NO SPECIAL EFFECTS THIS IS WHAT MADE THESE MOVIES THE

[Methadonebunyip]

Nearly 40 yrs later and this is still one of the best opening scenes to a movie ever.
The roar of that Lambo is so in tune with the song it gives me goosebumps every time

[joehoward]

Quite possibly one of the greatest intros ever. No doubt

[smmk]

I had a Countach and it was very fast. The batteries would die too fast! Very nice rc though!

[cadillacman]

Imagine how that stunt driver is feeling running that beautiful beast flat out in the desert

[blueskunk]

What an intro! Hot women, fast cars, and huge stars goofing on each other. Still awesome in 2021!

[WobblyFella]

Nothing beats the final moments of this intro when the Lambo pulls past the cop car and just takes off.
Sped-up or not, it's beautiful.

[bicyclist]

There's nothing quite like seeing a Lambo Countach go flying by at speed. I loved this movie when I saw it back in the late 80's.

[mclcorp]

Most everyone in this all star cast is gone :(
RIP Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Fonda, Dom DeLuise.

The Countach will always be the king of all exotics. That car put exotics on the map back in the 80's.

[kirkrespite]

Imagine back in the day only seeing pictures of this car in magazines never seeing it move much less here it then this movie comes out you sit down in front of the giant theatre screen surrounded by loud speakers good popcorn and this is what you see imagine how mind blowing this moment must have been being one of the first normal people to hear this car and see it run

[lukeskywalker]

Still the most visually arresting car ever built. A total icon and to me one of the most desirable autos ever.

[rodman]

once in a while I always come back to this great intro... the highway patrol Pontiac Firebird is not too shabby either

[robduncan]

i was 12 years old and i was never the same after this

[PiotrKuzmicki]

Can we all agree it’s one of the best intro’s ever?! 🙌🏻

[WorgenGrrl]

I saw this on HBO as a preteen in the 80s...when I saw that Lambo, I had never seen anything more beautiful in my life! And there's nothing like hearing that Bull roar!

[mewtwo.]

-Trans Am: Do you know why I pulled you over?

-Countach: Because I let you

[neonvandal]

I remember going to the cinema in the early 80's to see this film as kid with my buddies -EVERYONE was open mouthed when this was playing. That black Lamborghini was a young boys instant fantasy. Srill one of the best car intros ever ❤

[philarmstrong]

Some say they are still trying to catch that Lamborghini Countach to this day !
That Lamborghini sound will never get old ! Epic.

[musewolfman]

That drift at 2:15 is a work of art. It goes by so quick, and is overshadowed by the sheer beauty of the Countach, but it is pretty damn amazing.
