This is in my opinion the best car movie ever made. What makes this movie great is that all the cars are real, there are no fakes made out of lesser cars, and that this movie is very interactive. Chuck Bail wanted to make sure you really felt his movie. You hear the engines, see the dials and needles moving within them. You see the pedals being pushed, and the shifters being slammed in to each gear as the actors go up and down the box. My favorite parts of this scene are when Bannon cuts..
One of my all time favorite movies. HOWEVER, they conveiniently forget that the Ferrari left the garage in New York 10 seconds AHEAD of the Cobra. Because it's a rally, not "technically" a race, to win, the Ferrari would have to be 10+ seconds ahead at the end. Still, it's a great scene on so many levels.
@@kartaku132 Yes, when Franco took off with that lady in the Mercedes, his friend Smitty did lose some time. That however, does not negate my point: the Ferrari left the garage in New York 10 seconds ahead of the Cobra, so it needs to be 10+ seconds ahead at the finish in order to be considered the winner.
I read several years ago that except for the crash scenes, the actors insisted and were allowed to do all of the actual driving themselves, including blasting through Manhattan. There was also a rumor that in the original movie draft, the Jaguar XKE was supposed to finish third. But because of the trash Lucas electrical system in the Jaguars of that era, they really couldn't get the car to run, and no other XKE's were available on short notice, so the script was altered during filming.
I read somewhere else that the Jaguar was going to be the car driven by the two girls, but I don't remember which problem the producers had with the brand and they scripted the Jaguar as the car that won't start as some form of revenge.
Gumball Rally is my father's Chuck Bail film and he took the time to record all the motors, revs, etc I still have the Gumball Rally trophy full of gumballs. I'm not a movie memorabilia collector. If anyone interested in it for collection or clubhouse contact me and let's talk.
I love that film! My entire life, I dreamed of owning a Ferrari Dayton. In fact, I didn't end up marrying a women with big boobs. Movies verses reality. Movies win every time.
An AC Cobra Coupe was calculated to have done 186 mph (299 km/h) on the M1 motorway in 1964,the Ferrari could reach 280 km/h (174 mph)- 427 side oiler NASCAR engine vs. 4.4 litre small v-8 -there is no replacement for displacement
Franco off, and Tim Mcintyre gets pissed. God Dammit, that's a cheap move. Then you hear the Ferrari screaming, and Tim tells Franco, "TAKE HIM", and then you see Raul slam the lever in to 4th, and the needle on the speedo jump from 100 to 120 mph.
love this movie, i much rather own the cobra then the ferrari, even though the ferrari would win, the cobra top end is slower then the ferrari top end, the cobra would last longer on a rally just a crazy amazing car
What a blonde! Franco is too strong. I have the film translated into Italian too. When he explains to Smith the first rule of the Italian guide, in the Italian version it is too funny, because he has a Neapolitan accent, and says: This is the first rule of the Italian guide; (detaches the rearview mirror and continues the phrase)... *If you care who’s behind you, you’re only a big fool!* In italian: *Se ti importa di chi stà appress' s'ì sultant' 'nu gran fess!*
Unfortunately the Daytona was totaled near the end in the LA River. You can easily see how it could not gain control. This day, they would have fixed it. It wasn’t worth much as a 2 to 3 year old car when this movie was made in 1976. They rented it from the owner. The very end of the movie was a replacement. The 90 degree concrete angle of the river bent the chassis. Ferrari could have fixed it, but not worth it back then. Only 121 Spiders were built. Probably most are left. All 121 were originally coupes, and Ferrari chopped the top to create a spider. Stupid way to build a car. It was much heavier, and had excessive body roll. Realistically you are only paying for the 4.4 litre sound this particular Ferrari makes like no other Ferrari. The new ones sound like a motorcycle!
Yes it did have damage from the river smash so they bought another car to carry on filming for 35,000 dollers and swapped the interiors around because they where both different but the Ferrari that crashed was fixed up but was indeed totalled in the film a star is born in the same year 1976 and was made into nart spider which is sad.the backup car is still going very strong.
I didn't know this exact story but yeah whenever I see the Ferrari descending the ramp into the river with that angle and at that speed I always think that can't be good for the chassis, specially of a convertible.
Does anybody notice in this movie there were no Japanese imports in the race, or hardly at all in any of the scenes? During that time and period, American, British, German, and other imports cars were dominant, unlike today. So... I guess the tip off of the Japanese invasion is near the end of the race when Raul and the crew get roadblocked by a consession of Japanese tourist! The best part, all cars in this movie were 100% real, no fakes... And that includes the pairs on the blonde... :)
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor Yeah most Japanese cars were commuter cars At that time the only real Japanese sports car you could get your hands on in the US was the 240Z, The Supra and Rx7 didn't come until 78 and the 2000GT was so rare (think only like 50 were sold outside Japan) they were never on the road
I was getting Linda Vaughns autograph at the Bakersfield Hotrod reunion, she told me when she did this movie Raul Julia didn't know how to shift a manual trans. so she taught him how to operate a manual transmission. True Story..
When you count the time difference of when they started , the Ferrari still won. I love this movie. But it always bothered me that they got this wrong.
The Ferrari took off before the Cobra so the Cobra did win. It off ten seconds before the Cobra. When they were together waiting for the people to move out of the way, the Cobra had surpassed those ten seconds that the Ferrari had the advantage on.
To ODIE the kz400 is a KAWASAKI from JAPAN -ridden by Lapchic the mad Hungarian and the times are correct the Daytona left NYC 1st so all the Cobra had to do was cross line ahead of Cobra to beat them and since we don't see when the Porsche actually finishes most of the others were DNF -seen it too many times and have original poster on wall framed in living room -sad that most in this movie are dead now
That was KH400 two stroke triple. KZ400 was a twin four stroke. Kawasaki triples had lousy gas mileage, though KH400 had the best of the lot, about 32 mpg.

Absolutely!...what's behind me is not important!...❤
The movie that made me a raul Julia fan. Rest in peace brother.
Raul Julia steals every scene he's in.
God Bless, got to meet Linda Vaughn at Pomona many yrs later, my God ,what A pretty woman .
She was still a something when I
met her. I used to have a poster
she autographed for me, and a girlfriend ripped it up she was so jealous
I Also Like Lynda Weismeier And I Had The Pleasure At A Trucking Show Of Meeting HER!!
@@maxpinson5002 I Still Have MY Autographed Lynda Weismeier Poster.
And I Myself Was Lucky To Have Met And Got Pic With The Now Late LYNDA WEISMEIER At The 1984 INTERNATIONAL TRUCKING SHOW, ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER.
Yes...I will miss him always...great man...
4.4 Liter V-12 Vs 427 Bog Block...the coolest engine sounds ever! That Ferrari downshifting is like music!
4.4 Litre Is 265 Cubic Inches.

no if you remember earlier in the movie the driver of the Ferrari f**** off to go fool around with some women and it cost them sometime

@@snowrocket I think I know what you mean now and if I'm remembering the movie correctly the Ferrari didn't the Cobra got the win
I always thought that Gumball Rally as the thinking man’s Cannonball Run. Hats off to Linda Vaughn(Emergency Plan Alpha)
Smoking a pipe and running fast... Take that Fast and furious !!!
Lmao 😂
Linda Vaughn = epic rack. And they were real, too.
Ditto The Late LYNDA WEISMEIER!!
The original "Ford v Ferrari" movie.
RIGHT!!?😂❤
You'll never get that kind of sound and racing with electric cars
Not yet! Technology has a way of doing surprising things
Today's Formula One cars sound so ugly that even Formula E sounds better
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor Formula E Sucks!
Electric Cars: The BANE OF THE FUTURE!!!
I'm afraid Franco was smitten with the bouncing boom booms!
The real Ford vs Ferrari

Emergency plan Alpha, Linda Vahgun.
No cgi true hp at it's finest
The 12 who unlike r fans of public transport
And fans of Greta
0:23 Two incredibly fast cars from back in the day being overtaken by a Datsun 510 on an offramp.
Like That Yellow Big Block 600 HORSEPOWER L78 402 CAMARO!!
I'll Take A Plan Alpha Like That Anyday! Yum!!! lol

My God listen to that V8 and check out the rack. haha. A real classic collectors car lovers flick.
Obviously, Franco won....
that blue ford flying along all dirty on that LA freeway is heaven. angles and scenery was really something in this movie.
Franco lost the race... but he got the booby prize.
They conveniently forgot about the stagger start time differences... :)
Vance Ray Ferarri left first
Mike H No, the Camaro left NYC first
Yes but the Ferrari left before the Cobra.
The Cobra had Emergency Plan Alpha standing by in Long Beach
It is such a beautiful design to bad it just won't run!
I wonder where the EV finished?? Probably still charging outside of New York City. 😂😂 One of the best car movies ever!
AHHH the great Linda Vaughn!!!
Franco: La Bellissima!
I am sitting in front of the Queen Mary right now watching this.
I love that film! My entire life, I dreamed of owning a Ferrari Dayton. In fact, I didn't end up marrying a women with big boobs. Movies verses reality. Movies win every time.

It´s a 4,4 Litre V12
I don't think a Cobra would reach a greater top speed than a Ferrari since at high speeds aerodynamics get very important
It's A 265 CID V12!
The Ferrari probably gets closer to 200 mph but the Cobra can’t be touched low end 0-60 off the light.
great film ,
Lovely Linda Vaughn!
Ms Hurst shifter herself..
Landy Racing Channel I'm not so sure that's her, amazing lookalike, though,
jennifersman screen shots of emergency plan alpha are posted by her on her facebook page (7/23/14) so i think it may be her.
it is her.
@Ramubay
Yeah! All natural, baby!
muy divertida ... ME ENCANTA ÉSTA PELÍCULA!!!

And Then There's PLAN ALPHA!!.....
love this movie, i much rather own the cobra then the ferrari, even though the ferrari would win, the cobra top end is slower then the ferrari top end, the cobra would last longer on a rally just a crazy amazing car
ahh to have both of those cars dirty like that in the same garage today.
I'd have stopped for her too...
Linda Vaughan!!!!
Raúl precioso.
I love no CGI. Could you imagine this with electric cars
Oh, I would have loved to have known Emergency Plan Alpha back in the '70s!
There isn't enough Emergency Plan Alpha in my life.
That Camaro was really moving , an expert driver and well prepared car
That Was A 600 Horsepower Big Block 402 Chevrolet!!
The Cobra would eat it alive.
What a blonde! Franco is too strong.

The Ferrari is fine, but the Cobra is King.
And the Jag " prince of darkness".... still can't/ won't Start🏴🚩
I love this movie
Luv this scene....
And Linda Vaughn
PLOT HOLE : the Ferrari has actually won because it started minutes behind the Cobra at beginning
Una loca carrera con autos muy veloces!

odiemodie1 Great catch on the Japanese tourists. I think you're right!
This film is from the 1970's and in that time Japanese cars weren't still that popular in the US
There was only the Kawasaki ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding.
