Top 5 Movie Cars!

<v Speaker 1>Hi.
<v Speaker 2>My name's Avil Colvin and you're listening to my dad
<v Speaker 2>on the show You Can't Be Serious Podcasts.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, guys, this is Jason. We Sureley you Can't be Serious.
<v Speaker 1>On this particular episode, we dropped in several musical cues
<v Speaker 1>that are specific to the cars or the movies that
<v Speaker 1>they're in. But I also dropped in four non specific
<v Speaker 1>musical cues. I'm wondering if you can catch those and
<v Speaker 1>see what those are. If you figure out what those are,
<v Speaker 1>hit us up on Facebook, hit us up on Twitter,
<v Speaker 1>send us an email at Shirley podcast on gmail dot com.
<v Speaker 1>See if you can figure them out.
<v Speaker 3>Thanks a lot.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just a little worried that people aren't gonna
<v Speaker 2>see the sign. Hey, you can't park that here.
<v Speaker 1>Everybody can relax. I found the cars episode.
<v Speaker 2>Hello everybody, Welcome to this Shirley you Can't Be Serious podcast?
<v Speaker 2>Where the way we see it, if you're gonna make
<v Speaker 2>a podcast about cars, why not do it with some style.
<v Speaker 1>Oh there we go.
<v Speaker 2>There we go, Ladies and gentlemen, We are here for
<v Speaker 2>our first in what will we believe be a series
<v Speaker 2>of episodes on Top five cars. We are restricting ourselves
<v Speaker 2>today to movies. We probably will have TV shows coming up,
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully at some point we'll do James Bond cars exclusively,
<v Speaker 2>but today we are just doing movie cars.
<v Speaker 1>I know. And right before we started this episode, I
<v Speaker 1>was like, okay, eighty to eighty nine. You're like nope.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, sir, what no, do not try to add
<v Speaker 2>extra rules, mister rule breaker.
<v Speaker 1>That's okay. I don't need anything outside of the eighties.
<v Speaker 1>I've got this.
<v Speaker 2>So I literally, when we're texting back and forth on this,
<v Speaker 2>You're like, what are the rules And I said.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I know the rules before I break them away.
<v Speaker 2>Right exactly. And I said, so the quote was I
<v Speaker 2>would say that we could do the top five cars
<v Speaker 2>and you said sounds good, except vehicles, and I was
<v Speaker 2>like yes, And then I was like, must have wheels, right.
<v Speaker 2>And then as I'm texting, you're sending a gift and
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I know it's coming, and I say, before
<v Speaker 2>you even send the gift, I'm like, now Jason's brain
<v Speaker 2>starts trying to figure out how he can bend this
<v Speaker 2>one rule of it has to have and you send
<v Speaker 2>me a gift of Maverick flying in f one fifty.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, the F sixteen Fighter Tom Kat has wheels.
<v Speaker 2>D right, Sorry, he wasn't flying a pickup truck. That
<v Speaker 2>was there was a wrong kind of f there. And
<v Speaker 2>you're like, planes have wheels. I'm like, exactly, I knew
<v Speaker 2>this what you were going to do. So, ladies and gentlemen,
<v Speaker 2>I fully anticipate that Lightning McQueen is going to be
<v Speaker 2>one of Jason's choices. I don't know that it is.
<v Speaker 2>We haven't talked about our list with each other, but.
<v Speaker 1>Biddy McQueen's not in the eighties, so you're lucky.
<v Speaker 2>Well, we didn't say it had to be in the eighties,
<v Speaker 2>so anyway, I guess we said no boats, no planes
<v Speaker 2>must have wheels. But beyond that, it can be anything.
<v Speaker 2>It can be like primarily for the road. But what
<v Speaker 2>makes it the best vehicle is purely our interpretation.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Okaydee, We've got a lot of Oklahoma listeners. I'll
<v Speaker 1>tell you about this podcast that I found that I
<v Speaker 1>really enjoy and the guys are great. They listen to
<v Speaker 1>our show, we listen to their show. It's called the
<v Speaker 1>Only in Oklahoma Podcast.
<v Speaker 2>I love this podcast.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they travel around they find these great little hole
<v Speaker 1>in the wall restaurants. They recommend plays in Paul's Valley
<v Speaker 1>where you said, I either.
<v Speaker 2>All the time. Yeah, when I used to work down
<v Speaker 2>in Paul's Valley. And they just did an episode on
<v Speaker 2>Bob's Pigshop down there. It is iconic, not only for
<v Speaker 2>its food and it's decor. It's owner, who's actually not Bob,
<v Speaker 2>but it's owner is a guy who like he's he's
<v Speaker 2>just the little old hippie guy and he's got He
<v Speaker 2>drives around a Japanese pickup truck that he converted into
<v Speaker 2>being able to run off of his old French fried Greece.
<v Speaker 2>I mean what. And that particular restaurant is like the
<v Speaker 2>hub of the biggest noodling competition in Oklahoma, which is
<v Speaker 2>a pretty big thing sure, And so yeah, it was
<v Speaker 2>a great episode that they did. And that is a
<v Speaker 2>fun restaurant to go too, if you just happen to
<v Speaker 2>be in Paul's Valley, Oklahoma.
<v Speaker 1>That's really cool. So Brett and Harley are good friends
<v Speaker 1>over there. Go check out The Only in Oak Home
<v Speaker 1>a podcast. So greatest vehicles in movie history, No wings,
<v Speaker 1>no boats, right, and no James Bond vehicles.
<v Speaker 2>And no James Bond vehicles and no TV cars. We're
<v Speaker 2>doing just movies. So and it's as it's going to be.
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be mostly eighties movies, So buckle up
<v Speaker 2>for some stories of hookers and blow Okay, Jason, it's
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and six miles to the end of the episode.
<v Speaker 2>We got a full tank of gas, a half a
<v Speaker 2>pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
<v Speaker 1>Hit it.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm ready to jump in. Do you want to
<v Speaker 2>go first? You want me to go first, I'll go first.
<v Speaker 2>I'll go first.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm kind of excited about this.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And and for if you haven't heard one of
<v Speaker 2>our Top five episodes before, what we typically do to
<v Speaker 2>make this fun is we try to tease it up
<v Speaker 2>with a little bit of trivia, try to guess that
<v Speaker 2>the other guy's car. So Jason's gonna tease this up
<v Speaker 2>for me, and I'm going to see if I can
<v Speaker 2>guess what it is.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So we go five, four, three two honorable honorable
<v Speaker 1>mention number one, and that's how we do it.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so number five five, all right for this vehicle.
<v Speaker 1>This is a Stephen King movie.
<v Speaker 2>Okay.
<v Speaker 1>We have not talked about in our podcast, yet we
<v Speaker 1>have not talked about I talked about it.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so this is not the fifty eight Plymouth Fury
<v Speaker 2>from Christine.
<v Speaker 1>That's correct, is not Christine. Let's mark that off the list.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've got another couple of ideas in my head.
<v Speaker 2>Keep going.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So this was a black colored white Western Star
<v Speaker 1>forty eight hundred. It had a trailer that said Happy
<v Speaker 1>Toys on it.
<v Speaker 2>Okay.
<v Speaker 1>The engine is an eight V dash seven to one,
<v Speaker 1>which means nothing to me.
<v Speaker 2>Right, we are we are not car guys. We are
<v Speaker 2>we're not car guys. So we're gonna say some stuff
<v Speaker 2>that even we don't know what it means. But it's
<v Speaker 2>fun to kind of tease these up. Right, So let
<v Speaker 2>me ask this question. Yes, did this particular vehicle bear
<v Speaker 2>the resemblance to a Spider Man villain.
<v Speaker 1>As it did?
<v Speaker 2>All right, you must be talking about the semi in
<v Speaker 2>Maximum Overdrive.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, absolutely, the Maximum Overdrive Green Goblin Happy Toys truck.
<v Speaker 1>They had to get permission for Marvel to have this
<v Speaker 1>in the movie.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Surprisingly, the first time you see Green Goblin is
<v Speaker 2>not in a Spider Man movie. It's in a Stephen
<v Speaker 2>King movie.
<v Speaker 1>Maximum Overdrive came out in nineteen eighty six. Stephen King
<v Speaker 1>was the director of this movie. He wanted, get this,
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Springsteen to be the lead actor in this movie. Wow, okay,
<v Speaker 1>now get this.
<v Speaker 2>Wow.
<v Speaker 1>Dino del lrentis, of course, our good buddy. The Italian
<v Speaker 1>producer Dina de Lurentis. Yeah, told told producers He's like,
<v Speaker 1>Stephen wants some unknown actor named Bruce Springsteen to be
<v Speaker 1>in this He's like, no problem, I get Emilio Estavis.
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me? We could have had Maximum Overdrive
<v Speaker 1>with Bruce Springsteen.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it would have saved the movie anyway.
<v Speaker 1>This truck is basically an unmanned vehicle. It's the villain
<v Speaker 1>of the movie, based on a short story by Stephen
<v Speaker 1>King called Trucks. This was shot in North Carolina and
<v Speaker 1>basically the truck is destroyed at the end of the
<v Speaker 1>movie by a rocket launcher. But some guy found it
<v Speaker 1>in a junkyard. Oh wow, dug it out, restored it
<v Speaker 1>and now it travels around to comic cons and stuff
<v Speaker 1>like that.
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic very vehicle. Yeah, it's a great one, very iconic.
<v Speaker 1>Not on your list, not on my list, Okay.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, all right, so my number five. This vehicle is
<v Speaker 2>either nineteen eighty one or nineteen eighty three. There's some
<v Speaker 2>you know, argument about what it is, as you'll learn
<v Speaker 2>when you study movie cars. When they get a car
<v Speaker 2>in a movie, they do all kinds of stuff to
<v Speaker 2>it that makes you go, wait, wait, wait, which one
<v Speaker 2>is this right? And you can't tell. But the vehicle
<v Speaker 2>itself was produced from nineteen seventy four to nineteen ninety three.
<v Speaker 2>This particular model is supercharged, and it's kind of supercharged
<v Speaker 2>by the main character. Now, the main character and the
<v Speaker 2>main villain are both Martial Arts icons. They actually wanted
<v Speaker 2>Bruce Lee to play the lead villain, but he died,
<v Speaker 2>so they've got a different martial Art arts icon as
<v Speaker 2>the villain in this one. The engine for this thing
<v Speaker 2>came in a three eighteen or three sixty. My guess
<v Speaker 2>is this was a three sixty four by four produced
<v Speaker 2>by the Chrysler Corporation. This is a second Gin version,
<v Speaker 2>whichever it is, the eighty one or the eighty three,
<v Speaker 2>and literally nine days ago from the time that we're
<v Speaker 2>recording this podcast, the vehicle producer announced that the name,
<v Speaker 2>which has been out of use in the US since
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety three. The name is returning, but it's returning
<v Speaker 2>as a different type of vehicle. It's going to be
<v Speaker 2>there plug in hybrid full size pickup. You're still clueless,
<v Speaker 2>aren't you.
<v Speaker 1>I can't get my mind off of Jackie chan and
<v Speaker 1>the Chinese guy in the Canniball run car.
<v Speaker 2>Now, the Jackie Chan and this guy I believe have
<v Speaker 2>been in the same movie. But this movie, I'll give
<v Speaker 2>you a little bit bigger of a hint. It was
<v Speaker 2>the movie that inspired TV series Walker, Texas Ranger. Still clueless.
<v Speaker 2>This is not an iconic movie for a lot of folks.
<v Speaker 2>The main good guy carries a forty four magnum most
<v Speaker 2>powerful handgun in America. But he's not the one that
<v Speaker 2>says not Clint Eastwood, Clint.
<v Speaker 1>He's put in Jackie chan in and he has a
<v Speaker 1>pet wolf. Wait man, wait wait wait wait wait yeah,
<v Speaker 1>this lone wolf McQuaid.
<v Speaker 2>You got it, baby, Yes, And so the v involved
<v Speaker 2>is a nineteen eighty one or nineteen eighty three Ram charger.
<v Speaker 2>My last hint for you is going to be there's
<v Speaker 2>one of these parked in your driveway right now, because
<v Speaker 2>that's what I drive. Wow, I drive a nineteen ninety
<v Speaker 2>three Ram Charger that my dad bought when I was
<v Speaker 2>seventeen years old. That's really cool. It's it is a
<v Speaker 2>fun car, and people every time I'm driving down the road,
<v Speaker 2>people will point because they're like, hey, you never see
<v Speaker 2>these anymore. This Dodge ram Charger was Dodge's answer to
<v Speaker 2>the Ford Bronco, the Chevy Blazer, a lot of iconic
<v Speaker 2>cars that were the two door SUVs of the day.
<v Speaker 2>You just need a pet wolf now, I guess exactly exactly.
<v Speaker 2>And so the villain in this one is played by
<v Speaker 2>none other than David Carodeine. At some point they asked
<v Speaker 2>Chuck Norris, the lead in this you know, is David
<v Speaker 2>Carodine actually good at martial arts? And his response was,
<v Speaker 2>David Carodine is every bit as good a martial artist
<v Speaker 2>as I am an actor.
<v Speaker 1>Good.
<v Speaker 3>I like it.
<v Speaker 1>See, Chuck Norris got a sense of here.
<v Speaker 2>That's funny. They didn't you stunt doubles for their fight
<v Speaker 2>scene though last fight scene they said, no, we are
<v Speaker 2>going to We're going to really fight each other. We're
<v Speaker 2>not going to use stunt doubles in this and this car.
<v Speaker 2>If you're not familiar with the movie, there is an
<v Speaker 2>iconic scene where David Carrodine beats Chuck Norris senseless for ragoons, right,
<v Speaker 2>throws him in the ram charger. Right, this is This
<v Speaker 2>is Chuck Norris's ram charger, throws him in, pushes him
<v Speaker 2>into a hole, buries him in dirt. Yes, you see
<v Speaker 2>Chuck Norris inside his coffin right of the ram charger.
<v Speaker 2>And to revive himself, he takes a beer and pours
<v Speaker 2>it over his head, which gives him new life. And
<v Speaker 2>then he flips a little switch on his homemade supercharger
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, this ram charger plows out
<v Speaker 2>of the dirt like a freakin miracle.
<v Speaker 1>You sent this clip to me and I was like,
<v Speaker 1>this makes Superman four look like The Godfather.
<v Speaker 2>It kind of does.
<v Speaker 1>It's gotta be a cannon film, right, No, I.
<v Speaker 2>Think this is actually a legitimately good like I talked to.
<v Speaker 2>I talked to Kevin Davis about this, and he was like, oh, no,
<v Speaker 2>that's a great movie. I love that movie. It's not
<v Speaker 2>badly ranked.
<v Speaker 1>Even pouring the beer on his face to revive him
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit much for me.
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you've seen the action movies of the eighties, right,
<v Speaker 2>you've seen the Arl schwarzenigger movies, right, Yes, you've seen Commando, right.
<v Speaker 1>I freaking love Commando.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this is if you were a Chuck Norris fan,
<v Speaker 2>this would be your Commando.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, awesome.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, this movie was rated R because they
<v Speaker 2>said the F word twice, and Chuck Norris went to
<v Speaker 2>the ratings board and he said, listen, this is a
<v Speaker 2>story where good overcomes evil. It should be rated PG,
<v Speaker 2>and they said, we will rate it PG.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, sir, Chuck Norris. Karate kicked the ratings board
<v Speaker 1>in the head.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, just another car. Note, they're doing a
<v Speaker 2>panoramic like establishing shot of El Paso, and as they're
<v Speaker 2>doing it, there's an actual car crash that happens that
<v Speaker 2>they caught on film.
<v Speaker 1>Really. Yeah, that's good. That's good. Okay, all right, your turn,
<v Speaker 1>all right, D to number four four Okay. So when
<v Speaker 1>this car came out the original MSRP twelve thousand dollars okay,
<v Speaker 1>which is weird because when I find it on the internet,
<v Speaker 1>it also tells me that there were only fifty six
<v Speaker 1>of these manufactured, so that price seems extremely low to me.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's a little crazy. I have a vehicle
<v Speaker 2>that they are only like fifty six made, and it's like,
<v Speaker 2>but it's like fifteen million dollars.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we should wait and talk about that one later.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, very good, very good, all right, So I'll go
<v Speaker 2>to my number four. Okay, this car, I'm gonna give
<v Speaker 2>it to you right off the bat is a nineteen
<v Speaker 2>fifty nine Cadillac. Okay, it's Cadillac El Dorado. At the
<v Speaker 2>time it was made, it was the most expensive top
<v Speaker 2>of the line Cadillac that you could buy. But when
<v Speaker 2>they used it in the movie, it is thirty five years.
<v Speaker 1>Old, early nineteen fifty nine, so we're talking ninety four,
<v Speaker 1>it was years old. Okay, gotcha, gotcha, nineteen eighty four. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>sorry about that.
<v Speaker 2>I was informed there would be no mass did that
<v Speaker 2>to myself, all right. Early versions of the script for
<v Speaker 2>this movie gave it the power of interdimensional travel.
<v Speaker 1>Ah.
<v Speaker 2>A replica of it recently sold for eighty thousand dollars,
<v Speaker 2>but they picked up the original for only forty eight
<v Speaker 2>hundred dollars. Of course, it needed suspension work and shocks, breaks,
<v Speaker 2>break pads, lining, steering box, transmission rear end, maybe new
<v Speaker 2>rings also muffler, a little wiring. Wow, I'll give you
<v Speaker 2>a couple more hits. Couple more hits. A right, but
<v Speaker 2>here's here's your hint. This nineteen fifty nine Cadillact was
<v Speaker 2>modified by the Miller Meteor Sentinel Company into limo style
<v Speaker 2>end loader and used for an ambulance or hearse. This
<v Speaker 2>is the ectomobile from Ghostbusters Ectomobile Ecto one, Baby Go one.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, new Ghostbusters movie coming out next year
<v Speaker 2>called Frozen Empire. Excited to see how that goes? Okay,
<v Speaker 2>I thought they'd I thought After Life was good. I
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed it. I didn't think it was as good as
<v Speaker 2>the original, but it wasn't bad. I thought they did
<v Speaker 2>a good remake.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd go Ghostbusters one one, Ghostbusters two number two,
<v Speaker 1>Ghostbusters After Life number three, and then the one with
<v Speaker 1>the girls a distant fourth.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and about to be a distant fifth, I think.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree with you.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So this is the white ectomobile that the Ghostbusters are
<v Speaker 1>cleaning up the town.
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I said, they had planned for it to
<v Speaker 2>be black, but then they realized we've got a lot
<v Speaker 2>of night scenes and you won't be able to see
<v Speaker 2>it at night. So they decided to paint it white.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's really cool. I love it. Ecto one, all right, two,
<v Speaker 1>my number.
<v Speaker 2>Three, number three three, all right, d.
<v Speaker 1>This vehicle has been entered into the Library of Congress
<v Speaker 1>National Historic Vehicle Register. Okay, it's actually like in this
<v Speaker 1>glass box like in Washington, d C. And you can
<v Speaker 1>look at it like I mean, it's like a giant
<v Speaker 1>toy box. It's really cool.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's like a museum piece.
<v Speaker 1>It's like a museum piece, one of those coming up later.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think this is it, but we'll keep going.
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So the name of this vehicle, which has been legendary,
<v Speaker 1>like I've heard it my whole life like this, If
<v Speaker 1>there's any car in the list that we have, this
<v Speaker 1>would probably be the one I choose for myself, right,
<v Speaker 1>this is the one I want to own. And I've
<v Speaker 1>heard the name my entire life, and I've never known
<v Speaker 1>what it meant.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay.
<v Speaker 1>The name of this car comes from the Piedmontese language
<v Speaker 1>that is an exclamation of astonishment. Okay, so the English
<v Speaker 1>equivalent would be like oh my gosh, right, like goodness, wow? Okay. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the designer of this vehicle His name is Marcelo Gandini.
<v Speaker 1>He also worked on the Lotus Spirit that you see
<v Speaker 1>in The Spy Who Loved Me, which James Bond turned
<v Speaker 1>into a submarine, which I'm sure will be on a
<v Speaker 1>list at a later.
<v Speaker 2>Date, no question.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the original MSRP on this vehicle in nineteen seventy nine. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and five dollars. Wow, that's an forty forty
<v Speaker 1>two inches high off of the ground. Forty two inches
<v Speaker 1>off the ground. When you drive this vehicle, the speed
<v Speaker 1>limit may be only fifty five miles per hour, but
<v Speaker 1>you may feel compelled to go one hundred sixty one
<v Speaker 1>eighty and pull over and spray paint the speed limit sign.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've got it. Okay, good, Yes, So I mentioned
<v Speaker 2>to you that I deliberately, like pushed a few off
<v Speaker 2>of my possibilities list, just in hopes that you would
<v Speaker 2>pick them. Yeah, this was one. This has got to
<v Speaker 2>be the Lamborghini from Cannonball Run, driven by beautiful babe herself,
<v Speaker 2>Adrian Barbeoa.
<v Speaker 1>You got it. Cannonball Cannonballs done. What do it's how
<v Speaker 1>you do? The name coontage Lamborghini coontage.
<v Speaker 2>That's so inappropriate.
<v Speaker 1>It is an exclamation. It's they said one of the
<v Speaker 1>guys who was working on the develop of the vehicle,
<v Speaker 1>he kept looking at it and going insane that Italian
<v Speaker 1>word kutash, oh cootash. And they named it after that
<v Speaker 1>guy because he kept saying, oh, my gosh, perfect this, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that is perfect.
<v Speaker 2>That was one of our earliest episodes, Cannonball Run versus
<v Speaker 2>Smoky in the Band.
<v Speaker 1>Smoking in the bandit Ooh that black Lamborghini Coutage nineteen
<v Speaker 1>seventy nine beautiful.
<v Speaker 2>When I think of that car, I think of the
<v Speaker 2>early eighties going to the gift shop where they had
<v Speaker 2>all of the posters and flipping through trying to find
<v Speaker 2>the most racers. Yes, it was Coach House Gifts in
<v Speaker 2>Fort Smith, trying to find the most recent Samantha Fox poster.
<v Speaker 2>But invariably there would be some ultra hot babe next
<v Speaker 2>to one of these cars.
<v Speaker 1>I had a poster of a black Lamborghini Kutage in
<v Speaker 1>my room growing up, by the way Spandex with the
<v Speaker 1>front zipper sold separately on this one.
<v Speaker 2>Well, hello, hot pants, I don't suppose you have a
<v Speaker 2>driver license cut down in there somewhere.
<v Speaker 1>Do you okay to your number three, Sir number three.
<v Speaker 2>This vehicle is unique. Had some specialized styling that they
<v Speaker 2>started doing with these type of vehicles in the late fifties.
<v Speaker 1>It has what's called a sissy bar.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. This vehicle was an eighty six model called an
<v Speaker 2>FXR super Glide. Had a thirteen thirty seven CCV twin engine.
<v Speaker 1>Okay.
<v Speaker 2>It is associated with Captain America.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, any ideas no, nothing in Captain America. Yeah, what
<v Speaker 1>type of vehicle you know it's a motorcycle.
<v Speaker 2>It's not a motorcycle, okay. In the movie, it is
<v Speaker 2>initially owned by one of the villains, but when he
<v Speaker 2>is ultimately incapacitated by one of the heroes, the hero
<v Speaker 2>takes this vehicle away from him. He is given Grace
<v Speaker 2>by another character and then, as it turns out, this
<v Speaker 2>this vehicle's name was also Grace.
<v Speaker 1>What in the world, Okay, you gotta give me. Is
<v Speaker 1>this this is outside the eighties? Obviously?
<v Speaker 2>Yes?
<v Speaker 1>Is this a Marvel vehicle? It's not a Marvel vehicle.
<v Speaker 2>This is nineties.
<v Speaker 1>This is nineties nineties, okay, Okay.
<v Speaker 2>It was put up for auction, yeah, November twenty twenty
<v Speaker 2>for sixty thousand dollars but as a reserve. But it
<v Speaker 2>did not meet the reserve, so it was a little
<v Speaker 2>bit sussy there probably work as with most movie vehicles,
<v Speaker 2>a couple of them, and it was rumored to be
<v Speaker 2>a Honda that was owned by Bruce Willis, like, I
<v Speaker 2>saw a video of that, but I don't think that
<v Speaker 2>that's right. I think this was a Harley Davidson vehicle.
<v Speaker 1>This is Z's motorcycle.
<v Speaker 2>It's not a motorcycle. It's just a chopper, baby, it's
<v Speaker 2>a chopper.
<v Speaker 1>There we go, Now, I understand. Okay, I set you up.
<v Speaker 2>For that one. Yes, And by the way, the Captain
<v Speaker 2>America that this vehicle is associated with is Peter Fonda,
<v Speaker 2>Captain America from Easy Writer, not the superhero.
<v Speaker 1>That's good. Okay.
<v Speaker 2>I was a little bit tricky on that one. Sorry
<v Speaker 2>about that.
<v Speaker 1>But that's dead baby. You threw me off the scent
<v Speaker 1>with the no motorcycle thing.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I did a good Okay, that's good.
<v Speaker 1>Number three.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's my one vehicle out of the eighties.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay, okay, good. I'm glad we established that before
<v Speaker 1>I did all my research.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, pulp fiction is the movie. If people
<v Speaker 2>aren't fully aware of this pulp fiction, and it is
<v Speaker 2>a It is the Chopper. It is Grace the Chopper, all.
<v Speaker 1>Right to my number two? Okay two, all right, D
<v Speaker 1>So this vehicle has a four point nine Leader V
<v Speaker 1>eight with a Garrett TB three ZHO five turbocharger. Two
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ten horses on this vehicle.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all ry.
<v Speaker 1>This particular vehicle was fitted with nitrous oxide. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know if you know this, but it's like a super booster, right,
<v Speaker 1>It's like.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yes, causes the vehicle go extra fast. Right. Okay.
<v Speaker 1>This is the one where I had to rein myself
<v Speaker 1>in a little bit because I wanted to get it
<v Speaker 1>in the nineteen eighties. Okay, okay, So this would technically
<v Speaker 1>be the second version of a familiar car.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, I think I have an idea.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the original price on this somewhere around the eight
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars range coming off the line in nineteen.
<v Speaker 2>Eighty okay, eighteen eighty movie, Yes, Okay, okay, I think
<v Speaker 2>I think I got it.
<v Speaker 1>As you keep going, Okay, so this is loaded with
<v Speaker 1>the CB T tops, cowboy hat and total lack of
<v Speaker 1>respect for the law are optional. The difference between this
<v Speaker 1>vehicle and the original. When you look at it, you
<v Speaker 1>can tell no snowflake wheels. It's a certain design grid
<v Speaker 1>on the wheel system that you can tell. They call
<v Speaker 1>them snowflake wheels from the original movie.
<v Speaker 2>Gosh, now I'm feeling like I don't have the right answer. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make my guess. I gotta make my guess.
<v Speaker 2>You back, all right, My guess is this is a
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventy three xbgt Ford falcon from the movie Mad Max.
<v Speaker 1>No, you're not correct. Ah, damn, you're not right.
<v Speaker 2>All right, I don't know. Keep going.
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe I didn't have you with the total
<v Speaker 1>lack of respect for the law.
<v Speaker 2>So this is a nineteen seventy six Pontiac transam used
<v Speaker 2>in the movie Smoking the Band.
<v Speaker 1>You would be correct, except this is the one from
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eighty movie. So this is from Smoking the
<v Speaker 1>Band at part two. Okay, so listen to this after
<v Speaker 1>the first movie, the Smoking the Band from nineteen seventy seven,
<v Speaker 1>which we've talked about being compared with Cannonball Run. It
<v Speaker 1>was the second biggest movie in nineteen seventy seven, behind
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry Star Wars is one that I seem to remember.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Okay, So the sales of this particular vehicle skyrocketed
<v Speaker 1>after this movie. They were so overwhelmed at Pontiac they
<v Speaker 1>actually had to push off the development of their third
<v Speaker 1>generation of this for a few years. By the way,
<v Speaker 1>there's a special Burt Reyalds version that was auctioned off
<v Speaker 1>just a few years ago with his signature on the
<v Speaker 1>love box. Three hundred and seventeen thousand dollars.
<v Speaker 2>Nice.
<v Speaker 1>Nice The nineteen eighty Pontiac Transam fire Bird Turbo from
<v Speaker 1>the movie Smoking the Bandit two. Cute, all right, because
<v Speaker 1>I stayed within the eighties.
<v Speaker 2>My when my wife and I first started dating, we
<v Speaker 2>you know, got to know each other before she ultimately
<v Speaker 2>drove over to my house in her car. Huh. When
<v Speaker 2>she drove up, it was a red Pontiac Firebird trans
<v Speaker 2>Am Transim Firebird tee tops. She gets out of the
<v Speaker 2>vehicle in her Papa John's uniform with short khaki shorts
<v Speaker 2>on and a Corona beer in her hand. And I said,
<v Speaker 2>someday I'm going to marry that.
<v Speaker 1>What we have is a total lack of respect for
<v Speaker 1>the law right there.
<v Speaker 2>You might say, You might say yeah, okay, because she
<v Speaker 2>was thirsty dummy. Okay, so we're to my number two now, right, yes, okay,
<v Speaker 2>here we go. Ready, I'm not going to talk about
<v Speaker 2>the car first. I want to talk about something else. Okay.
<v Speaker 2>Bill Paxton was offered the role as the driver of
<v Speaker 2>this car, but he turned it down and he compl
<v Speaker 2>depletely regretted it because the director never cast him in
<v Speaker 2>anything else again. Okay, so it's not a James Camera movie, okay, correct,
<v Speaker 2>all right, all right, Now, other cars in this particular
<v Speaker 2>movie all have license plates that reference other movies. I'll
<v Speaker 2>tell you the license plates. Okay, Okay. You have one
<v Speaker 2>license plate that says VCTN, you have one license plate
<v Speaker 2>that says TBC, you have one license plate that says MMOM,
<v Speaker 2>and you have one license plate that says four fbdo.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I know the movie. Now I got to figure
<v Speaker 1>out the car.
<v Speaker 2>Okay.
<v Speaker 1>So obviously those license plates are vacation and mister Mom
<v Speaker 1>and Ferris Buehler's Day Off.
<v Speaker 3>Right.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Now, this particular vehicle, its license plate was special,
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't the name of the movie. This vehicle's
<v Speaker 2>license plate was in r vous.
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about that one because that happens to be
<v Speaker 1>my number four.
<v Speaker 2>Yep. So you mentioned there were only fifty six of
<v Speaker 2>these vehicles produced. Yes, at this point in history, to
<v Speaker 2>buy one would cost you about fifteen million dollars. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>Now did you say that they sold for twelve thousand
<v Speaker 2>dollars when they.
<v Speaker 1>Firstly, when they first came out, I searched the Internet
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't believe it, and I kept searching, And
<v Speaker 1>that's in nineteen sixty one when this vehicle was released. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's the original price that I found.
<v Speaker 2>So, ladies and gentlemen, if you have not guessed it
<v Speaker 2>by now, this is the nineteen sixty one Ferrari two
<v Speaker 2>fifty GT California Spider, featured prominently Greiff Peler's Day Off. So,
<v Speaker 2>as it turns out, because these vehicles are so expensive,
<v Speaker 2>there was never actually a real nineteen sixty one Ferrari
<v Speaker 2>to fifty GT used in this movie. They had free replicas.
<v Speaker 2>They had their eurocar or driver car, right, they had
<v Speaker 2>their stunt car, and they had their fresh car. And
<v Speaker 2>by the way, Bill Paxson was offered the role not
<v Speaker 2>of Ferris Bueller, but of one of the garage attendants
<v Speaker 2>who you see driving the stunt version of this car.
<v Speaker 2>Nice that you mentioned Star Wars a moment ago, because
<v Speaker 2>what a great Star Wars reference moment in that Moss
<v Speaker 2>So funny.
<v Speaker 1>Right, when are we going to cover Ferris Bueler's day off?
<v Speaker 2>My gosh, I can't believe we've gone for four seasons
<v Speaker 2>now and have not hit it yet.
<v Speaker 1>What country do you think this is? I love that movie?
<v Speaker 1>Listen to this. So you talked about how these were
<v Speaker 1>not real Ferrari's right, right, mgs MG's right, yep. And
<v Speaker 1>so this company named Maderna Design and Development made them
<v Speaker 1>look like Ferrari nineteen sixty one GT. California Spiders, right, yep.
<v Speaker 1>Well they actually put the emblem of Ferrari on the car. Well,
<v Speaker 1>Ferrari sued this company for doing that, of course.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you get to ask permission before you do stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Real Ferrari's what are you doing?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Right?
<v Speaker 1>And so you know you talked about how movies when
<v Speaker 1>they take a car, they change them, they do all
<v Speaker 1>this weird stuff to them. Matthew Roderick could not drive
<v Speaker 1>a stick shift. Yeah, so they made the car automatic
<v Speaker 1>transmission because he couldn't drive a stick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they just put the stick in there, but it
<v Speaker 2>didn't do anything. Just he played with it like he
<v Speaker 2>was changing gears, but he was not. He did not
<v Speaker 2>know how to drive a stick. I'm wondering if that
<v Speaker 2>car crash he had in Ireland, you know, maybe he
<v Speaker 2>was trying to drive a manual transmission on.
<v Speaker 1>The rug side of the road.
<v Speaker 2>With his sister girlfriend Jennifer Craig. I know, how about
<v Speaker 2>that crazy?
<v Speaker 1>It is his love, it is his passion, it is
<v Speaker 1>his fault. He didn't lock the garage car.
<v Speaker 2>Few we're driving this car? Would you take it right
<v Speaker 2>back either?
<v Speaker 1>All he does is rub it with a diaper.
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine how much I mean that? When I
<v Speaker 2>found out that they are now selling for fifteen million dollars,
<v Speaker 2>that makes that final car crash scene a lot more impactful, Like,
<v Speaker 2>holy cow, he really is going to kill him. He's
<v Speaker 2>going to murder his child after this.
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, no, this is gonna be good, So
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take the heat.
<v Speaker 2>So the crash car had no operating engine in it, like,
<v Speaker 2>no transmission, no drive train, nothing right, it was just
<v Speaker 2>a body on a chassis and that's it right. They
<v Speaker 2>pull it out of the garage with cables as you
<v Speaker 2>see it come plummeting through the forest and down in crash. Right, yes, yes, So,
<v Speaker 2>as you mentioned, like a lot of these cars, somebody
<v Speaker 2>found this wrecked one, restored it. It sold for over
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and fifty million dollars. Excuse me, it's sold
<v Speaker 2>for over three hundred and fifty thousand dollars recently. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>which is weird because a little bit later the driver car,
<v Speaker 2>the one that was the most pristine, the most detailed,
<v Speaker 2>the best looking, one one that actually worked, it sold
<v Speaker 2>for three hundred and seventeen thousand. Somebody's like, I want
<v Speaker 2>the crashed car. I don't get it, but whatever, that's
<v Speaker 2>that's what happened.
<v Speaker 1>Who understands why people with money do these things?
<v Speaker 2>Yeap. By the way, they did such a good job
<v Speaker 2>with this that they were ferrari enthusiasts who were writing
<v Speaker 2>in going are you out of your mind? What did
<v Speaker 2>you just do? Angry letters about wrecking a car that
<v Speaker 2>was not the actual car? Okay, so we're up to
<v Speaker 2>number one. So we got to throw in our couple
<v Speaker 2>of honorable mentions here yep. Okay, so go ahead, sir.
<v Speaker 1>My first honorable mention, Yes, okay, this is a four
<v Speaker 1>wheel drive long Body Black nineteen eighty six version.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, right, we gotta be talking about a pickup
<v Speaker 2>truck here. Nope, not a pickup, not a pickup. It's
<v Speaker 2>four by four long body, and it's not a four
<v Speaker 2>wheeled Okay, okay, okay, I'm all right.
<v Speaker 1>It's got CD, CB, TV, telephone, full bar vhs. And
<v Speaker 1>if you stick around with me, I know where we
<v Speaker 1>can find some mama bears to join us in this vehicle.
<v Speaker 1>This is all familiar language, but I haven't got it yet.
<v Speaker 2>Keep going.
<v Speaker 1>This vehicle is great for working, it's great for partying,
<v Speaker 1>it's great for taking out bad guys, and it's especially
<v Speaker 1>good at thumping Christmas music.
<v Speaker 2>So this has to be the limo driven by Argyle
<v Speaker 2>in Diehard, absolutely right, thumping the run DMC right now,
<v Speaker 2>I love it.
<v Speaker 1>This is Christmas music. Such a fun one. Honor well mention.
<v Speaker 1>How can I the luxury alone full bar vhs.
<v Speaker 2>He took out theo with that car, he did, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he did well.
<v Speaker 1>Say of the day and the punch and the punch. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>that's honorable mention number one, yep, honorable mention number two. Okay, okay,
<v Speaker 1>this is without a doubt the vehicle that requires the
<v Speaker 1>most amount of security. Okay, there's a pin code that
<v Speaker 1>causes an antenna to rotate around, hidden by a fake
<v Speaker 1>tree branch and a secret door.
<v Speaker 2>I know exactly what it is. I was hoping against
<v Speaker 2>hope that this would be on your list, because it
<v Speaker 2>was real hard for me to keep it off of
<v Speaker 2>my list. Okay, this has to be the Batmobile from
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty nine's Batman. Nope, what no, All of those
<v Speaker 2>things that you said are true about the Batmobile.
<v Speaker 1>Shall I keep going? I guess so the Batmobile was
<v Speaker 1>a near miss on my list.
<v Speaker 2>What No, It can't be right that neither one of
<v Speaker 2>us have the Batmobile on our list.
<v Speaker 1>I know, right, not right, I know, some.
<v Speaker 2>Tear in the fabric of time, crazy, I know, right right? Okay, okay, wow, okay, okay,
<v Speaker 2>stay with me now, okay, okay. So this is accessorized
<v Speaker 2>with a vintage Delta rocket, a Hollywood spitfire, fender fins,
<v Speaker 2>saddle bags, compass with a lion's head on it. It's
<v Speaker 2>so beautiful when you see it, you're compelled to say,
<v Speaker 2>good morning. It's me created from an Excelsior swin. Is
<v Speaker 2>this where you deviate too hard from the list. And
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about a bicycle. Yes, are you talking about
<v Speaker 2>pee Wee Herman's bicycles?
<v Speaker 1>This pee Wee's bicycle.
<v Speaker 2>I was so close. It was so close to Tim
<v Speaker 2>Burton movies.
<v Speaker 1>I know, right, that's right.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, yeah I am. I am nowhere near
<v Speaker 2>the the pee Wee megafan that you are. So I
<v Speaker 2>did not know all of these features that are involved
<v Speaker 2>with the Peewee Herman bicycle.
<v Speaker 1>This became a deadly weapon known as the X one
<v Speaker 1>in the pee Wee movie shown at the end of
<v Speaker 1>the thing. Oh my gosh, I saw that you can
<v Speaker 1>actually purchase this excelsior swin on Facebook for around five
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars. And then you've got to buy all the
<v Speaker 1>parts and put it all together and so a guide.
<v Speaker 1>It looks great.
<v Speaker 2>I cannot believe that major list.
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe it's so good. It causes road trips.
<v Speaker 1>It causes trips to the Alamo. You gotta look in
<v Speaker 1>the basement.
<v Speaker 2>You left off the Batmobile for that?
<v Speaker 1>What did you leave Okay, well, let's hear what you
<v Speaker 1>left off the Batman before?
<v Speaker 2>All right, all right, you're ready, Here are my honorable mentions. Okay, okay,
<v Speaker 2>this vehicle is a third generation nineteen seventy four Dodge Monaco.
<v Speaker 2>Do you know it?
<v Speaker 1>No?
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think so. It is specialized. And I'll tell
<v Speaker 2>you how a little bit. This movie that it's in
<v Speaker 2>set a record for the most cars wrecked in a movie.
<v Speaker 2>It is involved in an epic chase against the American
<v Speaker 2>Socialist White People's Party, which you can say ass wipe
<v Speaker 2>for short. It's a nineteen eighty movie that actually resulted
<v Speaker 2>in Carrie Fisher getting engaged to Dan Ackroyd because he
<v Speaker 2>saved her from choking by giving her the I'm looking at.
<v Speaker 1>This has got to be Jake and Elwood Blues's police
<v Speaker 1>car from the Blues Brothers.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, nineteen eighty Blues Brothers. Fantastic.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's a good one.
<v Speaker 2>You have that epic chase and then the car does
<v Speaker 2>a full on flip through the air and they land
<v Speaker 2>and keep going.
<v Speaker 1>You know the crash scene through the mall, you know,
<v Speaker 1>I mean John Landis. We know what kind of a
<v Speaker 1>wild card he was. Who knows how many people were
<v Speaker 1>nearly killed in that car crash driving through the mall
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff.
<v Speaker 2>We love John Lennon's movies, and this is one at
<v Speaker 2>the top of the list. Absolutely, and we still haven't
<v Speaker 2>covered it either. We gotta get we gotta we gotta
<v Speaker 2>cover the big coverage.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for sure, all right.
<v Speaker 2>My second honorable mention is nineteen eighty one car. It
<v Speaker 2>was a Grand touring supercar. They were produced from nineteen
<v Speaker 2>seventy eight to nineteen ninety five. This one is the
<v Speaker 2>nine to twenty eight model. It was the first production
<v Speaker 2>that was a V eight powered model. When it first
<v Speaker 2>came out in nineteen seventy eight, it won the European
<v Speaker 2>Car of the Year. Initially, this model was intended to
<v Speaker 2>replace the nine to eleven. Got it yet?
<v Speaker 1>If not, here you go okay, wait wait wait wait
<v Speaker 1>wait you say nine to eleven, I say Porsche.
<v Speaker 2>They left the keys to the brand new Porsche Mine.
<v Speaker 2>M well, of course not. I think that line has
<v Speaker 2>to be inspired by this movie, which involved a chase.
<v Speaker 2>I told you we're gonna have stories about hookers and
<v Speaker 2>blow Yeah, you're right, chased by Lana's pimp Widow. What
<v Speaker 2>a perfect pimp name, and the plot of the movie
<v Speaker 2>The Hook involves generating enough money to pay for the
<v Speaker 2>damages to this car when it gets dropped in the lake.
<v Speaker 1>This is risky business with Tom Cruise.
<v Speaker 2>You got nineteen eighty one Porsche nine twenty eight. If
<v Speaker 2>there was for me a like there is no more
<v Speaker 2>iconic dream car of the eighties, most guys would have
<v Speaker 2>said Lamborghini. For my brother, who is my hero as
<v Speaker 2>a little kid, was always the Porsche, and so can't
<v Speaker 2>beat the Porsche.
<v Speaker 1>You know that moment in the movie when it's it's
<v Speaker 1>falling in the lake and he's panicking and trying it
<v Speaker 1>desperately to keep it out. It inspires panicing me.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Ah, it's so perfectly done because he's on
<v Speaker 2>the hood and he's doing everything. He's going push and
<v Speaker 2>it won't stop, and it won't stop, and then finally
<v Speaker 2>it just stops on the pier and then the peer falls.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that whole movie is just tense. You know.
<v Speaker 2>I kind of wondered as I was thinking about this,
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I wonder if I could do the L
<v Speaker 2>train because that was a pretty good scene too. Goals
<v Speaker 2>who goals?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Okay, all right, listen, we're onto our number one.
<v Speaker 2>We're onto our number one. I've told my hooker story.
<v Speaker 2>We got some blow coming. I feel like.
<v Speaker 3>One.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, I will be shocked if this is
<v Speaker 1>not my number one, is not your number one?
<v Speaker 2>Well, does your number one involve cocaine?
<v Speaker 1>It does not.
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, okay, well you're gonna You're gonna have to
<v Speaker 2>go then, oh okay, yeah, all right.
<v Speaker 1>So so this car prominently featured in a prominent movie,
<v Speaker 1>one of the most iconic movies of the nineteen eighties
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Yes, okay, yeah, the car actually didn't function well,
<v Speaker 1>broke down a lot, had its issues.
<v Speaker 2>We have the same car. You're just forgetting a key
<v Speaker 2>part of the story.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, now that you say that, I do remember cocaine
<v Speaker 1>being involved in Yes, okay.
<v Speaker 2>So this was I believe our second or third comparison
<v Speaker 2>that we did in the podcast, And we talked about
<v Speaker 2>the cars maker right who he had. He had started
<v Speaker 2>off working for Pontiac, working for GM, and he was
<v Speaker 2>responsible for the Pontiac Gto. He wanted to do a
<v Speaker 2>smaller car with a bigger engine to make them more powerful,
<v Speaker 2>inspired the Beach Boys, right Gto.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. He rises to prominence with GM and then develops
<v Speaker 2>a midlife crisis, divorces his wife, starts living like a
<v Speaker 2>rock star making friends with everybody and decides to start
<v Speaker 2>his own car company. Yes, my clue for you on
<v Speaker 2>this one was Johnny Carson invested five hundred thousand dollar
<v Speaker 2>in this car company whoa part of the deal was
<v Speaker 2>he gets one of the first ones that they produce,
<v Speaker 2>which he did, and it broke down on him just
<v Speaker 2>a few miles away from the lock and they said,
<v Speaker 2>no problem, sir, we have a rescue car replacement. We
<v Speaker 2>will be right out to you. They drove him the
<v Speaker 2>rescue car replacement. He switched vehicles and then that car
<v Speaker 2>broke down just a few miles. Oh way, this car
<v Speaker 2>was an absolute dud, despite the fact that it looked
<v Speaker 2>like it was going to be incredible, because it could
<v Speaker 2>not perform. It probably couldn't even get up to eighty
<v Speaker 2>eight miles an hour.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So you will recognize this car from its amazing
<v Speaker 1>goaling doors, which malfunctioned. While you're watching Back to the Future,
<v Speaker 1>when you see the door go up. They were shooting
<v Speaker 1>in California. It was cold, yep, and the gas that
<v Speaker 1>sort of projects the door up was not working properly.
<v Speaker 1>That's why Christopher Lloyd hits his head up the door
<v Speaker 1>getting out. This car was originally supposed to be a
<v Speaker 1>refrigerator in the movie, and they like the original script
<v Speaker 1>by Bob Gail and Robert Zemeckis, but then they started saying, well,
<v Speaker 1>he kind of used to get around town. Yeah, so
<v Speaker 1>let's make it a car.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, supposed to be a refrigerator involved in a nuclear explosion.
<v Speaker 2>Good thing. Nobody pursued that, ridiculous.
<v Speaker 1>Thus, oh, don't even bring that up. So remind everybody
<v Speaker 1>what the cocaine part of this story is. Oh.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so the company, his car company is failing, like flailing,
<v Speaker 2>failing bad, right, and he's been living in a rock
<v Speaker 2>star lifestyle, right, and so he decides, oh, maybe I
<v Speaker 2>can make up the difference here by selling twenty seven
<v Speaker 2>kilos of cocaine. And for those of you who are
<v Speaker 2>not from the EU or drug dealers, twenty seven kilos
<v Speaker 2>is about fifty nine pounds of cocaine.
<v Speaker 1>Wow.
<v Speaker 2>And unfortunately, the neighbor that he was talking to about
<v Speaker 2>making that little transaction also happened to be an informant
<v Speaker 2>for the FBI. He was ultimately charged in nineteen eighty
<v Speaker 2>two with this cocaine thing, but he was acquitted of
<v Speaker 2>all charges. Unfortunately, he continued to get sued by investors
<v Speaker 2>that he bilked money from fraudulent actions for the rest
<v Speaker 2>of his life, which he lived all the way up
<v Speaker 2>until two thousand and five. He died in a one
<v Speaker 2>room apartment in New Jersey. Oh way, Yeah, gosh, that's terrible. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>burnt bright at both ends.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, fifty nine pounds of cocaine. Yeah, somebody called
<v Speaker 1>Crockett and Tubs.
<v Speaker 3>Let's go.
<v Speaker 1>So here's the thing.
<v Speaker 2>Listen to this.
<v Speaker 1>Ford came to Bob Gail and said, how do we
<v Speaker 1>make it a Mustang and we'll throw in seventy five
<v Speaker 1>grand And Bob Gail said, Doc Brown is not going
<v Speaker 1>to ride an effing Mustang.
<v Speaker 2>Wow. So, if you haven't guessed yet, ladies and gentlemen,
<v Speaker 2>this is nineteen eighty five movie Back to the Future,
<v Speaker 2>and you made a time machine out of a DeLorean.
<v Speaker 1>So here's the interesting thing. I just learned this fact
<v Speaker 1>and we studied Back to the Future. Yeah, the speedometer
<v Speaker 1>that has shown in the movie is a total fake.
<v Speaker 1>Despite the speedamer shows that it can go up to
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirty five miles per hour. Yeah, they
<v Speaker 1>didn't make speedometers that showed them because it was illegal,
<v Speaker 1>and they wouldn't show it that high, right, They want
<v Speaker 1>people trying it out, you know. And the three colors
<v Speaker 1>on the time machine coordinates the green, the yellow, and
<v Speaker 1>the red. That's an homage to HG. Wells's time machine story,
<v Speaker 1>Oh Wow, where the green, the yellow, and the red
<v Speaker 1>represent different areas of time.
<v Speaker 2>Well, you mentioned earlier that there was a car for
<v Speaker 2>sale for twelve thousand dollars, and I got a little
<v Speaker 2>confused because it had to be this one right, right right,
<v Speaker 2>and like, there's no way that it's this low on
<v Speaker 2>your list. I was just wrong. Yes, but this car
<v Speaker 2>was the DeLorean DMC twelve, which was called twelve because
<v Speaker 2>it was going to sell for twelve thousand dollars, which
<v Speaker 2>is not super expensive. But when you get the fact
<v Speaker 2>that it doesn't work, like, even when it works properly,
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't live up to the promises that John Dolorian
<v Speaker 2>had made about this thing, this car would have been
<v Speaker 2>noted for its dismal failure, but for this movie. And
<v Speaker 2>now there's literally a company that will make you a
<v Speaker 2>replica time machine, Deloian, if you so choose. It's probably
<v Speaker 2>not for twelve thousand.
<v Speaker 1>Dollars though, right, right, you know who drives a DeLorean.
<v Speaker 2>Our friend Ernest Kleins.
<v Speaker 1>That's right.
<v Speaker 2>I think his like is one of the replicas. There
<v Speaker 2>were three cars, just like Feris Bugler. There were three
<v Speaker 2>cars for the movie. You had the hero car. That
<v Speaker 2>one is currently in the Peterson Automotive Museum. You had
<v Speaker 2>the stunt and wait a minute, wait.
<v Speaker 1>The Peter Museum, George Peterson, keep going.
<v Speaker 2>You had the stunt car that's the one that gets
<v Speaker 2>hit by the train. And then you have the CEA car,
<v Speaker 2>which is there the interior footage, Like all the interior
<v Speaker 2>footage is shot in a different car, right, which we
<v Speaker 2>learned that trick from Kucho. Yes, yes, And so the
<v Speaker 2>stunt car that got hit by the train. All of
<v Speaker 2>those pieces then were collected and people would make replicas
<v Speaker 2>just using one piece or so of the car so
<v Speaker 2>that they could say, hey, some of this was in
<v Speaker 2>the original movie. Yep. Some of it ended up on
<v Speaker 2>the ceiling of the planet Hollywood and Hawaii was there
<v Speaker 2>until that place closed down.
<v Speaker 3>Wow.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I just watched an episode of a
<v Speaker 1>TV show called Expedition Unknown.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Love the show. It's so much fun and the host
<v Speaker 1>Josh Gates. He traveled around, went to all the restored
<v Speaker 1>Doloreans and found him, and you can see him. It's
<v Speaker 1>pretty coold.
<v Speaker 2>As you mentioned with one of the other cars. This
<v Speaker 2>car as well. In twenty twenty one was added to
<v Speaker 2>the Library of Congress National Historic Vehicle Register, which never
<v Speaker 2>would have happened but for the movie. I think about
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Carson in that car, and I think, huh, most
<v Speaker 2>accurate scene in the movie is just before the lightning
<v Speaker 2>strike when the car would starts. Yes, maybe Johnny Carson
<v Speaker 2>should have slammed his head against this serio.
<v Speaker 1>That's good, Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
<v Speaker 2>That's it. We landed. We both landed on what is
<v Speaker 2>probably the most iconic except for the Batmobile, which I
<v Speaker 2>still can't fathom how neither one of ushi on the list.
<v Speaker 2>That's not We're going to have to make up for
<v Speaker 2>that somewhere. We just apologize and I don't know, we'll
<v Speaker 2>talk about it later, right, Other than the Batmobile, we
<v Speaker 2>realized we missed it on that one. Tell us what
