Old TV movies were the best. Loved being a child of the 70s and a teen in the 80s. Best combo. I don't like being in my 50s in 2023, though. 😢
Same here. 😝
I grew up then also, and maybe at the time they seemed OK, but old TV movies were awful.
54 here, me neither I don't even watch TV anymore, haven't even owned a TV in the last 10+ years!
How are you? 50's is okay.
Growing old sucks. I'm with you, man
I think I enjoy watching the original commercials bringing back memories even more than the movies.
It's a blast to watch again. We were so blessed to grow up then. I feel terrible for the current generation. The world has gone to hell in a hand basket!
Same here. I had my back turned, waiting for the movie intro music and such, and found myself saying the closing lines from commercials right along with them. 🤣
@@mrsignguy1000 totally - what made us think it would all last forever- the music , movies , tv. 😢❤
Me too
Me to this Realy Brings me Back.i Remember these Tues Nite movies
Man, how those commercials take me back. Truly an entirely different era.
I'm from the UK so while not familiar to me seeing these very 70s and 80s idents, adverts and intros is so very cool!
A BETTER ERA.
So true!
The opening of the CBS movie. What a flood of memories that came rushing back. Sitting in the floor of our living room, with mother and dad sitting on the couch. All of us watching the tv. And I was dad’s remote control. Lol. How I miss these simpler times. Happier times.
I wish we can bring back the good old days of yesteryear.
I'm 54yrs old and I really enjoy watching these movies 🎥
Thanks for sharing them💞
What did she do? She couldn't have jumped out of her car, because there wasn't a scratch on her. Please, do you know❓
@@rachelgarcia4301 ….There is no explaining the lack of continuity or sense in 1970’s made for TV movies. They are crap, made by people who were probably high the whole time and assumed audiences were stupid and wouldn’t even notice the problems.
@@mercoid thank you. Good night.
Me too!😊
1979 I was 19, it's funny these shows give me a kind of comfort, 44 years later, surprised I'm still here.
I think I'll fire up my old Chevy van up tonight, roll all the windows down , crank up some Waylon Jennings music , and cruise the highways🤣🥰
"It's 8:00. Have your children done their homework?" Wow, back when they used to give a shit.
You mean back when Boomers didn't realize they had kids.
The razor commercial "GOTCHA" brought me back to 9 years old. I love CZcams you are my time traveling machine. With you I can go anywhere I want.
Because of this movie, I purchased a Datsun 280Z. I just loved that 160 MPH odometer!
Speedometer
My friend gave me a ride in a 280Z and it was fast! I loved that car.
The way the van flies up in the air reminds me of the ending to the movie "The Car" which was released two years before this. Would love to see the Fiddler's Dodge Van, The Car, and the tanker truck from "Duel" all in the same movie.
And maybe the posessed Bulldozer from Killdozer and of course Christine.
Yes!
@@victorvance2573 Why not adding Herbie the love Bug in the mix while we're at it? 😛
dont forget the tv rehash "gladiator" with the first all-blacked out 69 charger czcams.com/video/MVtQeN4jDP0/video.html
@@Densaku, Herbie would save drivers from Christine and the Duel truck :) Good vs Evil...
The last time I heard the sounds of some of those ads was almost 45 years ago - the flashbacks gave me the chills.
When you're first two victims are Morgan Britainy and Dina Shore, with Shelly Hack, George Hamilton, Barbara Rush, and Peter Graves kicking it off, you got me hooked. Truly scary, great cast.
Mark Elliott said on a podcast that his first audition to voice a CBS promo was for this movie. He thought it sounded ridiculous and did a ridiculously over-the-top read. The network said it was exactly what they wanted, and that started his long relationship with CBS.
I remember all these commercials watching TV as a kid. I'll always love these old movies. Ty for posting.
These movies aren't "old"--you're just way too immature.
At 4:30 she asks how far she goes with a one fifty in money for gas ???
Man, even decades later those car scenes are truly frightening. My compliments to the stunt team.
Courtesy of Hal Needham et al, who later went on to do the Cannonball Run movies. Think he even made a cameo as the defensive driving instructor in this.
@@PersonaIncognito Ah cool, thanks!
@@PersonaIncognitoand one of this movie's cast Alfie Wise, was in both a Smokey and the Bandit and a Cannonball Run movie.
Edit: Tara Buckman was also in the first Cannonball movie
Just hearing the Opening Theme Song, and watching the Commercials, is enough to warm our heart and soul with pure Nostalgia.
I offer my appreciation for this Channel, as Today's World is so insanely horrific In Media AND In Reality. Thank you for keeping many Good Memories Alive & Well!
Thank GOD for our Past Memories.
Thank GOD for HIS Constant Presence
And HIS Promised Future💜
The music here is the most hack stuff imaginable. It's not worth copyrighting--I hope they didn't spend a dime for that.
@@Pimp-Master - Interesting choice of words, given that the star of this was named Hack . . .
Just a thought today will son be the good old days to our children
Surprisingly good TV movie that's aged remarkably well.
😊duel ripoff
This movie is so relevant to 2023 that my skin crawls. I had the same incident happen to me a few years back. While staying under the speed limit, I carefully overtook a driver who was driving like a snail. He turned into a monster. He chased me and got out of his car at traffic lights and tried to beat me up. He did this repeatedly. Meanwhile his very young daughter in his car was screaming in fear. I managed to lose him by driving like Evil Knievel. Now i lock all my car doors and thank God I learnt defensive driving in country Australia. .
Was that you? And that wasn’t my daughter, if you know what I mean…..WINK WINK
So sorry, truly scary. I'm a great driver and this movie is still terrifying. The better driver could kill us, if skill fails. Thank God you had skills. Great cast, great movie.
Brings back so many memories my daddy was still alive miss you daddy💔🥲
Aww. Mine too.
@@liyaberi Sorry for the loss of your father, may he RIP ❤️
@Cheryl McMillian Sorry for the loss of your father, may he RIP ❤️.
@@thisisme3238 thank you. 🙏
Sorry Cheryl. I lost my mom and dad but I remember shows I watched with them. It’s good we have so many memories. Peace ❤️.
My parents still have one of those Zenith TVs that are like a piece of furniture. LOL
Looks like one of those on shango066
Great Movie! God I use to love the theme song to these CBS movies. Everything from Duel 1971 to Salem's Lot 1979.
Ah... The 1970s... Where every vehicle always exploded, no matter how lightly it got hit!
Wow! I didn't know freeways had ramp-metering signals all the way back in 1979!
Ford Pinto!
ha well that's california....they probably started it.
I don't remember those, either but then again I was only 10 at the time, and grew up in a small town, besides.
This is the time machine I need, now if I could just actually transport back to this period and participate again instead of just watching and reminiscing. That would be the cat's pajamas!
Abe Vigota , what an actor. 😆 Sid Haig is a bonus as well.
Great notalgia and complete with period adverts. It's like being back in the late 70s.
I was born in the 80s. Those ads really surprised me
Anyone who is familiar with 1970's tv will recognize a lot of faces in this movie.
Especially Shelley Hack from the Charlie's perfume commercials to Charlie's Angels tv series.
I recognized "Fish", from "Barney Miller"
The lady in the car that was dragged is Dr. Loomis' nurse from Halloween....
Its 10 O Clock, do you know where your children are? Ah the memories.
This brings back alot of memories from my childhood 😊
The commercials are the best 🥰🥰
We will sell no wine, before it's time!
I agree!
That stretch of the 210 fwy was really popular in the '70s with shows like CHiPs, and movies like this one and Smash-Up on Interstate 5.
This is one of those we had to go to bed at the next commercial break, when I was 5 years old ...
I always pretended to fall asleep on the couch and would look through my blanket. Then my dad would carry me to bed, and I was awake. He never knew. 😂
Thank you for uploading this in the proper 1.33 aspect ratio with pillar boxes instead of stretching it or zooming and cropping.
Wouldn't have it any other way. 4x3 needs to stay in 4x3.
A great late 70's made for TV movie. Great plot, that hooks the viewer from the beginning. And has great cast, especially the lovely Shelley Hack. Worth watching!!
Definitely agree! 👍😎
Yes, this is what I mean great for television especially at night because I remember watching this movie back on WGBS Philly 57 during the time when the Netwerk used to have the 8 o’clock movie because I remembered watching this very extremely powerful dodge van from the 70s catching up with the small vehicles and destroying them, killing some of the people in their cars especially with young women and I remember seeing the guy changing the paint job every time he commit his crimes on the freeway.
Shelly Hack should have had the spaces between her teeth fixed! It looks very unattractive!
Perfect casting.
Shelley Hack Love Her
Directed by Hal Needam.
They’ll be some good stunts. For sure. And no CGI
Hal Needham's best friend was Burt Reynolds.
Those 8track tape days 1979
Oh, man... just watching the opening that CBS made for their Tuesday night movie presentations is just exciting enough for me to see again! Can't wait to see what commercials were slotted between the sections of the film.
It's easy to float back in time to '79 (8th grade) with that intro the commercials. I miss those days.
I never tired of watching this movie. One of the best made for TV movies of the '70s ever
This movie reminded me of Duel and Night Territor two of the best movies I seen in years
It's a lightweight rip off of "Duel"-- the great Spielberg film from '71.
@@Pimp-Master Most movies are just retold stories.
Thanks for upload! Saw this first aired in '79...I must've been 13! Loved CHiPs as well, kind of a stunt nerd from all these flicks! Scary how door flew off '68 Fairlane in hard skid, you can see it, then it's aftermath shown in random victims montage.....the cars were fitted for safety naturally, but considering today's crush zones and tire improvements, along with belt and airbags.....stunt people had sheer courage manhandling those older vehicles! I still would rather see true performers over CGI any day.....
Loved the movie and the commercials were great! Especially the one that reminds parents to parent their children. LOL It's 8 o'clock, have your kids done their homework?
When reality mattered not stupid unimportant thing's like today ❤😮
Aaaaah the good ol' days....
When you saw the CBS movie intro come on TV you know that they were going to show a good movie. Every Tuesday Night. Antenna TV. Where have the times gone?
This is by FAR one of the best uploads! I've watched this on and off for nearly two years.
Thank you so much for uploading so many great memories for so many people.
I think I actually enjoyed the commercials just as much as the flick. I was finishing their slogans and grinning from ear to ear! 😁😁😁
Beautiful days
I love this film and everything about the 70s. This is the second time I've seen it and forgot the name but found it again
Kinda cool to see the 45 year old commercials lol. I didn't even skip through them.... Thanks for leaving them in there. So much better than today's commercials. And so much less intrusive.
They made, me mad!!! 'Cause it was before life, got expensive, lol. Maybe a bit jealous, too😏.
Well, this was right after the Carter era inflation which was pretty terrible too, so I'm sure that the people back then weren't too happy with those prices haha.@@rogerrendzak8055
Wow, that intro takes me back!
Me too! This was how I knew a movie was to begin!
The License Plate 247-PCE was used in CHiPs on the Blue Pontiac Trans Am ponch owned after owning the Gold Camaro.
I love these old movies. Thanx for sharing.
Duel from 1971 is better than this 😊
MAN!!!!...that theme song bring back so many memories of the 70's.
Cool to see Sid Haig in this! Fun cheesy tv grindhouse with the old commercials. Good stuff. The CBS Tuesday Night Movies logo and song brings back memories....
I believe Sid Haig appeared as motorcycle bandit in The A-Team episode, "Black Day at Bad Rock"!!!
We owned this on VHS in the UK.
The memory of the van and screeching fiddle is always with me.
Edit: as a kid I never knew this was an allegory of rape, or the other social commentary included in this film.
I Love the integrity of reporting (and the honesty and independence of the main character) in this movie -
Thanks for sharing this necessary & relevant movie, which also feels "fuzzy" to me since I must have seen it and the quirky commercials, but I can't Fully remember :) !!!
When the guy in the truck pushed in the yellow 8-track, I was expecting to hear K C and the Sunshine Band!
lol lol lol
Cars that really explode ! Better than cgi
The carnage created from old movies and TV shows was truly epic.
Cars, buildings, bridges, mountains, etc., I miss the days when had to build physical models just to destroy them! 😁
Thank you for this upload. I share many sentiments from the comments of those who were teens in the 1970s & 1980s. This movie premiered on September 25, 1979. I watched it as it aired. I was 16 and going on 17 that December. Continue to live it up and enjoy the TV programs. Creative art never get's old. Past or present. The Museum, once again, thank you for the upload.
Today's lesson kids. Never fiddle when you drive, one hand on steering wheel and one on ya 👃 ain't safe !
I LOVE THESE VINTAGE TV MOVIES, , I WOULD RATHER WATCH THESE TV MOVIES THEN A BIG BUGET HOLLYWOOD MOVIE WITH ALL THAT NEW COMPUTER CRAP THEY PUT IN THEM THESE DAYS PLUS ALL THE GRAT ADDS
THANKS YOU LINDA SYDNEY
A creeper death van and Peter Graves "Biography" ... Oooo this is gonna be good!
Hello 70’s/80’s. Thanks for the memories. These commercial’s….👍🏻
I had seen this movie a longgg time ago but forgot the name. ABSOLUTELY GREAT movie. I bore easily but this keeps you interesting and excited.
2:41 orson welles had a badass voice ... bet you he charmed many women using his voice
I remember Frank Gorshin's impersonation of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas on the Ed Sullivan show were absolutely incredible. He was severely underutilized by Hollywood, his range was never truly flexed where it should have been.
He was in an episode of Charlie’s Angels called Angels At Sea.
Shouldn’t it be Death Van On The Freeway??
Morgan Brittany!
LOVE the cast listing at the beginning...it's like everyone who didn't get on Love Boat that week. Totally odd that there was no music at the start of the movie---cheapo!
No music was cool and different; more menacing somehow.
No music @ the beginning was different, I noticed that too.
The 8-Track is a nice touch.
I remember watching this! I also remember that stinking carpet cleaner! My wife decided to use it because we had a dog and we both smoked. It made the whole house smell like putrid flowers! More vacuuming without it still wouldn't get rid of the smell. I finally had to call someone to steam clean the carpet to get the smell out. But, the first time she used the vacuum again we could smell it. Even after several cleanings we just couldn't get rid of that smell. I ended up having to buy another vacuum! I don't know if that stuff is still around, but NEVER use the stuff you sprinkle on your carpet to clean it! It doesn't get rid of any smells, it just covers them up with an even worse smell!
I remember a 1979 commercial: "Ram power." "Dodge gives you ram power." "Dodge trucks are ram tough."
What about the Dodge Tradesman 200 van driven by the Freeway Fiddler? Did it give you ram power? Was it ram tough?
My late uncle used to drive one of those Dodge Tradesman 200 vans- his was blue!!!
I Remember This Movie Love Shelley Hack
She's a hack
@@frankpontone2139.. Shes accomplished more than you ever will. Lmao
@@Biden_Cult_Morons Not true. I just got my GED and I'm going places. You'll see.
Can't hear Peter Graves voice without laughing. 'Airport' made him sound like a goof forever.
Peter Graves wasn't in Airport. You mean Airplane.
Exactly! Those comedies were parodying these tough man roles that he was known for.
One of my all-time favorites. I remember seeing it in the theaters when I was about 9 years old.
No no no...mission impossible is it for the voice 😊
Came across this movie on Wikipedia....thought it would be on CZcams....even though I live in the UK and Don't remember any of the commercials, for some reason I still enjoyed watching them 😂🇬🇧
This movie aired in every Canadian province, except in Saskatchewan on the night of it's premiere.
I really enjoyed this old movie...thanks much👌
Terrifying! The drivers were lucky to avoid all the Pintos, Mustang IIs, and Gremlin firebombs on the road. And in California, there were always weirdos with ramps on their cars that gave Ponch fits...
😊
Very Good Movie Enjoyed and Tnx for uploading
Oh my God! Another great find! I was a freshman in college on this night!!!!
I remember watching this movie when I was 10 years old!
Morgan Brittany. 😍
She played a great nutcase in ‘Dallas.’ One of its best villains.
She played an evil little girl in the Twilight Zone episode "Cesar and Me".
@@lincbond442 she was in 3 separate episodes, but I do remember her in 2 episodes, Caesar & Me’ & ‘Nightmare As A Child’.
Her character in Dallas died behind the wheel, too, lol. She was the one who drove fast in a big boat car and ran Bobby over and “killed him” for that season which was all a dream.
@@Mister_Listener while wearing a blond wig that Pam’s gardener felt the need to pull off 😆
@@MMAfighter38113 haha. Yes. I remember seeing that episode when it first ran as a kid. Donna Reed was Miss Ellie, too, i think. Ha.
looks like a great cast of characters, these commercials are classic, so funny, 1987 i had a 1979 240z it was a fast car for sure
The 2 freeway! Yay. I drive this every day, lol.
This was a very good movie. Sadly they do not make them like that anymore.
Thank you for bringing back so many good memories. 1.50 worth of gas won't get you to the corner these days.
It was $.49 a gallon. I remember paying around $.89 per gallon, in High school, in the late 80s.
Barely readable in the scene was a price of 63.9 a gallon. Fuel would have been more expensive in California. This must have been filmed before the Iranian pseudo crisis.
1.50 will get you to the next pump...
Thanks for the Upload 👍!! Loved Morgan Brittany on Dallas from 1981-87 . "A wild animal after me" !! XD My sides.. XD
Lol really I like she is saying she's taking precautions right when you answer and open up the freaking door after someone that you can't or at the time don't know who it is and you're also coming in late night freaking out about a car or a vehicle sitting out front with a guy smoking cigarettes if you're taking precautions you sure as hell wouldn't be doing that
I love this movie please show it again soon thanks
I remember this movie when it first came out in 79 .
Pure nostalgia.
ive been racking my brain about this. i love this been searching for this my whole life
Oh wow. I actually remember watching this as a kid.
Is there anybody reading these comments back on CZcams because that is one hot ass 1970s era dodge van there because I’ve watched this movie back in the 80s when WGBS Philly 57 used to have those nighttime movies every night at 8 o’clock because I remember watching this movie which featured someone driving a multicolored van with tinted glass running people off the roads killing them especially with young women and I think somewhere at the end of the movie one female driver fought back and destroyed the vehicle killing the driver inside, even though the van went through a number of color changes but it was defeated because you know why, why because that is one hot ass 1970s era dodge van out there, very powerful.
Well because you know why because it was just because of the hot van because it was just because exactly because like everything about because and then because oh yeah you know it was because !!! Hot bad van because
Anybody else notice one of the dudes at the car club matched the exact description of The Fiddler ?
Morgan Brittany: How far can I go on $1.50s worth?
Attendant: 2 blocks or until you meet the death car.
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 i just subscribed thankyou for these kind of movies. Not the same now i prefer this era of when movies were made. Sending big thankyou hugs 🤗
The upcoming contact with the ground is going to be catastrophic. 01:55:09 Just absolutely catastrophic. Look at the velocity. Look at the huge height and consider the acceleration due to gravity. Also, it certainly does not help matters that the vehicle is already completely engulfed in massive flames. When impact occurs, the already severely stressed frame of the vehicle is going to be subjected to staggering metal shearing forces that will rip the vehicle apart, leaving it shattered beyond belief and unrecognizable.
Duel 1971 Denis Weaver
Thanks for posting -- really enjoyed this! The commercials were Great!
As always, as a tire rolls away, it usually says, "I'm not feeling too well, i'm gonna roll off the road now."
Really a great 👍 late 70s movie I watched as a growing child.
This movie made a great impression on my young mind, especially in the areas of trying as much to stay alive through a deliberate life saving defensive efforts and activities.
DEATH ON THE FREEWAY is a movie which highlighted to a great extent the need for driving to ward of criminals and rogues. Then again, driving to defend your life against assassin and murderous drivers.
"DEFENSIVE DRIVING" is one term, -very new to me then-, that resonated within me from thence forth till this age. I'm 55yrs of age today by the way, and as I drive today, I never for once lost the consciousness of driving to stay alive. That was my take away from the movie, as at that young age of mine then.
Well, It's a great delight to know that great and entertaining titles like this could also be a great and life long teacher and educational factor.
Thanks 🙏 indeed for the REKINDLE and for sharing this CLASSIC PIECE. I see it as an unending piece of pie🥧 fit for all ages.
Thanks à bunch.....
