THE ROOKIE (1990) - Freeway chase

Clint chases car nappers Raul Julia & Xander Berkeley on the Los Angeles Freeway in THE ROOKIE (1990) after they have killed his partner. Great score by Lennie Niehaus there, too.

'There's gotta be a hundred reasons why I don't blow you away. Right now I can't think of one.' Man, this movie rocked da' house. Always loved watching this!

[@josephvijay1132]

The best & most drastically underrated Eastwood film ! PERIOD.

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

This scene was Filmed on highway 680 in San Jose. The film company paid my friends and me $450 per night to hang out with our cars in a Kmart parking lot for backups. Also Free donuts and coffee. Most of our cars and trucks were never used in the movie. There were hundreds of people on the overpasses at Alum Rock, Mckee Rd. Mayburry and Berryessa watching the filming all night for 3 nights. The crash scene with the car carrier was done in one take.

[@antpmen5735]

Crazy! I remember as a child watching them film this over the overpass on Mabury! You're right, there was always a large crowd every night.

This movie set the record for the most stunt drivers vs actors cast in a movie

[@KevinRichards-rk3gp]

I like that Freightliner cabover semi the villain was driving. Nowadays you don't see as many cabover semis on the roads here in the USA as you use to back in those days.

[@JoeTyler85]

this movie was 10000000 times better than The Dead Pool (DH 5), in my opinion

[@loayprettyboy206]

I agree

Michael Bay must have liked this chase so much he did his own car carrier version for Bad Boys 2.

great actor!

[@KevinRichards-rk3gp]

Only 54 years old when he passed away. Gone too soon😔

[@Crzypengu]

Jim Wilkey is such a good driver. He was on the big rig. He also did the joker truck flip in the dark knight and was the bus driver in the fugitive.

[@andysahs1599]

I think Cary Loftin was a stunt driver in this too.

[@Crzypengu]

@@andysahs1599 Looks like IMDB has him listed as a stunt driver. Not sure what role he had in this movie though.

Freeway scene filmed in San Jose CA on the 680 freeway I was there . I was like 10 years old .

This scene was shot in San Jose on 680. Look at the signs

[@jordanpeterson2601]

The car carrier is a Freightliner FLA 75

[@JOHNSMITH-dc6lr]

It really bothers me the studio was so lazy to put a flashing amber light in the rear window

[@codycrowley6089]

Yes! This bothered me too, they made a good effort using the red Coplite that LAPD used at the time, but no blue or amber PAR 46’s on the rear shelf (yes, I am classic CA police car enthusiast).

One such innovator in the film industry is Clint Eastwood, I wonder why he loves California ❤

If only Charlie Sheen cared about the 2 cops that got shot in the airport because he didn't kill Sonia fast enough.

[@matOmalley]

Why is this not blocked worldwide? When i try uploading it to KZbin its blocked.

[@patrickstocks3986]

this action movie is a similar of every action movie in the states where it's the similar violence, bullying, killing & cursing for a shit!

[@HJ_from_SJ]

Fun fact: thIs was filmed on I-680 in east side san jose (ESSJ). The freeway off ramp signs are visible in this scene. Alum Rock Avenue is the same road signed into Santa Clara St once in the downtown region. Past the shark tank the same road gets resigned as The Alameda splits off the main road and resigned as CA state route 82 which is El Camino Real at Santa Clara University and is ECR all the way throughout Santa Clara co and most of San Mateo County until Daly city. From there its mission st which keeps running well into SF via the mission district.

[@patrickstocks3986]

4:34 "have you got a light?" & Clint Eastwood fainted forward down diving to the ground to thud at the end of this clip!

[@tora3493]

2 porsches, a ferrari Daytona, and a firebird. Really?

[@patrickstocks3986]

at the back of the lorry where the spores scraping along the road to burn rubber with the drazzle flames

[@patrickstocks3986]

at 3:14-3:23 in 9 seconds where the red empty car pulls along to make the truck have an accident where the car with the caravan trapped in the accident with the more chaos going on where the taxi jumps over to crash where the lorry stops at the accident

[@Mariah7783-g9k]

This was filmed in san jose ca

[@patrickstocks3986]

3 cars drop off at Storm's lorry where to cause the accident chaos because there's lot of bad guys in it!

[@SEPK09]

Avery underated scene still holds up today, compared with some of the CGI garbage you get.

[@sarnow76]

@GoblinGirl I know. I always liked it. It's a good movie.

[@patrickstocks3986]

was that Loco joining Blackwell & Strom onboarding on the semi truck with the stolen cars to finish off Nick to burn rubber?!!

[@rudyiraheta80]

what's film has the car chase where the knock the chevron sign

[@Richard-Allen]

All I can say on this one is for once the cops have a realistic car and not some heavily modified unrealistic personal vehicle that a cop likely couldn't even afford. I enjoy seeing stock vehicles in chases more than modified ones because it adds a more realistic feel to the chase.

[@sabre926]

Damn straight fortminor85! When that dude asked that question, I was like, 'You know who he is? He's your worst fuckin' nightmare, that's who Clint is.'

[@andysahs1599]

The entrance Might have be filmed on the California state route 110 the state route sign at 0:41 says that below Freeway Entrance sign then switched to Interstate 680 near San Jose .

[@jbrodeur2115]

They also used a then unopened stretch of Highway 87 in San Jose from the 280 interchange heading south toward Almaden Expressway. You can see the light rail tracks in the middle as Clint Eastwood is driving next to the delivery trailer before he got on it and it flipped over.

[@andysahs1599]

@@jbrodeur2115 Plus at 0:24 the ARCO skyscraper is seen .

[@vigilante11485]

@GoblinGirl As an ardent Eastwood fan, I would agree that The Rookie isn't one of his best films, but not bad, either. It seems like it was too long and complicated, for some reason. And Charlie Sheen's poor acting didn't help.

[@boofdfast]

WTF?? Hopefully, that wasn't a REAL Ferrari Daytona Spyder that got crashed on that car carrier... that would be a million dollar mistake. LOL :)

[@andysahs1599]

I think its a Pontiac Fiero or a Ford Mustang or a Chevy Corvette dressed up to look like a Ferrari Daytona Spyder .

Best "Dirty Harry" film that isn't genuinely a "Dirty Harry" movie just like how Eddie Murphy's "Metro 1997" is actually the best "Beverly Hills Cop" that is not connected to that franchise .

This movie is a fucking turd. No doubt about it. Clunky, painfully unfunny, and horribly directed by Eastwood himself, with Raul Julia trying on a German(!!!!) accent. Still, the score is balls-out awesome.
