I always get a kick out of watching films that were released in the year I was born. Indeed 1977 was a good year for movies. Star Wars and Smokey and The Bandit to name a few.
The red and white Charger...They used 2 different models. There is a base model with the standard taillights and a 500 or R/T with the special taillights. Thanks for posting this clip. I've never heard of this movie.
This is one of those car chase movies where you’re never entirely sure if some of the crashes were intentional since those were fairly expensive cars. Definitely a nod to Halicki’s Gone In 60 Seconds in a few places.
I agree. Almost every stunt sequence looks like the stunt team studied "Gone" several times over....even the '72 Eldorado jumping out the concrete tube into the makeshift pond in slo-mo is a tribute to Eleanor ending the 40 minute chase scene.
Great pity cant get the full movie as its excellent viewing i recorded this originally when it first came out so must have been a TV movie originally hope someone will put the entire film up to see some time worth watching gain and again
@@paxhumana2015 I don't think we can call it that.It was and still is a much sought after classic commanding big money. It was scooped up by many celebrities when it came out much like the E Type and with its 440 engine it's a Refined British interpretation of a Muscle Car
@@steveluckhurst2350 Well yes but they are hardly in the same league and are only owned by dedicated enthusiasts and would never hold value like an Interceptor
@Rick Greenway and @Ronald Perrin, if you two think that the music sucks in those movies, listen to damn near anything that is out today...99 percent of that shit makes the music in that movie sound like fucking Deep Purple or Black Sabbath.
My friend had one of those 70 dodge police cars ,can’t remember the engine size but the speedo went to 160 Certified mphAnd he would bury it.scared years off my life....
Omg!!!😲 a green Ford LTD II with a snow white pimp top. Break out the colt malt liquor a pack of cools the velvet dog with bobbing head and a spandex camel toe. Lol.
I'm not familiar with California, but at about 6:09, those array of businesses in the background, I swear I saw those in an episode of Sons of Anarchy.
Well, I guess when the husband of that lady hears that she literally gets involved in car chases and that she also literally has to wreck to avoid those cars in those car chases, he can understand why she never tries to get a driver's license ever again in her life.
I wonder if John Landis got his influence for Blues Brothers from this film. I mean, you have multiple police cars sliding and slipping into each other, causing pile-ups, not to mention movie extras running for their lives as the stuntpeople get within feet of hitting them.
@FGX318, actually, police helicopters existed in larger metropolitan areas since the 1960s, but they were nowhere near as fast, or as sophisticated, with their equipment as their modern day successors, and ditto for the police units. Sadly, said police units have only gotten slower and uglier, ironically enough.
It's obvious that the Dodge Police car couldn't handle or out accelerate the Jensen Intercepter as both cars carried Chrysler big block engines but the Jensen was lighter.
I remember this one - especially the title song. Is that the Starsky & Hutch S/E Charger? Well guess I’ll watch it again for the cars, apparently that’s where they really used their budget.
Some police departments did that to their squad car based officers as well. Apparently, that was how the Phoenix Police Department rolled back in the day.
Was that Desmond Llewellyn at 04:19 ? Joe Don Baker was in a Bond movie, so they swapped? 1977... So all these 'muscle cars' didn't really have any muscle. Or handling.
@@johanbrand8601 sorry if you feel I disrespected your favourite car sir, looking back I could have chosen a better description, I will amend my original post, sorry again sir for any disrespectfulness.
Stuart A. Segal…? Steven… is that you? Maybe he changed name at some point, it kinda looks like a young Steven Segal in the few clips you see of the driver.
A time when all cars were junk and at the same time all cars are gold mines. Man some of these shots made cops look like idiots and any car can keep up with any other car.
How strange. My favourite car featuring twice one right after the other. I have a thing for those Eldorados. What a great shame they drive the shit out of them. Great shame. And literally destroying one of them.
lol!! by 1977 all these cars were crap with no collector appeal. a reason for not many parts cars. but, hey! nothing here had more than 200HP!! our 73 Plymouth fury 3 wagon had a 400 big block and was 160 HP...
A lot of that had to do with emissions and a lot of it had to do with how power was tested. Look at the power of a 71 vs 72, one was gross and the other was net power. 330 hp was 250 the next. Add mid to late 70s smog equipment, 2 point drop in CR and there's your 160 HP.
That first red car is a jensen intercepter built in a little town called west bromwich in the west Midlands UK with ironically a chrysler 7.2 litre engine 😅
Yep, an early one judging by the pod of gauges mounted in the middle of the dash top rail and the steel Rostyle wheels, maybe a series 1 which is very rare now and certainly not an Interceptor 3 as the badge showed. The earlier cars still came with a big block Chrysler lump, but "only" of 6.7 litres rather than the 7.2 that the later cars got... This film was released a year after Jensen went bust and closed their doors for the last time...
@@gosportjamie that's what made me to believe the 7.2 was installed as it was a series 3, probably just a miss mash of parts being as it was being wrecked anyway
I miss those old movies that don't let story or plot get in the way of a good car chase!
Make more videos like this cars in water
That is a lot of car chases for one movie. Never saw it before now but was neat seeing all those old cars
hands down, one of the BEST 24 and half minutes I've spent on TH-cam!...thanks for posting these!
I always get a kick out of watching films that were released in the year I was born. Indeed 1977 was a good year for movies. Star Wars and Smokey and The Bandit to name a few.
That's naming a couple :-)
Also "Sorcerer"...
CHiPs, Grand Theft Auto.
Disney's The Rescuers
Not sure what this was all about, but I love watching these old car chase videos made back when cars actually had TIRES.
Apparently it's nearly impossible to get a 74 Plymouth Satellite police car to stop 🤣
Lol seems like it
It really was.
Always failed 🤣
46年前の映画かぁ。
この映画好きで何回も見てる。
I can't imagine how many stuntman got injured during these chases.
I always wonder how the hell they do this all.
I have been searching for this movie for so many years I hope some day it gets a blu rey release
Wow this has to be the greatest TV show ever produced. How did this not become a huge hit for decades?
its a movie
When movies were great
The red and white Charger...They used 2 different models. There is a base model with the standard taillights and a 500 or R/T with the special taillights.
Thanks for posting this clip. I've never heard of this movie.
This Charger is a ‘73 or a ‘74, there were no 500 or R/T models in those years.
@@MrZdvy imcdb says it's a '71
3:00 ... looks like the fall in River crash with the Mack RS700L in Convoy ... good movie
I watched this on betamax video way back in the day (77) loved it then love it now 😍😍😍
Super!!
Woah the car has beeping lights and a push button start, that car is way ahead of it's time.
That was just the 'theft' device. Whats really going to blow your mind is that the box of magic lights and buttons could be used to steal any car

Its very nice to be allowed to experience this cars in their natural habitat. But who chases who? No matter. 👍👍👍
Love car chase movies
What a waste of a Jensen Interceptor.They are very sought after and valuable now
The Jensen Interceptor has always been one of my favorite cars. Too bad about that one. No many left.
The Jensen Interceptor was an ugly and overrated piece of shit. Now a Sunbeam Tiger or AC Cobra on the other hand...

Check out the 260Z losing a wheel cover at 16:02. White wall tires too!

Its a great shame that the full movie is removed from TH-cam.
Because Chargers ROCK!
Man the days before ABS breaks was kind of cool.
First maroon car had the best name ever given to a car. Intercepter.Cool to see they kept the british registration plates on it aswell.
@Rick Greenway yes.
Yep kids.. once gas was mere cents on the dollar and cars were made of steel.

I'm not familiar with California, but at about 6:09, those array of businesses in the background, I swear I saw those in an episode of Sons of Anarchy.
Most of these cars were killed in the 1980s by their own power steering systems.
Ah that explains a lot, always wondered why those cars disappeared so quickly.
Explain please
Jensen could be had with 440s and with 6 packs.fact
