Fun fact: in Con Air, the John Cusack character had a 1st generation VW Rabbit GTI. It may not sound exotic, but that was a cool car back in the day, and those are now collectible because so few of them are left.
this is one of the times Id prefer they just used CGI instead of destroying amazing cars. Also, surprised they didnt include the car from the movie Christine. I think they went through quite a few classics for that one.
The second gen isn’t just the best looking of the earlier gen Vettes, it’s the best looking Vette ever made, and one of the most beautiful cars ever made, especially the ‘63 Split Window coupe.
Maybe because I'm a Chevy enthusiast, I'm a bit impartial. But destroying a already vintage 67 Corvette is a travesty!🤔 Considering the year the movie was made, come on man!😢 Even the 87 Lamborghini Countach! These cars were already out of production and were in limited numbers 😪
It's not that bad when they crash normal production cars that are common, like the CGT, Phantom or Huracan, but it's really stupid when they purposely and unnecessarily destroy rare and valuable cars, the likes of which will never be made again, just for the sake of a 2 minute scene, like the C2 Corvette, the Murciélago LP640 or the 25th Anniversary Countach.
Someone bid 1.35 million dollars for the crashed Countach? The only stupider decision is that of the person who wouldn't let it go for that price... YIKES!!!
We all took those for granted. My friend back in the mid-80s had a 1974 ex-CHP car. He ended up abandoning it when it stranded him one too many times. But look at all of the ones absolutely smashed in the original 'Blues Brothers' not to mention numerous other epic films like the 'Smokey and the Bandit' franchise films. I think we all took it for granted that there were hundreds and hundreds of thousands of them, but in reality, cop car versions were fairly rare as compared to the civilian versions. In the 70s, the cop car versions were the performance machines but they seemed to all get scooped up by companies that lease or sell stunt cars for TV and films not to mention the large studios.
Not sure why they didn't just use a kit-car Lamborghini. Those were somewhat plentiful back in the 80s and 90s and I am sure one could have been found and rigged up to run and get wrecked using a Chevrolet smallblock. The actor Eddie Griffin wrecked a Ferrari Enzo filming some PR (not even for the actual film) for a forgotten action movie called 'Redline'. It was the producer's personal car and worth over $1M back in the early 2000s. A real 1960s Aston Martin DB5 was wrecked (it may have been restored) in a stunt accident for the film 'The Cannonball Run'.
The Dodge Monacos they used were actual police cars. Back in the early, middle, and late malaise era (getting to the mid to late 70s), the closest things to muscle cars that the auto companies were making were actual police cars. So they really were not as plentiful as the civilian cars, and it seems like film companies got hold of numerous ex-police cars which got destroyed over the years, sadly. But, as far as the other cars wrecked in the show, there were PLENTY of cars that would bring a pretty penny nowadays that were not the studio patrol cars. I do recall one late 70s episode which featured a 'hearthrob' (in real life they used Leif Garret who was in fact a real-life hearthrob, although he played a ficticiously named singer for that episode) who drove a Ferrari GTO as I do not believe they even had replicas of that car at that time. Fortunately, the car was NOT touched...whew!!
Ppl will cry when they see R&D centers of car manufacturers. I saw one crushee 911, dismantled Cullinan and half cut Bentayga when I went on a business trip to one of the R&D center
Required in order to import to the United States. You can thank the government dingbats for that one, specifically for protection of pedestrians, presumably drunken pedestrians that can't stay out of the way of cars? Too bad they can't keep their fingers out of what amounts to individual state's decisions.
I hate it when Hollywood destroys these rare works of art.
@Luis_257some
Same but fr
Then make them stop.
Just for some movie 🤦🏻
And the movie isn't popular
how to make a car guy depressed:
Fr😢
That LP640 used in the Batman movie was a gated manual car too making it that much more rare and essentially doubling the price of the car
In modern times anyway
Am i the only one who cares more about the ram 3500 cummins turbo diesel pickup truck than the lambo?
@@TheATSEnthusiastyes
@@TheATSEnthusiastI care
Dang

In 1983, '58 Plymouths weren't worth anything. Fast forward to now and because of the movie, you can't touch rusted junk for cheap anymore.

You know what else was expensive that was destroyed at 4:51? Ford crown Victoria police interceptors.
Hollywood: Great stunt everyone!
Also Hollywood: NEED MOAR EXPENSIVE CARS TO DESTROY!!!

True but same for so many movies and series, dukes of hazard' chargers , smokey and the bandit trans am's (and every other car they wrecked😅)

Or any oldsmobile.
Thanks for the video, and getting the Le Mans story right.

It's not worth destroying any cars to make these crappy films, let alone rare and special cars.
I hate is even more when they destroy rare cheap things like 70's Dodge Monacos.

aston martin remade the bond car with all the gadgets available for sale. i think they only made 10 of them
I thought they only made 007 of them..
Sorry I couldn't resist
And people wonder why Godzilla Minus One cost 10 million, while an American movie costs 400 million.
Hollywood : Nice crash guys... now next scene
Vin Diesel : Family ... hold my beer ...
Hold my Corona*
To quote @The History Guy, History, that deserves to be remembered.
I’m less upset about the huracan because they made a bajillion of them, but the countach? Savages.
Just perfect. Great video!
Glad you liked it!
I hate when movies destroy crown Vic’s meanwhile I’m looking for a crown Vic on Craigslist in good condition for 3 or 5 k 😐
Miss. My. Crown Vic
Crazy
The Lamborghini Countach is my dream car 🚙.
I'm a pretty tough car guy, so I'm glad y'all can't see my crying right now.
When you count all the cars Hollywood has destroyed, i think you can create a mountain.
For me, the 67 Corvette was the saddest.
Hollywood:"ITS just a car"
The car..

I’ve been watching Chips on tv lately, though the cars they destroyed weren’t expensive some still hold value in the classic car market!!!

6:05 Banging up an Excursion is a tad costly all by itself.
One of the DB10 was exhibited in London at the time. Very elegant indeed.
and the crashed lambo would cost over 500 grand to restore from wolf of wall st
Why is it always the lamboe :(
Pretty soon the dodge ram will be worth more then the Lamborghini
Old movies makes some sense but from the 2000s they could use a replica and CGI
Which car will you save?
What's with the big ugly front bumper on the lambo in wolf of wall street?

It's us spec bumper
Not really fitting for a lot of cars
Yes, a certain era of super cars could only be sold in the US if they had the mandatory '5 mph' bumper. Not anymore thankfully.
Womp womp
Ow
Who is narrating this? Sounds like that conservative comedian J.P Sears
