Kirk Douglas goofing off for the camera in a wheelbarrow

It's cool to finally post a photo of Kirk Douglas, I've enjoyed his movies, and he's the type of celeb movie star that I'd catagorize as "cool". In 20,000 leagues he even sang, and that song is part of the Disney songs catalog... not the guy you'd expect to find int he Disney song catalog huh?

Frankencuda http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/troy-brumbalows-frankencuda-design-by.html which is said to be int he 5th Fast and Furious movie, and corroborated http://fast-and-furious-5-movie-trailer.blogspot.com/2010/08/fast-and-furious-5-movie-pictures.html but my guess it's just a cameo split second moment... not more than 20 seconds screentime.

the new Fast and Furious movie preview

For an easy going enjoyable older movie, DC Cab. Its rated R, so send the kids to the other room, but Mr T, Gary Busey, Max Gail, and Bill Maher star

Sounds like a Richard Pryor swearfest, but it's got Checker cabs throughout, car chases, good guys becoming a team and facing the bad guys, solving a kidnapping, and overcoming adversity.

In the movie "The Great Race" you may have liked the "Leslie Special" ... but did you think they'd ever put it in another movie? I'm 1st to notice

above photo via: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=428585&page=733

There are differences, but the grill, hood ornament, and distictive doors are the same. The Leslie Special was made for the movie "The Great Race" and is not a vintage real car, it's a custom built to look like the Thomas Flyer that won the 1907 Paris to Peking race http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/winner-of-1907-paris-to-peking.html .

Both movies are Warner Brothers Pictures, and that makes it more possible that its the same car... what else would a movie company do with a movie car after the publicity is over for the first movie it was featured in?

http://www.imcdb.org/movie_65446-The-Ballad-of-Cable-Hogue.html demonstrates that no one has identified the car yet on the IMCDB site

Gotta love old movies for cool unusual cars

and I was really surprised to discover this famous car isn't mentioned to have been in a 2nd movie anywhere on the internet. But it is undeniably the same car painted green, and until now, nothing was on the internet about it.

Smothers Brothers 68 Hurst Olds

I'm watching Season 3, episode 212, (you can get it from Netflix, mailed, it's not instant downloadable) and they filmed Dick taking his Olds (looks like a 68 Hurst Olds) down the quarter mile in 12.9 at 109

I can't put the youtube video here, the owner doesn't allow that option (he wants you to see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh3qg14K2-M or buy it on his website)

Some still photos are in a silent video, no action film at all, at minute 5:48 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv2KBEXlZiE&NR=1

Comedic use of automobiles in silent movies

Above Buster Keaton enacts a common concept that a Model T had to be put down like a horse when it's useful life was over, because like a horse, it was all give and no take, all heart.

1929 and 1924

the wheel chair has an attached power wheel, looks like something I just watched on the History channel show "American Pickers" an interesting show I like to try to catch. Also similar to the Briggs and Stratton motor wheel
