Cool Hand Luke - Carwash Scene

An excellent movie with a great cast. Seen it about a dozen times.

Lost in the focus on the amply-endowed Ms. Harmon....you'll notice quite a few notable young actors on the work crew who were cast in this movie before they hit it big with other roles....most notably Wayne Rogers (Trapper John on M*A*S*H), Ralph Waite (Papa Walton on The Waltons) and Dennis Hopper (before he starred in Easy Rider).

I always notice those faces in the movie,especially Hopper who was the most significant of those IMO.He had done quite a bit before that including things like "Rebel without a cause" and a lot of TV.There was a twilight zone he was in where he plays a young neo-nazi who ends up meeting the real Hitler who has been advising him covertly.

Oh yeah....one of the best character-actors of all time....Strother Martin! May he rest in peace.....

Yeah one of the classic line's that movie had in it.Your mentioning character actors is making me think of someone I bet hardly anyone would recognize his name.He appeared in tons on movies and TV shows.His name was Whit Bissel and he has an amazing list of credits.

I remember that scene from when I saw it in high school for some class. There was a lot of hootin' and hollerin' when those puppies were squishin' against the window.

"bump"? :confused:

All right! I'll give you some very special, secret trivia, then:

The scene was shot at holdol's place. The girl has been "employee of the month" for the last 40 years straight.

she remembers me of Jill Kelly, what a gorgeous woman with nice big :boobies:
 
Can't thank you folks enough for sharing that! I watched this film when I was 10 or so, reckon I was too innocent to remember the carwash scene at the time, just a damn good egg eating competition lol! I intend to make up for my lack of appreciation!
 
Patty Joy Harmon will soon celebrate her 68th birthday on May 1. She was a hot extra in many movies, those old beach movies and other teen type flicks.

She started and still runs this business after her 15 min of fame faded. :)

Cakes, eh???
Well, at least at the time this scene was filmed, I would've been happy to provide some frosting for her! She's have to squeeze it out of my stubborn dispenser, though! ;)

I have yet to watch this film in its entirety - I've only caught chunks of it when its on the tube. I've always wanted to see it, but can now see that I've been missing something special, in more ways than one...
