What's your fav movie with a Cobra!
Has anyone seen The Killers, (1964) with Ronald Reagan? It has a great scene with Cobras on the track. Does anyone know of any other great scenes from movies with Cobras in? What are your favorites guys???

Spin Out

GUM BALL

Hollywood Knights had a silver one with 'chinese bandits' beating up on Tony Danza in the PHR magazines Project-X '57 chev.

Movies
I have a documentary interview of Ken Miles at Riverside. He takes a passenger with an in car camera, sound and all for some quick laps in a 289 Comp Car.

Gumball Rally. Best scene is in the concrete bottom of the LA River with the Cobra head to head with the Ferarri....at speed. The Ferarri was badly out classed, but they made it look like a contest.
I have it on video tape and am looking for DVD. Al |
I am with Speed Demon, Spin Out is a classic movie staring Elvis who races a Cobra.
|
Another vote for Hollywood Knights. Great scenes of Cobra street racing as mentioned as well as Michelle Pheiffer, aged about 19 I'd guess, in one of her first movies. I don't know how it gets any better than that. On top of that it's one of the funniest movies of all time and a great all-around car flick. It's so good that women who watch it can't understand why men think it's worth watching. That's probably due to some of the best fart humor ever filmed. Don't miss it!

Ken Miles
If any of you want to hear Ken Miles(possibly the only speaking video of Ken) and watch him drive a 289 Comp Car from the cockpit sound and all, you can buy the film at www.carfilms.com
It is "Wondeful World of Wheels" |
Hollywood Knights!!! Filmed on Van Nuys Boulevard, at a specially-constructed set of a drive-up restaurant. We would cruise "Vannuys" every Wednesday night, and we saw them build the "Tubby's Drive-In" and we thought how neat it was to get a new hangout on our cruise strip. I remember one of the main characters was named ...................."NEWBOMB TURK".....!!!!! When the movie opened in theaters, in the lobby was a display for the movie, and some flyers which said, basically, "That the recipient of this flyer is now in possession of membership in the "Hollywood Knights" Car Club ". I still have about 20 of those flyers!!!

How about REDLINE 8000 and VIVA LAS VEGAS, both a cameo of a Daytona Coupe. Had to be a real one back then.

I like "The Killers" John Cassavettes was a great actor and Ronald Reagan an excellent baddie. I might have said this before but in the early scenes at Riverside you can see Pete Brock as a mechanic. Also Brocks Ford Falcon van?

just watched Gumball while on the treadmill, had not watched it for a year or so. What i enjoyed the most were the scenes of the two Snake Drivers just driving, windblown hair, sunglasses, squint, resolute, determined grin, sunburnt, just man and machine.
I greatly enjoy long trips in my car, and watching these two actors looking out thru their windscreen just brought back so many great memories of my own road trips in my beloved SPF. I am off this coming weekend, Wife is away back in Kansas with the grandkids, leaving me to plan some sort of road trip. The weather looks to be fabulous, warm and sunny (although snowing out now!!) and i am contemplating whether to head south, or perhaps something more adventuresome, say to DC and Back on Sat. I would rather be out on the road in my SPF than doing just about anything else, best of all, when Chris (son) and i can do it together. But Gumball shows the satisfaction best to me. |
Okay, Holleywood nights ( spelling )
AND Romancing the stone. Had a cute Cobra at the beginning of the movie. There was a movie where a guy is making a run for it in a cobra, can't remember the name. Oh well, age is setting in. |
Hal,
You could always head to Charleston for some seafood and I could get my first ride in a Cobra :3DSMILE: . landerson (Lane Anderson - Cobra wannabee) |
Bad boys, I think its an FFR, that gets destroyed after the chase with the 911 turbo. :(
|
Riddle me this...remember this was in the 60's. In Viva Las Vegas one of the opening scenes in the middle of the movie shows a close up of a Cobra nose. You can see the old style Cobra emblem but there is a piece of electrical tape over the name Cobra......wonder why...did Shelby want royalites even back then or what? Never could figure that one out.

Cmon, hands down it's Gumball Rally. Remember the garage prep scene in New York where the 427 gets revved up? The final race down the streets AFTER the riverbed scene to the Queen Mary? Michael Sarrazin and Nicholas Pryor in the blue 427 (actually 2 different 427's, see the article in a past issue of The Marque, the early title of the SAAC magazine) vs. Raul Julia and Tim McIntire in the red Ferrari. A modern classic which I have on VHS and am hoping will be released on DVD.

The Gumball Rally gets my vote, as it is the only movie filmed at actual speeds(yes, actual speeds), and mostly on location (roughly 80% of the film was shot on actual location, and not a a hollywood film set) across the USA.

Hhhhhmmmmm, this would be a neat trick considering FFR's first kit did not come out until 1995, and the movie was shot in early 1994.....I believe this car to be a west coast cobra, or an early EM....
