Thunderbolt & Lightfoot - 1st Car Chase & Crazy Redneck 'n Rabbit Car Ride

Check out my car styling blog: http://stylingcarsblog.blogspot.com/
Red and Goody lie in wait for T & L outside a diner, fire off some welcoming rounds and give chase. Lightfoot looses Goody's tough old Merc in the hills, but trashes the Riv's tranny. Later, on foot, they manage to hitch a ride from a insane redneck who likes huffing Mopar exhaust fumes. They survive the wild ride and a rollover to find the rednecks glass jaw and his boot full of hares. Lightfoot finds a going away gift from a raccoon.

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!

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!
