Car chases

Honda Prelude (3rd Gen) vs MGB:

I'm surprised the MG is LHD, but I'm told Japan isn't as strict on LHD vehicles.

A 1989 Prelude should have been able to show a 1969 MGB a cloud of dust!  Fun though, well found.

E type Jaguar chase in Paris (unknown film).

 

At 0:03, is that a Hotchkiss parked on the right next to the Rover P6 and the (possiblement) Renault van?

[Remspoor]

The Streets of San Francisco.

[sheffcortinacentre]

A Quin Martin production!

[Talbot]

Some fairly shit camera and editing work on that one.

Also, how empty are those streets?

Part of my favourite slapstick car chase

Has Mad Max been mentioned yet?
The director George Miller did some seriously new stuff with that film, fitting the cameras to unusual places in the cars making some very ‘close’ action shots....

 

 

The first ten minutes of this film might be the best petrol head chase of all time. And I’ll argue that with anyone, come at me.

 

toecutter ... was the head baddie in Fury Road

Another "obscure" chase.

From "Le Professionnel" - 1981 featuring Fiat 131 Supermirafiori and  a Peugeot 504

Lots of car chase stunts by Remy Julienne.

Proof if it were needed that power is a poor substitute for skill:

It's a status symbol thing - not in 'cool' as much as 'I can'.

Which is why mobster (Yakuza etc) cars tend to be LHD.  If you see a LHD prestige car with the occupants in suits, you'll notice that other cars get out of the way.  When I was in Tokyo they stood out to me...  except being a typical gaijin tourist, I gawped.  Not clever  😄

Given the way that C15 was cut up by the DBS at 1:25, I'm not surprised he gave it some beans.  I do wonder if he was going to pull in at the end too and have a bit of a straightener with the DBS driver, then thought better of it when he realised there were 3 cars traveling together.

First car chase from Iceland, very shite:

 

[Remspoor]

Mr. No Legs.... with all the usual stunts.

^ That car chase is great, the Fiat fixes itself a couple of times, and the VW k70 totally changes shape whilst in a roll. 

10/10 Will watch again

 

[eddyramrod]

Well... that was fun!  When the original clip ended, it offered me some more, and top left showed a car remarkably like Huggy, flying, so I watched it, with the sound on.  Speed Trap (1977) appears to be a movie about, well, someone who interferes in police chases.  There are 24 minutes of this stuff, clearly edited highlights so you don't get any context and almost no dialogue, but Starring... credits flash up for Joe Don Baker and Tyne Daly, which would be enough to make me watch anyway.  JDB drives a selection of cars with which he baits the black-and-white police Dodge Coronets, starting with an English-registered RHD Jensen Interceptor.  Not one but two Cadillac Eldorados also appear, both about 1972-3, one of which is the car I mistook (in an action shot) for mine.

@Austat thank you for that!

Don’t know if this is the right place or if it’s been posted before but for fans of early 90’s cop programmes here’s the first in a series of uploads of X-Cars, which saw the bbc shadowing GMP’s car crime unit. 80’s and 90’s cars ahoy!

Mid 80s.  Daimler 3.4 gets a bit messed up.

 

I must order this to go with all my Sweeney Films. What is the name of the Film? 👍 👍 👍 😎 😎 😎

I remember really liking this along with my Dad.

not so much a chase, but does anyone remember a Bloke filming himself crossing Paris in a BMW (i think) bumper mounted camera..Proper "as was" action, no cuts and no stunts...think it was early 80's?????

[bezzabsa]

Splendid!  I never realised Fiat 131s were so tough. Makes me wonder why so few have survived.....  and I think the K70 turns into a Opel Rekord while rolling. 

[sheffcortinacentre]

Because 131's were water soluble.
