Dragin' On The Dragon

Found these stills under "The Dragon In The Movies" tab on the Tail of the Dragon website.  Hadn't noticed them before, so here's a post to highlight them (to the huge readership of this blog  ;-)).  Stills from The Fugitive and other films shot on and around the Dragon are under the same tab.

Saw Two Lane Blacktop twice (on TV, years apart).  Not the most memorable of movies, i.m.o.  Of course  the scenery was lovely, but I didn't connect it with any particular place.  I'm in the tank for '55 Chevy gassers; can't think of a place where it would be less fun to drive one than on the Dragon.  But it's a great backdrop...

The '55 gasser on the old, one-lane, "Fugitive Bridge."  Pilings for this one are visible from the new one.

Double-yellow Fail at "Fugitive Dam."

Slayer--not.

Action shot on the Little Tennessee, near Tallassee TN, west of Calderwood Dam.

Exterior scene-setting shot of the yellow Goat/Judge, the '55's bete noir, in front of "Crafton's."  This was the Deals Gap
Motorcycle Resort several iterations before it became the DGMR.

Above and below: two Killboy.com shots of a Two Lane Blacktop tribute car on the Dragon.  Great car, nicely done,
but the wrong sword for Slaying.  As he so often does, Killboy slays the images.
