from US ever.

    This movie made visit the fantastic city of San Francisco, well now I have visit San Francisco 6 times and hope I can visit again.

    Thankyou so much: Manilow,Hawn and Chase

  • For the only women I love in this world Marie XXX! From D.

  • Is that the PCH? I am sure it is. I am moving my parents into my home. My my mom has a ton of Manilow Vinyl. Grew up listening to them. It's all good. They are young (71 and 70). Just fixing their house up for them. They will be back there in 6 months. My mom was humming this song today.....

  • @kastaway2 yes, pch just south of S.F. CA

  • This is such a fun movie.

  • <3 it. i wanted to see the part with scotty in it :/

  • This movie was clumsy...kind of like the theme of the song

  • I was 17 and I always want to go to California-maybe finally I can drive there...listening Barry Manilow...

  • man goldie hawn is like fine wine! she gets better looking with age! she is so hot

  • Love watching the credits and the spectacular views along Hwy1. This movie holds up well after so many years. Dudley Moore, Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase---they are all great in this movie. Thanks for putting this on youtube.

  • Great Movie ! This scene was shot early in the am (sunrise) and obviously the road was closed off , its a breathtaking drive (California Hwy 1 ) but very dangerous ,as you can see from the aerial shots just how close to the outside edge the VW is traveling  ( stuntman was driving-exterior shots) .

    A bit of trivia - Gloria's part was originally written for Farrah Fawcett (RIP) but she went on to something else , Goldie was superb -both her and Chevy ,and the

    always wonderful Dudley (RIP)

  • Que rolota

  • I saw this movie as a kid and have loved it ever since. Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn have great chemistry and Goldie is hilarious. It's the perfect mix of suspense, mystery, action, and comedy. Love it!

  • Love this movie ! The character Goldie Hawn plays is the story of my life,lol.

  • I remember seeing this movie for the first time after my family got HBO back in the early 80's. It was so funny that I couldn't stop laughing and I enjoyed is so much I watched every time it was on. I love this movie it is one of my all time favorites.

  • I have seen this movie in the carlton cinema on o'connel street, dublin, when i was thirteen, with six of my friends, still love it to this day..............

  • I wish someone would post the closing credits to the movie "Foul Play" as the extended instrumental version of this song is great.

  • i was a twenty girl when isaw this movie,

    i loved it, and the music is great,mainly it"s performed by MY FAVORITE SINGER - BARRY MANILOW.

  • @eliana339 Yep, RIGHT ON!!

  • @eliana339 WOW ! I was 19 years when I saw this movie for the first time (1978).

    This autumn I turn 52!! What happened with the years in-between (33 years !!)? Well, I got a wonderful wife and a wonderful daughter. When I found this clip I almost started to cry! My wife came into the room and asked if I had been drinking to much wine! No, I said but watch video-clip. And then she almost started to cry !! Well eliana339 l would like to thank You so much for posting this video-clip!! Beatiful !!

  • @ESSAL012 I was 23 years when I saw this movie in 1978 and loved it and the music. I fell in love with Gerta Caswell aka Delia Darrow LOL !!! What ever happened to my beloved Delia Darrow??? LOL!!!

  • "Amore victum" Je suis dans .....

  • oh... magnificant song and wonderful movie. I was ten in '78 when I saw this movie and used to play the record over and over again... watery eyes...

  • Where does the time go? it seems just like I went to the theater to see it. That was almost 32 years ago. I love Goldie and Chevy, they were great in this move. I miss the 70s....

  • Me gusta mucho esta pelicula y la cancion es genial

  • is she trying to call him gay or something w/ the "so why don't you try it?"

  • nope, she's rather trying to make fun of his argument...

  • No. That's her way of telling him to buzz off.

  • Great movie!!..Chase at his best,love him!

  • I remember feeling so bad for the bible salesman when i first saw this long ago.

  • not many people know about this movie, one of the best ever........have to agree that it is the the best movie beginning ever.....nothing else comes to mind

  • best movie beginning EVER!

  • Comment removed

  • please tell me the title of the movie... thanks! indeed, barry manilow is one of the best...

  • The movie is called Foul Play.

  • @laughingparadox  thanks! i will watch it.

  • Cute movie. You remind me...I live in a shell..

  • Anyone notice the guy stranded on the roadside is Barry Manilow? Anyway Goldie, Chevy in a good little movie with a great song!

  • @doctorhackensteinmd No it isn't.

  • mensen kunnen dromen om waar nooit kunnen kregen down je bent te laag en je ward nog geen een centje

  • This is def my fav movie, love Goldie Hawn in this movie, and what can I say about Chevy Chase?? Hes so hot!!!!

  • Great song! Barry Manilow is one of the most briliant singer and composer of the love' song.

  • "ladadeeda when you go for it..." lol

    So this was a Miller/Milkis production. Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox were also the song writers for Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley.

  • Goldie Hawn was so gorgeous in her day (I bet she looks a lot older now).

    This is a classic beginning to a film.

    Where is this road? It's amazing.

  • Highway 1, Big Sur, coastline in California.

  • @jsbach15 Big sur is forested and most of hwy 1 is inland near big sur. this scene is the remote area between Half Moon Bay and S.F.

  • @gant555 Naw, I lived by Half Moon Bay. I think it's in the Big Sur "region" south of Monterey by Esalen Springs.

  • The guy at the end is Barry Manilow, right?

  • sure!

  • Yeah!

  • @somahi77 No, it isn't!

    That's Bruce Solomon as Bob Scott, a character in the movie (Foul Play) whose actions bring Goldie Hawn's character (Gloria Mundy) into an assassination plot.

  • this is the soundtrack of my life currently.

  • love the movie love goldie chevy chase all the actors

  • Love the Drive!Scenery!Music!A+++

  • Bellisima cancion solo Barry Manilow podria hacer una cancion asi, fue otra epoca : la pelicula que es una comedia comiensa con una cancion triste, bella, excelente

  • espectacular musica, cancion y pelicula, del uno al diez veinte puntos

  • One thing I always loved about California, the drives along the coast...smiles

  • I always remember watching this as a kid and yelling at the tv for Gloria not to stop to keep going and not pick up Scotty! lol oh what memories. lol

  • This opening sequence with car is very similar to later 'The Shining' by Stanley Kubrick.

  • Goldie Hawn is so adorable i this movie.

    I keep hoping for a remake with Anna Faris in her role.

    QUESTION FOR YOU TUBERS...

    Who Should play the Chevy Chase role????

  • Tom Hanks

  • In my opinion Tom Hanks is too old for this role. Take a look for Chavy Chase, he was so young and beautiful in this movie. Hawn and Chase created fantastic duo in 'Foul Play'.

  • there's no way Hanks was too old for this role.

  • Jason Lee ... but they should never remake this or any other movie. Foul Play is perfect just the way it is.

  • Nice choice!

    I hadn't thought of Jason Lee.

    I was ready to cast Paul Rudd or Jason Segel in that role.

    Incidentally, though I respect your opinion, I think sometimes remakes can be just as good if not better than the originals.

    Any thoughts?

  • Comment removed

  • Justin Bateman or that guy from The Hangover. It should be someone who's funny. Great question.

  • oh this brings back memories !!!

  • This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. I loved the part where she knocked the midget out of the window.

  • I watched this movie way back in the day with my sister who is alot older than me..now everytime I watch it I feel all warm and fuzzy as t makes me think of good times with her.

    Great video

  • I CRIED WHEN I LISTEND THIS

  • I watched this movie first time when I was like 5 or something, it was really scary backthen, nowadays I don't think it is that scary, but I still love it and it is one of my favorite movies...

  • This has to be one of the most odd beginnings to a movie ever, but I freakin love it!!

  • It's not the very beginning of the movie.

    There's at least 5 minutes of movie before this sequence with the credits. Included is a touching scene when their eyes first meet.

    One of my all-time favourite movies. Romance, Comedy, Murder, Suspense, Car Chase, Opera, The Church, Albinos, Kung Fu, and more, all with a great soundtrack. CLASSIC!

  • Que saudades desse filme...assisti em sampa há muito tempo...eita época boa...

  • You poor bastard! My ex doing the same now,she just moved out 5 weeks ago. It pisses her off that I'm doing quite fine without her. I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet, like Dufresne from Shawshank. i'd rather live in a cave than deal with her tonight.

  • This is one of Chevy Chases best movies

  • i saw this movie by accident & it set me on a road of fandom with barry & goldie

  • This opening sequence will always remind me of the good things in my childhood. Hwy 1 is so beautiful!

  • Pacific coast highway 101---and yes very stunning especially in Oregon but please don't move there.

  • haha

  • Wow . I saw this movie when it came to the screen. 31 years !! Where did You go ? This was (is) one of my favorite movies. I maybe nostalic but nevertheless...

  • I did too,this is one of my favorite as well.I am so nostalic, maybe too much. I miss those times in my life. Youtube is wonderful. Thanks for posting this!!!!!!!

  • it seems like goldie hawn keeps on getting better looking with her age

  • Do they even MAKE movie opens like this anymore?

  • I hope you keep trying. It's very possible she feels the same way. Life is simply to difficult to go through alone, even though I'm having to. (Not MY first choice, he said sardonically.)

    I wish you good fortune and hope she listens -- I hope you both do.

  • I always forget that this song comes from this movie -- it's BRILLIANT! Whenever anyone starts to rag on Mr. Manilow, I always remember this song, "Ships" and "Bandstand Boogie" as three reasons why I like his work. But it's not universal -- I'm neutral on "Copacabana" and I absolutely can't stand "Mandy". Go figure.

  • This film had intelligent humor instead of just sex jokes and ghetto humor that is most of the comedy genre these days.

    Duddley Moore in the bedroom scene with the Bee Gees playing was a riot.

  • I think this is one of my favurite movies and one of the best songs. Barry... I love your voice!!

  • The best video for this song ever, I love Goldie!!

  • beautiful scene but very dangerous road!

  • hehe.......angie ,,,,manilow is my fav....if i close the lights in my room i look like him....hehe.......

  • The film is excellent and the song is simply the best.

    Este video se lo dedico a GIZMIZER ;) the corazón

  • uncomparable

  • This is my parents song. =0)

  • i cant believe this movie is almost 31 years old, such a classic comedy with chevy chase and goldie hawn

  • I love this movie and the song is great. Goldie Hawn is so beautiful and funny in it. The script is hysterical - my fave comedy - and I love the VW Beetle. I want one!!!

  • love the line where Burgess Merideth beats up Rachel Robers and says " She was one tough old mama."

  • They were both BRILLIANT in their roles.

  • Makes me laugh and smile everytime!

  • best of love song

    t

  • So nice movie, this movie made me visit San Francisco, now I have visit San Francisco 6 times!

  • my first glimpse of USA.. fell in love with USA and said i wanna be there...God granted my wish ,,and now making plans to drive on that same scenic drive with my wife soon... God is good and this movie and song really good...seems like they don't make em like this anymore

  • Its a one good movie with lovely song, cool cast and an awesome Super Beetle!

  • love love love this movie

  • Some scripts are just perfect!

  • LOVE THIS MOVIE! ONE OF THE BEST

  • Great film! And great opening to the film!!

  • this is the kind of scene and song that ends a movie.
