Product description

With the melancholy open-road epic Two-Lane Blacktop, American auteur Monte Hellman (The Shooting, Cockfighter, and the recent Road to Nowhere) poeticised the beautiful, terrible rootlessness of his nation in the era of Vietnam. Funded by Universal in a bid to recreate the success of Easy Rider by giving a number of filmmakers $1m and final cut Hellman's effort is now regarded as one of the key films of the New Hollywood renaissance of the early 1970s.

While driving eastward on Route 66, two rival car owners The Driver (singer-songwriter James Taylor) and The Mechanic (Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys) in a souped-up, drag-racing '55 Chevy, and a middle-aged braggart (Warren Oates) in a gleaming GTO begin to race for each other's "pink slips" and the affections of the listless female hitchhiker (Laurie Bird) who joins them on the road.

Scripted by esteemed novelist Rudy Wurlitzer, and featuring the only screen performances of Taylor and Wilson, Two-Lane Blacktop remains a timeless, existential portrait of lives in transit and of a country questioning its identity.

Two-Lane Blacktop is one of the most popular car-fetishist / petrolhead movies ever made and listed as one of the 50 greatest independent films of all time by Empire Magazine. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Hellman's iconic film on blu-ray for the first time ever anywhere in the world on its 40th birthday, released on 23 January 2012.

Some movies you forget as you leave the cinema, some you remember decades later...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 April 2010

Verified Purchase

This movie came out when I was at art school. Easy Rider had set the scene for road movies of this era and Bullet's car chase sequence had given us an unforgetable taste of American Muscle Cars. Vanishing Point was THE (?) big road movie of 1971 and Amercian Graphitti was still in the making. One of my lecturers had actually done the car ferrying across the States that is the initial motive for Barry Newmans character in Vanishing Point and had spotted the screenplay for Two Lane Blacktop in Esquire magazine. I read it and was hooked by it's imagery. When the film was released the two leads seemed perfectly cast and the locations and characters were exactly as I'd imagined they would be. The world of back road America away from all that was modern and the roar of the freeways was perfect for this "new Easy Rider" as Esquire had dubbed it. It wasn't Easy Rider "the sequel" but it had the concept of drifting and following your next whim. Warren Oates character provided "the bread head" and a contrast with their aimless wandering as well as most of the films understated humour. This is not an action film. As other reviewers have suggested it is a thoughtful, thought provoking film, set in the world of back roads America that I'm sure will stick in your memory as it has for mine ....for 39 years now!

An improvement, but not that different

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 September 2012

Verified Purchase

let me just premise this by saying that the film itself I consider 5 star. I originally had a DVD of this film and it wasn't that bad quality, This Blu Ray is better quality in the daylight scenes although the nightime scenes are still fairly awful (nothing can be done, cameras just weren't that good at it back then) the thing that disapointed me about this was the sound,
you have 3 choices.
*DTS HD 5.1
*Original mono
*Music & effects track

The DTS HD 5.1 just sounds like the original recording, and not restored at all as far as I can tell.
The original mono is not something I've tried yet but I think tis safe to assume little difference.
The Music effects track is just stock sounds of engines and various bits of music added on and removal of the voices of all the characters, its completely pointless.

in summary, great film, great moments of high res in the daylight films (for a film made in the 70's without a big budget), awful nighttime grain and dissapointing sound.

Iconic road movie for any car enthusiast

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 February 2019

Verified Purchase

Maybe you're a car enthusiast or a classic car enthusiast but maybe not American classics? Watch this film anyway because this is the Iconic Road Movie! Street racing for cars (pink slips) with some drag racing thrown in as well. Some humour, in fact a fair bit of fairly dry humour (even spelled the english way which amazon highlights as a mistake). How realistic are the car scenes? Well the scene at the start of the film was for real and the police turned up. The main car is the real deal and was also used in American Graffiti (actually there were 3 identical cars). Sure there's a slow section in the middle of the film but it picks up pace again after. Whatever your age if you're a car person you ought to watch this film at least once.

Timeless realist road movie

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 February 2009

Verified Purchase

This unpretentious low budget understated movie, with sparse dialogue, minimal story line and virtualy no musical score,has disturbingly more depth and meaning than a thousand high budget crash bang, flash edited CGI comic strip type movies will ever have.I remember seeing it once in the late seventies on TV and it imprinted itself on my mind so sharply that I could still recall scenes and the melancholic feel of it more than 30 years on....so I thought I better get a copy and see it again.
The beauty of it for me is that the scenes are not all jammed up with boring attention grabbing shock tactics, but allow the viewer some space to get absorbed into it,so after a while you end up on the road with the movie itself which is ultimately more engaging and satisfying than being force fed visual adrenalin.
To sum up if you prefer deft characterisations,roaring V8 engines and entertaining realism this is a movie for you, if you've got a digitally reduced attention span you'll probably miss the point.

Small budget movie, of its time.

Monte Hellmans cult,road movie that drifts along enjoyably.
Modeled on Easy Rider, it drifts along,and nothing really happens,but its a good excuse to watch the late Warren Oates.
Mildly enjoyable.

Drag-on

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 June 2008

Verified Purchase

Ok, if you know what a 55 Chevy looks like and if you know what a 1970 GTO looks like and the colour Orbit Orange means anything to you you will like this film. Yes it is a bit slow but enjoy it for what it is, a home brew 55 drag racer takes on a piece of Detroit Muscle. The home brew crew need to do a bit of street and strip racing to survive on the journey - are they drag racing nomads at the start of the 70's. The GTO represents the middle age desk jocky who isn't satisfied with his lot and wants somthing else - but probably isn't sure what. As a Middle aged Mondeo driving desk jocky who always wanted to be the driver of the 55 this sometimes slow film has been one of my faves for the last 20 years.

Nothing happens, no-one says anything - wonderful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 July 2009

Verified Purchase

This is a film where nothing happens, except right at the end, when nothing happens. Dialogue is minimal. Acting is underplayed, and several of the stars are "non-actors" (whatever that means). The tone is nihilistic - although I should point out that no-one dies, and nothing particularly bad happens. Yet despite all that, it's watchable and engaging.

This re-defined for me what film making can be. It's not like anything else I've seen (including films made after it), although directors like Jarmusch obviously share some of Hellman's values.

It was on my "must see before I die" list for years, and I was prepared for it to fail to meet the hype. In fact, I think it far exceeds it: a classic, a milestone, a must for everyone with a serious interest (whatever that is) in film.

Road Movie with a difference

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 August 2006

Verified Purchase

I've been waiting for this to be re-released in this country for years. I remember seeing it a couple of times on TV. For anyone who's into this period of American movie making this can be considered a classic. For anyone who's interested in James Taylors' career it's very interesting to watch. Why it's taken until 2006 to get a release seems strange, although I expect it'll only appeal to niche markets and true movie lovers unless there's some promotion. Shame.
