I saw this film 100 times AT LEAST on HBO back in the mid 80s and just worshipped it. It has not aged well.

"The Last Chase" - 2020 Covid-19

[@davidshore3523]

I was thinking the same thing

[@skinnyway]

thank you! I only saw this one time when it was new - took a long time to remember the name.

[@cste1845]

Thanks for uploading I Have only seen this on a KTMA MST300 episode.

[@d.aardent9382]

This movie doesnt seem like so much sci-fi anymore. Seems like a lot of movies were actually prophetic of the times right now.

Loved this movie back when it was all over early 80's Cable. I remember recording it on our 200 pound Sanyo Betacord 6400 VCR! This struck a chord with me ever since and I return to it often. There's something about escaping from the authorities and the ingenious way he siphons gas from underground tanks that holds my interest. Code Red Video released it on DVD several years ago and I ordered a copy. Too bad there were no extras but glad to have it anyway. This film would be a fantastic big budget re-make with all the new Hollywood technology. Freshen up the script, stay true to the main theme and have Lee Majors in a cameo somewhere! I would love to see it! Steven Spielberg would be perfect for this material. I did read somewhere that Lee majors was right in the middle of his divorce from Farrah Fawcett at the time he shot this. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to act and go to work everyday, adhering to a tough schedule while your life is falling apart. A true professional.

I wish I seen it then ,rather than NOW , AINT THAT A MUTHER ...

[@erikerice9068]

I got ya beat, my dad took me to the drive-in my home town to watch it. I wasn't old enough to know Lee Majors, but my dad did. He watched him when he was on The Six Million Dollar Man. He thought he was cool. It's a shame his career didn't go the way he hoped.

[@ventues9751]

I remember those VCR's !!! Mine that I bought in 1985 only weighed about 20lbs. :) LOL

This film has a great score. It also has a lot of great quotable lines. One of my favorites is the back and forth that starts at 12:50, and finishes when she inverts the "PC speak" and he says "for breaking rules" and she says: "Laws", and he says, "Lady, you got too god damn many laws." Another great one: "We went from oil to nuclear to solar... to what we have now... which is mainly a lot of rules." (at 20:06) Yup, that's America. I think you have to go to watch part 2 for the all time most quotable, which is Hawkins channeling Barry Goldwater when he says, "Extremism in the defense of virtue is no vice." That pretty much sums up the attitudes of the current politicians, and their extremist views of trampling the Constitution for the "virtuous" objective of protecting their own mother (see Matilda's law). I have a VHS of this film and watched it more times that I can count ... it still place and I also was able to x-fer it to DVD for when the tape (or player) finally gives up the ghost, as is my legal right to do under the copyright laws. And as it is your legal right to share excerpts... but I would suggest maybe making shorter excerpts just in case the lefty narc's on KZbin decide to flag you.

This is exactly what is happening now get the word out to watch this movie and people will realize that this has been a plan for years

I always look for symbols when it comes to the movie industry. The introduction of the crown over the world speaks truth. A more accurate shape of the world than we were always taught to believe and the crown over it proves who rules it.

If you remember this movie, tell us how it ends. It cuts off. Does he escape in his car? Of course, predictive programming is endless because the powers that be MUST show themselves, and their plans, many years in advance.

[@bigbill2376]

It ends with him breaking the car out of his garage and racing across country with the Government in hot pursuit. (They had to get a retired jet fighter pilot to chase him out of retirement). He ended up showing the people that they could leave their communities and travel, something that had been taken away by the government in previous years. Oddly the entire video is very hard to find and has systematically vanished from everywhere. All you can find are bits and pieces like this one here. Look through your old VHS libraries, it's worth a bundle historically if you have it

Interesting story written in the 70's. A pandemic, then killing the oil industry.

This must be one of those Canadian Tax Shelter movies...basically the government just paid producers to make a bunch of these, just to jumpstart the Canadian film industry. Then the Canadian dollar tanked and Americans came to film just because it was cheaper.

[@brucedavidson5400]

Ironically California turned out to be the least free place in America.
