I think that was The Cannonball Run.
Curse this failing memory of mine. I had conflated it with the “What’s behind me…” quote.
Ok, let’s start trading Cannonball Run and / or Smokie and the Bandit vignettes. Anyone who liked any of them almost certainly likes and remembers all of them.
OMG, it was Valerie Perrine!
In the Gumball Rally, two guys pulled up beside the the two women in the Porsche as they drove, and tried a cheesy pickup line. The driver of the Porsche replied, “If you can catch me, you can have me,” and speeds off.
We don’t know exactly what happens next and subsequently, but it’s apparent that the guys’ car could and did catch the women’s Porsche.
I’d suggest that the “try the cleavage and it turns out to be a woman cop” bit is from The Cannonball Run.
The Porsche ran out of gas! Almost immediately.
Thanks, Burpo. Yes, you’re right.
Guess it’s time for me to re-watch Gumball Rally. Like I needed an excuse. 
I could do without the motorcyclist, but that was what everyone in school was quacking about.
I re-re-watched it back around Thanksgiving. Yeah, it holds up well!
How does Raul go off with the beautiful pickup girl (no, she was wasn’t driving a pick-up), make the bouncy-bouncy and get back to his car, which his partner (Tim McIntyre?) has been 200 MPH-ing in the opposite direction all that time? I don’t really care, it’s all in fun. Then he jumps into his car from hers while they’re moving (I think). BAFF! 
I thought it broke down for some reason. The next we see of them, one of the guys they had flirted with had helped fix their car.
Kind of a silly plot thread, but " Lapchik the Mad Hungarian" is a great name for a movie character.
I remember Cannonball Run ended in a photo finish, but that the start of the race was staggered with the Lamborghini going earlier than the ambulance. Seems like JJ and Victor had some buffer, but I can’t remember how much. It’s like how Caddyshack ends in a tie.
I always wondered whether it ran out of gas or “ran out of gas”. The Porsche driver character made sure that was ambiguous. :wink wink nudge nudge:
A lot. At least 10 minutes by my reckoning.
Pamela: You know what I like best about trees?
A. F. Foyt: No, what?
Pamela: That you can lie under them on a moonlit night with the breeze blowing and ball your brains out.
I just found a clip and it seems the Porsche did break down and the younger woman says the one guy fixed it. Whoa! here’s the clip!
Absolutely!
Smokey.
My favorite movie of 1977. The greatest dog in a movie, ever. Sally Field in her prime. What’s not to love?
The woman was Adrienne Barbeau, “Maude”'s daughter.
Thanks for that, @F.U.Shakespeare. Looks like we’ve got the “cleavage and the lady cop” question solved.
But Adrienne Barbeau. Not only Maude’s daughter and an occasional Love Boat traveller, but also Brain’s (Harry Dean Stanton’s) “squeeze” in Escape from New York. Which might be another nominee for “movies that held up well.”
Yes, it states plainly that it takes place in 1997, and even though we’re well past that and the USPF never formed and Manhattan never became a prison, then if you can ignore that, I find it to be still a gripping, edge-of-your-seat action picture. The year doesn’t matter; the inmates of Manhattan wouldn’t have cell phones or cell service anyway, even now; and if they did have cellphones, electricity to charge them is scarce in their world.
Fun Fact: That’s Jamie Lee Curtis who does the opening narration (uncredited).
D’oh! Thank you.
Officer Smiley certainly had some cleavage of her own going on there.
Thanks for the cite. We here at the Dope take getting our facts straight from the source very seriously. No matter how round those facts might be.
Or full.
I saw the movie in the theater when it came out. The local film chain took the opportunity to raise the price of a movie to $2.00/
Towards the end I was angry because I liked the movie so much and it seemed that Newman and Redford had been killed off. Then of course it turned out we the audience had been conned too. It’s one of my favorite movies.
Best line in the movie?
“Flat rate.”
