When they first start out jogging they are running down the strand in Redondo Beach I lived there for ten years. Then he pulls up in the parking lot in front of Torrance and Rat beach looking out at Palos Verdes.

For some reason, it looks high in the front. Maybe it is a typical big block that had the engine pulled and a small block installed to save gas in the gas guzzlin' '70s.

It has been a long time since I saw that movie. Too bad they don't show these old movies on Saturday afternoons more often.

That is awesome. Back when California really would have been a dream. Now not so much. I'm a huge fan of this era of movies. Cant believe I never saw this one. Here is a longer clip to that scene:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx4D0...eature=related

How about these: 10, Blame it on Rio, CC Ryder, Summer Lovers

When I was a kid, I loved this scene at the start of CC Ryder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43Cg-ggsVC4
