There was a movie I saw in the late 70's, it featured funny car racing.
Besides it being the first time I saw boobies in a movie:jawdrop: :D
I remember the guy's stealing the funny car from a carshow and driving it down the street. A funny scene when he left two guys sitting at a red light in the other lane, blasting down the road in the flopper.
Can you name that one?:D

My mom took me to see Easy Rider the same year, pretty sure she didn't read the reviews before we went.......:D :D

I own Funny Car Summer and Vanising point, and I don't remeber the funny car on the street scene in either one. The naked chick on the bike is from Vanishing point though.:D

A little off topic....
How do you know if you're watching 70's porn?
If the dick has sideburns, it's prob 70's porn.

Vanishing Point, Gone in sixty seconds, American graffiti. Saw them all before I was 10. My parents wonder why I piss away so much money on V8 powered toys.:) :)

Ok here is a question I have asked before, with no answer. Back around 1980 there was a movie about some diamond thiefs, and during the get away scene there was a great boat chase with a small jet boat, racing thru the waterways of Rome? The movie was sponsored by Thunderbird/Formula, and they had some old tri hull thunderbirds, as well as this jet boat.
The jet boat looked like the proto type for Formula's 16' formula one boat the produced in the early 80's
During the chase the jet boat was sinking the other boats with it's spray, and knocking over cops on the bridge with the spray as it passed under the low bridges.
This has been bugging me for over 20 years now, so any help to the title of the movie would be great.

Dunno that. Was it Venice? There was a newer Bond movie with him in a small jet.
Remember Stroker Ace?
