  • @trunda96 Nothing like the life of a hollywood stuntman by Bent Myggen

  • They must have had to turn the transmission round or something... How else could you get any truck to do that speed in reverse?

  • Comment removed

  • @fodsaks

    They rigged the back wheels to turn and the drive hid in a compartment in the bed and looked out a hole in a tail gate.

    Just read Hal Needham's (The director) new book that came out a month ago and he described how they did it.

  • @fodsaks It might have been a 2 or 3 speed reverse. Some big trucks have that many gears in reverse.

  • Back b4 animation.....when stuff waz more real.

    end of line.

  • The highway patrolman that performed the stunt was Dave Mungenast. Along with being a stuntman, he was also an avid motorcycle rider, and collector. He was well known in the St. Louis area for owning several new car dealerships. Dave passed away a few years ago, but, anyone who knew him will be quick to tell you what a great guy he was, and express his passion for motorcycles.

  • I want to see the scene in which they have eaten breakfast and Two of them are still watching stuntreels (Burt Reynolds and Jan Michael Vincent and then Brian Keith wakes up )

  • The guy singing is James Best. He is also in the movie and is better known as Roscoe on the Dukes of Hazzard.

  • @66mustangdriver . Yeah , he also was in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show as a kinda Elvis wannbe. Good post !

  • the good thing about the old movies like this they didnt use cgi, its all real like smokey and the bandit.

  • thanks for this classic bit from HOOPER.. That is some fancy shit... I love how they jack that cop as they all take off.. LOL.. Cinemax needs to run this film again...

  • thanks for posting! any chance you could load the whole movie?

  • Man in the real world they would all be in major trouble. Open alcohol containers, wreckless driving,.....but still a fun flick !

  • Hooper is a great movie!!

  • Great moments in this movie.

  • ok does anybody know who sung that song and what its called?

  • "Nothin' like the life (of a Hollywood stuntman)", dunno who the performer is. If you watch the closing credits of the movie, there's a listing.

  • I saw this movie three times at the theater when I was in kindergarten. I thought that was one of the funniest scenes in the movie.

  • Jocko got some big cojones

  • Sometimes I think Fall Guy tv series was born from this. Love it, Burt takes off backward again after ticket. Classic Comedy.

  • Yeah, Larson has been accused of "ripping off" the concept from this and 'Star Wars' for 'Battlestar Galactica' and other films.

    Thanks for sending, seeing stuff like this is music to my eyes! *lol*
