No stupid special effects like the new movies always have. You can't jump an old Mustang more than 50' or so and still be driving. Love the old cars and time frame. You can definitely tell when he has the unplanned accident. Heckuva shot to the car. My favorite part is the Mustang rounding an intersection corner with full pursuit behind. The car sticks tight in the corner and not the wacky Starsky slides and drifting they go overboard on these days. Looks tough and more real.
WOW!!!! This is way better than the newer 2000 version. It's kind of like the original Walking Tall. The original movies from the seventies are just that, they are original and the newer versions can never seem to do them justice! This movie is non stop action. If you like crush em' up, bang em' up and wild car chases from the great decade of the 70's, then this movie is for you. There is a forty minute police chase in this movie!! It's great!!! The maker of this movie, H.B. Halicki, whom also starred in the movie does all the chases and stunts and it is incredible!! There were 93 cars destroyed in the making of this movie!!!!! I loved it and my teenage son has watched it more than he ever watched the 2000 remake. Don't let this one slip between your fingers. Own it if you can.
Any film lover has to see this. Second to Blues brothers in car crashes!!

The original 1974 version by far has one of the greatest car chases in movie history. The re-make with Nicolas Cage does not even compare. The cars that are stolen in the 1974 version are in a way "harder to steal" in the sense that some were actual race car drivers cars such as Parnelli Jones' offroad Bronco! The second the yellow `73 Mustang (Eleanor) come flying out of the parking garage my mouth hit the floor and stayed there for the duration of the 45 minute chase! A few of the accidents and crashes werent even planned but look so good they still used the footage! I think what also helped was that the director was the stunt driver.
