Everything about Boogie Nights has to do with the '70s, and sure enough, that extends to the poster, too.

Does Velvet Smooth really have a guest star called Emerson Boozer? It seems so. He was an actual person:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson_Boozer
And he still is, because he's still alive. But he was as well.
Shove It dates from the tiny, tiny window of time when it seemed that Robert Hays might go on to be a major comedy star. And for a brief moment he was, because next year he was in Airplane II, which at least made a profit if not very much money. And then, oblivion.

Noticing the name on the truck there, leading me to interesting details in Wikipedia articles
"The original Bigfoot appears in the 1981 film Take This Job and Shove It, where it appears as the main character's personal truck. This was the first appearance of a monster truck in film. A virtual Bigfoot is used by the character Aech inside the virtual reality universe OASIS in the 2018 film Ready Player One. Other appearances by Bigfoot trucks in film include Cannonball Run 2, Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment, Road House, Police Academy 6: City Under Siege, Tango & Cash, and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle."
I don't think I heard about monster trucks until the 90s, but that wasn't my mien at the time.

Afraid I did miss out! But maybe I did hear about monster trucks in the eighties? Like wrestling, which seemed to be getting big in the eighties, but became such a phenomenon in the next decade it eclipsed its earlier pop culture status.

This one, for a 1990 film alternately known as Hot Sneakers and The Mile Ahead, isn't quite what this thread celebrates, but it has some of the same energy. Plus, here's the plot description:
Geeky accountant with a boring life is given a pair of magic red sneakers by an angel, which turns him into an amazingly fast runner. He enters an important race and soon is noticed by the CIA and the KGB.
