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.
@@MrZdvy It's a 71 Charger. I used to own a 71 Charger. 73-74 Chargers had different tail lights & a much larger rear passenger quarter window aperture.
Okay....someone from car chase wonderland has uploaded the entire movie Speed trap......and thank you. There's a chase scene in this clip involving a white El Dorado ending with the car taking a bath in a big pond. For some reason....that scene is not included in the movie. The scene belongs there because the red and white Charger the lead character drives is in the scene too. What's going on here??
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
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
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.
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.
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....
@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.
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.
@@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
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.
@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@johanbrand8601Of couurse man. It's 1977 year! There were no computer effects at all. There were no computers anyway. Same in the westerns. Real horses. Real falls. Cables on the groud etc...
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.

its a movie
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
I'm hoping that this was unedited & is the true length of the movie! As you say us guys don't care about plots! We just want car chase action!
Not sure what this was all about, but I love watching these old car chase videos made back when cars actually had TIRES.
Love hearing the screaming V8 on that red & white Charger!
