One of The Best Car Chases in Movie History

[@forbeshutton5487]

In 1991 I worked for a security company that had a fleet of ex-police Dodge Diplomats as patrol cars. They were as tough as anvils. None of them worked right but they never stopped running.

[@mb-ql1gb]

"but they never stopped running" But this is bad once you parked it ... everybody could drive it ... ^^

[@oldguysrock2170]

When I started my 30 year career as a cop, our fleet has Dodge Aspens as patrol cars. They were horrible. They were very fast if you drove straight. But hard braking and turning right or left, the engines would die. Cops knew to put it in neutral and restart the engine. Nice and roomy. Phased those out fir the early 80’s Chevy Malibu, a great car, but came with different engines, a 305 and 350. The 350’s screamed.

[@oldguysrock2170]

Side story to the Aspen! There was a cop, who was very strong. The Aspen died on him while driving in a high speed situation. The power steering shuts off and he had to muscle through the turn. He bent the steering wheel. Typical, the city mechanics tried to straighten out the steering wheel so for the duration that cruiser was in service, the steering wheel was more oval than round.

[@krondarr8865]

I remember this movie. It was hilarious. The cop thought he was dying of a terminal disease that was not covered by insurance but if he was killed in the line of duty his family would get a huge settlement. So he was taking a lot of dangerous chances. He had been an extremely cautious cop until then. The actor was not really known for comedy roles but he did a good job in this one.

@@BoostedPastime they only become a classic after people buy and wreck as many as they can. No respect for the car, just something to beat up because you can't be bothered to fix it.

[@BoostedPastime]

@@internetbodhi1009 agreed I think a lot of what it also is is the fact that it's a limited edition item they were only produced for a certain amount of time and once the car is no longer in production it is essentially a countdown until there is none left which means that they can only become more valuable overtime since there's going to be less of them overtime.

Thank you. I saw this movie when I was a kid. I've been telling people about this car chase ever since then but I could never remember the movie.

[@garynicholls1448]

SHORT TIME: I watched this film a few days ago with low expectations. Hahahaha! How wrong was I. When you know the story you will understand why the cop was annoyed with himself for wearing a seat belt during the rollover. Brilliant film and if you like comedy/cop movies, you will not be disappointed.

[@gregorykern9679]

Anyone else notice that the car changed from a Dodge to a Plymouth? In all the scenes Right before the rifle shots to the front of the car, the car was a Dodge Diplomat. From the rifle scenes forward, the car was a Plymouth. The grilles are noticeably different. Great chase though.

Funny I recognize the final scene, under the parkade. It's in New Westminster British Columbia, Canada. As a little kid I used to go shopping with my parents at the department store that was there Army and Navy. Between Amazon and the pandemic it put the final nail in the coffin for them. The family that started it the children decided it was time to wrap it up and cash out. As a young man my girlfriend used to work in a bar on that street so I'd always be there late at night. Now as a truck driver I drive down that street on a weekly basis it's changed a lot. Last year there was this huge fire that destroyed a pier here on the river beside a nice park. They are now building two of the tallest waterfront towers in Metro Vancouver there it's along the Fraser River. When they go up for sale I think I'll inquire about a unit. It's beside the New West Quay some cool shops and pubs and restaurants down there.

What puts the original Gone In Sixty Seconds into a league by themselves is Toby who was everything. Writer, Producer, Director, Actor, Stuntman, High-Speed Stunt Driver, you name it. They couldn't get permission for the high-speed chases but they did them anyway. They paid many thousands of dollars not only in fines, but they also paid for all the damage they did to the infrastructures (light poles, etc) of the several cities they flew thru. Best of all, the reason they were able to crash 100 cars is that he owned a massive wrecking yard. Sell 'em for scrap, write 'em off the books, add the money to the filming budget. The guy was one smart cookie!

Yes sir. That new west minster underpass is such a giveaway. They use it in many films. I like how they made true to life use of the stop sign that’s totally hidden by the support column. They must have thought hmm we can use that, get a car about to go through and he doesn’t see the stop sign till the last second. Idk the right filmography term for it but they made use of their surroundings. I mean once they had the location they’re like ok good let’s do this but I bet they added the stop sign as they were in production.

For those who don't know the back story. The detective is diagnosed with a terminal illness and finds out that his family will collect alot more money if he's killed on the job, than he'll collect if he dies from the illness. Therefore, he makes it his mission to get killed on the job rather then to allow himself to die from the illness. Of course, things don't go quite the way he planned.
