	'More American Graffiti' - Laserdisc Review [SMR]
		George Lucas’; 'American Graffiti' was heretofore one of the worst pan-and-scan jobs in laser history, with a blurry image, over-saturated fleshtones and a clumsy sound mix that was an insult to the vintage rock ‘n’ roll tunes playing throughout the film.
		I only dwell on 'More American Graffiti' because the only disc available is a poorly-cropped version, with an alternate musical soundtrack (not all of the copyrights were approved, so some music was re-scored for the 1991 video release).
		MCA neglected to letterbox 'More American Graffiti', and even though the film doesn’t hold a candle to its predecessor, it has its fans and, given the long-in-the-waiting reissue of 'American Graffiti' in widescreen, the time is ripe for a remastering of the sequel, too.

	DVD Savant Review: More American Graffiti
		More American Graffiti isn't really a sequel to the original, it's a sequel to the final 'what happened to them' titles that end the first film on a somber note, the titles that tell us that Terry the Toad and John Milner both meet violent ends.
		American Graffiti was sort of a fantasy, but not really; we who were there (okay, I was in the 7th grade) all recognized the feeings and the mythology in the first film.
		In More American Graffiti, the songs are just there to remind us what year it is. When it comes time for Candy Clark to talk about 'real' music in the story, she says the names of a bunch of phony made-up bands.

	More American Graffiti (1979) - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		While More American Graffiti is generally maligned by the original's staunchest of fans, as a film, the only terrible idea was the conception of a sequel to begin with.
		The other three stories go for more politically tinged storylines, dealing with Vietnam on both the home and war fronts, including the counter culture hippies that are a result of the desire to drop out of the reality of life for young people in the Sixties.
		More American Graffiti is not really a must see film, even if you thoroughly loved the first one.

	American Graffiti
		Lucas' second feature film, American Graffiti, was a self-assured gem that established him as a major director (though a lot of studios still didn't want to bankroll Star Wars, proving that studio execs weren't any smarter in the seventies than they are now).
		The average Americans depicted in Lucas' film were unaware of all the ground that was being broken, but they shared the confident attitude and restless spirit of the time.
		American Graffiti is a successful tribute to an era of optimism and competitiveness which was bitchin' -- and now seems very far in the past.

	American Graffiti Home Page (Unofficial) - The 55 Chevy
		The story of the American Graffiti '55 Chevy began in 1970 when three 1955 Chevy 150 sedans were built for the 1971 movie Two-Lane Blacktop by Richard Ruth of Competition Engineering in Sunland, California.
		The stunt car was used in the crash scene at the end of American Graffiti where it was towed for the rollover.
		The car is thought to still have the same L-88 427 engine, and is still equipped with the headers that were fabricated by Richard Ruth and are unique to the car, although the original Weiand tunnel ram and the hydraulic throttle linkage installed by Ruth have disappeared.

		Returning from the original American Graffiti are Debbie Dunham, Steve Bolander, John Milner, Carol/Rainbow, Terry the Toad and Laurie Bolander (Candy Clark, Ron Howard, Paul LeMat, Mackenzie Phillips, Charles Martin Smith and Cindy Williams), but Richard Dreyfuss is missing and Harrison Ford shows up in a gag cameo.
		The sequel brings its principles into the more radical end of the 1960s, with Steve and Laurie, now married, on the fringes of the protest movement.
		The unifying factors of the first American Graffiti are sacrificed in favor of an episodic approach to the storyline.

	Jedi Council Forums - Did American Graffiti really need a sequel?
		He had little or nothing to do with the actual filming but both he and Marcia Lucas were involved in the editing process which, if I recall it right, bored the director to death or something like that and Lucas and his then wife took over.
		It was more ambitious than "American Graffitti" in that it tried to reflect the whole decade of the 1960s in four separate stories set during four different New Year's Eves.
		"More American Graffitti" isn't all bad, but it seems to have descended into the realm of forgotten inferior sequels to great movies, like "The Sting II" and "Son of Kong".

	More American Graffiti (1979)
		An uncredited Marcia Lucas edited the split-screen scenes for the 1966 sequence (many of which were incorporated to cover up the story defects).
		from Alexandria, VA The final frames of the original "American Graffiti" provide one-line summaries of the fates of the film's four central male characters.
		While most of the original cast is back, with only Richard Dreyfuss having the good sense to stay away, "More American Graffiti" is a mess of silly situations that involve protests, car races, country singers, and the Vietnam war.

	More American Graffiti starring Ron Howard Cindy Williams directed by George Lucas
		Lucas handed over some rough notes on what he wanted to happen to his characters and told Norton that if he liked the script that he would be given the opportunity to direct the film as well.
		Lucas hung around on set while More American Graffiti was in production, but insisted that his involvement would be minimal and that all creative questions should be directed to Norton.
		More American Graffiti was a miserable box office failure and only broke even after the rights were sold to air it on television two years later.

	American Graffiti - 98.11
		More and more, reality comes to us not directly via the senses, but via the screen (on monitors at work, on our TVs at home) -- to the point that the interface elements themselves become a significant portion of the reality.
		Our media, too, are ever more persuasive in delivering the illusion, wrapping around us their high-resolution scenarios and overpowering our senses with digitally generated sound and image; the real world starts to look blanched in comparison.
		Of course, all threats to established mores and rituals arouse opposition.

		Anyone who has seen the timeless “coming of age” film classic, “American Graffiti”, directed by George Lucas, is bound to recognize Petaluma as the setting for many of the film's most memorable moments.
		It was made for less than $l million, earned more than $55 million and gave Lucas the financial backing to make his "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" serials and to establish the Bay Area special effects studio, Industrial Light and Magic.
		Prior to the More American Graffiti movie, the coupe went back to Orlandi’s body shop for a new paint job, same color but acrylic enamel replaced the lacquer.

		George Lucas served as executive producer for the 1979 sequel, titled "More American Graffiti," and a largely unknown director, B.W.L. Norton, took over as writer and director.
		"American Graffiti" is a rock and roll pop classic that evoked a time and place in history with warmth, genial humor and understated emotions - it is one of George Lucas's finest achievements.

	More American Graffiti Movie Review (1979) from Channel 4 Film
		Six years on from the witty, observant original, enough imitations had been spawned, so it seems almost wilful to have reunited many of the cast in a 1964-set rehash of the same premise.
		Here the small-town youngsters meet and argue over more serious issues than leaving home; possibly writer-director Norton wanted to reflect a decade in a state of change and fragmentation.
		He echoed this stylistically, dating the film more effectively with a 1960s-style split screen and other gimmicks than by the skimpy material.

	More American Graffiti Movie Poster
		This sequel to the wonderful masterpiece American Graffiti provides a bittersweet portrayal of what happened to the original characters after 1962, in a very unique way.
		More American Graffiti comes off not quite as masterfully as the original American Graffiti on a lot of levels, but it's still more than worth a look.
		The 1960's drag racing scenes filmed at Fremont, CA (Baylands) are great, and you'll love the great soundtrack with cameo appearances from Doug Sahm (Sir Douglas Quintet) and Country Joe and the Fish (gimmee an "F").
