The front left tie rod indeed broke @02:26 when he blasted the train track. The car that amazingly spun off of the train tracks was repaired, it appears to be the same vehicle. 💯💯
Broke the steering arm when the car hit the train tracks, used the second chase vehicle to complete the chase going by the different front end panel damage
Yeah, that part looked really odd. Obviously, broke the steering and control arm but good. Obviously an accident left in the film. But what was the original intention? Was the stunt driver supposed to launch the car off that stack of railroad ties?? That little section stands out as one painful blooper in an otherwise well-choreographed car chase.
Virtually all of those Plymouths were retired from fleets by 1973. About 30 were destroyed in "Gone In 60 Seconds" which came out the next year. You could buy one at an auction for $300 or even less back then.
That ramp at 2:17 through the glass was risky since the car had to land and then make a turn out of the parking lot with a parked car in the path. If the landing damaged the car it might not be able to turn at all and thus plow straight into the car. As it were, it appears it may have still not fully made the turn without colliding since they cut the shot. This was a fantastic chase and made a not so cool Plymouth sedan actually look pretty muscular. I remember the first time I heard this on TV at home. I heard what sounded like a chase so I went in the room and watched it. Then looked it up in the guide so I could try to record it next time it aired.
I was little back then. All that crap was past my bedtime. Bedtime was grossly underappreciated at the time. Now I can see what it spared me from seeing. ;D
@@michaelhoskins832 I'm not talking about how the scene was filmed in real life; I'm talking about how the car had a ruined front wheel at 2:30 and then didn't in the next shot at 2:32.
To be honest, I don't think that the Plymouth could match the Honda CB500 Four's 5 second 0-60 time or 14 second 1/4 mile. These little 4 cylinder Hondas packed about 50 hp in about a 400 lb bike, so the Plymouth would need over 400 hp to match the power to weight ratio of the Honda. That being said, it would come down to the driver's skill.
Yeah I slowed it down and paused it take a look at Grandma in the back seat! Oh she wasn't Grandma there. Say the film was about 1970 and say she's 20. That better 70 to 75 years old now for her age. I know they could pick up that car for 25 to 50 bucks back then. But why do they have tear up a 63 Chevy? And did anybody else see that Dodge when they try to bouncing across the railroad tracks they broke at least tie rod.
The one chased had Honda #%^ing CB 750. A #$%^&ing superbike. Just go straight up to 120mph and forget that plymouth. Depending on engine etc. theoretically Plymouth can top max speed but motorcycle definitely accelerates much better.
Another shitty Bronson movie, but man, that was a stiffly sprung Plymouth! Mopars tended to corner flatter than their competition, but the police cars were in another league. Kudos to the rider of the Honda for doing some hairy maneuvers also.
I think it's amazing how the Chrysler Corporation knew how to build cars that flew, crashed, exploded, burned, won races and were even bigger stars than the actors back then!
I know that Chrysler was very fond of providing cars to the studios: in Australia they were exclusive car suppliers to Crawford Productions...Valiants were on TV almost every night of the week. (They also produced thousands of excess cars on spec in the vain hope of attracting buyers...this drove the second hand prices through the floor, making them a popular choice for stunt sequences.)
That was fucking awesome.... love that old Honda 750 four, really lays rubber nicely.... and the way the Plymouth crashes through buildings.... yes I did love it!😂😂😂😂
Homie was picking that Plymouth out of his ass, in the end. Don't start shit you can't finish, probably some "good guy" that's even more ruthless than you, for spilling coffee on his sport coat.
Back in the 70’s my friends dad had bought a used detectives car well my buddy put that car through hell example he hit a double dip at 65 well the car never bottomed out I was amazed.
A very rare Dodge L 600 / L 700 straight truck at the very beginning . It closely resembles the much smaller Dodge A 100 light duty series . The L series were produced from 1967 - 1971 in the US and Canada where they were called Fargo trucks .
Patrick Rogers The Ford "C" cab is very similar, but more common than the Dodge. It is cool to see one in film. Makes you wonder how producers can find rare vehicles to put in their films.
The reason why Chrysler products were used so much in movie chases and stunts. Was because it took very little to modify suspension and cars for stunts. Pretty much turn the torsion up a couple of turns and put heavy duty shocks all the way around.
Yup, they turned the torsion bars up and added leafs in rear for sure. On all 5 cars (minimum) they wrecked filming this horribly cut scene. Ive seen better continuity in CARTOONS
The car or cars doing the big jumps and whoops are def police package cars. Pretty much a 4 door Road Runner. Ive seen the 68 and 9 satellite police package with 318,383 2bl, 383 super commando. Fuel economy plays into Fleet buys. with 318s being the common ones. Supervisor and traffic enforcement tended to get. 383. Regardless of engine size theyre all Road Runner underneath.Looks like its one or two cars doing all the jump work till they kill it with that rail jump gone wrong.
@@twoeightythreez I had a friend who'd get drunk and try this shit with his car, wrecked it every time. Any time you do a jump with a reg car it totally screws everything up.
Chiles Russell-Taylor Yep,how could I overlook Charles... R.I.P. to them both. I think Charles died in 02 and John died in 03: at a kind of a premature death from a rare cause...
Like the Ragaholic said “you do not fuck with Bronson” . I’d love to see the conversation between the director and stunt coordinator for this, Director: do we need to upgrade and reinforce the car? Coordinator: it’s a full size mopar, the car is a fuckin’ tank.
Those cars couldn't, either. They likely wrecked at least 5 cars filming this....and likely many more....5 is only the number of jumps and hits that obviously disabled the car. Ever wonder why old iron is so rare nowadays (despite MILLIONS BEIMG MADE)? Movies like these.
The car going through the outdoor market is the corner of Figueroa and York Blvd in Highland Park area of Los Angeles. I grew up near there. Doesn't look like that anymore sadly. I remember that Boys Market and the Thrifty Drug store.
Whoever the stunt driver was , he got one hell of a surprise when he hit that railroad track , watching that almost snapped my wrist.
👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Deflected that car with ease!

Had a 69' Plymouth Satellite exactly like it except in green. Was my daily driver for 4 years. Loved that car. Still miss it to this day.

@1:11 both right side headlights are shattered. @ 1:19 they are fully in tact. What is this thing? Christine?
He broke the tierod or LCA when he hit the railroad track at 2:29, you can see the tire lopped over - still one heck of a good chase
Great chase scene
I love those 69 and 70 Plymouth Belvedere/Satellite models. Great body style and tough.
Good old Bronson saddens me too see all these 70s cars get destroyed
( probably already mentioned ).. But... The bike in the chase is a 750K Honda.. The one he lay's down is a 550.. 🙂
GREAT Chase and also.. The 69 Plymouth Belvedere .. my Favorite City Police Car ..
truth
Cool chase!🤘😎👍
Back then were better movies better stuntmen ..better car chasing better action and better built cars ..than what they got now
Shows you how tough Mopar's torsion bar suspension was.
I was little back then.
All that crap was past my bedtime.
Bedtime was grossly underappreciated at the time.
Now I can see what it spared me from seeing. ;D
The good old days when there was no CGI.
Why did they reshhot the scenes, like the car going through the building three times?
My mom used to have this crappy Green Plymouth Station wagon that overheated when driven for long periods of time under a hot sun
What make is the cop car @ 5:00?
I've never seen a Dodge van cabover medium duty box truck before!
That's weird looking to me.
Cool cool
A set of ball joints and it’s ready for more
Modern cars wouldn't even get past the 3rd table at the flea market .
That '69 Plymouth satellite / belvedere has what it takes for a pursuit car!
4:35 -- Ralph Waite was a hoot as a clumsy detective.

Dude, don't put the clips 3x in a row...

This, was from, 72, Bronson , stone killers. He makes a guy swallow a, Rolex.
Looks like a cameraman walks in the shot, wearing a pink top, at 2:06
Looks like about a '69 Belvedere!
It'll buff out!
So how did that destroyed front wheel miraculously heal itself and straighten back up after hitting the railroad track?
They more than likely used at least 2 different cars to film that scene.
@@michaelhoskins832 I'm not talking about how the scene was filmed in real life; I'm talking about how the car had a ruined front wheel at 2:30 and then didn't in the next shot at 2:32.
79 Dodge Magnum at the start.

How about Death proof? You could maybe put it in mopar, it's 2 to 1. 2 mopars to 1 chevy
Might need an alignment.
Just show the clip without the replays of jumps.....please ....or do it at the end.....

When he hit the train track it busted the weel off. So after the train track it was another car.

Still love the squealing tires on dirt...
No Flea Market is gonna get in Bronson's way.
Which one is the bad guy? Bronson hit everything.

3:01 Use the cop muscle car as weapon. That's what I like to see.
A car chase little boys would like. That’s all.
Pretty Lame 45 years later, Sad to see the Honda beat up, 550 or 750?

Kinda hokey compared to The Seven Ups, Bullitt and The French Connection.
Keep your hands off my melons.
So...some 4 banger honda (i'm guessing) can't out run a plymouth? Zombies could out run the plymouth.
Back in the good ole unwoke days
At the end of the chase the axle was broken in two and the gearbox was burnt out, But there wasn't a hair out of place on bronsons moustache
I think it's amazing how the Chrysler Corporation knew how to build cars that flew, crashed, exploded, burned, won races and were even bigger stars than the actors back then!
And they even fixed themselves DURING A CHASE.
Bronson must have been stunt doubling for Arnie Cunningham
