Killer Cars: Death Car on the Freeway

[@jamesnoble3502]

I want that crazy fiddle music as my new ringtone 😀 I remember taping this off of network TV in the late '80s and watching it with my friends

[@Sean-hn1vt]

That music literally slaps

[@davidsmith2033]

at 5:02....the Dodge van diving off the side of the overpass....man!! Stunt people from the 1970's were gritty as f***!!!

[@aldeciaraujo6760]

Thats 1974😒

[@fostbitten5721]

A lot of “Hold my whiskey bottle.”

[@EngineerDaylight]

That scene where the van flies through the air on fire is just unbelievable, I've never seen that done in any other movie

[@jamesnoble3502]

I like how the van immediately exploded into a giant fireball midair for really no reason whatsoever other than it was the '70s and everything exploded back then

[@rf396]

@@jamesnoble3502 On California highways that was doubly true!

[@laqundrabarnett4141]

I believe there are other movies where cars explode and fly in the air. This isn't the only film that does that.

[@pancudowny]

Note how the cars or all the victims the Fiddler attacks are either small, trim-models with paltry/weak engines, have poor handling & lackluster brakes standard... like a large, quick predator chasing a smaller or slower prey that can't out-maneuver or get away quickly.

[@jwjeepx]

I saw this on TV back when it was new, one of my favorites. This is one of your funniest commentaries yet -- delivered with a great dry style -- thanks man! Keep it going! "...where the hell are Jon & Ponch when you need them..." another TMV classic quote!

[@MorristheMinor]

@@TMVarchive I can see the planning meeting for this movie - 'Well, we can't afford Jon AND Ponch, but we can manage one third of Charlie's Angels.'

[@peterparker6584]

There's a few movies out there you may have not seen. One I'm still trying to remember the name of myself I think it's called the van I know it's not creeper van that's a whole another movie. Basically it's saw with a Dodge panel van. This guy is a serial killer and he's got a van that he trips out with all sorts of gory traps and kills people when they get in the van. In some cases the guy was targeting car thieves as an example I think during the film he booby-trapped other people's Vehicles as well was about four or five years ago when I seen the movie. At one point he puts the van up for sale tool or somebody else in do test driving the van. If I remember the movie correctly it was a crappy looking white Dodge cargo van. A movie from the 1970s you may have seen or or overlooked small budget film called cars that aren't Pirates hopefully I'm not butchering the title of the movie it's pretty obscure. Basic plot of the movie is a town of people who kill Outsiders who travel through the town by making them crash their cars and then they strip the cars down and sell the parts to make money and it's supposedly in the storyline a big business. Another one from the 1980s is called the ambulance it's about a serial killer driving around in an ambulance. I'm sure you seen all the Death Race movies there's five I think at this point maybe 6 I'm not exaggerating they've done quite a few Death Race equals most of them the most people don't even know about because they were kind of slid under the door. Honestly some of the Death Race movies are not that bad David Carradine was in the first one and he's in a couple of the sequels. More than likely you seen the Mad Max movies and just don't want to devotecontent at them because pretty much everybody's probably done Mad Max. Doing this with a soul crushing migraine so there's a handful of movies right now I can't remember the name of. Guy that did the original Gone in 60 Seconds I believe was the guy that did the movie junkman assuming you haven't seen it you might want to look that movie Up. Kind of a demolition derby car chase type movie. I think that was the one he died while filming or died after filming it. Guy that did the original Gone in 60 Seconds did a handful of karthi movies before he died in the 80s. Another one I'm sure you seen was repo not the Opera I mean the original repo movie was called Repo Man people keep dying trying to repo the car in the film. The second Knight Rider movie might be something else you want to look into it's kind of hate Mad Max knock off I think it was called Knight Rider 2020 typical post-apocalyptic future and Guy out for Revenge builds a tank car. And they slapped the term Knight Rider on the title LOL. Trying to remember the name of the one about the semi from the 1980s basically the guy is a private contractor with a custom-made semi who was hired to do a transport of a nuclear bomb or something across the u.s. Under the radar by the government yeah the movies as campy as it sounds you got to remember I was like 10 when I seen that movie and the name of it Escapes Me. They put extra long smokestacks on the rig to deflect heat-seeking Rockets as an example LOL. Maybe it was called War rig or War truck battle truck that was it I think they basically in the movie built a custom semi with bullet-proof material and so on truck was specifically custom-built to do the delivery run of whatever the hell the goddamn top secret missile bomb thing was pretty sure they were supposedly delivering a nuclear warhead across the u.s. Or some new type of nuclear weapon. Blood Salvage you might want to look into it's more of a slasher film bunch of inbred rednecks that run a salvage yard are kidnapping people to cut them up for organ donation on the black market basically causing them to have accidents and then kidnapping them. Black dog with Patrick Swayze might be in your wheelhouse although it's not really killer cars for say it's more along the lines of a trucker enthusiastic action movie one of the last movies done by Shwayze. Ice Road is another one of those type of movies more recent had Liam Neeson as one of The Trackers. Honestly hard to find movies where it's a killer car in the most literal sense like Christine you actually found one called the car 2 which I'd never even heard of. Sometimes they come back and the sequel Sometimes they come back again based on a Stephen King story about a ghost car with a group of ghost occupants kind of a couple of obscure movies so you might not be familiar with them. If I can think of any more I'll post on another one of your videos

[@Mr_Hillbilly_weeb]

I love how the hero car is an old Datsun 240Z aka Nissan fairlady s30 probably one of the most beautiful cars of the time these cars dont get enough love

[@pancudowny]

And, if you note: The only car The Fiddler attacks that has a respectable power/weight ratio, and is built with good brakes and a true sports-tuned suspension by design.

[@thetransportationguy7930]

I thought it was a Toyota 2000gt

[@ericamichelle99]

I saw this movie for the first time about 2-3 years ago and was mad that I hadn’t seen it/didn’t know about it sooner. Pretty decent cast (Peter Graves and The Riddler...I’m all in). I could watch these made for tv gems from the 70’s all day.

[@vorelordjr9019]

Not a killer car if the car has a driver

[@ericamichelle99]

What does that have to do with my comment?

[@54GodzillaFan]

Good flick from Hal Needham! Decent crash stunts for a low budget TV movie! Though bluegrass wouldn't have been my choice. Blast Van Halen or AC/DC. Also, one of the best cliff dives to end a killer car movie.

[@TMVarchive]

Yeah, not sure what was up with the weird fiddle music. I originally used AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" for the outro but KZbin blocked it.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

2:47-Generally about as useful as a fire extinguisher full of gasoline. Never heard that one. That was Morgan Brittany in the opening, wasn't it?

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

This originally aired 9-25-79 on CBS and starred Shelley Hack from "Charlie's Angels."

[@carolinawestern3875]

I've always loved cars of the 70's so I recall the first one well. It was a "CHiP's" episode called, The Highway Fiddler! Aired around the time a movie called "The Car" was released. About a Satan possessed 73 Mark IIV Lincoln, Continental, that goes around driverless & killing people.

[@mixaliskokkinos1496]

It was a van GMC Venture right?I remember too!

[@kingstyle7314]

I was watching all the videos in this channel a few days ago because I loved the movie vaults videos and was so upset to see he is no longer here and this was one of my favorites I was tempted to suggest it be reuploaded next I’m so glad it was

[@TMVarchive]

I'm still here dude. Just had to start a new channel. Glad you like.

[@memorialled_zeppelin-warew1346]

And the stunt driver driving the van is the same man who drove the infamous tanker truck in Duel. The small barely noticeable burn scar on his left arm and a small sticking scar on the right arm are more than a bit of a give way. And this guy must have several vans to crash with.... A Blue Ford Transit , a Grey/White Bedford Van and a Black with flames Ford Caravan Or also known as a A Team Van. Did he steal the A Teams van and put flames on it. It looks like it.

[@jamesnoble3502]

It was shown in the movie that he repainted his van after every attack but due to the continuity the van also magically changed makes and models between scenes

[@eerikwiren1532]

The van was a 1974 Dodge Tradesman

[@TTGTO288]

That was some off road RACE van ... lol. Sounded like it had a 70s NASCAR engine in it, but yet could off road and drive down large embankments ... I would guess that 240 Nissan could've out ran it in a heartbeat if this wasn't Hollywood.

[@EngineerDaylight]

The van used was a 1974 Dodge B100. The V8 models came with a 318 or a 360 ci Engine.

[@TTGTO288]

@EngineerDaylight Again, the 240 would out run it.

[@seatspud]

Fun fact: there's a fan-made video utilizing clips from this movie backed by a remastered version of "Takin' Off/Hell on Wheels", a song from Cheech and Chong's Next Movie.

Some kinda bluegrass whisky fiddle music. Hence the "Freeway Fiddler" reference.

Do you hate it when you bump into the car in front of you going 6mph and then your car explodes
