The master touch (1972) car chase

[Hot80s]

CPU stunts havent fooled me yet.

This is what its all about.

Hollywood, learn from your recent mistakes.

[Hot80s]

3:18 LOL

[Hot80s]

Christine looks like she needs to take a pee with her yellow eyes.

[quirpco]

Christine's ugly sister.

[robbie4035able]

@quirpco Check out the california kid movie,one more ugly sister with an attitude?

[6FGX9]

that powerslide at 2:39 is INSANE!

[TA1LGATER]

this car chase is funny :D

[TheGriffdog1]

good car chase....thumbs up

[JoshHeathMacElvain]

Yeah now thats a car chase,....and one hell of a 58 Plymouth Fury!

[themadhacker2]

@JoshHeathMacElvain

It's a 58, but not a fury. the trim was slightly different and they only came in biege.

[KaRidder234]

Das Auto als Waffe/ the car as a weapon. Priceless!!!

[TierodMcslush]

the purple car changes from a 1958 Plymouth Fury to a 1960 Dodge Pioneer with fins welded to the back of it....then back to the 58, then back to the 60 for a while....then back to the 58 in the end

[0takuMetalheadGamer]

Now that's a car chase and not those CGI overloaded shitty remakes or modern movies. *points at gone in 60 sec. remake*

[rob0711]

Very nice Car Chase! My Dad has an Opel Admiral like this!

[fairportfan2]

This is SERIOUSLY undercranked to make it look faster.

[zenmachinefilms]

Awesome. Hollywood wouldn't make a car chase like this today. They'd put a bunch of smack dialog in it, plus hyper music, and a giant crash or CGI explosion every few seconds.

[gusneaker]

I love it!!! Especialy the MAGIC Plymouth!! Ha ha ha ha!!!!

It changes constantly from an intact Fury '58, to a modified '62 model... Ha ha ha!!!

Thank you for sharing this video!

[god0fgod]

Hey Heeeeey!

[weewtrteert]

Regarding the two different cars used by the chasee:

The makers of the movie honestly couldn't spring for two of the same type of car? The least they could have done is gotten a couple with the same number of doors even if they are different makes from different years.

That aside, great chase.  So good I didn't even notice the two different cars until it was pointed out to me.

[chickenwarrior]

For sale: Extremely rare custom convertible, low mileage, insanely reliable, one owner. Could use some TLC.

[lalbruiz]

...and that Plymouth is leaking gas at 0:24...

[charlieflint]

"God, my back hurts, it's taken me literally all day to stack these cardboard boxes so neatly out on the street, I hope a couple of crazy hoodlums don't come tearing down here and crash through them in slow motion and from several points of view...".

[onebigkahuna69]

this must be magic the plymouth goes from being a two door car too a four door car while its being chased.

[twonine3]

@onebigkahuna69 I wasn't sure if my eyes were fooling me or not.

[neatoauctions]

High marks to the production crew that weaved this work together. (Clearly, tail fins didn't fall from fashion, they were outlawed.)

[willyboi708]

How did they do that??!! 1960 Dodge with 1957 Plymouth tail fins??!! Help me understand!!!!

.

[eze14213]

0:04 so he opened the door started up the car put it in drive and took off in literally 1.5 seconds??

[lalbruiz]

@eze14213 Damn, that was my exact thought also, I thought I was not getting it right...LOL.

[lamarchesado]

Thanks for uploading this :-)

There's a nice car chase also in Troppo Rischio per Un Uomo Solo aka The Magnificent Dare Devil...I wish somebody could upload it too

[1ncinirator]

Physically, cars of today could not perform those kind of scenes, except maybe a full size rear wheel drive (Ford Crown Vic). Back then, metal&steel, today, plastic&5mph bumpers and side curtain airbags!

[BAfansWillNeverDies]

COOL DRIFT AT 2:40!!

[crayman31]

The back end of that car would be very fucked at the end!

[chrisboy29]

57 or 58 plymouth!!!!

[Mechknight73]

@chrisboy29 Definitely not a '58 Plymouth Belvedere. That was the model "Christine" was based on. The Fury as I understand it, is a Belvedere coupe with a better Hemi engine. From what I know, it wouldn be a '57. Back in the days when Opel made strong bodywork

[CycolacFan]

@Mechknight73

My understanding is that this IS a '58 Belvedere, looks like that trim. I believe the Hemi was available in any of the cars, even the base model wagons. Christine was based on a Fury but that movie used a number of Belevderes.

[Mechknight73]

@CycolacFan There's one point where the rear end of the car doesn't look how a '58 does. The fins look different, regardless of whether it was a Fury or a Belvedere. Somebody should have noticed when they were prepping the cars to do the chase lol

[irobot2009able]

there two different car if you look when the chase first started

[Speeddemon3]

Damn! And it's a chase with a 58 Plymouth Fury!

[Auggie56]

@Speeddemon3 That changes into a 60' Dodge at one point.

[Speeddemon3]

@Auggie56 I made that comment about 20 secs in. lol!

[mrgears]

@Auggie56 Yeah, they switch back and forth. The Dodge is 4dr with fake fins. The Plymouth was a 2dr. Like, no one would notice?

[neatoauctions]

To MrGears > Re: "Fake Tail fins"

So the tail fins on one of the cars were fake/applied?

[mrgears]

@neatoauctions Exactly. The 58 Plymouth in the first 1:30 is the real deal. For the next 30 seconds we see a 1960 Dodge Dart, then the cars alternate in appearance back and forth. The fins were applied to the Dart were fabricated. If you google a picture of an actual 1960 dart, you'll see it does have fins but no where near as large as the Plymouth.

[morrismagic08]

Hey! fella, your chassis is showing! A bit of body filler and hammer and dolly she'l buff up like new!

[southwriter]

First, it's a '57 Plymouth, then it becomes a '60 Dodge Dart. What? Was the movie on a $100. budget?

[AltSysRqSync]

@southwriter Or maybe because that Opel was much more strong... lol

[zambonitron]

@AltSysRqSync

Was it an Opel or a Ford Taunus??

[AltSysRqSync]

@zambonitron It was an Opel Admiral. Rekord, Admiral (both Opel) and Taunus (Ford) look rather similar.

[suir52]

The two door Plymouth changes to a four door Dodge then back again and then back again!!!They didn't make much of an attempt to match the cars! A Citroen Safari gets it's doors ripped of, a Ford Taunus is crushed betwwen the two cars and loses it's roof, a DKW falls off the transporter onto the roof of the Opel, some car chase!

[4tom2u]

good eye, anyway waste of nice cars

[classicczech]

@suir52 LOL, I noticed that too. Especially the Plymouth suddenly turning in a Dodge and back...

[jeepers2655]

plymouth to a dodge with fins attached.....must of wrecked the plymouth in the chase.......

[meanmachinedvds]

Unreal...but stop hurting that Plymouth Fury...

[FunnyCartoons123]

sweet

[ProfessorK100]

funny how the Chrysler changes from a two door to a four door then back to a two door and loses parts then magically gets them back.

[NCW250]

What was Harpo Marxs doing driving the Chysler? What a strange film. Excellent!

[texacobigred42]

What kind of car is that (the one chasing "Christine")?

[grumpyoldsoandso]

It's an Opel Admiral: European body with Chev small-block V8.

[retroolschool]

@texacobigred42 60 Dodge

[SlothGunner]

that was absolutely ridiculous

[ZorbinEUR]

awesome chase, so real. no cgi n stuff.

and that is a rare plymouth fury rit there

[Stevedateve1000]

This has got to be the most awesome chase sequence I've ever seen, all things considered. They just don't make them like this anymore. I think something that really separates these old movie chase sequences from now a days, beyond just the cars used is that they don't use a bunch of distracting dramatic music. It's the same for instance in the French Connection, just the natural sound. It makes it feel so much more real.

[notjustanotherface]

Stevedateve1000, your statement is a bunch of monkey crap. Did you ever see the original Gone in 60 Seconds or its sequel called The Junkman? Also, at least half of the good chase films in the 1970s and 1980s used at least some form of dramatic music and I do not find it all the last bit distracting, so go stuff it, you elitist jerk!

[Ryoku75]

Not to mention that most of todays car chases aren't even beleivable since mere flat tires can make cars rollover in the air.

[rnrdemon]

@Stevedateve1000

And the cars just don't sound like that anymore today.

[CPFstudios]

the shot at 3:44 where the two are smashing together i think was used to create a scene or something in the Driver 2 game or the maual for that game

[flojoe1978]

it´s filmed in Hamburg, germany.

[Giancarlo1991CCCCCCC]

Primero es un plymouth y despues es un dodge ¿que paso??????????????

pero es un gran video

saludos!!! desde chile

[salz0723]

There is just something very special about 1970's and 80's car chases that

can not be captured in today's movies.

The cars have a lot to do with this.

And I'm sure the insurance companys as well.

[BlackMetalWarewolf]

Its the fact that old cars dent right, no matter how much you fuck with a 1970s or 1980s car it still keeps its looks. even when mangled under a truck you can tell what it used to be.

theres also no CGI, explosions and silly rollovers. the cars are destroyed slowly and painfully in such cruel ways. no machine should endure what these things go through.

atleast, thats why i like them over todays crash sequences.

[mrdeedz1]

Damn, that shit looks like fun!!!

[humanvynil]

hey is that a DS at 01:31?

[GavinJLang]

Christine.

[quirpco]

More like Christine's ugly sister.

[SheriffTankStoner]

And the car chasing the Ply-odge is an Opel Kommodore.

[sovereignknight]

now why can't anyone do car chaseS like that anyore? it's all about CGI n fx and showing shit no-one's seen b4...and what happens? a computer generated jump at the end of N. Cage's Gone in 60 seconds...SACRILEGE!!

[lowflyingcessna]

That looked FUN!! Christine fared pretty well.

[markbotv3]

i used to have a 59 plymouth with a poly and push button trans. the FINNS MAN THE FINNS

[sylvester60]

The gray car starts out as a 1957 Plymouth and goes back and forth in scenes with a 1960 Dodge.

[Volga2402]

awesome speed

in race chase - 58 plymouth

in crash chase - 58 DeSoto

[SCtvrules]

Awesome car chase. All the funny smashing. Christine's brother sure knows how to fight back and get away.

[StuntmanMuse]

That was one awesome car chase man!

Car chases aren't like that today, which is sad.

Well, Ronin did a pretty good and classsic job in chases.

[mrdeedz1]

i didnt know "christine" had a brother!!!

[Dimantra]

i wonder if he has a name

[TC95briz]

Did you notice that the Plymouth started off as a 2-door and ended up a 4-door?

[wetawdedhed]

Yes lol

[yastunt]

jawdropping car chase - well co-ordinated
