Triumph trivia NGC
« on: January 04, 2021, 05:56:41 PM »
I just watched “Cogans Bluff” a 1967 Clint Eastwood movie.
There was a chase scene involving two Triumph motorcycles. One had a tack and one didn’t is about all I could see the difference in all the action.
Can anyone identify the two bikes?

The movie was "COOGAN'S Bluff" and filmed around the Cloister's Monastery, just outside NY City, and I believe the bad guy was on a Bonneville (twin carb) and Clint was on a TR6 (single carb) :wink:  Good chase scene!! :thumb: :cool:

"James Ringerman" (Don Stroud) was on a twin carb Triumph 500 (Daytona?), and "Coogan" (Clint Eastwood) was on a twin carb 650 Bonneville.

Don Stroud is one of the few actors who have appeared in "Hawaii Five-O (1968)" and "Hawaii Five-0 (2010)"

I always liked both the Daytona and Bonneville of that era, (1967-1970)...Here is my old 1970 "Trophy 500" T100C  that I regret selling a few years ago... :thumb: :cool: :wink:

I believe the sounds in the movie were actually that of the triumph bikes in motion. I know a lot of time the sounds  of the vehicle’s, horses hooves, etc are dubbed in?

That's like the sound editor putting a 4 cylinder accelerating away for a 1100Sport in Rush Hour w/the Chris Tucker character on it.  :tongue:
