Wild Car Chase "Le Coup / Le Casse / The Burglars" 1971 J.P.Belmondo / O.Sharif

[mi16t]

Fiat 125, not 124, sorry

[1957pinup]

REAL car chase. No CGI nonsense.

[gullemot37]

kizas la persecucion de vehiculos mas larga de lo ke he visto,,,, k no es poko

[swordfish1986]

Should be the standard reliability test for each manufacturer, lol.

[xyz30200]

jp belmondo n a pas réalisé cette cascade, il n était pas présent à ce moment .

A mon avis, ça reste la plus grande cascade en voiture de l histoire du cinéma

[rilson80]

hohohohooo...no coment...:DDD

[Betterifitsfree]

That reminds me of the ride on the way to the airport in Beirut.

[matrixbikes]

Sorry! Just a little correction: it's a FIAT 125 not the 124 My father had the same car in Europe. Actually he had them both the 125 and the 124 models.

[matrixbikes]

Sorry! Just a little correction: it's a FIAT 125 not the 124 My father had the same car in Europe.

[TheNorthBerliner]

The driver scenes in the Belmondo-filmes are the best - forget the rest! :-)

The OPEL REKORD is from 1963-1965 and from Typ "A". I drived Typ "D" and "E". :-)

[jerrylee01]

oh putain le drift de malade :D

[isettadnv]

These are real car chases, where you can see the cars in action; not like the computer stuff they do nowadays.

[Kdanren]

In 5.19 Skoda Octavia or Spartak....

[Veit81]

The first 30 seconds are for nothing, you could cut them out!

[teomotoss]

The BEST CHASE SCENE EVER, filmed here, in Athens, Greece!!!

been looking for this film for years.......

I was very joung when I first watched it!!!

they don't make it like this any more....... ;-)

[Ozzythenutter1046LS]

What was the funny back ground noise like a car starting when the headlight fell off the Fiat?

[1badmexican666]

what is the deal with these damn cars?! they sound like weed whackers and look like they have no suspension whatsoever!

[SteveMcQueen072]

what the music please ???!!

[hebneh]

They must've had about 15 of each of those cars to use in succession as each one got trashed in various ways. Of course none of this shows in the finished film; we can believe (sort of) that these two cars managed to get though this entire chase.

Only bad parts are the back-projection shots of Jean-Paul at the wheel, spliced in at the beginning - really fake-looking.

[guthywoodry]

JP Belmondo vs. Omar Shariff... -WOW !!!

-If not for YouTube I'd have never known of this cinematographic masterpiece of ''interpersonal vehicular conflictorialisme'' !!!

Bravo, All who produced this film, and those who posted it on YouTube !

What A Chase !

-Who are the stunt drivers ?

-They deserve an Oscar !

[SteveMcQueen072]

Bonjour, pouvez-vous me dire quelle est la musique que vous avez mis dans la vidéo ? merci !

Hi ! What the music please ??

[sekahkiller]

Belmondo is kinda the french Steve McQueen !!

[Polycoise70]

the red fiat which driving by the actor, jean paul belmondo, and his son drived in formula 1 at the biginning of the 90's

[mkcseit]

^^desoldering a car in 10 mn^^

[redletterchurch]

Is there such a thing as an International Car Chase Club (ICCC)? If there isn't - there should be. There could be monthly meetings with guest appearances by various movie stars and stunt drivers - and car chases at the local racetrack! OK - back to reality! How about car chase cars on EBAY?

[dorsaie]

Rémy Julienne drive the Opel.

But Is it really Jean-Paul Belmondo on the Fiat 124 ?

[temperidis]

I think its the chase that was imitated at the Bourne action series. And the original is maybe better considering the age and the lack of today's techniques in '71. I live in Athens and I was amazed to see the city 40 years ago. It was like this for real!

[ganimed1976]

one of the greatest car chases in movie hostory (imho)

[pintosnfiats]

Fiat and Opel can sure build 'em.

[yastunt]

Why cant they do car chase like THIS anymore!

[tonybeaulieu]

one of the best car chase ever period

[awaria10]

It is a fiat 125

[SparrowNoblePoland]

Negative. It's the Fiat 124 Special T. 

[sckvevrbdy]

Great bit with the candles being snuffed out, around 6:00.

[AdrianHamburg]

This was the time, when car chasees were great work !

[goncalobotelhosousa]

One of the best car chase ever.

[Freelandrew]

fiat 124 the best!!!!!

[Mariano095]

this the copy lada

[Vladislaw81]

The Fiat 124 is the source for the "Jiguli" auto.

I love this film.

[ajivins1]

That was a one way street you know...

[kitt1994]

This is great. Old car chases are much better than present.

[knusperberg]

@kitt1994 no ...you won´t have them again in the inner cities .. loud, stinking...dirty... electric is future

[kitt1994]

@knusperberg unfortunately You are right :(

[shermanikk]

Car chases are always so much better when the cars are piles of crap. The amount of abuse these things take is incredible. If you curb slammed a BMW like that fiat the entire suspension would have come off. Fiat just keeps on rolling.

Riding on the sidewalls too, bad ass.

[3bar]

You're right. One if the things I love about this chase is that it's just a couple of ordinary used-up cars.

[integraf40]

just superb. Anyone randomly know the song at the start of this?

[MontrealMan1970]

excellent drivers. those cars are hard to drive.

[frankd1965]

Cars were driven by legendary European Stunt Driver Remy Jullienne

[mi16t]

@MontrealMan1970

very very very hard to drive but so rewarding

[osmiling1]

Mercy! Best thing I've seen in ages!!!

[monsieurazad]

So tell me where are the Emaralds

I love that line when monsieur Azad my screename ask him that?

[fredroma66]

l' entrata nel sottopassaggio è una cavolata, per il resto è un bel inseguimento

[dofabrizzio1313]

9 minutes 39 d'adrénaline pure !!!

[bidul62]

bebel forever,ça c'est de la course poursuite!!!!!

5 étoiles!!

[ZorbinEUR]

this is a kick ass chase

[UomoBlooper]

Un inseguimento a dir poco noioso. Voglio dire, come location è ottima per un inseguimento automobilistico, ma sfruttarlo al meglio no, cazzo? Noi Italiani siamo meglio! Ma poi, come cazzo l'ha ridotta quella 124?! Solo due parole ho da dire a Jean-Paul Belmondo: PUTTANA EVA!

[ZorbinEUR]

ma che dici, questo inseguimento era spettacolare

[UomoBlooper]

No, è che intendo che se fosse paragonato a un inseguimento di Luc Merenda o di Maurizio Merli, questo è più noioso in confronto...

[flamen493]

I've been looking for this movie for 32 years!!!

[99612]

La voiture de Belmondo est une Fiat 124 Spécial T 1600cc. double arbre à came de 110 ch. Par contre, le tableau de bord que l'on voit un instant est celui de 124 spécial 1400. D'ailleurs ils ont utilisé plusieurs Fiat pour cette longue scène poursuite mémorable. Henry Verneuil ( le réalisateur) a dit dans un reportage qu'il y avait un camion atelier pour remettre les deux voitures à peu près en état à chaque scène.

[bidul62]

tu t'y connais bien en vieille voiture?moi perso je suis fan de l'opel kadett b 1968 jusqu'à 1972.

et j'adore bebel bien sur et les films anciens.

c'est cool de voir un compatriote qui s'interresse a ce genre de film.

sympa ton commentaire.a bientot peut-etre.en tout cas pour l'instant je te met un commentaire pertinant!!!!

[taospec]

That was awesome!

[beebbuoy]

i am about to buy this movie on Ebay, you get a mug with it also, superb!!

[shunjiokazaki]

Where can i get this movie?

Please send me a message!

[KpsaAndres]

Alucinante!!!

[MINOTAURE27]

Woah!!!

The 124 was completely dead after the chase.

[ozzythenutter]

Was that oil running out from under it before a loud noise came from the engine?

[Ozzythenutter1046LS]

@MINOTAURE27 How? He only turned off the engine when he had no escape from the policeman. If he had an escape route, the car would have continued on driving for him

[MINOTAURE27]

You should have used the original soundtrack better, it's by Ennio Morricone, you can't top that.

[ApRRRRRR]

i like it

[Bushbaby387]

The best thing is that the car-chase has absolutely nothing to do with the plot - it is a car-chase for its own sake. Brilliant!

[TheTarrMan]

what did they say in the end?

[Bushbaby387]

There was a little light banter about the speed he was travelling (40? Never!) that kind of thing - then JP says "Sorry, I won't do it again"

[vikos78]

At the end, of the chase in the french original version, Omar Sharif is asking Belmondo about how fast he thinks he was driving. And Belmondo says something like ...40 km/H ? 50 maybe...well don't tell me that I was doing 60?? !!

[TheTarrMan]

thanks

[RadialSkid]

I had some doubts about this chase initially....there is some obvious undercranking (to simulate speed) in the first two minutes, and those studio-shot rear-projection interior scenes were pretty dated, even by 1971 standards.

But by about two minutes in, this really started to get good. The Fiat running through the tunnel with people scrambling to each side to get out of the way seriously made me flinch.

[Walaki]

Best car chase scene by a million times!

[706rtocar]

Super!!!

[l1e9g7e9nd]

Peraia mou Peraia mou..pou exeis gia kamari sou ton Olympiako sou...

[WhiteMugen86]

Athens !!! Cool vid thanks !!!

[ornellasti]

ohhhh my god Greece ....

[JWLprod]

both cars are crap yet they are handling like nissan z cars

[LaDatte]

very cool

[inyasp69]

Let's get it right, it's not a

FIAT 124 T SPECIAL, it's a FIAT SPECIAL T!.

it had the 1600cc twin OHC 100BHP engine as fitted to the FIAT 125 Special. The Rev counter that's seen briefly was not fitted in the 1400cc 124 Special. Both cars obviously had uprated springs, there were'nt THAT strong.

[entenmotor]

The Opel Rekord should have been an "L6" with a six cylinder 100 hp engine, because with the smaller 55, 60 or 67 hp engines it would have been chanceless against the 80 hp Fiat, which even had a slightly better suspension.

Nevertheless - like hnpsar already mentioned - not everything is logical in movies. Once I even saw an onroad car chase with a Willys Jeep and an Alfa Spider (if I remember correctly).

[hnpsar]

I remember the filming of this movie in 1971. Particularly the scene with the trolley bus outside the Hilton (not shown in this video) takes a few seconds in the movie, but it took about a week to film!

Re. the car chase: to someone living in Athens, the scene sequences are illogical, jumping instantaneously from one neighborhood of the Athens-Piraeus metro area to another, located even as much as 15 km away! But the net effect on film is great, perhaps even as great as the 'Bullitt' car chase.

[javeljaveljavel]

yeah, i agree with you, it's even better than "BULLIT"

[thunder1977]

Much under-rated chase scene from a gem of a gangster film starring Belmondo & Sharif - snubbed by many because it does not feature shiny new V8 US muscle cars.

Wonderful work by French stunt co-ordinator Remy Julienne

Great use of quirky European humour when the cars slipstream blows out the candles carried in the religious procession, and when the young crowd deserts the Greek dance to run up the ampitheatre steps and watch the car chase in progress.

[kygufa]

I think I saw this on TV about 15 years ago. Does it end in a grain silo or something like that?

[javeljaveljavel]

yeah, you're right man. It ends like this, OMAR SHARIF get killed in the grain silo

[apeandbirdgang]

that was great. i particlarly liked the bit with the oil barrels...

[Slaviccommie]

Fantastic

[louswire]

I've never... ever, felt sorry for a fiat . . . until I saw this clip...

that poor car got beat like a rented mule.

[Slaviccommie]

Those can take some shit...

[tomcatfour]

Vom drift über u-bahn-stationstreppen bis zum Rammaneuver so ziemlich alles.Auch extrem beschädigte wagen...Die kirchen-szene war eine der geilsten

[xdj70s]

That Opel is a total "beater". Great chase but those little shit-box cars back then sound like beafed-up lawnmowers. Also, I believe the name of the film was "Le Casse".

[eroshi]

Those little shit box cars back then were made mostly of steel and they were pretty durable.

[KaiserSauzay]

Yep, little or no special effects and ,er, no "computer graphics" what so ever.

[dddrw]

Jean-Paul Belmondo's fans forum opened:

belmondoDOTru/forum_en/

[hasznos01]

ohh... Es tut mir leid. Ich bin Ausländer.

Heeheeheee. :)

[f150L]

NO SHIT....

[casimir555]

The title of this film is "Le casse" in French or "The Burglars" in English.

Belmondo "Azad" is driving a FIAT 124 T SPECIAL and Sharif "Commissaire Zacharia" is driving a OPEL REKORD. Turned in the middle town of Athens with Remy Julienne's team. I love this film ans also the soundtrack of Morricone.

[3bar]

Awesome chase with a prettty anticlimactic ending.......

[mafketeltje34]

i played this part over and over  when i was a kid

[precele]

Omar Sharif: "Did you know that we have a speed limit in our country?"

J-P Belmondo: "I am so sorry I am a tourist"

Location: Greece? Could it be Thessaloniki?

[toxristomou]

The location is the center of Athens Likabitus, pireus pasalimani, and the old airport

[endi1500s]

Rear wheel drive!!!

[909jjuy]

Kjempebra...! en av de bedre!!Thanks for posting it!!

[Chickenlool]

wow

[Chickenlool]

wow

[batdoguk]

I've always thought that this is one of the best car chase scenes - even better than Bullitt. But it never gets a mention in any Best Car Chase polls.

[callecar]

Belmondo's car is not a Fiat 125 but a Fiat 124 T special.

[josatinho]

WHAT CAR IS THE FIRST ONE

[vikingnet1982]

Belmondo is riding a Fiat 125, the one chasing him is a Ford Cortina, or some kind of Opel i think

[robinlee1972]

proof that you never mix a cross ply with a radial (on the same axle).

[fahed997]

From what I saw in the most beautiful films

thanke you JP Belmondo and omar shref

for that

[MagicLewisForever]

So, JP Belmondo invented Drifting! :D

[jstntlvr]

Far more likely that some of the first ppl to drift there cars were the dirt track racers of the 50s and I am sure that ppl were doing it before then.

[KahnBB6]

Can anyone translate the brief dialogue at the very end?

[guroeskrima]

THE BURGLARS is the english title of this film, it is very enjoyable, with Dyan Cannon

also. Another great Belmondo film is THE BRAIN

with Eli Wallach, David Niven (another heist).

[omarbashter]

one of de best scene for great legend omar sharif

[aekman212000]

Excellent scene by an excellent actor!Bravo Jean!

[frankd1965]

Remy Jullienne provided the stunt driving. He is a legend
