Christine! (like the car "Christine" but in a cop car role)

The California Kid (1974). Vic Morrow chasing Martin Sheen. In this movie Vic Morrow was an evil Sheriff who would come up behind kids speeding, then run/bump them off the road, usually sending them down a steep cliff.

The tunnel at 3:16 was used in Duel (1971) wasn't it?

@theautumnred

You are correct, this is that same stretch of road NE of L.A. And last I heard the restaurant in the movie Duel is still there, but it's now a French restaurant LOL.

i love how the california kid was all hunched up driving and the cop in that big 57 was smooth cruisin!

@gunny426plymouth

LOL of course by this point in the movie the cop had already had plenty of previous experience at running cocky kids off the road and down a hill, it was just routine business for him.

Vic Morrow had the role of the Dangerous Badass down to a science. Blackboard Jungle, Combat, Roots.........nobody else cound have played Sergeant Saunders in Combat like Vic.....

[1967PmdGto]

Hell yeah, that's another reason I like this --> Vic Morrow. Loved'em in BlackBoard Jungle, even in his younger days (like BlackBoard Jungle in 1955) he could display/act-out a type of 'meaness' you usually can't get/display until you're much older/grumpier, LOL.

So was that a former Christine car?

[REDNECKMCGURK]

Close Cristine was a 1958 plymouth. this is a 1957 plymouth.

[tripovermyego]

So Christine went from being on the good side to being on the bad side? Good car/bad car. :)
