Dude... I have been looking for this movie ever since I was a kid in the late 80's. I saw this on HBO and there was that one song in there that had been stuck in my head for nearly 30 years. And for putting this on here... Thank you.
So happy this is uploaded to YT. I had the VHS copy I used to watch over and over, finally wore out the tape. Cheesy acting, awesome cars, good soundtrack, ahhhh. The 80s - your simplicity and over exaggeration are sorely missed.
I like how the Police cruiser shows up at the end ready for road battle with the polished wheels but as soon as they break before running off cliff the car is back to black steelies!
Shit I worked on that show doing Visual Effects! I remember on a green screen shoot I had a tennis ball on a C-Stand and Shannen Doherty refused to speak to a yellow tennis ball. Took an hour to convince her to do it. Not sure if it's the same show your talking about but it was fun to work on. It was a Spelling Television production.
John shepherd (Beck Baxter) sure talked more in this than he did as Tommy in "Friday the 13th PT 5: A new beginning" lol. Dean Stockwell and Billy Drago are among some of my favourite actors. Never saw this movie before, but I really liked it. Thanks.
The best Movie ever. For many many many Years I see this movie in German TV. 1 time and never more send this movie in TV:=(. I have record this on old VHS Recorder and watched again again. Then I lost this VHS Tape. And now, so many Years later I see this on YT. Thanks for Upload.
I was born in 88 and seen this movie in the late 90's and very early like 2002 the latest and since then couldnt remember the name of it but was watching the untouchables and new billy drago was in it and so i looked up dragos past movies and brought me here after like 2 decades im watching it ....🔥💯👌
Lesley Wentzell I make tribute for Dean because I love this guy especially there are very few videos on him! And he has an impressive career, It's a pity that Dean had no leading part :(
Al Ziggy It's a shame he had to go through so much pain before finally being happy with his craft (but at least he IS happy now): www.nytimes.com/1988/09/11/movies/film-dean-stockwell-happy-at-last-in-hollywood.html?scp=8&sq=Dean%20Stockwell&st=cse articles.latimes.com/1990-07-15/news/tv-385_1_dean-stockwell
@@Lesley_RedRhody I found the article you shared .his story of acting so young is amazing and difficult .it is something that the way they describe him as a child is beautiful not often to describe a little boy .I screenshot so I can reshare to a fb group .
The 928S was a really fast car in the 80's drove a few, the White was definetly has a rear Euro Bumper with the Red Rear foglight.. pretty sweet. Great movie for car nuts.
JuergenGDB The 928 was a POS in Germany and when I was 17 thru my 20's I always got a chance to drive the later models of the 928 as I had family working there. Ive drove 5 models of them over the years they sold em as my one of my brothers works there still does btw. But I drove 5 of em from the std to the GTS and all compared to the 911's and even BMW's they were slugs and with your US smog restrictions it was even slower. The car was so heavy and it ate gas like a truck in fact most Porsche guys called it a truck. I was born and raised in Germany in Stuttgart for that matter where aka Porsche country its a small city of just half a million people and Porsche's are like everywhere. Everyone for my hometown knew,knows or has worked there. But back on topic..Only the last 928 GTS was what you can call fast even for today. But its a known fact the 924,944, 968 and 928 or all front engined Porsche's were failures etc. I know live in the US as I met my future wife in university in CA she in med school and I in History and learned English as a minor. She's now a well known or I should a very reputable MD and Surgeon in West LA and I work in LE. I own a 2014 991s and still have my old 95 993 I am a lifetime PCCA member they are not daily drivers tho. I drive a VW golf to work and the wife a 2012 370z Nismo edition. I love 911's as their yes pricy but for moi not too expensive, but they are very reliable cars and unlike those showy exotics 911's have a subtle look in fact they look a lot like the Nissan Zeds. I hate Lamborghini's and other look at me cars. Ha in two years just routine service costs for those overpriced poser cars cost more than any 911 which their service costs about the same as a 350 or 370z or even a Toyota a Ferrari for example costs over $30K for its routine service that is just plain nuts and those cars are not even close to reliable, even the Nissan Zed is a more reliable car as again its a car my wife owns and uses as her DD, tho my new 911 has 4yrs of free maintenance, Nissan has nada. But no worries after the warranty we or I always do my own service on all our cars even my kids cars and use reputable 3rd party guys for serious work etc when the warranty is over NEVER use a dealer ever. Anyway good movie but only for the cars Dean Stockwell and the Mechanic are the only ones who could act oh and Billy Drago of course. But the rest oh man terrible... Like my favorite car B movie is No mans land with Charlie Sheen and DB Sweeny as they only Porsche's in that film but acting and story sucked as did Banzai Runner love the Intro and Outro songs tho I wish somebody has a copy of it as its not even for sale Tho I do have the DVD of this film its from the UK so you need a region free player which are easy to find I use Philips for those type discs.. Pardon the long comment just love to talk shop :)
Jesus.. man.. I said it was fast, not a track car. LOL. By the way I am a Porsche 911 owner, and nothing really compares to it, like I said the V8 in the 928S was decent, and it was fast, may not handle like a 911 but on a open road who cares.
JuergenGDB Dude calm down sheesh, just having a bit of constructive criticism ;) and sorry IMHO (just mine OK?!!) pal the 928s in those days was near a US Camaro from my experience not fast at all the thing had bad lag from the weight of the car, the engine just did not have the HP to pull the weight. Again TO ME as I don't know what fast is to you. And open road haha don't forget I was a former LAPD motorcycle officer for 7+yrs before I moved to a federal agency but back then I used to go pretty fast during work and off, on empty roads of course, but shhhh. Are you from or in Germany? I moved here for university at 17 but got married and stayed Im in my mid 40's now but have still have dual citizenship and a home back in Stuttgart. But hey were on the same side we both own the yet again imo hehe, real Porsche's that was what my point to me the 928 was too fat and slow. was btw what year and model 911 do you have? Do you go to PCCA meets either in the states or the EU? I go every year, check the US south west chapters and ask for a Erich most know who I am as Im on the board for our chapter etc. Stay safe.
I guess the Porsche's I drove seemed a bit faster then pretty much anything I came across at the time.. anyways their old and it does not matter, although the 4th Gen Camaros never broke 300hp I think. Anyways I have some pics of my cars on my you tube site. A long time ago I had a 86 911 with 88 upgraded engine, and other goodies. Now I have a 996 turbo, modified. its about 550whp
I just noticed something. I happen to wathcing this movie and all of the sudden I realized that they used 2 928 Porsches in this movie. Don't believe me then pause the movie at 1:11:56 and 1:14:59. In the clip at 1:11:56 you can see thar Osborne's car is a euro spec 928 or a Special Gemballa edition car. You can see the more aggressive front airdam spoiler beneath the front bumper. Then at 1:14:59 during the race you see another shot of the car from the front and it is gone meaning it is a bone stock 928. Need more proof, in a quick rear view shot of the car it no longer has its Euro specification rear fog light, and it has ugly black bumper pads mounted in the license plate surround cut out.
+JuergenGDB It took me a while to learn who that creepy guy was in Ghost Town, Copperhead and um a few awesome films...But did they have to kill BILLY off?...:(
So glad I bought this film on DVD back when it was in print the resolution 100 times clearer than this or a vhs tape which I also own. Wish is came on bluray.
im thinking of doing that to my 81 Swb Chevy.ever since i saw that movie.but i wonder what kind of engine they have in it.and what kind of transmission.surely 4 speed.
Geiler Film aus dennn guten 80ern denn ich gerne mal auf DVD sehn möchte auf Deutsch nur leider gibts denn bis Heute noch nicht in einer Deutschen Dvd Fassung,echt schade :(
I remember seeing the intro for this movie like 30 years ago, but could never figure out the title until I stumbled across it on RU-vid a few year back. I think I probably watched it for Tommy and Junior from Friday the 13th Part V. Then I was like "Hey, that's that intro I remember.!"
Some old USA here. You kids missed out on more freedom, but I am sure I missed out also to the generation before me. How much longer, when no freedom is left?
The freedom of one person is the tyrannical dictatorship of another person. The reality is that the concept of freedom is subjective rather than objective, but the concept of tyranny is an objective viewpoint that humans would do well to avoid in their lives.
EarthSurferUSA. I think the same. I think - Pax Humana - I don't understand - what are you smoking? Why is freedom subjective? All the women in this film are proper loopy-loo, just as they should be and used to be. Now they all want to be blokes and go weight lifting. In the old days before WW2, kids made pipe bombs for fun. An old guy told me that's how he lost his hand when he whacked one with a hammer. What we all really need is a whacking great solar flare to take out all these stinking satellites. No more RU-vid but.....
Um... no. This movie couldn't be anything further from that. This thing reminds me of a late 80s psa. The cringe lines, bad acting, and the conveniently vapid plot.. its the perfect storm
Why don’t they think about remaking classics like this one and the cannonball series it is so hard to find them on Netflix and they really should come out with a blue ray collection of 80’s racing movies like this one, the cannonball series and some others the only thing that would have been good is seeing more fast cars instead of 2 maybe have 2 different shipments and 2 decoys that would have made for a cool race
+fargeeks Ford won LeMans 4times in a row! 66 GT40Mkll,67 GT40MklV,68n69 GT40 w/Gurney Westlake heads. Same chassis# both years. Not bad. Road in one once real thrill.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
I remember this movie from the lamborghini miura scene. Couldnt remember the name though so im glad i finally found it. The miura is worth 7 figures now so its kinda funny seeing one get shot at.
And for some reason it turned up at the end with a supercharger… but it’s all the same thing unless you know anything about cars but the writers, cast, crew and the intended audience for this obviously didn’t. 😂
We really need this out on blue ray and with a collection of other great 80’s racing movies they should also make a TV series or a new movie series based off of this plot line it also shows how brave cops are when they have to get the main target and the drugs off the streets I can’t figure out what the yellow car is the white one is a porche but the other one looks like a lambo or a Ferrari some of the movies today need to look at classics like this and take some pages to make the action and the plot cooler
I'm confused since when is smoking a joint more serious smoking in front of your dad that's a cop then having your friend shoot up on a car he's not a deputy
