I remember going to the drive-in in Dallas when i was 4 and 5 yrs old back in 1964 and 1965 when my parents were still married. My favorite part was when the first movie was over and the screen's lights came on and then the intermission films came on. I loved the lights and the intermission clips. Still do to this day but only watching intermission on CZcams. Haven't been to the drive-in theatre closest to me yet.
Why does the pizza shown before that look more, Burnt and Crunchy? Not the one in Quad-vision being cut, but immediately after, like when you leave a totinos in an oven for... 30 minutes maybe?
@@squashpants Yes, that's from this being a butchered patchwork of different clips and random soundtracks. My personal print is complete and even mentions "famous brands of cigarettes".
The Optigan was a high-faluting fancy-pants organ basically, that, if I am observing correctly, had a built-in electronic drum-kit, and the usual bass pedals that came on standard organs.
I don’t think the optigan has bass pedals, and the electronic drum kit are from the little “special effect” levers, usually they are included in the disc, not the optigan itself. One disc could have a latin-based drum rhythm while the other could have a bass-n-drum rhythm
Also the optigan includes 23 buttons for chords corresponding to a note “C maj, min”. There was also 3 diminished chords that takes up 9 chord buttons, including two of the 8 major chord buttons.
Mom bought an Optigon when they were new, UNfortunately she sold it years ago. The PEDA was the volume control. All optically controlled, by a sliding piece of film that varied in darkness. The music was simply a loop of seneral sounds that repeated over and over, The buttons selected which Loop you wanted, Each loop was chord of instruments. Every sound was contained on the large LP sized transparency you slid into a slot, then it was rotated at speed. You can vary the speed to make a fast or slow tempo. YES as kids we'd put the disc in upside down to play the loops backwards. There were absolutely NO electronic "Drum Kits" inside, it was all optical recordings on a disc. The other switched controlled the LOOPS for precussion or beats. Each disc was themed, so you can have pop loops, latin, waltz, and many others.
Nice! I wish mom didn't sell ours. She bought all kinds of discs for it. And the service guy was out all the time to fix it. Broken vol control pedal etc. Cool and unusual thing for sure. Would like to have it just for the novelty, the sound quaity was cheesy, part of the uniqueness!
The RM logo at the bottom the popcorn buckets and drink cups stood for Redstone Management (National Amusements/Showcase Cinemas), and you can also tell it's from Redstone if you look closely at the food wrappers for the hamburgers and hotdogs, along with the slogan "America's Most Modern Theatres". And it's likely that the Optigan intermission clock was supplied through Pike Productions Inc. of Boston.
@@pegbars OK, but is there any evidence of the Sun Film Co. (R&L Film Lab, H&H Film Lab) of Tampa, Florida? Have they ever been mentioned on Boxoffice magazine?
@@nixwerld3831 Yes, they were. I was working in theatres when this came out and our circuit bought prints for all their drive-ins. Sorry, I don't know where I got R&L... it was H&H. I corrected my earlier post.
Huh, seeing 70s 80s intermission tapes are vastly different from the 50s 60s versions of it. When I think of drive-ins, I think of the 50s 60s advertisements, not so much the 70s 80s ones. Strange.
OMG... this seems like a way to "drive" people mad in their cars while they wait. The music is great, but the non-stop interruptions, ads, and bells and attempts to make concession stand sales is crazy obnoxious. Optigan vibes are awesome though.
a piano/organ thing that was sold by mattel in the 70s that used little optical discs to play back different tracks in different styles depending on the theme of the disc. Its what is making the music
@@lauradaly8020 So did I, I saw both movies together in 1977 at the South Bay Cinema; and a woman behind kept talking in a low voice - during the scene when the five families were sitting around that big table - she was saying , "And that's why ..." and I couldn't make out what she was saying! Did you read the novel too? When Connie calls home, Sonny answers it and he's very upset - the novel said she was telling him she wants Tom - put Tom on the phone, she wants Tom to bring the car and bring her home, says nothing about Carlo beating her, but Sonny storms out anyway ...
@@luisreyes1963 I wish I saw "The Sunshine Boys "then, but yes, we saw "The Poseidon Adventure" at Roadium Drive-In ; do you know how many people survived at the end?
THE DRIVE-IN THEATRE PRESERVATION SOCIETY. We're bringin' 'em back!
The Vintage Drive-in in Avon, NY still shows this in between movies
Along with cartoons in the middle.
you didn't have much choice but to visit the refreshment stand with this playing for 10 minutes
schmoo Actually, what are the cup covers from?
Oh, my!!!
Im 67 and I got to tell you it was a simpler and better time.
2:11 That pizza honestly looks inedibly burnt! XD
WHY DID THEY LEAVE THAT IN HOLY
Hilarious and such fond memories of my hubby and my first dates in Michigan in the 1970's. :-)

I really miss going to the Drive In movies. I’d be going tonight, if we had one. 😢
Sweet-sweet memories are made of this!!!
Those hippy lights make you dizzy. I wonder if they're trying to hypmotize the populace into getting delicious refreshments at the concession stand?
*hypnotize
Still show this on occasion .
I remember some indoor theaters here played that psychedelic stuff before movies too.
I’ve never been to a drive-in movie, but I have seen them while we were on the road.
Wow and Flutter are my gurus!
Sweet intermission!
Absolutely amazing, and top quality!!
groovy
Our refreshment stand has these delicious favorites:
-Hot and crispy pizzas
-
-
One of them was “Giant sized ice cream sandwiches.”
Yes, this always cracks me up. What happened to the intoning of the names of the other snacks?

@@captainantilles9094 Yup they all were really selectors to which loop you wanted. Press them all down for a weird sound :)
@@watcher818 Thanks! Extremely informative.
Thanks for the cleaned up version of this optician intermission movie. One of my favorites!
But can you tell me the names of the songs in this?
Wonderful drive-in movie theater ads & intermissions!!! Hallelujah, baby!!!
@@plushblueep Pretty sure they were just creative compositions made specifically for this. I could be wrong though.
Awesome 👻
Interesting.
I own an optigan!

Good inspection
Hi, Nix! That's a good guess. It was actually made by Sun Film (H&H Film Lab) of Tampa, FL. Originally made for Redstone in a 15-minute version.

I bet it was fun being high on weed back in the 70s… ☮🔥
There is much more to life than being a dope head.
pegbars nobody said anything about being a dope head
@@pegbars Like all those tasty treats
1:55 -- it looks so sad after just seeing all the good looking food :(
I mean, it does look lonely

The countdown background noise sounds like Mario collecting coins.
2:09 BARF!!!!!
Whoa! What did they use to cook that pizza? A cyclotron? 😝
Don't care for candy, eh, Dude?
That pizza still looks awful, even in HD
It looks like the pizza was over cooked.
They don't make drive-in movies like that anymore.
looks psycheldelic
Intermission with Jeff Bergman
(Boomerang/Warner Peppa Drive In Theater) (2013-2024)
I remember these from the 70’s and how gross that pizza looks🤣
That church reminds me of the chapel for the First Presbyterian Church of Visalia.
I want carni food now.
Where did you get this?
8:53 LAST CALL
Red Projector with Two Mice
Mmmmmm, burnt pizza.
My late father used to like his pizza well-done.
I'm pretty sure that was meat on the pizza.
@@kadenvanciel9335 Yes, but he still liked it well done.
@@kadenvanciel9335 I'm going with burnt pizza.
some of the songs you hear are made by the optigan
Some of these songs, I actually wish were on iTunes.
@@DTD110865 You can kind of recreate them using the iOptigan on the iOs
Rest in the good news 💐🌑👍 Okay bye
This is butchered beyond recognition. The segments from 1:03 to 2:30 even have the wrong soundtrack.
I agree. Even I noticed that the audios are not lining up with the proper ads.
OMG... this seems like a way to "drive" people mad in their cars while they wait. The music is great, but the non-stop interruptions, ads, and bells and attempts to make concession stand sales is crazy obnoxious. Optigan vibes are awesome though.
Any Brutalmoose viewers here? :)
Wait, he used this in one of his videos? I love him even more now.
@@RQBtv ❤️❤️❤️
Optigan? Whats that?

One of the worst and creepiest and boringest intermissions I've ever seen. I grew up on these. Wow. This harkens in the empty 70s
Not all of the movies from the 70's were bad. The French Connection, The Exorcist, Jaws, Star Wars, Alien, Superman, just to name a few.
I saw both The Godfather and The Godfather Part 2 at a drive-in Florida.
I watched this again and while it really is 70s schlock tech horrendous I still strangely like it overall and it has historical value.
