If this has the deleted scenes then I won't have to unwrap the UK version I got for Christmas.

tv print has Danny DeVito and Brooke Adams so it would be nice if they find that

Shout! Select. Please let it be a great transfer. Please let it be a great transfer. Please let it be a great transfer.

Not a "Hollywood" style movie by any means. Richard P & George C. cut it up good!
This movie has lots of heart and soul!

Day 1

lilant2248 · 03-03-2017, 01:09 AM

Any fans of this should watch the Car Wash documentary Unsung Hollywood.

I wonder if that could wind up as an extra?

donidarko · 03-03-2017, 05:54 PM

I love this movie!

Watched it every time it showed on HBO in the 70s. An outstanding ensemble of memorable characters played by a terrific cast.

GoodAsBlu · 03-03-2017, 05:58 PM

Two great title announcements from Shout this week. First, Cheech & Chong's Next Movie and now this?!

figrin_dan · 05-02-2017, 09:36 AM

No deleted scenes then:

Quote:

NEW "Car Wash From Start To Finish" With Producer Gary Stromberg
NEW "Workin' At The Car Wash" With Otis Day
Audio Commentary With Director Michael Schultz
Radio Spot
Trailer

I think I'll stick with my UK version.

No new transfer per message from Shout. I'm not familiar with the current one hope it's decent. I did find this review of the video of the British release on Amazon :

"Blu-ray Video Quality – Universal Pictures and Fabulous Films Limited have come together to bring us this 40 year old film for a 2016 premiere United Kingdom only release. Here we get presented with a wonderful solid 1080p encoded image Blu-ray disc and the image for a film of this age is generally very colourful with a fine layer of grain and a reasonable amount of detail. There are no signs of damage or speckling that I could detect and to repeat colours are rich and vibrant with especially robust reds. I suspect this has been taken from a dated source used to create the previous widescreen DVD releases, but that said there is little to worry about, as they have done a really wonderful job. This really does show how good 35mm film can look when it has been well looked after; and a look I prefer to the more pristine feel of digitally shot productions. So all in all ‘CAR WASH’ gets definite thumbs up from me and also gets a definite a five star solid rating."

can anyone else chime in if you have a copy

Mr.Twinks · 05-07-2017, 03:17 PM

Man that haven't seen this movie in years! I remember seeing on tv way back in the day! I might have to buy this!

Also I wonder if this gives hope to The GumBall Rally maybe releasing from Shout! one day!
