this would be good if not for annoying background music. and the aspect ratio is whack.

I have a old Motor Trend mag from 74 that talks about this chase scene and movie. MT was on the set when they filmed this chase. And yes Gary Mclarty was the stunt driver in the Chevy and was in it when it rolled. Great chase.

@kimisdaman During that film, McQ's Firebird got crushed by two trucks. Pretty much if you want an ideal car chase. #1 Don't need CGI, just run it in a real environment and #2 Get a car that can be tough and mean, no weakling green cars.

@autofuturist I probably should explain the "BRAKE PEDAL TRIGGER" comment. In doing early CANNONROLLS, the car would be first put into an "E-BRAKE SLIDE". The trigger on the parking brake would be disabled, allowing the driver to lock-up the rear tires repeatedly at will. On asphalt, the E-BRAKE is activated, the tire skids, and rubber turns to a grease-like substance. Not the same on sand, however. The car is slid sideways, then the brake pedal is hit.
The music is the best part. Man, whats wrong with some people? That was the seventies.

You couldn't even make this movie anymore. Crashing cars on the beach... the environmentalist would go nuts.
