Movie Clip

Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) Chariot Race Is Next! At a completely imaginary stunt-man’s benefit show in LA, Burt Reynolds as the title character is a big draw, Alfie Wise his buddy, Norm Grabowski as Hammerhead, and Jan-Michael Vincent flies in as “the Kid,” about whom there’s lots of buzz, with hero stunt man Hal Needham directing, in Hooper, 1978.
Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) Perfect Companion With language that might not be chosen today, and their relationship undefined, Burt Reynolds as the stunt-man title character arrives home from the set to fairly-worried Sally Field as Gwen (the two were a couple at the time), with impressive double-talking, Hal Needham directing, in Hooper, 1978.
Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) We May Be In Trouble First an uncredited song (the singer’s sign-off maybe the inspiration for the Toby Keith hit?) then title character Burt Reynolds with his crew at an LA bar, his squeeze Sally Field, Brian Keith and later Jan-Michael Vincent, tangle with a gang led by Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw, the reigning Super Bowl MVP (with stunt stalwart Robert Tessier), in Hooper, 1978.
Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) I Won't Do Any Acting After suiting up in the credits, star Burt Reynolds (the stunt-man title character Sonny) roars down to the set where Robert Klein is the director, Adam West plays himself as the star he’s doubling-for, and James Best his buddy Cully, with Burt pal and legendary stunt man Hal Needham directing, in Hooper, 1978.
Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) -- (Movie Clip) Fire In The Hole! Director Michael Apted's opening and a scene that helped popularize the now common phrase, also introducing Sissy Spacek playing singer Loretta Lynn, musician Levon Helm her father and Tommy Lee Jones her future husband, in Coal Miner's Daughter, 1980.
Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) -- (Movie Clip) Go Ask Daddy A scene singer Loretta Lynn says is recreated very much as it happened, Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, 1948, Sissy Spacek as the star, not yet 16, Tommy Lee Jones her beau Doolittle Lynn, Levon Helm and Phyllis Boyens her parents, in Coal Miner's Daughter, 1980.
Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) -- (Movie Clip) Who's That Sow?
