Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2006-07-22 20:13	A pretty good 1970s car chase
Skid ◊ 2007-10-08 02:49	Just watched it on YouTube. It was pretty wild stuff, although the direction was a bit sloppy and I didn't like the dubbed-over 4 cylinder engine sound effects. The YouTube version also had the cop interrogating the suspect after pulling him out of his crashed car...both were so perfectly calm after this high speed chase and crash that it was utterly hilarious.
Sergei_Mosin ◊ 2011-03-13 01:12	Geico is using clips from the chase scene in their latest commercial. It drove me CRAZY the first time I saw it; I knew I recognized the scenes!
CougarTim ◊ 2011-03-13 05:32	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzFLWYF5hQU In the actual movie footage, I can spot a 1974-1976 Ford (Gran Torino) Elite, a 1966 Dodge Coronet, a 1973 Plymouth Fury, and a Datsun. In the close-ups of the "drivers" there are modern cars in the background.
tonyrome ◊ 2013-06-23 21:37	There are a lot more cars in this film than are noted here. I'll add a selection.
tonyrome ◊ 2013-06-23 22:03	Completed.
karoomay ◊ 2013-06-24 02:54	tonyrome, could you please provide image replacements for the cars that were previously listed before you added more, because your images are better quality.
Sandie ◊ 2013-06-24 02:57	Also, when adding a movie in non-HD quality please resize the images to 720px or less. Here 640 would have been most appropriate. I resized them for you here.

Will do. Sandie wrote Also, when adding a movie in non-HD quality please resize the images to 720px or less. Here 640 would have been most appropriate. I resized them for you here. OK, new images will be 640 pixels width for this film.
tonyrome ◊ 2013-06-25 09:38	I'll have to go through the film again but will try to do that later today. Should I post new images, copying the vehicle detail from the existing images or do you want me to post the new images here, within the comments section?
Sandie ◊ 2013-06-25 21:12	Upload them as thumbnails on the existing pages. One of the mods will input them from there.
tonyrome ◊ 2013-06-26 17:11	Sandie wrote Upload them as thumbnails on the existing pages. One of the mods will input them from there. Work is now complete. I have uploaded new images for each of those already posted plus added more, which had been missed by the original poster. Here's another Remy Julienne sequence from the main chase. As mentioned by Skid, following a massive crash... ...the drivers seem to be in remarkably good shape -- Last edit: 2013-06-26 17:24:50
tonyrome ◊ 2013-06-26 18:19	Helicopter used at the start and end of the film.
night cub ◊ 2016-10-11 04:20	@Classics fan - Are you planning on doing replacement pics? Your quality is much better than the current ones.
Classics fan ◊ 2016-10-11 09:49	night cub wrote @Classics fan - Are you planning on doing replacement pics? Your quality is much better than the current ones. Ok, I can do that. I have to post the new pictures on the vehicle's page, right? -- Last edit: 2016-10-11 09:55:43
walter ◊ 2016-10-11 15:19	Classics fan wrote I have to post the new pictures on the vehicle's page, right? Yes, that's the right way.
Classics fan ◊ 2016-10-11 20:19	Ok, thanks.
Classics fan ◊ 2016-10-13 08:51	Is this a Catalina or a Laurentian( the red behind the 2+2)?
night cub ◊ 2016-10-13 08:55	It's too small to tell
Classics fan ◊ 2016-10-14 20:58	This Mustang is too small, but it seems me very interesting with this decal on it.
night cub ◊ 2016-10-21 01:06	Great job Classics fan!! Looks complete now.
Classics fan ◊ 2016-10-21 11:15	Thanks a lot, night cub, I appreciate it! Thanks for the oppurtunity!

ianmax69 ◊ 2020-03-21 14:31	Am quite suprised no one noticed the Pontiac Firenza... AKA Vauxhall Viva HC quite a rare car to see even in Canada by then.. they where quite controversial in you couldn't get parts for them in Canada Ive now added it

Travco motorhome (What is O'Keefe?)

Baube ◊ 2024-11-05 02:06	yep , there was also Labatt , which has been one of the Montréal Expos sponsor ( or at least associated with ) for a while Link to "www.etsy.com" and mostly known to me for their funny ads looks like O'Keefe were also involved in sport too -- Last edit: 2024-11-05 04:02:54
