Who said that in this movie? Sounds too ‘80s

That would be amazing, considering the movie was made in the early 70s.

Jay Cocks, the critic for Time Magazine ended his rave review like this:

"Bitchin'. Superfine."

My friends and I were saying "Bitchin" in the mid 1960s, and it might have been even older. My dad says that "Fuckin' A" was an expression in the 1940s.

Where I lived in southern California in the '60s, there was also the variation "twitchin'".

It was still used heavily in the 80s when my friends & I did tricks on our BMX bikes. People threw that word around alot during that time as an alternative to radical or awesome.

It's a totally boss word.
