What a classic movie. I saw it on t.v. in the late 70's. You can't beat the car chase movies of the 70's with the Dodge Monaco and Polara and Plymouth Fury cop cars. There'll never be anything like them anymore.

Great research. I lived and grew up in that area when it was being filmed and I'm familiar with most of the sites. Here's an addendum for you, most of the close helicopter chase scene was filmed on Jack tone Road North of highway 26. I was privileged enough to watch it being filmed.

My first car at age 17 in 1975 was a 1969 Dodge Charger 383 Magnum. Charger had 56,000 miles, white with a green vinyl top and green interior, nice condition. I paid $1,200 for it. My monthly payment was $67.00. I owned it for about 1 and a half years and sold it for $1,000. The biggest regret of my life. I have Crazy Larry, Dirty Mary on DVD. Love the movie.

As a kid I saw this movie several times in the theater in Portland Oregon circa 1974. In 1976 it was re-released as a double feature with Vanishing Point. At the age of 18 (1980) I moved to Los Angeles to work for Roger Corman. I met many producers the first year I was here including producer Norman Herman. He had endless stories about making this film. His love of director John Hough who he had a hired a year before for Legend of Hell House and the infamous ending of DMCL. The car hitting the train was the last shot of the last day of filming. It took ALL DAY to set it up. They tried it once and it didn't work. The cables snapped. No useable shot. They reset everything the following day and that's what you see in the movie. Mr. Herman said it was the first time in his career that a day had been completely waisted. But an amazing take 2!!!!

This is, probably, my all time favorite car chase movie. Vanishing Point would be second. Thanks for showing the locations where it was filmed. It's always interesting to know where that was done, and to see if those places look the same, or if they've changed, or even exist anymore.

Back then in 1970's I saw DMCL in a movie theater in Argentina. Fell in love with this movie to the point I sneak to the next function after. I was in love to Susan George since that day. I returned back to the theater again but this time I sneaked a super 8mm camera and filmed the theater screen with the chase hilites. In those days there was no internet or cell phones. I did then sent a letter to 20th Century Fox in LAX asking for a picture of Susan George. Never got a reply. Life move on and fell in love with other pretty faces but at 15 years of age I was impacted with this movie to the core. I did studied filmmaking and dedicated my professional life to Television. Murphy's War was another nerve moving flick from those days.

Among some...Adam 12, Mission Impossible ( TV) The $6 Million Dollar Man, The Dirty Harry films, The Domino Principle, The Stuntman, Airport '75. The Rockford Files, S.W.A.T. ,CHiP's, Earthquake, Blue Thunder to name just a few. There were also a bunch more that he wasn't credited for. Keep an eye out for any helicopter scene filmed in the 70's and 80's and chances are you'll see him flying it!

It's very odd that this movie has slipped past me somehow. In 1974 I was 19. A friend of mine lived and grew up on a farm across the road where I lived in Indiana. He acquired his dad's 1968 Charger, red with black interior and black vinyl top. Said he remembers the day when he and his dad went to the dealer and gave the salesman 36 $100 bills. In early seventies he bought and restored a blue 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner. Later he found a Superbird and also a Super Bee. He has a great collection.

I just watched The movie a few hours ago and I am so grateful to have come across your KZbin video. I have driven through some of those central valley towns on some of those roads and highways in the early 2,000s when I lived in the San Francisco bay area and I am just extremely happy To see from your video that they are still pretty much the same as they were 20 years ago when I passed through them and more importantly the same pretty much as they were 51 years ago When the movie was filmed.

14:50 fun fact: My grandparents owned this store up until it was put out of business by the gas station across the street right around '09 or so.. it was reopened a few times by other ppl but nothing stuck. My grandmother was working during the filming of the movie. She said they redid the store scene so many times that Susan was tired of eating ice cream so they just broke pieces off towards the last cuts

I was born in 1974 and love 70s movies like this one. The last shot turned up in the opening titles of The Fall Guy. Fantastic video, great to see the locations!

Fantastic scenes from one of my favourite movies, great to see the locations and see how little has changed. I love the walnut groves area and would love to see it myself in person, maybe one day 😂. Great work, thanks.
