Car Wash (2/10) Movie CLIP - 'Car Wash' Theme Song (1976) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The "Car Wash" song plays while the employees at the car wash get to work.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Michael Schultz directed this kinetic, hyperventilating comedy (scripted by Joel Schumacher) concerning the crazed events that go on within a single 10-hour period at a Los Angeles car wash. The cast of colorful car-wash employees includes Lonnie (Ivan Dixon), an ex-con; Duane (Bill Duke), a militant black activist; and Lindy (Antonio Fargas), an obnoxious homosexual. Sully Boyar plays Mr. B, the frazzled car-wash owner who has to deal with his screwball employees along with his over-educated slip of a son, Irwin (Richard Brestoff), who quotes Mao and wants to radicalize the workers. Also along for the wash and wax are Miss Beverly Hills (Lauren Jones), with a wild assortment of wigs; Marsha (Melanie Mayron), the distracted car wash secretary; a mad bomber (Prof. Irwin Corey), who is terrorizing the neighborhood; and Daddy Rich (Richard Pryor), the founder of the Church of Divine Economic Spirituality, who sports a gold limousine. Danny de Vito, Brooke Adams and others were originally in the cast but their scenes were ultimately deleted.

If you weren't around in 1976 and wonder what it was like watch this movie. It captures the spirit of that year to a tee.

[MMAfighter]

This movie still holds up. Still funny as hell 44 years later.

[marionv.brittainiii]

There's absolutely NOTHING like the original "Car Wash". Both the song and the movie from 1976. I was only seven years old and it was awesome then and still awesome today.🙌

[bza]

I MISS THE 70s so much fun and freedom back then.

I saw this at the Drive-In theater in Union NJ and as a 9 year old it was an exciting time. The 1970’s was an incredible time to grow up. The movies usually went hand in hand with the music. Car Wash obviously is a example of that...

My uncle took me to see this at the movie theater when I was 8 yrs old, I'm 52 now and am seeing this clip for the 1st time since then....brings back some memories from long ago.

[underrated]

77 born but i remember watching this movie around 88. It gave me a sense of what the 70s were like. That's why the 70s are my favorite decade. Everybody was so hype and cool, rocking big fares and bell bottoms. Plus I'm a 70s baby too. Lol

The Car Wash, where the boss don't mind if you sometimes act a fool. Sounds like a good boss ..

I saw this movie in 76, it was fantastic ! ! ! Many months later it was shown at my high school, I watched it there also, it was fantastic ! ! ! The high school auditorium was absolutely full with all the students wanting to see Car Wash and dig this song, the whole auditorium clapped to the rhythm at the intro song . It was fantastic ! Watch this movie, it's the culture of that time period . You see the car wash receptionist girl ; that's how girls looked at that time . She looks really hot ! ! !

The two dudes at 1:33 were always my favorite!
