70s Movie

Blind Eye Jones

[Blind Eye Jones]

Does anybody remember a teen movie from the early 70s about two kids hitching up, one involved in a robbery with a gun, a car and maybe Steve Miller music (like Take The Money And Run or The Joker). It was a B or C movie and looked colorful (Hawaii or California). It might have also had the word Rose in it. If anybody can remember that far back and remember the movie title -- you are truly amazing!

I own the DVD. Was better in memory than on re-watching, but you might like it.

[Lazlo in PA]

That is it. Good catch there dude.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Thanks for posting but I think Darkwolf377 got it.

[Lazlo in PA]

He got it dead on.

I dig 70’s crime films—they weren’t afraid to be miserable.

As far as revisiting these flicks I saw back then, Vanishing Point is now one of my favorites. If you like this genre you might enjoy it.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Thanks! That was incredibly quick. I never watched it back then but for some reason remembered the trailer. And why do I want to remember the title now! It is too weird. Anyway, thanks again.

You smoke pot, right?

Say, I was wondering, can you cite your tagline?

[Darkwolf377]

You’re welcome. I remember when it came on the ABC late movie and that dude who used to say “On The Looooove Boat!” said “Aloha, Bobby and Rose” all low and threatening, so you knew it was gonna be one miserable crime flick! :D

Bobby and Rose, two youngsters who are in love, have to run away from home when they are falsely accused to have committed a robbery and an assassination.

Yikes! I falsely accuse imdb to have commited severe manglement of the english grammar!

Anyway, never hoid of it.

Impressive, Darkwolf.

Ah! But for my generation it would have been “The Legend of Billie Jean” in ‘85 or “Pump up the Volume” in ‘89.

No.

Lots of sources, look it up.

[Darkwolf377]

IMDB has caused my brain to ache with some of their write-ups. Unfortunately, until someone makes something better, we’re stuck with it. I just double-check when I’m doing research.

Was better in memory than on re-watching...

Sadly, this was exactly my own experience with Goofy's Cavalcade of Sports.

[Darkwolf377]

I remember both of those flicks, though I was 20 in ‘85. The Rebel Teen is one of the most common Hollywood fixtures, and one of the toughest to pull off effectively.

I liked the movie “Vanishing Point”, along with “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry”, and “Two Lane Blacktop”. Vanishing Point was released in 1971 I think, the same year I was born. The take the money and run car-chase movies from that gernre were awsome.

The Rebel Teen movie would be easier when set in unfree settings. Remember ‘91’s “Swing Kids”? Jazz-obsessed teens in Hitler’s Germany?

There was also one where the towns kids trapped the parents in the school building. All the kids did a lot of drugs, and were unruly It was made in the 70’s. I was a kid when I saw it and thought wow this is way out of line showing kids in this nature. I am curious what the name of that movie is now though.
