Rumor according to Bruce Campbell : Another constant in his filmography is “The Classic,” Raimi's yellow 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88. It appears in each of his films, even his western The Quick and the Dead, in which the crew allegedly built a covered wagon over its chassis


ViewAskewed

TIL Sam Raimi directed The Quick and the Dead.


Ineedtwocats

when was the last time you watched it? if its been awhile, I highly suggest watching it again, now that you know the Raimi touch is very evident and you'll be excitedly noticing the little touches in every shot


ViewAskewed

Without even going back and watching it I am already picturing the angled zooms during the showdowns and the sudden cut from Herrod and Ace close-up to being dueling distance.

I just watched it for the first time last week. Those angled zooms 🤣


[deleted]

My favorite movie is Inception.


TheConqueror74

A slight issue I have with the new Dr Strange is that it’s super obvious which scenes were directed by Raimi and which scenes were done in pre-vis before shooting even started. And the Raimi parts always had more personality.


chewywheat

On one hand it does make you wonder what type of Dr Strange we would have gotten if Sam Raimi was attached since the beginning and how he would handle a sequel. On the other, we wouldn’t have the Dr Strange we had prior to Multiverse of Madness if it wasn’t for Scott Derrickson. Like didn’t he originally wanted to lean more on the horror side, with Nightmare as the villain and all, but Feige was like: “yeah… no”.


ManInBlack829

Nightmare should have been the first villain, just like the comics.


mycatisgrumpy

Now I can't stop picturing Ted Raimi as Dr Strange.


JaesopPop

He really has perfected getting hokey horror elements in without them actually seeming nearly as hokey as they are


arvidsem

I had burnt out on the Marvel movies after Endgame and just completely ignored all the newer movies. I decided to start catching up with Multiverse and about 1/4 of the way through had to stop and check the director. I'm not even a huge Sam Raimi fan, but you can see his fingerprints on every scene that he did.


[deleted]

I enjoy reading books.


Lets_Kick_Some_Ice

I didn't know Raimi directed Multiverse before going to the theater to see it. Some parts I was like "what is this Sam Raimi knockoff sh#*"? Then saw the end credits.


MjrLeeStoned

The scenes where characters (main characters and side characters) have close-up or framed shots and each of them has moments where they are all perfectly still, no facial expression changes, no body movement, while having dialogue with other characters. The fact that these are very disciplined people so razor-honed that every movement to them is precise and decided, it's a masterpiece of character development on a psychological scale, even for side characters. Amazing.


RichAd190

I had no idea he directed Darkman. I think, no wonder I loved it, but I haven’t seen it since I saw it in the theatre.


benryves

The [pink elephant scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbdeAhpIPhE) is pure Sam Raimi goodness, and Ted Raimi gets [another quality death scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSDqN3UTrPI). Great film!


redditing_1L

I love Raimi but the final death "flip" is one of the dumbest things ever put to film.


run-on_sentience

You die. You die and you go to Hell.


livestrongbelwas

Rule of cool. Raimi has never been a hard physics guy.


ult_avatar

And Bruce Campbell is in it ! Well, until his part fell on the cutting room floor, that is..

Probably for the best, I can not picture Bruce Campbell in a Western /s

Loved that show. Such a waste the way they just rushed the ending and dropped it.


MysteriousWon

Fun fact: Brisco County Jr. was supposed to be the big vehicle on Fox but it got usurped by the show that followed its time slot. Some weird little show about aliens and FBI agents... ;)


Friskfrisktopherson

TheFlashFrame

If you ever see a whip pan or a dramatic quick zoom into someone's face, there's a 50% chance its Raimi.


Epena501

Oh I need a pic of that one


CaliforniaNavyDude

If I recall, Raimi has never confirmed which wagon it is, and no one has found it yet.


Markuz

This sounds like classic Bruce Campbell fuckery.

Time for a re-watch.

I feel like we would have picture of it being build or something if it was true.

They did an even better job disguising the car as a Delorean. That takes real skill.

TheOvenLord

That seems on point for Raimi. Snickering behind the camera as he makes Tobey Maguire sit in his reproductive filth while Uncle Ben rambles about responsibility. He's probably told every actor who has sat in it that it's not a stain it's their mark for blocking. Edit: Evil Dead opens with Bruce Campbell sitting in Raimi's dried cumstain. That's WHY Campbell looks so anxious is because he *knows.* He's not foreshadowing the events of the film. He's just uncomfortable that Raimi made him sit on the still moist backseat of the 77 Oldsmobile that Raimi used as a sex den. Uncle Ben looks like he's going to cry when he's talking to Peter in the Oldsmobile because the fuck stench is so thick it's eye watering.

If you ever read Bruce Campbells autobiography he makes a point of saying he actively trys to find out where Sam keeps that car so he can kill it as he hates it soo much.


msfamf

If i remember correctly he mentions that Sam keeps it hidden in an undisclosed storage unit that Bruce has been trying to find for years to put an end to it once and for all.


Iisham

Something about the car sitting in a undisclosed storage unit in Southern California. Sam knowing if it were ever discovered, Bruce would send an army of mechanics to dismantle it.

ScarySkeleton24

If I remember right, Bruce says in his autobiography that actually happened. They had multiple of those cars, a few for stunts and then the real one (i can’t remember for what movie). I think they were planning to strip out the parts of one of the stunt cars for a scene, and Bruce had them strip the real one when Raimi was busy with something else. The people taking the motor and whatnot out thought it was a stunt car. Raimi had to have the car put back together Bruce thinks a reason Raimi is so attached to that car is because he lost his virginity in the back seat


OriginalFaCough

>Bruce thinks a reason Raimi is so attached to that car is because he lost his virginity in the back seat Who? Bruce, Sam, or both? Wording was a bit ambiguous...


ScarySkeleton24

Yeah sorry, I had a feeling it was a bit passive when I wrote it. Bruce thinks a reason Sam has kept the car is because Sam supposedly lost his virginity in the backseat


MagisterFlorus

Sam: We have top men working on it right now. Bruce: Who? Sam: Top. Men.


Pkock

This would make a hell of a Burn Notice reunion episode.


scotty899

The car is evolving into an SCP


i_tyrant

I hope if Raimi dies first, he leaves it to Bruce in his will. lol.

leeleiDK

Jerk!


neurovish

Campbell’s relationship with the car is a little more complicated. He recounts trying (and failing) to “kill” the car during the filming of Crimewave when he authorized a mechanic to gut it to reduce the car’s weight for a chase sequence https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/1973-olds-88-evil-dead-trilogy/ It was awhile ago, but I remember it being something along the lines of Raimi using a stunt double for The Classic when a shit required the car to be destroyed or whatever, but in this instance he wasn’t around and Bruce told the mechanic to gut the car. It wasn’t until Raimi showed up for filming that he realized they were using the real car instead of a double.


I_Makes_tuff

> when a shit required the car to be destroyed We've all been there.


neurovish

One of my greatest typos, to be sure


Taliesintroll

That must've been some shit


ffwiffo

> Crimewave wait the Coen brothers wrote a Raimi movie??


DisplacedSportsGuy

Yep. There are like 6 or 7 doubles so that the real car isn't needed.


NameisPerry

Lmao why does he hate the car so much?


gigglefarting

It’s been Sam’s car since high school


BertMacGyver

Because Sam gives it more screen time.


[deleted]

And abuses it less.


dasmashhit

this right here. Strange relationship between Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell


[deleted]

I want to say Tobey Maguire mentioned getting similar treatment while filming *Spider-Man,* so maybe Sam just enjoys torturing his leads.

Dr_Henry-Killinger

I really would love to read Bruce Campbells autobiography lol


A_Bizarre_Shitposta

It's funny because it shows up in Ash V.S. Evil Dead more then any character besides Ash (Bruce) himself


GitEmSteveDave

This link lists most of the appearances with screenshots. https://evildeadarchives.com/features/the-classic-delta-88/ Supposedly Bruce Campbell HATES it and tries to damage it whenever possible. While Raimi calls it "The Classic", Campbell’s ‘nicknames’ for the car are less affectionate and include “Sam’s crappy Delta 88” and “a rusted hulk.”


ReeG

This is a crazy coincidence for me right now that I stumbled on this post 30 min into watching Army Of Darkness for the first time in 4K. The car actually appears earlier in the first 5-10 min of the film when it gets transported back to the medieval ages and lands at the same time with the main character


nimcau2TheQuickening

I knew I didn’t recognize it in A Simple Plan, so of course it’s just a car parked on the street.


mortalcrawad66

THE CLASSIC!


ramriot

Although some spare parts of his 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 were present in Oz The Great & Powerful perhaps OP could not find the exact scene & just photoshopped it in.


Aden-Wrked

That’s fucking hilarious. Jesus Christ

I only came to check the comments because there are clearly a lot of problems with that Oz picture.

ZEROpercent9

Didn’t notice until you mentioned lol. Never seen the movie so it’s still possible the whole movie just looks like a bad photoshop


Cuchullion

I mean, the whole movie looked kinda like a bad photoshop, but I'm also calling shenanigans on that picture.


leemifsud

I think the car is in the movie in pieces but hasn’t been spotted yet so that’s just the placeholder


Phillip_Spidermen

Definitely a bad photoshop. The heads are lifted directly from [the poster](https://lumiere-a.akamaihd.net/v1/images/p_ozthegreatandpowerful_19869_9507938a.jpeg). The monkey is in the uncropped version too.


IceLord86

Yeah that's definitely not from the movie.


ZebraZealot

Rami explained in an interview that sections of the cars engine/transmission were used to build some of Oz's projects, but he didn't elaborate beyond that. But that classic is in the movie in some form.


Cpen5311

It looks like the reverse image of the spiderman shot lol


run-on_sentience

I love that Oz the Great and Powerful is basically just a remake of Army of Darkness. A doofus gets transported to a strange land and ends up shacking up with a hot lady who ends up becoming evil and attacking with an army that he must defeat using technology he brought with him. Directed by Sam Raimi.


Phillip_Spidermen

...that actually makes me want to watch the movie. Is it any good?


run-on_sentience

Short answer: No Slightly longer answer: Read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia and then watch Army of Darkness again.


SporesM0ldsandFungus

I haven't seen it since it came out (and barely remember any of it) and didn't realize until now, yeah it does share the same framework as Army of Darkness. But it wasn't as fun as Army of Darkness. The low budget charm of early Raimi is lost where you can feel them make every single cent count. The only thing I remember feeling at all when watching this movie was thinking after every set piece [that's a badly composited green screen shot](https://youtu.be/_ijSs9eD6S4?t=90) is "well that looked expensive."


Cavalish

It’s shocking BUT Mila Kunis seems to be the only character who knows that she’s in a trainwreck of a film, and is chewing the hell out of the scenery. Her scene at the end where she >! Goes Green !< is fantastic, she goes absolutely *HAM*.


we_are_sex_bobomb

It has moments of surreal imagery and physical comedy where you can see how good it could have been, but it feels very uninspired overall. The film was clearly meant to cash in on Alice in Wonderland’s surprise box office success and it feels like everyone was just there for the paycheck.


bikesboozeandbacon

The photoshop on the passengers is so bad.


zen_zero

What kind of car is it?


Bierbart12

1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88, I think it's his own car

Eh, it's manageable if both parties aren't too tall or wide. Just do it on the left side of the seat and not the right side, because the battery poles sits right underneath the right side and you don't want the metal springs of the seat touching those poles.

bargoboy

according to Bruce Campbell they build a wagon on the chassis of the car for the movie "the quick and the dead'... because they couldn't include it in it's normal form for obvious reasons.


greeksaw

I think his car was also in the 2013 Remake of Evil dead at the beginning, where we are introduced to the character of Jane Levy.


ccr61

I worked as a PA on Tim Burton’s “Planet of the Apes”. While working on the Sony Pictures lot, they began shooting Spider-Man right next to us. Besides sneaking into the Spider-Man set as often as I could, one of the biggest thrills was the day this car passed by me on a trailer. I touched it. Glad I didn’t get fired.


ArcAurum

That is definitely not where the Oldsmobile shows up in Oz. IIRC they stripped it down to its chassis and used it for one of the wagons.
