The Jerk - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jcentsr6 · 12-22-2007, 03:28 PM

I just turned on Universal HD adn THE JERK is on. Filmed in 1979.

Steve Martin just got a ride in a old chevy c-10 pickup...two tone dark green. Has any one seen this.

By the way, the movie is stupid..but funny.

"Hey, These oil cans are defective!" Oh yeah, I will have to watch that again.

I just remember the Monte Carlo.I liked when he ran outside naked and grabbed the two dogs to cover up.

Wasnt that Jamie Curtis who he learned his special purpose from?

DavesRide · 12-22-2007, 04:24 PM

We couldn't afford the optigrab because "I was born a poor black child." It was a classic. Steve has gotten too serious for me now compared to his early stuff. I got more quotes, some might not be appropriate for family viewing.

One of the greatest openings in all movie history.
Steve Martin - "I was born a poor, black child."

DavesRide · 12-22-2007, 04:36 PM

I have some albums in vinyl of some serious early Steve. I still laugh about the cat that was the best one ever. Hey what does this have to do with chevys. Oh yeah the truck. I got a free pass at the movie rent place. I will get back with ya.

I remember my dad recording it from TV when I was a kid and watching it many times. I bought the DVD earlier this year and discovered that the TV version has a whole slew of extra scenes throughout the movie that they didn't include in the DVD.

Was the C10 the truck he hitchiked from one side of his yard to the other, or was that later on?

dznucks · 12-23-2007, 02:30 AM

"come on s^!t head"
i was watching it last night too. Yep i saw the truck and the thought actually went through my head that someone might post somehting about it.
I have always nick named my dog that and she will actually respond to it.

i have to get a shirt like that little boy (billy i think) has on when he high jacks the train.

It was the truck that gave him a ride to the gas station where he first got a job.

Ahh, okay, that's right. "You'll pay me $1.10 to work here???"

You gotta love that dog's name. On TV it was "Stupid".

Anyone up for some cat juggling?!

Zumo · 12-23-2007, 07:23 AM

I was born a poor, poor black child.
