[auaiao9]

@CanuckaLocomia I would've never caught it.

[memphistenn77]

I WANT A 1990  CAPRICE POLICE CAR NOW!!!!!!!!!

[1995bisquick]

Something funny when they were in the tunnel in the crown vic you can see that the cluster is illuminated, yet not even the parking lamps nor tail lamps were on

[27twilightmoon]

the last year for these oldtimers

man they are great!

[Headphoneguy92]

5:26

i came!

[dkc2lover]

when the crown vic crashed into the pickup truck, all cars today would not start up again, they would die

[jbrian80]

@dkc2lover Seen a BMW X3 rammed another car and the yuppie crap is crippled. The rad support are mad entirely of some composite plastic, so it pushes everything to the engine pulleys. The subframe is probably warped.

[dkc2lover]

go 89 crown vic

[schrodingercat91]

80's Crown Vic's rule !!!! I owned a '82 and an '88 This one is an '86 or an '87, and with no 1/2 vinyl roof it's a Police Interceptor with the 351 engine..

[Ghostwriter14]

Excuse me, is this the Policeman's Ball? One of the BEST lines of the movie! Gotta love Dennis Farina! Catch ya on the flip side.

[L0rM]

The hubcap at 3:20 always makes me laugh :D

[EvanesEmperor]

4:57-5:14 had me fuckin ROLLIN!

[001chatlos001]

@EvanesEmperor

hahaha

[UFO29]

Heh, notice how the seat belt usage switches from scene to scene... Nice chase, makes me eager to drag my 9C1 Caprice out of retirement and go jump some curbs.

[nicman419]

Pittsburgh Police drove Pontiac Bonnevilles back then. And if your keeping track, how do they go from Mount Washington to Center St. in Duquesne to coming out on 8th Ave in West Homestead in one sequence? Or take Bigelow Blvd towards downtown....but be driving towards Oakland?

[L0rM]

@nicman419 It's a movie. Local accuracy isn't really what the movie director is going for..

[CarChases88]

Great Car Chase

[fordxbgtfalcon]

iv always thought this chase scene was one of the best ever/

[QRXenomorphs]

Wow has Bruce been doin some street racing in his spare time?

[mrradiochicken]

i miss when america made cars like this

[jbrian80]

I am drooling while watching this

[jimmyshakeryogigen]

ちんさむロード　ﾀﾞｲﾊｰﾄﾞ版？？

[BWDrayttt]

Someone knows exactly the year of production of this Caprice ? Is it the model before the face-lift of 1985 or is it the 1985 model already ? (sorry but they're so rare here in Europe it's very difficult to recognize them)

[TransitKid88]

@BWDrayttt the gray caprice driven by Bruce Willis is the 1987-1989 face-lifted model with composite headlights. It doesn't fall into the 1990 model year because 1990 models had door mounted seatbelt brackets. 1987-1989 Caprices had the seatbelts mounted on the B pillars of the car.

[jakeharris2010]

@BWDrayttt well they were called impalas from the late 70's and onto the early eightes and they were given a face lift in 86 and changed the name to caprice and changed very little in the late eitghtes by changing the nose and wheelcaps and the style stayed until 1991 when they changed the bodystyle. The caprice they used in this scene was probably either a 89 or a 90

[dawnofthecavy7804]

The movie until 90's is the really best!

[dasiege77]

4:57 - 5:10 one of the best scences in action film history

[BWDrayttt]

@dasiege77 Dude can you explain me how you mark a certain passage of a video in a comment like you did here ?

[dasiege77]

@BWDrayttt just type the time in the comment box like this 1:22

[trisdoo]

Those cars are tough, just look at 2:38- 2:40.

[Brooklyn7071]

This is definately in the top 5 of all time.

[onlypresto]

fraisers dad

[MacraStraba]

That was intense.

[27twilightmoon]

really good

[ebay1987]

*C H E V R O L E T C A P R I C E * !!!

[marchrabbit85]

5:02 Fucking hell! Dat was cool! Today not make movies like this :(

[theprodigy412]

whos the 1 fag who disliked this video seriously? (412)

[whichway103]

Send an ambulance? Send the Coroner!

[graywolfproduction8]

Cool car chase.

[Danofthewar]

When the hubcap came off and rolled down the road, I totally LOL'd so hard!!!

[swastikausa]

I love this movie I dont know why the critics panned it and im not just saying that cause ive got a stalker crush on bruces daughter.

[ukgaragetv]

can some 1 plz help the chase scene u see here ive seen in another film the same footage and everything just mins the clips of bruce willis driving does anyone else no the film

[SabinaVelvetCat]

@ukgaragetv You're talking about the opening sequence of the movie "Ablaze", which was a total copy/remake of the 70's disaster movie "City on Fire". And you're right; I have "Ablaze", and the opening scene is exactly the same chase as this one, only with different in-car clips.

[jacx11]

ULTRA-Soft suspension - YEAH! :D

[fcukeveryone1]

Both the Crown Victoria and the Caprice are dope.

[funkycomposer1]

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

[theprodigy412]

@funkycomposer1 and in duquesne were they go down the huge hill

[Zimcash]

love when the hup caps come off lol

[TripleZ89]

3:20... best part, the hub cap!!! :D You don't have that in today's movies!!

TODAY cars have rims, or the cars are computer animated, and the pure essence of a real car chase is gone. This is by far one of the greatest car chases I have ever seen! These cars were rough and kept going. Today's cars... ? Plastic! PSH!

[polska207]

a Crown vic vs a Caprice awesome chase

[DodgeMan360]

@polska207 Classic

[speeta]

Impressive and notable for coming up with fresh-looking stunt choreography and terrain at a time when Hollywood car chases felt like they'd already been done to death may times over.

Note the usual continuity errors like the Ford losing it's front bumper cover in a mid-chase collision and then having it back again for the rest of the chase.

[vigilante11485]

And let's not forget the same blue Ford Escort- that appears three different times, in completely different locations.

[TheSuperCRASHer]

AWESOME CHASE folks.

[joeygoesbananas]

this is by far one of my favorite movies!! came out when i was only a year old.... i was watchin it at age 8~ by far one of the best Bruce Willis has done! love this movie!! im gonna try and own it again.

[cld783]

@deanernet

the rear sway bar also confirms that.. in the beginning it said they were chasing a 89 ford but it was actually 87 or older.

[Fantafare]

Just the body style alone shows it has to be an '87 or older.

[cld783]

confirming it was an ex police vehicle.. I happen to own an 87 so your not telling me anything i dont already know

[DBR96A]

Where the police have the blue car surrounded is right where Ben Roethlisberger wrecked his motorcycle.

[gwentomnion]

I recognized every place they went there except the field and hill at the end. Was that in Arlington heights?

[wck1117]

the hill at the end is in duquesne

[carbonfootprintmyass]

dont the guy get away and frasiers dad die

[Kenster1025]

I don't think cops drive like that, they usually take it slow when it comes to heavy traffic, and I don't think they fishtail like that either, it would be more controlled less volatile.

[actisac]

Did this movie helped mr.bruce willis a.k.a john mcclane to learn his driving skills to drive and save time and the city in a ford taxi in die hard 3 with a vengeance and Die hard 4 in Police cruiser to survive an aerial assault by a utility helicopter(A-Star) with a french merc armed with an m4 sopmod? i think bruce is a gifted driver/rider.

[TransitKid88]

Actually, in Die Hard 3 Bruce had a Caprice much like this chase here.

[dsportnissan]

can somebodt please tell wtf that ford was made of damn!? fuckin tank shit lol

[TransitKid88]

1987 lLTD Crown Victoria. I think it had a 302, but not sure.

[jpgbrookes]

@TransitKid88

The dash had a 140 mph speedometer, so it might have been a police model. My brother used to own an 1989 LTD with a 302 and it had a 120 mph speedometer.

[socalltd]

@jpgbrookes it seems to be a mid 80's 351W cop version, owned one

it had the 140 speedo

[socalltd]

@dsportnissan them fords are just smaller version of the bigger 70's LTD's.

they are built the same way, heavy! just about 4,100lbs. even now, its the same car underneath. same for the chevy.

[dsportnissan]

@socalltd shit i'm trying to get me a side car and I want something big like this :)

[dsportnissan]

they're so calm

[albosl]

this is GTA

xD

[Katzpalace]

hey thats what im talking about

[xXdavidroeck1996Xx]

looks fun wen the cars jumps

[TheFingledorf]

WHOA! That ending was insane! I love it!

[TheFingledorf]

4:57 - 5:12 It's like a flippin' dance number! XD

Great car chase. They just don't make 'em like they use to.

I do have a question: would it be possible for a sniper or someone on a helicopter to disable the engine using some sort of device? [I'm no mechanic so I don't know how those things work, really.] I know this is 1993, but it seems like today they'd have the technology for that sort of thing.

[Sensekhmet]

If the engine was fitted with some sort of remotely operated killswitch then yes. No need for a helicopter either, it could be done using satellite. I think some theft prevention systems already use this.

[eldo59]

The hubcap at 5:45 LOL One of the best chases ever!

BTW does anyone know where that street with all the hill jumps is at in Pittsburgh?

[Javinism]

i like the when they off the road

[ilovepolice1]

you can see the siren system at the beginning

[jbrian80]

If Mr Hardy dis the stunt just like in Die Hard 3 (whacking the bad due in dodge ram) then movie ends here!

[ZorbinEUR]

Ford LTD and tons of Caprices. dam, gotta love that. too bad they wrecked the ford in the end. good movie by the way

[marshfinch]

Movie so extremely underrated. One of Willis' best, and the Pittsburgh locations contribute to it enormously.

[93740il]

I agree caprices and impalas were great- but the crown victorias were also awesome

[badgerbuddy]

wow impalas, and caprices as far as the eye can see

[CDTbossy]

I don't want to think about how movies will be when all American automakers are gone, probably nothing I would like to see...

[AbeTakawa]

2:20 poor police,

from 5:16 to 5:24 crazy pile up

0:35,2:42 and 5:23 the same car appered?

[clipobserver]

There were two officers in that car that blowout. Sadly, they weren't the only ones who died in the chase, granted I know it's a movie. Surprised, the passenger officer didn't grab his gun and shoot the driver.

[Z0hann]

Awesome scene, I got so pissed when it is discovered the LT was killed. :(

[WVRadarRunner]

"Tommy, you've been fucking your brand new partner, haven't you??!!"

[TransitKid88]

American police package sedans. Truly one of a kind!

[CerebralTantrum]

80s Caprices rule!!

[chpman2013]

80's Caprices AND Impalas!!

[Vincentdeep]

@CerebralTantrum And the king Crown Vic LOL!

[weaponexpert1]

@CerebralTantrum 90s caprices rule more

[dkc2lover]

@weaponexpert1 No they don't then 80's-90's crown vic

[weaponexpert1]

@dkc2lover yeah.... the crow vic is pretty good (my favorite is the 1989), but i just like caprices much more and that's the reason i drive one(95 9c1),too

[1995bisquick]

@weaponexpert1 that car isnt an 89 because mine is an 84 and looks like the CV in the movie ford discontinued that design in 87, and completely revamped it in Mid 1991 for the 92 model year.

[lawman722]

who's the best cop.......

[lorri789]

"Call an ambulance" lol

[shelw54]

It's so funny watching the cars going up the hills. 4:57 Great chase thanks 4 posting.

[CuervoBlack06]

The first time I saw this I thought eddie the dog was gonna be in the back seat hiding. lol

[HollywoodAngel08]

Thanks for uploading this
