- 72 Ford Gran Torino Sport footage from "Fear is the Key". Before you complain, yes this is not the complete chase scene. This is what the title says... Torino in action. If the Torino wasn't in the shot, I edited it out. Get it... Torino in action only!
Fear Is the Key is a 1972 British action thriller film directed by Michael Tuchner and based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Alistair MacLean. It stars Barry Newman and Suzy Kendall, with supporting roles by John Vernon, Dolph Sweet, and Ben Kingsley in his feature film debut.
The film did poorly in the US and VHS sales didn't last long and never went to DVD. Basically, no longer available in the US standard formats.
But, "Fear is the Key" is obtainable as Region 2 UK DVDs and as for the US goes, it appears on formats like HoloLens, PC, Mobile device, Xbox 360, etc... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Boy Barry Newman sure was lucky that the first unlocked car he found with the keys in it was a Ford Torino GT and not a VW Bug.
I wonder how many Torino GT’s they went through for that scene?
Scene continuity not very good 😌
I never realized very knew what was so anti Establishment. Lol
ask the ex rental company (lol
I never saw Barry Newman in another flick beside Vanishing Point. I bet he liked the Challenger a lot better!
I knew Kowalski wasn't dead at the end of Vanishing Point. Here he is, still driving it like he stole it. Another cool old car flick. Poor rino.........
Back when you could drive a sports car on a dirt road at high speed.
They were SUV's, XUV's, sedans and sports cars all rolled in to one.
There was a story about a guy who used his 440 B body wing car to tow his trailered 426 wing car.
Back when cars were nearly indestructible 😂
Back when you towed rv with two wheel drive cars.
RIP barry newman, You did two of the best car chases of all time.
Vanishing point and this one.
🙏🏿🙏🏿
I thought that was him!
Lol...that's how I drove my 72 Torino when I was a teenager...:-)
Hehehe
I'm imagine this in real life.
I had a blue one 351c didn't take the beating that one did though lol
My first car was a green '73 torino with a 351w when I was sixteen . Blew the motor doing a burn out ! My Dad taught me how to rebuild the engine . I've been a mechanic ever since ! Lots of great memories including getting laid in the back seat ! 🥴
Lol, me too! I blew up the 351c and put in a 428cj out of a 69 fairlane that was wrapped around a pole. Factory buckets and console and scoop. I was a dumbass and sold it when I bought a new mustang gt in 83. I think I got $600 for it because it was an old car and a gas guzzler according to every dealership I tried to trade it in.
Yeah, right!
One of the best car chases in cinema history. I think it went on for about twenty minutes originally.
This Torino is a MONSTER!!
more than likely had the 429 Cobra Jet engine and the C6 auto tranny
they did. my dad was an extra in the road construction scene where they crashed through the barrels. We spent ALL day at the foot of the Sunshine Bridge watching them crash over and over. If you blink, you will miss the entire shot my dad was in - lol
This was my buddies high school car in 2010 thru 2012. He had the oldest coolest car out of every one. Most people thought it was a mustang.. Got alot of good memories hot boxing and whipping that thing around.
I remember my freind in 1975 cruising us around in his jet black 351 cobrra jet 1972. that thing was awsome and comfortable.
My Favorite thing about old Muscle cars was simple vinyl Interiors, Dashboards, Ect.
Knocking down mail boxes; driving through people's back yards. Almost killed 20 law officers. He's got a broad in the car....
Probably get off with rap across the knuckles!
great chase seen and get away
this before political correctness...
My dad used to drive like this with us kids in the car....when he had to get to a restroom really bad
I think it's actually a woman who's in the car with him.
i was watching this clip...and i just started laughing
i think you needed a boat license to drive a car back in the 70's...
That Kowalski guy handled this Ford the same way he handled the Dodge....recklessly! lol!!
I always wanted a Torino… now I NEED a Torino. Man I miss how indestructible cars were back in the day.
The 72 Gran Torino and Rancheros are arguably 2 of the prettiest Fords from the 70s, at least in my opinion. I used to know a guy with a 500 series Ranchero (I think a 74?) Good looking project truck, I just couldn't get over the standard Torino front clip. Its like looking at Catherine Bach then giving her the Kardashian treatment
DAMMIT this is when America built fine family cars for the average criminal I miss real cars
This movie has always been hard to find. Driver of the Torino is the same guy who was Kowalski in the Original Vanishing Point.
From a Dodge Challenger to a ford Torino
@@BRENDAJASON1 a definite step down
@@joedq to a Gran Torino yes but a Torino Talladega SCJ not so much. By 72 even the Challenger was a shadow of its its 1st and 2nd years. 340 4bbl was top dog in 72 for the E body.
Very good you are absolutely right. I love that flick
I remember seeing this movie on some late-night TV, probably close to 30yrs ago or maybe more .
Totally forgot until the wooden board scene and then the memory came flooding back .
Love ya Kowalski!
That's one of those Bary Newman films like Vanishing Point. Almost forgot about this one. Love the 72 Fast Back Sport Torino. I had one. Car was dependable and I got looks from every one, especially the police.
Craig Pennington my dad after he gots his drivers license on his way to school he got a ticker for going 120 mph
Same here.. I bought mine in HS in the late 80s and was caught doing a pretty high speed - I was going over 100 but was clocked at less.. had to go to drivers education at night and pay a bunch of fines. Lessons learned at a young age with those old muscle cars
I remember watching this on late-night TV back in the late 70s.
I wonder how may Gran Torinos were wrecked for that scene. It almost looks like one, with the scene shot out of sequence and then edited because the bent frame after the jump is being driven through a lot afterwards. The original "Gone In 60 Seconds" uses one Mustang for the whole movie, so it can and has been done.
It seems old Fords were most film makers preferred cars when a serious beating was to be applied.
quite a few maybe. 1-2 for camera cars 1 maybe with modified suspension 1for beauty shots 1-backup and that's an average of 5. this is how many challengers they had for vanishing point 71 also with Paul Newman.
This mooovie is now avaaailable to waatch hereeee => twitter.com/883c91a386ba6c23a/status/822783361793933312
I would say 2.....observe the damage pattern....one column car and one floor console he jumped
Three Mustangs used in GISS but one highly modified car was used for the main stunt work.
I think it was 7 cars destroyed in the movie!
This is a distant cousin of the Falcon XB, aka "Mad Max Car".
I'm sooo late, but...
One of my High School cars (76-80) was a 73 Torino Sports Roof, Light Blue w/ a darker blue V-top, with "Laser Stripes". I called it the "Tomato" because of it's bulbous shape. I have to tell you, after killing the original smog pump 400 cid and replacing it with a 1968 high compression 429 Thunderjet out a T-Bird and adding a Shift Kit to the incredible C-6 Automatic. It became an amazingly FAST and FUN car!!! One of my favorite of ALL the cars I have owned. Thank you for posting this video, I have never seen or heard of this film. Brought back a LOT of fond memories.
I got to give this Grand Torino alot of respect
I like how once they bent the frame on the first jump they didn't switch cars like the Duke's of hazard did. Once it was bent they just kept jumping that Ford. It makes it way more realistic.
now that's a chase scene !
i know that feeling, own one right now, amazingly awesome car
GO RACE THEM DUKE BOYS, SHOW EM A FORD
season 1 episode 1 Bo races the General Lee against the Torino from Starsky and Hutch with Cooter at the wheel of the S&H Torino
I feel in love with the looks of that car at 17 and at 57 i still want one. I had two, 1st one at 19 front suspension was bad and i bounced going over railroad tracks and damaged the front cross member, the 2nd was sold to me without a title, I put a 400ci in it it ran good but I got tickets for no proof of insurance and improper plates 3 times in 2 1/2 ys. I blew the heads and parked it, tow thieves stole it.
BUILT FORD TOUGH......there, I said it!
Love 70's action. Today most cars became small ricers. Lol
Well a newer car might hold up better to the jumps but older car would last longer doing that kinda thing
I knew a 72 Sport with the 351C . What a beast those were
They still drive like this every day in cali
POOR CAR! I always feel sorry for these cars because of respect for the people who built them.
Built Ford Tough is a understatement for this beast of a Torino.
That looks some real driving ! =D
Awesome car! Awesome music! Awesome stuff! Just awesome!
Basically anyone after playing Driver and then getting their hands on a classic muscle car.
Man those 70's cars look heavy AF... look at that body roll on heavy cornering.
This guy was the driver in 'Vanishing Point'!
I remember, but this isn't the full one but it use to be on here cause after he jumps onto the boat he tells her ''I'm warning you,-dont you make a move''. and the guys would come over and he would say his wife is sick or something like that. but that's been years ago.
Classic! I used to have this movie on DVD...then gave them all away. Now I want it again. Not on Australian Netflix/Prime. Need to find a download I guess....
Very Best Video!!! Old & Great American Autotehnica!!! Reckless Speed & Freedom of Action -Inspire!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks! Enjoyed the video!
I've never seen a wooden ROAD before!
Wow! I have a 73 Torino, and that is some scary driving. Because this car is HUGE and maneuvers as fast as an aircraft carrier! Please dont speed in real life in one of these! Love the car alot though :)
When I was young some of my friends along with myself beat our cars in a not so different fashion, through woods and back roads. When I think of the things we did to those machines back then it scares me. I don't know if it were skill or just balls but no one got hurt.
Some of those cars were big ('73 Impala, '68 Torino Gt Fastback, '70 Monte Carlo, ,71 Chevelle wagon, '69 and '73 Mustang fastbacks). Wish we had those cars today.
+1400IntruderVS ahaha but three words sums it up. : The Good ol days. wish I coulda came up then,but my dad always tell me a story or two so I can dream about it...
Damn never seen this before but they drove the hell out of that thing. My dad has a 72 gran Torino he had forever. Now its a resto mod with a modern supercharged 5.4 gt500 engine and all the modern goodies. Google project breathless Gran Torino. More Goodies being added all the time.
This Torino was built like no other car nowadays. I imagine a brandnew F150 jump and running just twice as this classic Ford did.
I'm not a Ford guy but gotta love the gran torinos they where built like a brick
AT 6:14 the right fender and headlight is smashed, at 6:53 they are ok. They just don't make Fords anymore that are self-healing!
And in between that, the car's left headlight is busted but then becomes ok :-)
ace car built like a tank
Great find
Driver is Barry Newman/Kowalski...
Ford did a good job of giving that Torino an aggressive, mean looking face, but even without massive 5 MPH bumpers, that '72 is all over the road; I suspect that those Pontiacs would have been running rings around if falling behind had not been part of the plot. Great scream at 0:40, BTW.
Barry Newman was one hell-of-a-driver!!!!! I had a green one like that when I was in High School.
I heard rumors that Cary Loftin did most of the stunt driving
At 1:00 they pass a Plymouth cricket...aka Hillman Avenger... Chrysler sold very few in the USA.
Happy to see the car does not get magically repaired during the chase.
Sadly, I guess it's not quite true to say "No Gran Torino's were hurt in the making of this video" :-(
I had a 72 sport fastback just like it same color except I had a black vinyl roof. 351C 2bbl. Bought it in 1987 and kept it until about 2004. Should've held on to it. That car was a boat but a cool boat :). That Cleveland engine just wanted to be ragged on
Dude my first car was a 72 sport just like that one red too, must have been a popular color bought it for 600 bucks in 1988 paint was faded but boy did that Cleveland scream, had an aftermarket 4bbl and an almost new set of Hedmans, I remember on the way home from school beating this guys new 89 ss monte carlo like it was standing still god I loved those long straight Iowa roads you could bury your needle and just fly, now im getting all misty, I guess you never forget your first car.
@@LordDiamonds haha very cool. Yep I paid about $800 for mine back then and I was a senior in HS. A guy at school had a brand new Firebird his parents bought him. He thought it was the $hit until I embarrassed him one day after school.
Kowalski is driving, the cops will never take him alive
Dang I need that front end for my Ranchero.
I was cringing the whole time ! I have 72 'chero too and ...could've used a couple of those parts - before he got everything in a 5mile radius !! Lol !
I too own one. Also have a 72 Torino Wagon with buckets and a middle console..
You're very lucky to own not just 1, but 2 classics.
I was watching & though I clicked on an add video from the 70s LOL can you imagine if this was an add that’d be wild
Muy buena persecución! Ya no se filman ese tipo de escenas de persecuciones, ahora son todo trucos digitales y todo muy ficticio.
When cars had muscle and could only really handle well in a straight line.
Untrue. My '75 Ford Elite took a 90° turn at 50 M.P.H. and didn't squeal a tire. The cop that saw me do it even let me go.
After the test drive with his wife, Barry returned the car to the dealership and said he'd have a think about it 🤭
Used cars test drive scene in the 57 Chevy where they fry Luke Fuchs heart
Criminally underrated car chase.
I had one of those except for mine was a golden yellow with the laser stripe down the side of it. 72 Gran Torino
Driving sideways on that inclined plane must have felt weird.
Man, dig that crazy music!
Music plays an important part gives you Adrenaline too ❤❤❤
took that beating like a champ lol
These old Fords were tough. They use Fords a lot in chases because they stay together. The old Police Package LTDs were the best like in the early Dirty Harry movies.
I believe the used more then 3 cars just in between shots in one frame the chassis is bent 6 degrees in one fram the front right fender is beat beyond repair the other frame shows the fender damage less severe and i am not saying where the shifter went missing lmao
I wish they didn't kill the car. Back then they were as numerous as Honda Civic's and Ford cars were used more than anything else. Too bad we can't get a new one. Such a sweet ride. My friend in H.S. had a 1970 Torino GT. THOSE WERE.THE DAYS
I thought he was racing against the general lee with all this continuous off-road and jumping
That Torino copped an absolute flogging
they beat the hell out of that Torino
It'll buff out
I'm sure that torino had suffered a bent frame just from one hard landing in the chase!
I dont want to be another complainer but goddamn man... you cut out the part where that Bonneville whips a backwards 180 and the tire mashes the curb. Right when he's getting off the barge.
It’s one of the best bits of the chase.
A few hrs. on the car-o-liner and that Torino will be arrow straight, lol.
Wow they drove the car even after they buckled the front! Hardly ever see that in a film
RIP Kowalski
I'll pick this car as my '70's fav--"72 Gran Torino Sport SportsRoof with Laser Stripe. Color Name and VIN Code: Bright Green Gold Metallic 4B
upload the FULL chase scene. please??? thank you.
Would love to see this made today, but with todays brakes, suspension, tires, and horsepower
I don't mean to pee in you Cheerios but new cars wouldn't hold up like this. Crumple zones are an action sequence's worst nightmare. I like where your mind is at though.
They wouldn't take this punishment. The skirting and bumpers and grills would have come off the moment they hit the first pot hole , plus the airbags and flat tyres on low profile wheels.
It's too much pain in the ass computers if you don't unhook things correctly the airbags will pop in your face while you're trying to do something
Baby Driver?
I have this movie on DVD👍
Great car, bad movie... just my opinion. I'm a tough movie screener and former owner of a Ford Gran Torino Sport 351 Cleveland, 4-Barrel , C6 Tran. Pushed it over the 125 mark on speedometer. Needle would just bounce easily against the 125mph peg.
A lovely car....
i asked for the FULL chase scene & you did NOT deliver. i wanna know why.
I'm more interested in the 1969 Catalina persuit vehicle.
He turned that Ford into a red banana.
Mt show, esse vídeo!
One has a column shift, in another scene it's a floor
Tim Priddy I noticed that too.
Continuity still wasn't on the chase scene priority list at least details like that. Best early chase scene continuity is Gone In 60 Seconds (1974), single take though multiple cities.
Barry Newman killed the film cameras screen at 29 sec but couldn't kill the Torino
They should pay to a car, cause car seems to be an main actor :D
The police wanted him to pull over, but not for speeding. They just wanted to test drive it.
In one movie he destroys a 71 challenger now in this one he destroys a Torino.
Movie came out in 71 vanishing point where he’s hot rodding a white challenger and getting chased by the cops like he’s doing in this movie with the Torino
I think car tires were much more robust back then. Nowadays the slightest bump and the bulge or blow.
built ford tuff
I got my 72 sport in the middle of restoration or preservation! What ever you may call it.
The cops were in 69 Catalina's,
Sweet!!
Im sure someone already noticed but the cam lens gets cracked at 00:30
That rear valence is the worst to beat dents outa!
Frame bent @3:30 I wonder if those pontiacs had 455s in them
