Перевод: Михалёв Алексей Михайлович

Это самый дорогой фильм, снятый Мэлом Бруксом. Бюджет его составил 22,7 миллиона долларов. Ходили слухи, что Мэл Брукс собирается снять продолжение к фильму. Слух был пущен авторами фильма, что характерно для творческого состава, достаточно вспомнить рекламу несуществующего продолжения на финальных титрах фильма «Всемирная история». Однако, продолжение вышло в 2008 году - в виде мультсериала. Когда президент Скруб встречает близнецов, он призывает их «жевать свою жвачку». Это намёк на рекламу жевательной резинки Doublemint, в которой тоже появляются близнецы. Фамилия президента - анаграмма фамилии исполнителя этой роли и режиссёра фильма Мела Брукса. Сам Брукс сыграл в этом фильме две роли: президента Скруба и мастера Йогурта. Мел Брукс написал сценарий картины за шесть месяцев. Прежде чем делать пародию на «Звёздные войны», он попросил Джорджа Лукаса дать разрешение на это. Тот же, будучи большим поклонником творчества Брукса, прочитал сценарий и одобрил его. Компания Джорджа Лукаса Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) специально для этого фильма сделала лазерные мечи. Сцена, в которой Тёмный Шлем играет с куклами, отсутствовала в сценарии. Эта идея пришла в голову Мелу Бруксу на съёмочной площадке. Когда он рассказал о ней Моранису, тот сыграл весь эпизод на полной импровизации. Костюмом Барфа управляли три человека. Кэнди манипулировал хвостом при помощи устройства, спрятанного в его «лапе», а двое ассистентов приводили в движение уши. Костюм был подключен к батарее весом в 30 фунтов, расположенной на спине Кэнди. В одном из эпизодов Одинокий Стар говорит, что он родился «где-то в Галактике Форд». Эта фраза служит шутливой отсылкой к модели автомобиля с похожим названием (Ford Galaxie 500). Пряжка на ремне полковника Сандурца по своей форме напоминает Нобелевскую премию. В переводе Михалёва президента именуют как Дрист, Челобаку как Блюэ, планету как Жуидию.

'64 Ford Galaxie 500 ///427 restoration

The Ford Galaxie is a full-sized car that was built in the United States by Ford for model years 1959 through to 1974. The name was used for the top models in Ford's full-size range from 1958 until 1961, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race. For 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge, with "500" and "500/XL" denoting the higher series. The Galaxie 500/LTD was introduced for 1965 followed by the Galaxie 500 7-Litre for 1966. The Galaxie 500 prefix was dropped from the LTD in 1966, and from the XL in 1967; however the basic series structuring levels were maintained. The "regular" Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford's mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year. The Galaxie was the competitor to the high-volume full sized Chevrolet Impala. and the Plymouth Belvedere. Model year 1964 was the fourth and final year of this body style. Interior trim was altered, and the exterior featured a more sculpted look which was actually designed to make the car more aerodynamic for NASCAR. The formal-roof "boxtop" style was no longer available, all non-wagon models now featuring the "fastback" roof design that was the runaway best-seller in 1963. The base 300 was replaced by a line of Custom and Custom 500 models. The 289 continued as the base V8 and was standard in the XL series. XL models got new thin-shell bucket seats with chrome trim. Federal regulations now required lap-style safety belts for both front outboard occupants. The ignition switch was moved from the left side of the steering column, to the right, but otherwise the attractive instrument panel remained unchanged from '63. The 1964 XL two-door hardtop became the best seller of any XL produced in any year. The 427 cu in (7.0 l) engine was used in 50 lightweight fiberglass-equipped cars for drag racing. These competed in North America but were still too heavy and Ford introduced the lightweight Fairlane Thunderbolt. The Ford Country Squire station wagon, while wearing "Country Squire" badging, was actually part of the Galaxie 500 line. Some Country Squires had "Galaxie 500" badging on the glovebox indicating the series name. These station wagons featured the same trims as Galaxie 500s, and were a step up from the base-model Country Sedan.

Over the course of about 20 years, the LTD name filtered through dozens of family Fords. It started as an unexpected Luxury version of the regular Ford, but beginning in 1968 it began to gradually take over the whole big Ford universe. The LTD, being a family car, is less well remembered than the Mustang or Bronco today, but the idea kick-started the “Brougham” concept, a regular car that was gilded like a luxury machine and priced within reach of mass-market buyers. The first LTD debuted in 1965, and by the time this ‘68 was built, had inspired imitators from GM, Chrysler, and even AMC. The original #FordLTD of 1965 had come as a surprise to both buyers and critics. A new top trim on the Galaxie, it was not substantively different from the other big Fords in any mechanical respect. Nor was it the most expensive big Ford, that honor fell to the mighty Galaxie 7-Litre. But it was about $400-500 more than the regular Galaxie, enough to buy a good used car in those days. Tor that money buyers got lots of differences they could see and feel - namely special cloth, deep carpets, vinyl tops, special badges, and lots of gear. There had always been loaded big Fords, but the LTD, sprung from the market-reading mind of Lee Iacocca, was specifically sold on “luxury,” with Lincoln-like extras. Costing little more to build than the humble Ford Custom it was a low-overhead, high-profit recipe, like GMC’s Yukon Denali today. More than 100K were sold in ‘65, and it became its own nameplate in 1967. By then it had inspired Chevy’s Caprice, Plymouth’s VIP, and AMC’s Ambassador DPL. The LTD would evolve quickly in the late 1960s as Ford moved to expand the concept. In 1968, the car was heavily restyled even though a complete redesign would be introduced for 1969, and the LTD started to branch out, with some formerly standard bits being reworked into the “LTD Brougham” package. The ‘68 look previewed some of the changes for 1969, but as a result of that new design, the 1968 models are rather unique, with some of the older elements and some of the newer ones, like hidden headlamps. Future LTDs would splinter into many more variations, and by 1976 all big Fords were LTDs. (at Juanita Beach Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhqq3vli_S/?igshid=11w13ci3jfczz

Chevrolet's Caprice was more than just an Impala with a fancy roofline - Bill Rothermel @Hemmings

Chevrolet’s Caprice was more than just an Impala with a fancy roofline – Bill Rothermel @Hemmings

A unique roof for GM’s bestseller Chevrolet introduced the new Caprice Custom Sedan in February 1965 at the Chicago Auto Show. The GM brand took a page from its own playbook much like it had in 1958, when it introduced the Impala, an upmarket trim level for the existing top-of-the-line Bel Air. The Caprice, a jazzed-up Impala, was Chevrolet’s answer to the new Ford Galaxie 500 LTD, introduced at…

Ford Galaxie 500

Estrela do Salão do Automóvel de São Paulo de 1966, ele fazia com que os vizinhos morressem de inveja.

Aqueles que estiveram no V Salão do Automóvel, em novembro de 1966, tiveram a sensação de ter aplicado muito bem os 1000 cruzeiros pagos pelo ingresso. 

Os carros e peças de carros expostos eram de acelerar o coração: o esportivo Uirapuru, o sofisticado sedã Esplanada, a limusine Itamaraty Executivo, o arrojado Puma e até o Onça, um esquisito protótipo que lembrava um Mustang, montado sobre um chassi do FNM 2000. 

Mas era no estande da Ford que estava a estrela maior, o Galaxie 500. A grande carroceria de linhas retas e a grade que preenchia toda a frente encantou o público e a crítica e desbancou a atenção dada ao Opala. E se o Ford agradou parado, no Salão, quando foi para as ruas, arrasou.

Com um espaço generoso, macio e silencioso ao rodar, o Galaxie estabeleceu um novo padrão de conforto. “Dá para dirigir com apenas um dedo”, diziam os primeiros felizardos que experimentaram o carro, referindo-se à direção hidráulica, uma novidade nos carros nacionais de então.

Ainda hoje o Galaxie impressiona pelas qualidades que fizeram sucesso na época do lançamento. O espaço dos bancos é mais do que suficiente para seis pessoas e poderia acomodar até oito passageiros. O quebra-vento, acionado por uma manivela, ou a luz que ilumina o isqueiro são detalhes que impressionaram na época.

Porém, nada supera o painel, com o velocímetro de escala horizontal, uma solução típica dos carros americanos dos anos 60. O câmbio é manual, de três marchas – a transmissão automática era exclusividade do LTD, a versão mais luxuosa, lançada em 1968 –, e o freio de mão é no pé: pisa-se para travar e puxa-se uma alavanca debaixo do painel para soltá-lo. 

A direção leve esterça o bastante para compensar o tamanho do carro, um modelo 1968 com o motor de 164 cavalos, o primeiro e menos potente dos motores que equiparam a linha, que chegou aos 199 cavalos na famosa versão do Motor Ford 302 canadense. Mas ele anda bem, apesar do seu peso de 1780 kg, desde que se pise com decisão no acelerador.

O “500” que compõe o nome do carro é uma alusão às provas de longa duração muito comuns nos Estados Unidos – como as 500 Milhas de Daytona – nas quais o carro logo ganhou fama de vencedor, batendo os famosos motores Chevy 350

O Galaxie surgiu em 1959 como uma versão do Ford Fairlane. Fez tanto sucesso que ficou independente já no ano seguinte. A família cresceu com as versões duas portas, conversível e quatro portas sem coluna.

Depois do Galaxie e do LTD, veio o LTD Landau, em 1971, o top da linha. Sua marca registrada era o pequeno vidro traseiro e o “S” em cada coluna C. A partir de 79 somente o Landau continuou a ser produzido. 

No dia 14 de janeiro de 1983, os revendedores Ford receberam um comunicado assinado pelo gerente geral de vendas da fábrica que anunciava o final da produção do Landau. 

No total, 77850 Galaxie saíram da linha de montagem da fábrica da Ford no Ipiranga, em São Paulo. O que consola os fãs do Galaxão é que muitos continuam rodando macio e com saúde até hoje.
