"He's not your run of the mill basket case is he?"

"This guy is definitely out to lunch!"

Great american film making.Clint and jeff the good old days.Love that 1973 fury!

[MrGoblin60]

Hey, haven't seen this since about 1974. That scene with the maniac in the Plymoth is brilliant; he makes about as much sense as Robert Mugabe and Col Gadaffi combined!

[Masterofpizza12345]

[megagalee]

"this guy a friend of yours?"

"slightly advanced,isnt he?"

[stewielips]

This is my favorite Eastwood film, however, when the Buick goes off the road over the hill, the Eastwood dummy is clear even at full speed. It ALWAYS makes me chuckle a bit. Still doesn't take away from the beauty of this film or the stellar cinematography... just look at the framing when Bridges sits indian style with the Montana big sky in the background, Clint looks 12 ft tall! awesome!

One of my favorite buddy movies of the 70's along with Scarecrow and Midnight Cowboy!

[gcdcjccc]

one of the great classic movies of the seventies. the "method" actor driving that Fury is none other than Bill McKinney, the same fella who porked Ned Beatty (another great actor) in the movie Deliverance

[SheriffTankStoner]

@gcdcjccc Bill was also Redlegs in 'The Outlaw Josey Wales', the Constable in 'The Gauntlet and a few other Clint Eastwood movies. Guess having stock company players is one thing Clint had in common with Jack Webb.

i have a 1973 fury just like this bought it off a guy in a small town

[graverobber35]

remember not to pick your teeth !

put the whole movie up!

[hamtrak]

At 1:44 you can see a Panavision camera in the backseat and a mannequin in the passenger seat. :o

[fuzzynippleman]

eagle bait.........poor rabbits. they really scared the shit out of that first one they shot the blanks at...LOL

[fuzzynippleman]

good thing they had an off-road car....

[jpphy23]

The crazy driver cracks me up so much. I cannot even think about this scene without laughing.

[Kylev2]

I want that Fury so badly...

[treebella23]

I always liked Kennedy........great actor. What year was this movie?

[wilkesjournal]

1974

[videozman1]

Love the old school movie car chases. Classic movie. Jeff and Clint = the best.

[SidJustice1]

Yeah, nothing like 3 tons of steel haulin' ass and rollin' over with rabbits. *lol* I've always liked Kennedy, too. He has played some great tough bad-ass characters over the years.

Funny you had mentioned Bridges in 'KIng Kong' (1976) he was underrated as hell in that.

[videozman1]

Jessica Lange's big break. A lot of peole have said that movie was not very good. I have always liked it and better than 05 remake by Peter Jackson IMO.

[SidJustice1]

Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the '05 remake, either. But yeah, Bridges, Lange and Charles Grodin were great. IDK why ppl didn't like it. I was very young, but I remember my parents taking us kids to go see that in '76.

[videozman1]

Fitst saw on cable and scared shit out of me as a kid but grew to like it.

[woowoodywoodywoody13]

my favorite of all time...

[apatheticempathy]

Classic clip of a classic MOPAR !!!

God, I wish they made cars like that agian !

[markthebusman]

That car trip with the Redneck has to be the funniest clip I have ever seen in a film. Priceless! Between the ultra-high rear suspension of the car, the noise of the V8 shifting through the gears as the exhaust fumes pour into the passenger area, and after the car flips a few times, Clint's classic line "What the hells the matter with you, 'boy?" as yer man swings the shotgun at him. Almost pissed myself laughing watching that again!! Brilliant!

[db0956]

Man, I sure wish I had that sweet '51 Merc coupe! I remember when the movie was new and I cringed when I saw how the car was treated!

[frankd1965]

oscar winner George Kennedy was in this. BTW I like what he says to an 8 year old boy.
