Best Car Chase EVER

- From the comedy 'Short Time' with Dabney Coleman, Matt Frewer and Teri Garr. Overall, considering all factors, I find this the best car chase scene ever filmed.
NOTE: Coleman's car here is NOT a Diplomat. The grille in this red car says Plymouth. As the chase was filmed in Canada where the Plymouth Gran Fury was sold as the 'Caravelle' from 1978-1982, and as the 'Caravelle Salon' from 1983-89, it might be a Caravelle. But the fender emblems were removed, so we can't say for certain that it isn't a US-market Gran Fury.
See www.allpar.com/squads/diplomat... for more specs. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
What I really love about these chases is NO over cutting, NO stupid music tracks, NO gratuitous special effects, just great visuals and natural sounds. You don't get that kind of filmmaking anymore. Continuity check - count the number of hubcaps that come off the Charger and how many are still on when it finally crashes!
Then there’s the continuity error of the cops all driving Diplomats, but then suddenly driving late 70s/early 80s Caprices when they get shot up or wrecked.
Honestly! You know the stunt car drivers had loads of Fun!!!
@@kevindwelle1625seriously! That alley sequence must have been both amazing and hell to do 😆
Natural sounds? Come on bro.
@@jinpingthebear110 So what year do you think this was bro?
This accurately portrays my daily commute to work. MOPAR ❤
Remember everyone this was done before CGI. This is true of all the great car chase scenes. It took talented people to pull them off. Thanks for posting.
yes I HATE CGI . it always looks fake anyway. I want the real thing. If i'm going to pay 50 dollars at the movies, I want to see some REAL damage and hope nobody gets killed.
What the name film?
@@javadabasi628 "Short time"
The cars we have now would not hold up under this kind of punishment
@@kystars you only know its fake when you know its cgi, what about those moments when you dont know its cgi and you think its real? ever seen the life of pi? you know how much cgi went into that?
thanks for posting this, totally agree, I play the photographer in this film that photos Dabny and Corbin, during the award ceremony on the steps of Vancouver City Hall, (you see me briefly at the bottom of the stairs holding the camera just after the flashes), and I was totally impressed (and surprised) with this chase and have claimed it one of the best since the first time seeing it. One very cool fact is that it was filmed in an area of Vancouver where the 1986 World's Fair was held, 'Yaletown' . All of those warehouses have been either extremely upraded to high-end shops, pubs, galleries, restuarants or have been replaced with high-end condo's, some in the ten's of millions, so it also holds a piece of history. Have always been proud of my very minor connection, largely because of that car chase.
Thanks for sharing your story.....I commented above that I'd actively searched for over a year to even find a copy of this movie... it was NEVER released on DVD... and it seems nobody heard of it... I managed to find a good condition VHS copy & had it shipped to me... it played perfectly.. so I took it to a business in town that converted it to DVD so it'll last... and no VHS "tracking" issues like back in the day. lol Great scene.. Good old American V8... sounds great, especially when the 4 barrels kicked in & it Breathes deep.... best part... NO CGI

😊
Some of the movie may have been filmed in Vancouver. But that car chase was filmed in downtown Seattle. The viaduct isn't there anymore and in one scene you can see the kingdome in the background it's not there anymore. But it was definitely filmed in Seattle.
@@kennithchapman9689 The final chase scenes are in New Westminster, near Vancouver. There is a massive elevated parkade near the waterfront with Front Street below it. Most of the parkade still remains although there are new high rise buildings being constructed there now. I drove on Front street just yesterday. This is the same location used in I, Robot.
@@matt.604 WRONG.... They're is NOTHING you can say that will convince me that that chase scene was not filmed in Seattle. It was get over it!!!🙂
Wow, this is one helluva car chase. How has this not received more recognition? I've never even heard of it and I'm definitely old enough. Thanks for posting, this one had me howling at my screen!
It didn't get Recognition because it Sucks !
It’s not so much a car chase as a car duel. Awesome post though!
@@makoshark69x96 you got a lot of learning to do sport
add this to the list of under rated movies along with Cohan and Tate , and Cloak and Dagger (another Dabney Coleman movie)
@MaNuLaToROfficial no where near as good as Bullet, the Seven Ups is probably the best.
I actually saw this movie at the Simi Valley drive-in when it came out. Blows my mind that in just about every top 10 list of movie car chases this one never even gets mentioned. Was totally blown away by this chase, 100% underrated
His realization when he was okay thanks to the seat belt, priceless.
That was back when Hollywood really knew how to trash cars.
put the evidence in the trunk lol
Detroit did it first.
Hollywood was just completing the process.
When they COULD trash cars.... Cars were built so much better. Now you tap something and the car falls apart
Carol Jones. They had a charm but you may be looking back a bit fondly.
My brother tapped a pole with my sisters 78 Ttop Trans Am his first four minutes driving the car. It was wrapped in half around the pole.
I used to drive those cars from Mavericks - Taurus. The 73-90 US bodies and drivetrains were mostly disposable. Cars didn't even get finished at the factory. Often dealer mechanics had to align doors and mount parts just tossed in the footwells before coming off the lines. Steel strikes and fuel targets caused factories to start using metal they once used for dashes and trunk linings. The sound coating of tar spray was to keep a door from denting as it rolled down the conveyor. The motors went out of tune constantly. When electronics were added in the 80s it got worse.
The 63-73 cars were modern and tough. The 55-62 US cars were heavy metal and very simple but few were unibody and they all rusted a lot.
Nostalgia is harder to feel when a young driver of the era is around. My favorite car of youth was a 1971 Cutlass Rocket 350 I got in 1978. The most durable car I've ever owned was a 1990 Mazda that went 20 years, 250,000mi on the original non rebuilt engine and clutch. Still looked fresh when I sold it in 2011.
I Will always Love it when you get a chance to get a side shot of the steel ramps up on rear end of the patrol car or something on the Duke's of Hazzard to the tires squealing and the cars are in the dirt 🤔 but I have been trying to get my car to do it for about 20 years 😂😂😂
This IS definitely one of the best ever chase scenes, exciting & funny to boot. I've loved "Short Time" ever since I saw it when I was 19, & it's really a cult classic among folks who remember it. I never was much of a Dabney Coleman fan, but he was really great in this role, a kind of manic, desperate frustration that's so hilarious. I'm kinda surprised this was never picked up in the whole "80's movie redux" thing, it's got a ton of potential.
It's not funny or exciting... it's very average !
Hey, if it had Gene Hackman in it, then I was gonna enjoy it!
sorry to hear as i loved Coleman as an actor . and who could not like max headroom as his partner. lol
Only place i see it playing is right here on YT (in low res unfortunately)
@@maddhatter3564 Best car chase in movies. Plymouth Gran Fury and Pontiac Boneville destroyeds
I love Dabney! Terrific actor and that chase was KILLER. I've gotta see this one, never saw it when it was out.
In case anyone was wondering those Diplomat squad cars handled extremely good. These all had the 318’s with roller cams. And some were optioned with 4 barrels. Incredible cars. This was the end of Mopars rein of fleet/patrol cars!
Grab a Ford Taurus and it would be dead with a hundred times less damage, now that showcases how tough these cars were (which isn't really a good thing in car accidents, but hey, it serves some purpose here)
Mighty *318!*
And the best a/c units in the fleet!
@@dennisyoung4631I've NEVER before read 318 and mighty in the same sentence.
@@waynetaylor8082 seems they can be breathed on heavy, if you’re inclined. There’s been a few vids showing some being drag raced.
The ones I’ve encountered in the past seemed to go acceptably well. Granted, not many, and many years ago, but still - compared to the feeble engines in the cars *I’ve* owned - a 318 seemed fairly stout.
Wow, Dr. Phil's gone crazy...
But seriously, this is great. I'll have to watch this movie in full.
Bahahahaha I haven't laughed that hard at a comment in a while! Thats a good one!
That should be the title
Does resemble ole Phil.
Dollie Parton was in a movie in the 80s called 9 to 5 about working women being treated unfairly. Dabney Coleman ( Dr. Phil) played the part of the boss
Dabney Coleman is still alive (late 80s ) & still acting, he was in an episode of NCIS & has 2 projects still to be released. (Info off Imdb.com).
@@cliffhigson7581 i hope he lives to be 100 years old. He will be 89 in 8 days.
i love how he survives the rollover, then takes off his seatbelt lol
he wanted to die so his family could collect insurance money iirc
Best scene ever I swear 🤣😂
He tried to take his own life!
Them Classic LTD Ford Crown Vic's, Chevy Caprice 9C1's, and Dodge Diplomat's!
These cars back then are true American Cars!
I loved it. I'd def put it up for contention with Blues Bros, Bullit, Ronin, etc, oh and Gone in 60. Hats off to the stunt drivers, coordinators, and mechanix for pulling it all off and coming up with the finished product
Don’t forget the French connection, maybe added as a runner up because of attitude.
And don’t pick your feet in Poughkeepsie!!
Ronin is the best
There is NO car chase better than BULLIT. The sound of that iconic Mustang is UNBEATABLE
You mean the one with dozens of double-clutched upshifts but no downshifts in the soundtrack? Right.
Charger sounded as good.
There were chase scenes better. To Live And Die In LA. Drive. The Seven Ups. The French Connection. The Blues Brothers. Many more.
@@kenbulut-oe8sbJust came here to point these same ones out! “To Live and Die in LA” has to be the best, far better than the overrated “Bullitt,” and Roy Scheider in “The Seven Ups” was fantastic. “Ronin” had some great driving as well.
I wish live action was still a thing in movies
It's coming back. The new Star Wars movie had started it off and it is because people have let Hollywood know that we are sick of CGI laden movies that are just eye candy. Substance and more realism is what is coming back and I am very much glad for it.
+Al Scarbrough Hope you are right about that. But CGI is so convenient and cheaper than having several cars to crash and to follow with a camera. And to close off areas in a city, where people live and work and they have to be inconvenient. But live action of car chases is better than CGI which I just repeated what you said.
Al Scarbrough Sci fi is no place for live action. "Rouge One" would definitely have been better had they not limited themselves with sets, in my opinion. But so far as non scifi and non fatasy movies go, Live action is definitely better.
Mad Max Fury Road has answered your wishes.
It is, watch LIVE PD on Fri and Sat. nights.
Having a death wish drastically changes your perspective on everything and opens up all doors of opportunity immediately 1:57
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was a kid. Awesome movie.
Hi five-star I'm a Brit, can you Tell me the name of this film?
joe butlersnr it’s called Short Time. Released in 1990
Haven't seen this in years. Thanks for bringing it back.
When a player just won't leave you the fuck alone on gta
LOL thats For Sure Especially when They MOD Their game!!
Me and like twenty or more other people I play online with do not play GTA V anymore just because of those players.
There are enough random kill each other events in the game that it is no fun to get accosted every time you leave your apartment.
Makes it harder to explore or just cruise around and it is really tough on the new players when people are just relentless assholes.
1400IntruderVS yeah me and a group of friends always run into people who are so bad they resort to using hydra jets and continuously kill us over and over again and It gets super annoying.
Vietnam_war_kid 1965 then you have to buy all armored cars just to keep yourself and your friends from getting blown away, either that or drive through a tunnel or a congested place.
Barely remember this movie, although of course I know of Dabney Coleman, a rock solid actor who always delivered first rate performances. I don't remember this chase sequence at all so what a ton of fun it was to see, cheers to all the production people on this project, it had to have been a logistics nightmare, definitely ranks way up there in Bullit , Seven Ups, Ronin, and French Connection territory, not to mention a few others. Masterful editing , no one does the Dabney like Dabney himself.
this is exactly why old movies are the best XD
yes such as DIRTY MARY AND CRAZY LARRY
This is amazing! how the hell have we never even heard of this???? Laughing and awestruck at the same time!! Thanks for posting man!!🤩
I have seen this movie before, and always thought this was a highly underrated or just forgotten car chase. One of the best.
It's not underrated at all... it's a very average chase scene !
Love the days of carbureted engine’s!
Carbs rule, bud!
@@413x398 I used to balance the two carbs in my '67 MGB with an instrument called a Uni-syn.
I watched them film this crash scene. Under the Front Street Parkade in New Westminster BC. The Highway chase scene was filmed in Delta BC and Queensborough BC. Hwy 91-91A.
+Jamie Smith Wow, that's neat! How old were you then?
+PotatoGunsRule 17
Front Street Parkade looks similar to Alaska Way viaduct.
OMG, I've never seen this before but you hit the nail on the head right there. Best car chase EVER. That was AWESOME!
Gotta love the 70's. Pre- computers, the Internet, and cell phones.
This is brilliant,can't believe I've never seen it before.
Love how they give him medal for this chase.
I've never seen this chase or movie until now. Thanks for the posting. : )
lmao thank you so much. I needed this after a very tough day!
Dabney Coleman....the badass!!!
I love this chase scene. The film as a whole was mediocre, but this sequence is genuinely very very good.
been a long time but as i recall i liked the whole thing. 2 great actors
I searched for over a year to try to find a copy of this movie... seems nobody heard of it.... It was NEVER available on DVD.... only VHS... I managed to find a VHS copy in great condition.... then I found a business that made a high quality copy on a DVD..... Love this chase.... Old school... NO CGI.... I love the sound of the old American V8 caruburated engines ... especially when the 4 barrels kick down & it Breathes! :)
I've seen so many "best" and "ever" titles with CZcams videos I barely give them a second look. However, dude, I believe that was the best ever car chase scene. Plus, it was hilarious!
I love how calm they are throughout the entire scene
Sure, they are not the drivers of the crazy cars.
Not only is this scene great, but it's a great movie in general. Very underrated! It's the perfect mix of action, comedy, and sentimentality. It also has a great message behind it, about how to enjoy life and not take it for granted.
what the heck was the name of this movie sorry getting old thank you
@@az0970449Short Time
This is a Classic Comedy and yes that is a Fury my buddy had one back in the day and color was olive green..thanks for the post !
There are a few chase scenes that stand head and shoulders above all the others. This one is in that top group. Love it.
Thanks, I had forgotten this movie entirely. There was a great deal of awesome stunt coordination done here! You're right, it is an epic and awesome chase.
Cars were a lot tougher back when they had bumpers.
The weight and power of muscle cars, no comparison. The best that Detroit built. Everyone in the 60's and 70' s loved these cars.
No they were built with steel!!! That's the difference!!
That's back when bumpers were bumpers. Now they are recycled pop bottles and milk jugs. Oops I hit a bird sorry sir your cars totaled . Back then when you hit something you still could drive home .
@@wreckerjonny6144 boy brother you nailed that!!
Bert! Your Yogurt! Lolol
How the hell did I miss this one? yes -easily one of the best car chases I’ve ever seen!
I loved watching Short Time when I was a kid Cheers mate
Man why buy today's car when back than they had cars like this which were beast and even run on half broken engine lol
Yea that reverse was where you screwed up, front is BOSS though.
I had a 79 Lincoln Town Car BTW, with the opera glass, and I thought about doing the same thing with it.
Well I don't know for sure about your exact model, but on my 79 my radiator was well protected by design, about 2 feet behind that bumper and big ass piece of solid aluminum it was mounted too.
I would of probably preferred a front impact over a rear where that 32 gallon fuel tank is, but I could be wrong.
Just realized, I watched this a year ago and commented on it, it's right under this thread, lol.
Supposedly the Dodge Diplomat/Plymouth Gran Fury are 'outlawed' in demolition derby because they are so stout.
Love the driver POV scenes going down Nobb Hill from both cars. On the big screen, you can FEEL the jumps like you were actually in the cars. Fan - f'ing - tastic!
It was filmed in Vancouver.
I've never even heard of this movie in my life, but that has to be some of the most impressive stunt driving I've ever seen done. Very, very impressed. I love most of the car chases out there, but I would have to agree, this one is one of the best out there. I would say other very close contestants would have to include Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry and any of them from the Jason Bourne films.
One of the funniest movies ever. Been looking for it for decades.
"Best Car Chase EVER"? Holy shit! I think you're right!
In my opinion, Bullitt, The French Connection, and the Seven Ups, in that order, are the three best chase scenes ever filmed, past or present. Steve McQueen did all his own stunt driving, something insurance companies would NEVER allow a movie superstar to do today! And the motorcycle stunt driver was killed. Look closely at the first impact. A shot of him getting up afterwards was added to "mask" what actually happened during the filming.
Your saying the motorcycle guy in Bullit that takes a spill was actually killed?
Ronin was pretty good.
Is great, thanks for upload.
Must say that was pretty epic chase.... and ohh WOW this clip brought back a flood of memories long forgotten. ioved this movie when i was a kid... haha thanx man.
Much better than all that CG crap [ bloody transformers]
Burt....your yoghurt!
Machine guns...All Right! Best line of the movie. Thank you for posting.
The uploader ain't lying...this is the best ever hahahah...how the hell did I miss this movie it looks awesome!
That 86 dodge diplomat got totaled by that pontiac catilina in the end.
Big ass pontiac.
Wow, that was a great chase scene.
Maybe not the best, but definitely up there…thanks for a reminder of this forgotten gem!
Jesus Christ, the sound that Pontiac made when it hit the Diplomat was fucking awesome. One of the best crash sounds I've ever heard, I wonder if that was live on the set?
Gotta love the Diplomat!!
Plymouth Grand Fury
UPGF54860 yeah that diplomat was high performance screaming madness
Hahahahaha.......We had Dodge Patrol cars. What a piece of shit. Definitely the lowest bidder for police contracts. Rolling junk, brand new in the fleet. Veterans always asked for cars that could stay on the road. Rookies got the junk Diplomats that were constantly in for repairs. Tow trucks loved the Dodge Diplomats, it kept them busy.
The old Dippy is shedding weight so it'll go even faster.
hendo337 hahaha perfect!
Lighter is faster lol
*Ok yeah this video description was correct, what a chase scene!!! Hands down the best*
Very well done, perhaps it indeed is the best one. Thanks.
Such a fun chase scene that I did not expect when I saw it in the theaters years ago.
This was very good, but I still pick Bullit #1. Borne Identity Mini Cooper chase is in top 10, as is Blues Brothers (various), Bourne Identity 2, and French Connection (although you can argue that is a car-train chase). Truly hard to pick an "unarguable" number one. Thanks for posting this.
Good one !!! Can't believe we didn't complain more about picture quality back then :-)
Man, I was looking for this seen, really intense.
...and the concept for GTA is born!
Lmfaooo
Naw, this is Saints Row 2
This is the best funny and unreal car chase ever. But my favorite is 'Armour of god car chase'.
Nice!!! I remember this flic, good job.
Thanks Bro, I never saw this one, what a hoot!
This is great!!! The car chase from The dead pool was pretty good too
this probably was not the best car chase but it is a one of a kind.it's may be top ten.you should give info about stunt drivers and stunt coordinator.they must have made a lot of good movies in Hollywood
THIS WAS SO FUCKING AMAZING!!!
Thank you for sharing this!!!
Excellent! Not only a cool chase but the funniest. How come I never heard of the movie? Thanks for posting.
It was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing. It was a great car chase but funny compared to the other movie car chase scene.
NMA-T ,GET THIS GUY OFF MY ASS!
I'M WIDE OPEN!
Lethal Weapon!
This crap was funny ? What are you 6 ? This was a Boring scene !
Shortest 1000 round clip and never had to do any reloading we should be so lucky to have such a weapon in our military 😂
absolutely right on the money. bullit doesn't come even close. a relatively unknown piece of chase scene from a time when they did chase scenes right.
Good car chase. I have not seen that movie. Thanks for the upload.
This is a pretty good car chase, but nothing tops the ORIGINAL 'Gone In 60 Seconds'......and I'm not talking about the lame remake attempt with Nicholas Cage.
'Bullitt' with Steve McQueen layed the foundation and set the mold for what an excellent car chase should be, but 'Gone In 60 Seconds' broke the mold and ran full speed to the all-time title of 'Best Car Chase EVER'
That was a slow-motion demo-derby lasting far too long. The acting, the editing, the pacing were all terrible. "Most Wrecks In A Film", okay. But hardly best car chase.
kawikahokulani The only problem I had with the Gone in 60 seconds chase was the music. Like this chase scene and Bullit, I like it when you can only hear the dialogue, the sound of engines roaring, squealing tires, and grinding metal.
kawikahokulani AMEN!
John Rosa You're not too smart obviously...
DrBIeed Haha, You mean that synthesizer crap. Hahahaha! That isnt the real music, thats re-released junk because they weren't allowed to use the real music H.B. Halicki payed for...
What about the Blues Brothers chase? Or original Vanishing Point? So many great car chase movies out there.
Yeah, the Blues Brothers is one of the greatest car chase scenes of all time, Bullitt included.
I remember really good chase scenes in one of the Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) movies, also White lightning (Burt Reynolds I think), and a Trucking one -- White Line Fever (Jan-Micheal Vincent) !!
Cop tires, cop shocks, 440 cubic inch power plant...
Cool video! Thanks for posting 👍
Oh my word! Of course...this is a much forgotten car chase scene when the whole genre is discussed. This definitely beats THE Bullitt scene...if only by being more epic alone. My favourite is still the various from 'Blues Brothers' though. I remember this film (Short Time) and being surprised that not only did it make it directly to the cinema (despite not having a conventional A-list lead but also that I bothered to go watch it; I was glad I did because it not only was a great comedy but it served to show me at a young age, that Hollywood and success doesn't have to be all show. Good choice dude
This crappy scene is nowhere near as good as Bullitt ! This was a boring scene !
Grand Theft Auto cops in a nutshell.
HOLY SHIT THIS GUY IS FUCKING CRAZY!
I agree...an excellent car chase. thanks for the post!
that was good !thanks i love car chases
Never see a Camry or Civic hold up like these cars
Watch "The French Connection"
I remembered seeing this back
In the 80s and this is the greatest chase that's ever been filmed...
Oh man I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. Definitely have to give it a watch again
Holy shit... that was actually awesome

pretty good..check out 'the Driver" with Ryan O'neal..
THIS WAS AMAZING !
Hahaha, I have never seen this before, but it was awesome! Thumbs up.

they sure don't build em like they used to
I bet they went through at least a dozen of those during filming!
Yes, back in the day when these rusted out right before your very eyes.
