Was it still warm from the chase?

LOL

I only saw one tailpipe on the GV

All the granvill's had 4555 4bbl. and duel exhaust. The down scaled Bonneville had 455 2bbl single exhaust. had 2 order duels unless opted for 4 bbl, then again duels included

The Ventura also has the somewhat unusual (for X-bodies) F-41 suspension option . Giveaway is the rear sway bar. The option also included a larger front bar, stiffer springs and shocks.

You again Lol 😂

Agreed. I don't think the last 20 years of the F &F franchise combined had 10 minutes of real, actual stunt driving.

LMFAO! Dude you nailed it, damn did you ever nail it brother!

@@nicholasstathoulopoulos4744 you do realise fast and furious isn't about stunt driving?

@@Gregory-sm9pf Yeah, I figured that out after about three of them.

Funniest part: Well-dressed middle class people on an interstate bus...😆

Yup

In new york, everyone used public transport. There was always too much traffic

Just like "Bullitt" and "The French Connection". Who needs music when you have those gorgeous engines revving like an angry pack of wolves?

@@fenris6051 Well, the first three minutes have jazz-like music, but as soon as the cars speed up and the chase is really on, the music stops playing.

Well you do have to admit to the obvious running the film at 1.5 or 2x speed very obvious about 5:36 mark.

@@ronbrock6153 I noticed that too. But there's something special about not using any CGI. Someday, someone will try to make a movie in the future with no CGI. This part of the film must have cost a lot of money - shutting down all those streets.

He didn't have time to pack either because what he's wearing here is the same thing he wore on the boat minus the jacket !

@@shihanUKS He's going to need a bigger suitcase...

and how the other driver got the gig in Bullit

I know that he was from New York

"In the yahd not to fah from the cah" lol

What about those epic 70s cop car chase themes?

Baby driver did music well though. It can be done right.

Not sure which is better: This or Bullitt?

It's decent, but it goes on way too long and gets repetitive before the end. Bullitt and French Connection are far, far better.

Not one of the best, THE BEST!!!!! In my humble opinion

Watched it in 1977 in my uncle's basement in Toronto. I was 16 then and was overwhelmed by the plethora of local tv channels and the ones from Buffalo and Rochester NY that played almost 24/24 crime movies tv shows etc. This one in particular along with the Getaway made so huge impression on me that i still get goosebumps by just hearing or reading the title.

Bill Hickman was one of the best stunt drivers ever....

@@bloodgod3281, Oh hell yeah he was the man.👍

Hey Rob, Hickman, Lynch and Schieder were so good in this! I’m a big Bill Hickman fan what a storied life that man had. One of the saddest days of Bill’s life was when He was following his good friend James Dean when Dean and his Spyder collided with Donald Turnupseed. Hickman about 60 seconds behind Dean was the first to get to Dean before he died. Hickman held Dean in his arms at the crash as he died.

Certain engine sounds felt like they were lifted from Bullitt

​@@alexday5892I heard stories to that effect.

HAHA! I used to do the same thing! I didn't have very many Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars, but I would recreate whatever I saw in movies on TV. I remember wanting a Mustang so bad for recreating the Bullitt chase. I would build big humps in the floor using my Highlights books and dictionaries and then ramp the cars off of those humps to simulate the huge jumps on the San Francisco streets in Bullitt. LOL Aaaaaahhhhh......good times.

John Martin Jr I AGREE bro them movies got me hotwheeled out with my own sound effects hahaha

Lets face it! Fast and Furious movies can't match the good ole 70,s chases.

No CGI in this one

Same here!!

***** He sure did, and he was an amazing looking guy (by that I mean interesting) I bet he could tell you some stories, he also looked like a guy you wouldnt want to tick off.

lol thought I was having some misplaced deja vu- big difference in the looks of the character in only 3 yrs after Bullitt

OK I thought bullitt came out in '70

Bill Hickam is also the stunt coordinator for the French Connection

Global Indefinitely Thanks, I did not know that.

Bar none!

Yeah, Nobody could whip those front heavy, non braking, non handling 70s sleds around the corners like him. Incredible control, these"drifting" guys can't hold a candle to him.

​@@TheDKServices🎯

They don't make movies like that anymore, and they never will again. It was a golden age.

For usa yes but in europe we had Remy Julienne

Yeah, he acts as though he's been through it all before. LOL!!

He is at that , very good .

Drove the same way in Bullitt except when he was about to get in that head on..this chase seen sponsored by Pontiac. 😊

As a professional stunt driver, Bill Hickman knew and understood the kinds of punishment that a car could take and still keep going. And he used that knowledge to great effect. He really rocked it.

He is on his daily commute.

This is real American made super chase 1970

It was the golden age of movies, in my opinion.

Like all movie chase scenes, the engine noises and other sounds you hear were sourced from other recordings and dubbed in later during the post production process. The sounds you hear in the movie were not made made by the vehicles on the screen.

1973 was o.k. so long as it was being experienced on t.v..

Greatest chase scene , Ever.

@Jason Kang I could not agree more. The Bleak Autumn backdrop helps.

Bill will ALWAYS be a legend as one of the first,greatest stunt drivers in my book....

@@boruff68 Yes sir. He was the best!

Evan T easily one of the greatest of all time.

Great actor

He looked the part....like a cop.

I totally agree! They feel sort of like real people driving instead of your stereotypical tough guys

Fully agreed spot on 👌✔️

This car chase pushed the art to another level..Except for The Driver, i have both. Though this always did it for me. And Bill Hickman haulin that Grand ville......

Lynch wasn’t faking it - he really was scared during the chase scenes. The crash at the end wasn’t supposed to happen; Buddy (Roy Scheider) was supposed to slam to a stop short of the truck. But the stunt went wrong and the car plowed under the bumper. The scene with the driver helping a battered Buddy out of the wrecked car was in essence improvised.

I argued with someone once how much better the Bullitt car chase was than some dumb Star Wars cgi pod race thing they thought was so great. They just don't understand.

He was a legend during what I like to call the Golden Age of movies.

He had more than 100 other roles as well, including General Patton's driver in "Patton"...In real life he was the first on the scene of James Dean's fatal car wreck...

Not just driving, but choreographed them all as well.

Forgot to add Jerry Summers who drove Scheider's car. Who also has passed.

The common denominator was Phil D'Antoni.Phil did all three movies you mentioned.He used Hickman exclusively.

Gene Hackman is still alive he's just retired.

@@kevinclark8549 Hickman not Hackman !

for sure !

JAWS,audio is a nighttime favorite

​@@kevinclark8549 Wrong movie. Chao. Retired Vietnam era veteran, ex Detroiter, expatriate currently living in the Colombian Andes.

+Vedran Čižić Hickman also did the driving in the French Connection. Also was driving the trailer for James Dean's Porsche when he crashed it back in the 50s.

+hamtrak RIP RICHARD LYNCH AND BILL HICKMAN AND ROY SCHIDER

+hamtrak I thought it was him- same guy driving the charger in Bullit, right? that guy seriously kicked ass as a stunt driver, especially with those big old boats they drove back then

haha that looked to be true ... what a long scary ride!!! the dangers actors went through then wow?

+hamtrak I'm not surprised, Bill Hickman was a great, maybe the greatest ever, stunt driver but he also rather appears to have been a complete lunatic who really enjoyed scaring the pants off actors. Maybe it was a way of getting revenge for his relative lack of success as an actor. Maybe it was just that he favoured the realistic, gritty, white knuckle style of car scenes...

No CGI and no seatbelt! And, in a bunch of movies of the era, no permit!

What name is this film?

The engine sound of the Ventura is totally fake. They dubbed the sounds of a car with a manual trans, but the chase car had an automatic!

As is common in movie making for several reasons, the engine noises and other sounds were dubbed in during post production and were not made by the vehicles on the screen. During outside filming, sound is generally not recorded at all at the time of filming, or if it is recorded, it's nothing but ambient street noises and many times includes shouted directions and off camera chatter from crewmembers who know it's all going to be dubbed over anyway. They really didn't even do a very good job of making the sounds plausibly match what's on the screen, such as was mentioned already, all of the dramatic gear shifting noises supposedly made by an obvious automatic transmission vehicle. In real life, 18 wheelers don't even shift that much.

​. Its also the same sounds used in "Bullitt".

In my opinion Vanishing Point has the most phenomenal car chase.

What is amazing about all three movies is that stuntman Bill Hickman was driving.

@@jayelbee1111 He was, but for some scenes Gene was actually driving the car too, Gene wasn't a stuntman but he was a damn good driver

Bullitt is better without speeding up, there are pure realtime corner passing. But this one is much longer.

Try "to live and die in LA" that's another good one. No CGI, just real cars.

Yup this particular Indian can flat haul ass!!! Lol!!

Ha haa haaa!

Yes but most snowflake guys today don't have licenses, they let there girlfriends drive them or they take Uber everywhere 😂

I hope Lynch got paid extra!

It sound a bit too much like McQueen's fastback in Bullitt. I love it!

+paktype : LoL .. I was just thinking the same thing.. reminds me of the look on my chicks face whenever she tells me we're running late!

Because he was driving with the stuntman during the car chase and he was actually freaking out.

1973/74

It was dubbed in and it sounds like from the Bullitt Mustang.

Even when they were parked.

Cancer sucks

You see how fast the door of that red car ricocheted after the crash? It was like a ballistic missile. Unless they had it on a tow wire so it wouldn't kill someone outside the scene (this was a live street chase)

It ricocheted of the back of the tan car, and in front of the tan car was a person

good lord, they were awful. A bunch of under powered super heavy boats. With that being said, I am picking up a '71 Ventura on Monday.

+Patrick Keough Yep. Post fuel crisis cars like these, big blocks or not made next to no power. They last forever though, the internals were way overbuilt for the utter lack of compression they had.

Frank Alvira cars are plastic these fays

Frank Alvira before they were plastic

@@railwayhobo872 my 97 dodge neon was all plastic my subie has some steel parts

Still legendary after NOW 50 years!!!

TRUE! VERY TRUE!

Al Scarbrough Roy looked the part when he was driving

Al Scarbrough Definitely 52 Pick Up was ONE of my favorite movies that he did with Ann Margaret which was a SLEEPER movie aside from the great one s like this n the French Connection

It's just down to earth no lousy camera tricks kick ass old school car chase!!

I'm one of the lucky ones , meaning an old dude. I had a 64 1/2 Mustang (6cyl 3 speed but still), a 73 Nova 307 like this 74 Ventura but blue, a 56 Belair 2 door post, a blue 62 Galaxie, a white 66 Lemans (because it looked like a GTO but cheaper), a 67 Biscayne and a 70 Impala...all before I was 22 in 1978. Those were the days man. I wouldn't trade those memories for another 10 years of life.

I worked for a pontiac dealer 68-72. Needed a tow car for my 66 GTO , ordered a 71 Le Mans Wagon 455 H.O. . Pontiac did not want to build the car. Zone rep made a special order 7 months later I got it. Only 455 HO wagon built... I still have the wagon and 66GTO

How could I forget?? At 1:38 you'll see a quick shot of a 64 Malibu, I had one in 1974 as my first legal car that was a 6 with 3 on the tree and my old 65 Catalina teal 4 door boat with the Marijuana decal on the back glass I had in 1976. How I never got stopped was a miracle. That car rode as smooth as my 78 Eldorado I had in 1997.

you could just buy one of these old cars

get a mustang gt and remove the abs fuse.

I don't know dude. Take a look at how that thing bounces and hops when it corners. Looks like a pogo-stick!

They used to use Pontiacs in a lot of car chase scenes. My dad told me it was because they smashed real well lol. And this is what happens when you get into a shoving match with a '73 GrandVille by the way. Why on earth...

The excitement was over beginning in 73 ....for excitement see "gto 1964-1972"

+MrTheHillfolk wasn't that a 70 Pontiac Ventura

Jack Johnson Maybe, I'm not really good on the particular year that car was, same with 68-72 novas, the differences are so subtle. Easily figured out on google though.

Don’t forget The French Connection!! Love me some Bill Hickman!!!

Like the Blues Brothers said, no catalytic converters and emission control to choke the performance. At the peak of muscle cars, Chrysler and GM often underrated their engine (probably for lower insurance premium for their customers) its ironic now some of the automakers overrated the engine horsepower for marketing purpose.

+james madison the '74 GTO was just a Ventura w/ the 400.

+Leslie Horwinkle 74 GTO had a 350 4BBL. No 400 for GTo in 74.

+james madison This Ventura had a 2BBL. No 4BBL 350's for Pontiac in 73

Yep, they all did it for lower insurance premiums, but I know the various GM divisions also did it because GM had certain rules about how much HP a car could have compared to its weight. A GTO with a 400 would be rated at 365 HP, while the exact same engine in a Firebird would be rated at 320 HP.

And at 5:48 in the distance there is a crew taking the first shot

vidhag900 wait for the Nun to come out and throw a brick at them :)

good point, seeing how Schider couldn't budge him.

+Caelroigh Blunt It took me finding this video to realize that. 😆

The car engines sounds like Bullitt.

+HALON747 True, and I find that to be a shame since the Fastback WAS a manual car but the Pontiac was an automatic.

That was Bill Hickman. He was one of the great stunt drivers ever. Many an actor soiled themselves in the passenger seat when driving with Hickman.

The car engine sounds were ripped off from Bullitt.

Roy Scheider kicks ass driving that Ventura!! Love it!!

And a recurring '68 Chevy Impala Custom Coupe.

Probably because it was man??!! Lol!!

I actually thought it was a Cadillac when I first watched this movie.

Grandville and Ventura.

that big black car most likely runnin a 455!!

Exactly right!

Retro Gameing Guitarist A lot of the production staff in The Seven Ups worked on The French Connection...no accident!

***** you do hear the dub from bullitt in this chase from the seven ups I think around when he's getting shot at at the bus scene

***** I think you're mistaken, too. You hear manual gearchanges being made in the chase car, but wasn't it an automatic? It's the same Bullitt Mustang engine soundtrack.

*****​ I'm sorry but what you have to see is is that you never and I mean never hear the 390 in the mustang because the engine noise was dubbed during editing and production and you can find it on commentary by peter Yates on the bullitt from Walmart (from 5.00 $) now the same thing happened in the 7 ups. I also love classic movies like I love classic cars so I study them both very carefully and that is how I know it was dubbed.Peter Yates said it was dubbed from a car race at the track.Another fragment of proof is that I heard the same dub of the bullitt mustang on a episode of the dukes of hazard when they where at a track and a guy was driving a white dodge charged.Same dub. You might be able to find the dukes of hazard white charger scene on KZfaq. The name of the video is: The dukes of hazard S 2 e 07 scene 02. By TV stunter UK look at it for yourself

Yes i do too!

and screamin' tires coming off every corner.

Ever see The Blues Brothers?

Josh Moss I think it's funny too, but man, could that huge Pontiac ever haul-ass, especially at 3:40, and 4:50..

Yahuchanonyakov 455 in that Pontiac that car had a lot of power Roy's car was no slouch either 350 was definitely one of GM best small block s

dude its fucking great lol

I love the suspension recoil launching the car into the air.

This car chase sequence is almost similiar in fashion from the one of Bullit's. One guy in a small car the good guy, the bad guys, 2, in a bigger car, chase starts out slow in a city and then climatic ending happens out in a open freeway. Both chase sequences fun to watch. For me I like Bullit's chase sequence better to be honest, but I like this one as well.

+Freddy Chale VIN DISEAL IS A ASSHOLE BULLFUCKER NO WONDER PAUL WALKER GOT KILLED

Edward Koepke LMFAO!!!!

+Freddy Chale iv been trying to find a movie from this era. Its got a crazy scene with a blue harley chopper being chased by two police cars through sf and it ends at twin peaks. the motorcycle stunt man is wearing a black leather jacket and the chopper has a baby blue tank. Anyone know what im talking about?

707lurks Couldn't tell you much... But somehow it sounds familiar- You're not talking Easy Rider w Peter Fonda right? Bike gang travelling through the US?

Check this.. jalopnik.com/the-ten-fakest-movie-car-chases-ever-filmed-1041183590 And the "legendary" DRIVEN is only on 2nd.place. I wonder who is the one on 1st. No idea what that film is... CHEERS!

You mean the in-reality bone stock base Ford with a column mounted shift lever automatic transmission that somehow during the chase scenes magically shifts more times than an 18 wheeler, and sustains crippling, total-loss damage but keeps on going because in reality the part was played by several identical base model brown Fords? 😄
