The old Gone In 60 Seconds chase

[Tacoclaw]

I finally made a youtube account and was able to put together this playlist. I watch this anytime I've got an hour or so to burn and have even a little doubt about how to burn it. I always had to find the next one in the list and play it...

Also, this is literally over an hour long, but it's worth it, especially if you've never seen it.

Gone in 60 Seconds

Never had (took) the opportunity to watch the early version.
Thanks for the link, I watched all 5 segments!

Never seen "Bullit", either.

Glad you liked it. I'll also assume, after reading your feelings towards Mopar owners over the years, that you had an evil smile throughout that scene, huh?

I did overestimate the time a bit, it's only around 45 minutes, but it's my favorite chase hands down.


They just don't, and can't, make them like that anymore.

Tacoclaw, you mis-understand my comments about Mopar owners to include the cars themselves and you couldn't be further from wrong.
I love the cars, in fact I'm picking up a rustfree 1969 Dart on Wednesday, that I hope to drive in the spring.
I'm Muscle-Era Mopar through and through, unfortunately a good majority of Mopar owners are idiots who feel their shti don't stink.
The cars don't make the owners have idiotic tendacies, it's the owners who have the attitude.

I cringed at a lot of the cars that were wrecked on those clips, from the old Furies, Monacos, '70 Coronet and '71 Satellite cop cars, to the blue 1971 Road Runner, the '70 Barracuda in the slo-mo jump scene.
I even felt a twinge for the '73 Mustang that was being annihilated.

I was in a yard in Southern Kansas the other day, there were '67 & '68 Coronets, '71 Dusters, a '73 340 Road Runner, '69 GTXs and more.
There was even a 1 of 50 ever built, 2 door post 1967 Plymouth Belvedere I Kansas Highway Patrol car, optioned with a 383, Automatic, A/C, Sure Grip and disc brakes.
All of that cool old Mopar history, rotted to about worthlessness from sitting.

I agree, it's a shame to see those cars getting smashed up. On the plus side, the guy that made the movie owned his own junkyard so most of those cars are prettied up totals.

I was surprised to see all the Mopar cop cars. It seems like they were all Fords and Chevys in the 80/90s when I was little.

Now don't lie, you're still little.

Fine, when I was younger then.
