Silver Streak part 01

[CULVER729]

THAT AINT TO ,I KNOW FAF..

[kevinsharpe97]

Good times huh, when going cross country by train was the thing to do and it actually meant something to people

[SharonTateFan4ever]

Are you hot?

[bvrcrap56]

i watch the train leaving toronto and the next scene is the train passing cactus in the desert... imagination don't fail me now!

[MrCraigblaze]

@siemenstraffic it does look like him dosen't it.

[dwkcamman611]

LOVE IT!!!

[siemenstraffic]

At 3:56 is that Peter Graves standing in the background?

[youtub3k]

They've been airing this film on Tv lately. On the THIS Tv channel. And they bleeped out every possible offensive word. Especially when Richard Prior comes along. Some of the deletions are pretty silly. Violence is ok. Just don't utter a colorful word on Tv.

[johnomcdonnell]

Gene is a genius.

[johnomcdonnell]

Gene is a genius.

[cj382]

[2314575]

One of my favourites,2314575

[rammar09]

[andrewsmit100]

[siemenstraffic]

At 0:55 JAZZ voice from Transformers: Generation 1

[darthfurious80]

great music theme..it certainly does seem to match the train's pacing and motions.

[gregsmusic1]

another good movie i wish they would upload is greased lightening,richard pryor

and stir crazy gene wilder,richard pryor

[btomimatsucunard]

Where did they film the scenes with the train?

[NordikFilm]

@btomimatsucunard Interiors were shot in a studio, with the sets mounted on rubber tires so they could be rocked.

[bouffslave]

this reminds me of the time i went traveling the states in 2006 - i took the california zephyr which runs from Chicago to SanFran. It took two and a half days and we passed through something like 50+ stations. I met a number of different people (no horny chicks though) and was dumb enough not to take any food onboard so ended up living on $2 snickers. I would love to do it again someday. I miss the Amtrak and America.

[Alwaystuned]

can't find this on DVD. Thanks for the post.

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

@Alwaystuned You can get it on Amazon.It's expensive,because it's very hard to find in any video stores these days.

[washcloud]

@mustangsdiehard1fan

...It will only cost him about a quarter, if he gets a plain recordable DVD disc and gets burned the movie which he can find even in DVD quality all over the Web's torrent trackers

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

@washcloud It's not a good idea to get recordable DVD because it won't have special features,bloopers,commentary and the making of the film.They're very interesting to look at.

[skudaarkaat1]

EXCELLENT FILM/ Great plot and first class acting!!

[steptocarpus]

I wonder if Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were friends off screen? And if Gene Wilder attended Richard Pryor's wake?

[SwedishDoorHandle]

@74Gikkio All I know is that it's a F7 cab but I don't know much else...

[PICLex]

Lol 0:50 what is that extra doin???

[snipermojo]

Excellent film , Many thanks for posting .

[SwedishDoorHandle]

What the hell is wrong with the one dude voting down for this video?!

[DartsRme312]

waiter played the judge in a few good men!

[davehutchinson67]

@DartsRme312 Indeed...I have been watching this movie since it came out..and never realized that before..J. A. Preston? something like that....isn't it?

[SwedishDoorHandle]

Haha, remember watching this movie when I was about five to six years old without understanding what the hell I was watching xd

[dkslfjgh]

Johnson on left @ 3:53

[TheThroney]

its hallorann!

[4449ironhorse]

sorry my mistacke

[Charliecomet82]

A classic streamliner and Jill Clayburgh in undies--is this a great movie or what?

[RetroBoyWontDie]

@Charliecomet82 then you should look at An Unmarried Woman (the movie, not a real one. unless you want to). It'll blow your mind.

[Charliecomet82]

@RetroBoyWontDie Just saw on cable a few days ago--Thanks!

[4449ironhorse]

i love the nathan air horns

[4449ironhorse]

i love this movie i like the e8 it look like the begining of amtrak i love the horn

[gurlsingerfan]

One of the great "road trip" movies of all time...Mancini's music, great trains, cars, planes, Jill Clayburgh stunning...Pryor was funnier in this movie than anything else he ever did...a classic action comedy, Hitchcock would have been proud to have been called the inspiration for "Silver Streak".

[b4ifly2paradise]

RIP Jill Clayburgh, wow was she hot in this flick.

Plus this was 1976, the year I was born.

[mpbliesener]

Jill, I fell in love with you the first time I saw this movie in the theatre, 1976! So hard to believe that you and many of the other greats seen here are gone now! :(

[moneybelt22]

@mpbliesener  HEY IM IN CT 1 HOUR FROM LAKEVILLE,CT RIP BABY

TOO MUCH

[drumtum]

R.I.P Jill!

[RATkins741]

This movie owes so much to Hitchcocks North by Northwest. But that is

a good thing. Jill is so Charming and Sexy in this and reminds me so much

of Eva Marie Saint in N by NW. I bet she was a sweet lady.

[drumtum]

@RATkins741 Two fantastic movies.

[bls2134]

Jill Clayburgh dies at 66

[goffo188]

nah aint him

[goffo188]

nah aint him

[jaminvaughn]

Beatty said that he was drinking an old fashioned but Im trying to figure out exactly what kind of old fashioned he is drinking. It just looks very clear to me for it to be a true old fashioned

[stickdog100]

It looks like the railroad equipment was borrowed from Canadian Pacific and touched up with a little paint.

[Cardiff67235]

Top movie & great characters.....Thanks

[narutofightindreamer]

I love the old F7's, they're beautiful works of art. Always funny how Vancouver doubles as L.A.

[4449ironhorse]

@narutofightindreamer there not f7 there e 8sa e 8 is longer than a f7

[runawayfreak]

@4449ironhorse They are F7 units, E8 has three wheels on their axle, this engine two. + E8 engines have a middle door, F7 don't.

And if you check online you will see that the engine used for this film is CP F7 4070 (And 4061 as 2nd engine)

[narutofightindreamer]

Instead of having a remake. Make a new "Passenger Train Movie". Where the Hero riding Amtrak somehow manages to save the day. And if he or she'd flown the bad guy's would've prevailed

[geldedus]

is the guy passing o the right on the screen at 04:53 Tom Cruise?

[SeaboardCoastLineRR]

@geldedus Yes, that is a very young Tom Cruise.

[IshadaKatzteilov]

@SeaboardCoastLineRR No it isn't.

[culululu7]

@SeaboardCoastLineRR if you pause it he looks more like a 35 yr old Frank Zappa.

[SeaboardCoastLineRR]

@culululu7 Hi. I know who Frank Zappa was and this person does not look like him. Regards.

[tasdau]

@geldedus Cruise would have been 14 at the time.

[romanticwarrior79]

@tasdau he is cruise's big step brother from rain man. 

[JBmiddleOFnoWHERE]

@geldedus I know it can't be him, but it sure does look like him!

[SirCrooner]

@geldedus See? I said it again and again, but no one listened. Tom Cruise is a time traveler!

[Carlos7Matute]

the double suite looked like a better idea :D

[WastedPo]

This movie has such beautiful cinematography.

[clarko95]

Ya gotta love how they try to pass Toronto's 1970s skyline(3:25) as Los Angeles's.

Fantastic movie! Love Gene Wilder!

[Artfryne]

nice post. RIP Patrick Mcgoohan and Scatman Crothers

[jmg3116]

I never noticed that the villain in this movie was Longshanks from Braveheart lol

[RipARipeBanana]

The black baggage man who greets Gene Wilder is Morgan Freeman.

[afroman255]

@RipARipeBanana no that's that guy from the shining

[RipARipeBanana]

@afroman255 No, Scatman Crothers comes in later...the baggage man is Morgan Freeman. If you listen closely, you can distinguish the voice.

[ask3491]

I'm gonna be taking a train to Chicago real soon, although I hope I don't get thrown off a few times like Gene Wilder did

[matthew4892]

im looking for a movie similiar to clue or death by murder but alot more serious, its black n white and it about a murder that take place in a mansion and all the guest must stay in order to find the true murderer, i know for a fact it is not ten lil indians and (and they their were none) etc, its been driving mad. plz help!!!

[clarko95]

@matthew4892 Clue: The Movie?

=D

[matthew4892]

@clarko95 if you didn't notice i already mentioned clue, but good effort any how, it been driving me bonkers for weeks.

[BurlingtonNorthernRy]

1:00 Don't get this kind of service anymore...

(ON TIME? My god it's an alternate reality.)

[weightSndrumS]

ned looks like a chunky gw

[mehmetinho9]

JOBBIES

[DanBell47]

Jill Clayberg was hot in '76.

[PurushaDesa]

Does anyone know what that font the credits is called? It turns up everywhere and I'd love to use it in Office somehow.

[BASEBALLFREAK1210]

towards the end of the film:

wilderl: "I can't pass for black"

pryer: "i didn't say i was going make you black, i said i was going to get you on train, but we got to make them cops think ya black"

so funny lmao

[BASEBALLFREAK1210]

notice i can't spell either actors name lol

[frankmilitary]

One of those drunk conventioneers is Morty from Meatballs.

[lawrence142002]

I Love this movie!!!!

[beautalitious90]

Thanks for uploading!!!!!!

[olafreinhardweyer]

What a nice, slow paced story and not aimed at any specific audience. Has some real poetic moments too! Thanks!

[wellforth]

They shud remake this movie wiv Jim Carrey playin (gene wilder's) part n Chris Rock playin (richard pryor's) part. it wud be a good remake

[kmothersil]

Remaking this movie would be like a train wreck. It's not a very good idea.

[CHICKENNUGGETS1011]

I disagree, I love this movie

[kmothersil]

@CHICKENNUGGETS1011

No one can ever replace Gene Wilder or Richard Pryor. I do agree that the movie is great though. I check each time to see when its on T.V.

[SmokenxKush]

i love this movie!

[abandonallhopebx]

ROTFT look at the dudes name @ the bottom @ 2:42 - 2:47 I can't imagine someones parents giving them that for a 1st name st8 hilarious!!!

Btw: Thx for post'n this classic!!! I had almost forgot'n what good movies were (LoL)...

[mattsieluv]

@abandonallhopebx That`s not his real name, it`s actually Benjamin Crothers(1910-1986). He coined the nick-name in the 1930`s when he auditioned for a radio show. The director didn`t think "Benjamin" was a catchy enough name so he quickly decided on "Scatman" as he was a scat singer (a jazz vocalist that improvises melodies and rhythms). The name stuck.

[Rexxxon]

Wow, awesome quality!

[comic93]

LOL "Do you go all the way?".

[Sshelly34213]

Wow fantastic score from Mancini!

[McLarenMercedes]

He always did fantastic scores. But I do agree Silver Streak was a great score that suited the movie like a glove.

[Sshelly34213]

Indeed, I'm not sure what it is.

[151L107]

@Sshelly34213 I agree...I like the beginning. It makes me believe that I'm traveling on a train...

[Sshelly34213]

@151L107 Indeed

[Kjr0se]

I thought this movie was good enough for 20th Century Fox to do a sequel, that picks up where Silver Streak left off, with the same cast, except for Patrick McGoohan, and have George and Hilly get involved in a similar situation and have them take another train called the Silver Streak, and have the destination be different, but with the same similar plot, but with different twists to the plot.

[steptocarpus]

I remember going to see this at the cinema long ago. Still is a great movie.

[hip2thabone]

Lol vitamin E keeps the pencil sharp ;)

[runly1]

OMG, I was obsessed with this movie as a teenager. Watching this again is going to be fun! Thanks for posting.

[socalcraigster]

I loved this movie and used to watch it all the time on local tv back in the 80's

[Fartingbellybutton]

@runly1 me too

[wickedwind112]

thanks for posting! :)

[timmhg]

One of my favourite films in my life. The first time I watch it I was laughing a lot!

[microbusss]

also would love to do this train & its cars in HO Scale someday

[microbusss]

soundtrack avalible from Amazon =)

[ubiquitor]

Ned Beatty and Ray Walston in the same cast, praise be...

[spindalis79]

This was one of the first movies I ever really enjoyed. I was into model railroading and trains in general at the time. My folks videotaped this from the TV in 1984. I was five. Great to see this again!

[poupounegidoune]

This movie was so much fun.

There was even a preview of the original "Star Wars" before it. :D

[DetroitLass]

Gene and Richard are magic on the screen! ty for posting.

[roquefortfiles]

this movie was made as an homage to Carry Grant and North by Northwest.  Apparently Carry loved the film very much.

[kbrazzill]

does any1 know the name of the film of about the same vintage as this 1, its about a big long bendy bus that could change its own tyres on the move?

[dokokai]

@kbrazzill "The Big Bus", also released in 1976, the same year as Silver Streak. The bus was nuclear powered & even had a bowling alley & swimming pool on it.

[acs1789]

It was a great movie. In the first scenes, the union station is clearly Los Angeles', but in the later scene, as the train pulls out, it appears to be some other station/city.

[dasfmn1997]

According to Wikipedia, most of the film was shot in Canada, specifically Alberta and Toronto. The locomotives and cars were painted in the CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway) paint scheme with the "AmRoad" signs lamely stuck over the CPR logos. The lead EMD E-unit locomotive is still in service in Quebec, the second unit has been scrapped (The E-units were produced by EMD from the late 1930s to 1963, so they were already old in 1976 when this movie was made). I was 10 when this movie came out.

[Hania454]

I love this film, it always puts a smile on my face. Peace.

[seanw23]

when was "See no evil, hear no evil"

[amentveddergossard]

1989.

[seanw23]

that long, huh... O_O

same "year" i was born

[MannenQ]

A little quastion...

Why is the train sounding the horn all the time?

[MannenQ]

I mean when it's on the station.

[demon27dan]

It's just signalling that its getting ready to depart, so anyone seeing off their friends can leave the train, and that the crew can make their final preparations.

[MannenQ]

Ah, thanks, finaly I found that out xD

[seanw23]

here's another one for ya.

is richard pryor dead? because i'm curious about that.

[ajs12499]

Yes he is.

[seanw23]

he was the greatest actor/comedian there was.

all the new ones suck. he was the best (the original)

it's sad that he died.

[DetroitLass]

read his autobiog. one of the best books I've ever read.

[Zboyx420]

i was downloading themovie from the net and it was takeing forrrrrrever shoulda known to check youtube first

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Vitamin E-before Viagra, lol!

[Hania454]

Thanks so much for posting this movie. I first saw it as a kid and loved it then and I still love it.

[Madisland11]

can you upload See No Evil Hear No Evil?

[demon27dan]

Best quality uploaded movie on YouTube! Well done tasdau!!!!!!!!! And such a great movie too! It's full of moments I can watch time and time again!!

[MannenQ]

Nice quality!

[kirkindysolospock]

Always nice to see Scatman Crothers, the voice of 'Hong Kong Phooey'.

Lol, I haven't seen someone drink a Tab since the 70's.

[gawa1265]

great little movie, boy did I have the hots for Jill Clayburgh after this movie

[archeronfoot]

Man I love American trains. Like your cars you build them right with style

[vigo894]

Thank you for those comments. I was born the year this film was released.

[roquefortfiles]

Only no American train company would let them shoot it. The film was shot entirely in Alberta Canada. Great film though.

[surfer53]

I heard it was shot in Oakville, Ontario.

[yastunt]

Thanks for uploading this forgotten classic! The big stunt at the end was reportedly filmed in a warehouse with a "real" train carriage and stunt people, along with fake walls.

[Kjr0se]

In the movie Silver Streak, the car that Gene Wilder is on is called Elgin Manor, number 161, but I won't doubt what you say about the name of that same car is now, called Butler Manor, but in the movie, it was called Elgin Manor though.

[gaycowboy31]

thank you I realize that after typeing that thanks for correcting me on that my mistake wrong car I have been on the Elgin Manor too that what I really ment to type wrong car

[gaycowboy31]

very interesting the opening scene in Los Angles Union station but the train actully leaves from Toronto Union station...that room he is in and the railcar he is on is still in active service on the VIA rail Canadian...if I remember right that is the Butler Manor..I have slept in that actuall room he is in too LOL

[JolieJane]

Thankyou - have been wanting to see this movie for years :)

[Kjr0se]

I LOVE this movie, I have it on VHS, but I wish I could get it on DVD as well, I thought I heard at one time the DVD version of the movie has behind the scenes interviews with the cast and that kind of stuff, but I LOVe this movie because I'm a train buff.

[gaycowboy31]

yah it is on dvd I have it that shouldnt be hard to find

[MegaQwerty4321]

another oldie but goodie, Foul Play. Can anyone upload that film? we can't buy it in the UK

[roquefortfiles]

LOL i so know what you mean. I love this film to. Its a love letter to trains it really is. Actually not many people know that this movie is really a tip of the hat to North By Northwest. Carry Grant apparently liked it immensely.

[blood4life885]

yes! you're the man for uploading this
