a TRUE BAD Mofo: Charles Bronson. RIP BRONSON he had his wife Jill Ireland's ashes buried with him at Brownsville Cemetary, Vermont. Someone did a video visit to his grave it's a peaceful place.
Ford used this movie footage (Mr,. Majestik) in some of their commercials back in the day saying that they only used one truck in the filming. Btw...the movie was filmed in SE Colorado a rather beautiful but desolate in some places.
I remember some of those scenes being used in Ford Truck commercials on TV! ‘Built Ford Tough’ was the tag line. The whole sequence filmed near Canyon City, Colorado. I had a tiny part as a TV cameraman down in La Junta when they took the bad guy out of jail. Good times….
The chassis on those old F Trucks would crack if you went over a kerb with a 6 pack of toilet paper and 2 pillows in the back, as it was C section, not Box section.
In the first chase you can see the whole front end destroyed when he hit the railway lines. Ouch. Imaging a cop in real life doing all that damage and endangering more lives than the crim he's chasing. Great stuff though. My all time favorite chase is the original gone in 60 seconds.
Assembling a shotgun in the back of a pickup truck bouncing cross-country, now that's some Special Forces sh!t right there. Arnold, Sylvester or even Chuck never did that.
Notice 2 things. First he was driving a DODGE because the rest could not have kept up, and second see just how reliable the DODGE was at 1:47 when the left front wheel is almost torn off and then miraculously re-aligned to continue the chase !!!
The chase in The Stone Killer reminds me of the opening chase scene in The Other Guys. They wrecked half the city and put hundreds of people in danger for $5000 worth of weed.

I wonder how many of those yellow trucks they wrecked shooting that last chase scene? I noticed in one shot it was missing a headlight, then next shot it had two headlights again, proof of more than one vehicle, and breakages. Those stunts must have broken a whole lot of trucks. Maybe they had only two or three, with a team of welders and mechanics patching cars to be ready for the next breakage on the one being filmed at the moment.
